Explain why people love Pokemon games to me please!

IMO its.

II > III > V > I > IV    (Remakes not a factor)

Gen 3 was like 2002-2006

I was in Middle/High School then and my parents were no longer giving me money to buy games.

So with what money I could earn I focused more on my GC games than my GBA games. ;p
