Continuing our look back at the third Generation of Pokémon, we’re bringing you the next Ask PokéJungle.
Similarly to the second before it, Generation III is where a lot of trainers started their Pokémon Adventures, while, for others it was the third time they’d been introduced to a new batch of Pocket Monsters. Ruby and Sapphire undeniably introduced some of the biggest changes and additions to the series, including many that are still fan favourites today, such as secret bases.
If you’ve not already guessed, in this Jungle Asks we’re going to be focusing on all the Third Generation Pokémon games. We want to hear your questions! This is your chance to ask us and one another anything about the Third Generation, anything goes! So, yeah, have at it! And yes, just because I personally like the third generation the least, you can still ask me things…

Wow. The article image is from the manga. My avatar is also from the manga. It’s
Like this article was made for me.
I want to knowwww, where was your secret base? That way I can come over and trash it later. Maybe throw a party when you’re not there.
no i drew it ok i a manga expert..
I can’t remember exactly where it was. I can only remember it was right by some water. And an indent.
Considering Hoenn is 98% water, that doesn’t really help. 😛
Also, it was in Hoenn.
Ooh, was it that place near that other place?
Yes!
In one of the caves in thet ‘secret’ water route next to Rustboro.
Omg, like to the North of Rustboro? 0_o
Route 115, yes.
I was there as well, then I moved xD.
Manga!!!!!
It was in route 114, in the middle of the little lake in a tree
Generation 3 was a weird one for me.
It was my third Go through pokemon as I’m a generation 1 veteran ( or old man ) :p
I always remember when I first started playing it I loved some of the pokemon but I wasn’t happy with the large lack of older pokemon that I loved and no way to get them until fire red leaf green. The lack of day night also bothered me.
However the older the games and I got, the more I started appreciating them and their huge steps forward with abilities,bases, and diving improved game mechanics. Some great new introductions and new pokemon were also in that generation like the elegant milotic, and vicious sharpedo.
One of my only requests for a remake for the near perfect games are to make sure mega evolutions are back and add just a small few to certain pokemon. Also a bigger and more in depth go of secret bases. They have such a big opportunity to make these games greater. 🙂
You! 😮 How’s your personal situation now? 😮 You’re never here…
Hey !!! Things have never been better on my end now 😀 Hows everything with you ? 🙂 ill be back on this alot more now hopefully 🙂

Pokémon videos always skip a frame every three seconds. I never get this with any other video and it’s getting really annoying. SMH.
You’re right! That’s so weird!
Soooooooooo first of all, I love Hoenn. <3 What is everyone's favorite starter? Mine is pretty obvious, lol. And next, I would've asked Aqua or Magma, but Dae stole that from me 😛
Contests!! Did you participate in them? I found that after a long day of surfing and listening to trumpets, nothing was quite as relaxing as participating in contests. What was your favorite condition? Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, or Tough? Also if you could pick one condition to describe yourself, which would it be? I myself would pick Cool, and I always did contests with my Masquerain who was in Beauty.
I loved contests, except for when I hated them. Cause I also mess up ONCE cause of the moves part of it, and then I fail. ;~; But I am so very smrt, and I no how to spel and use grammer, so I am smrt.
A few, I sort of found no motivation or reason to do them though.
If they do add Hoenn back it should be in the Future of RSE to show how BW and Kalos were in the Future, They Are My First Games, Got Ruby and then Sapphire for My Birthday, and Was Suprised when I learned a lot of people I saw on Youtube talking on how they skipped them and got back on the pokemon bandwagon with gen 4
Well to stet the scene
I played Ruby and Sapphire completely Blind
I never even owned a copy of Gold or Silver but followed the anime
I received it a a gift for a plane ride on a trip to Florida, I was shocked and thrilled, I didn’t know to expect (really I was nine or something) but I loved it)
That’s what I wanna ask you, How did you really feel the moment you picked up that Game Box
Also who did you pick?:
and which Gym Leader/Elite Four gave you the most trouble:
I was 3 and picked
Torchic.
WORST MISTAKE EVER.
Also, I didn’t have much trouble really, but maybe Winona.
I chose Torchic….best decision ever
and I had loads of Trouble on Winona
I mean, all the Hoenn starters are amazing <3
But I still like Mudkipz most.
And now that I think about it, she did give me lots o' trouble.
Dragon Dance and Earthquake?
Competitively. I just ran Surf, Muddy Water, Earthquake and Hydro Cannon. XD
Well, there was a one year gap between the release of RS and the time I got my game. I wasn’t very active with games back then, hardly playing my GBA. But then it was my birthday and we were in a normal store and I saw it and I wanted it so hard.
That’s when I started getting into Pokémon again. Got a DS shortly after, which made me play even more. If it wasn’t for that day I would have never visisted this site.
Also, I picked Mudkip, simply because it’s the best.
Oh my gosh you’re amazing.
I went for ruby as i thaught groudon looked just totally badass 🙂 I chose mudkip first time, which i enjoyed. But i am partial to water type starters 🙂 whatever way i plan my teams sometimes in the elite four drake would always pose a problem just by draining my pp and also koing my pokemon. That always seem to have a type disadvantage when i play with random pokemon i never use 😛
Ruby. I had no idea what I was getting into, but it was fun. I picked treecko, but I lost my game when I was moving. I later played sapphire and picked torchic.
I changed my Pokejungle page from Google Chrome to Safari.
And?
Disqus Crashed on Google Chrome.
Ohhhhhhh ok.
Anyone?
@TheHipsterNatu
I got your FC.
My friend had this theory: So, with the imminent Hoenn Remakes, and that list of Hoenn Megas, he thinks there’ll be Mega Deoxys.Deoxys ist he DNA Pokemon, and we know Mega Evolution has something to do with DNA. Remember the Intriguing Stone? Deoxys has a stone in it’s chest. Just an interesting theory!
Imagine: Nintendo reveals R/S/E remakes in E3 and Sceptile alongside Mewtwo get revealed as a newcomer and returning character for Smash.. the tagline “Mewtwo strikes back” is too perfect for him not to return. That would be the best thing that could ever happen for a Nintendo fan haha
Heck yes. Then we’d have a rep from every starter type, and they’d all be bipedal (kind of) reptilian/amphibious pokemon. Plus they’re the coolest.
No es Swampert, Chesnaught and Charizard/Blaziken. Then I say yes.
As much as I like Sceptile…I don’t really want him to be in SSB. His body structure and moves would just be too similar to Lucario and now Greninja.
Ooh, another question: Groudon, Kyogre, or Rayquaza?
Tough one…Probably Rayquaza, then a tie between Kyogre and Groudon
Ooh good.
Although I might lean slightly toward Kyogre over Groudon just because Sapphire is my birthstone and I love it >.>
Yeah, I like Rayquaza then Kyogre then Groudon cause Sapphire was my first game, then I played Emerald and got my Rayquaza to 95 or so. Never played Ruby.
Kyogre > Rayquaza > Groudon.
Das close enough.
Rayquaza> Kyogre> Groudon
Groudon, then Rayquaza. I find Kyogre kinda meh.
Rayquaza > Kyogre > Groudon.
Groudon is U.G.L.I.
Yay es perfect!
Am I alone in thinking Gen 3 was pretty amazing except that the pokemon from Hoenn were kind of meh?
:0 You’re joking right? Swampert, Sceptile, Blaziken, Gardevoir, Aggron, Salamance, Metagross, Ludicolo, Sableye, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, etc. It has my favorite Pkmn.
Well of course it has some good ones but a lot of ones that just aren’t interesting.
Oh that’s somewhat true.
Then again…. Every region has that.
True, I just found the boring Hoenn ones to be kind of basic in design. Not always a bad thing but idk. Maybe it’s just because I dislike a lot of the hoenn pokemon
🙁
Like Pelipper, Lunatone, Solrock, Castform, Dustox, Slaking, Exploud, Heriyama, NOSEPASS, Mawile (sorry guys!), Medicham, Plusle, Minun, Manectric (kinda), Illumise, Volbeat, Swalot, SPINDA, Zangoose, Seviper, Wiscash, Claydol (hate it), Tropius, Chimecho, Luvdisc, Regis, etc. Wow, sounds like I’m doing the pokerap.
I mean, some of those are pretty stupid and some were annoying up until Gen 6, when they got Megas, like Mawile, Medicham, and Manectric. Others are just plain plain.
It just never made sense to me how the heck Mawile is a steel type. I just don’t get it.
Ooh Sableye!
So I guess I’m not thinking that.
I’m bored…
Punch yourself in the face?
I already conked myself with my Hammer
One on purpose
Two by accident
Thanks you thick skull!
XD Why?! XD
My ways are “unorthodox”
Very Unorthodox
XD But a hammer to the head?
And I only suffered Tribunal Brain Dablage
🙁
Are you enjoying your self Earthen?
Oh you know, just me being me
Figured.
Hey this place would be pretty boring without me around
Nobody could ever replace me
yep that is true!
Good morin my Pokepeeps!
Goodmorning PJBFF! herd your hotel burned down? :0
yep. So I’m back for now.
Yo Kanto didja hear i got myself a new team?
ooooooh I’m interseted. Please tell me more. Did you make a new team of Earthen warriors?
Well this team alreay has a 2 win streak
first Dude-e, then ShinySceptile
wanna be the third Victim?
sure single or double? I want to know if i should use my regionals team.
Singles
ok lets go.
Good morning Sir!
Mornin’!
So I have a question about Gen III (sort of).
Were you upset when you found out that Gen V ruined Groudon and Kyogre’s Signature Abilities?
I’m glad they Nerfed Drought and Drizzle
but i’m majorly pissed that they ruined my Hippowdon’s Sand Stream
I have to use a Smooth Stone to keep it going instead of leftovers
Hi Earthen !!! it’s been a while. But I kinda disagree. All 3 weather types we’re broken and i’m glad they nerfed it. Last gen everybody was using weather teams and the only way to counter it was bring your own weather. Plus swiftswim Kingdra and Sand rush ExcaDrill where IMPOSSBILE to outspeed. Until they made it Uber
Well I had a good vacation while it lasted. I must say there were some BUITITFUL Bunnerys there if you know what i mean. 😉
0.0
GG Earthen!
God DAMN IT MEGA KANG
😉 I was going to swich to aggron but then I saw you have scrafty and I was not going to risk the 4x weakness.
Why couldn’t you just get Paralyzed
I have strong and unbreakable bond between me and my pokemon.
Bull
Mega Kang is literally impossible to revenge kill and you know it
Mega mawile has beat it. As have mega manchaim.
Yeah only because of Sucker Punch and if you can get the Swords dance otherwise
1 2 Power Up Punches
either Sucker Punch and or Earthquake
Mawile broken and Medicham Destroyed
and Mega Kang has enough bulk to endure any attack
Try a Cofagrigus or Ferrothorn against it. That’s the only way I can beat it.
what about the Sucker Punch or Crunch
I use bite, 60% flinch.
Mummy! XD Cofa can take it with max defense and Hp. Mine doesn’t have max defense but close enough.
Whatever my blood’s still angry
I understand. They’re extremely difficult to counter anyway you look at it.
That’s my point
near impossible to revenge kill unless you have the EXACT counter which most people don’t carry
use a fast pokemon to outspeed then use retaliate for 1-hit KO. Its what killed my kanga many times. I’m trying to help you man.
Ugh…. I just don’t believe its possible to 1HKO a Mega Kangaskhan, unless a major Fighting Stab Banded blow
and Out Speeding is just as hard since everyone like to run Jolly Max Speed and Attack
I’m giving you tips from what I learned at regionals, If you dont want to take my advice then its your fault.
I litarly ALWAYS lose on battle spot, maybe your just not approaching it right :/
I did
I Glared it to paralyze it and to reduce it speed and landed the Drain Punch
I would have beaten it unless Paralysis kicked in but didn’t
At regionals my Kanga was beat by burn to half the attack.
Medicham is awful to fight. Mawile is easy to take down with Mamoswine and Mega Dos. Unless it has dual screens up.
Hey…hey Earthen…use Sableye.
Question for all: Who has not played Hoenn here?
i have. have you?
Nope.
You NEED to!
Thas Y we are waiting for da Cunfurmation ov Hurrn
I…haven’t. :'(
Do it now.
Why wouldn’t anyone like the third gen?
For reasons. OPINIONS.
As I thought…
For all: What are your favourite 5 Hoenn Pokémon?
Rayquaza
I like all the starters. Best designs IMO. Poochyena and Mightyena may be my favs though.
There’s gonna be a Jungle5 for Hurren.
Mine are: Walrein, Vibrava, Grovyle, Shiftry and Manectric
Sableye, Manetric, Swampert, Kecleon, Salamence. Order is probably about right, though not certain!
Mawile, Flygon, Shuppet, Sableye, Lati@s.
Do I have a PJBFF?
Me!!!! 😀
Hi PJBFF!
Buddy! ;D
What does FTW mean?
For The Win duhhh
I didn’t know XD
Read the Pasta.
At first I thought it was just WTF backwards.
F*** The World!
JK
It’s Acutually: For The Win.
XD I remember when my friend thought that’s what it meant lol.
