My most memorable experience with this generation was when i picked up Pokemon Emerald and its guide prior to moving from California to Maryland after 7th Grade. Those five days in the care just flew by as I battled and caught more pokemons. Granted, I did have the previous ones as well. At one point, I had every game of that generation, sadly many of them have been lost one way or another, but luckily, my Gen III team made its transition over to the DS in platinum, as did my entire legendary collection
So excited to see these remakes at long last! The hoenn region is by far my favorite.
