** Gen III did the following: drastically changed style in Pokemon design, had no backwards compatability, was very much driven by MoneyDearBoy (between all the versions and games you needed to complete the Dex), Hoenn was ''half water routes'', and the rest of the region is relatively bland. Gen V on the other hand did the following: answered many fan requests (weather in battle, faster battles, more rivals, reusable TMs), had a compelling and interesting story, varied and diverse areas, and while it did introduce entirely new Pokemon, the old ones are still widely available. And frankly, the fandom is also a bit more mature than the Gen III days. Gen V also really just has a bunch of polish that the Gen III games really don't have in hindsight.

*Why did almost no fans really have a problem with Generation V, when it was pretty much Generation III all over again, and more fans complained about that than ever? In both Generations, we are uprooted into a region far away from anything we are familiar with (Hoenn is an island region far away from the Tohjo Continent, and Unova is far from ANY of the regions), the Pokedex was completely overhauled in both, with either very little or no Pokemon from previous generations being catchable), and yet fans complained more about Gen III than Gen V. I am so confused as to why.

** Because N went away at the end? Even if he got all 8 badges (which I think he did, as we see him leaving at least 1 gym and then as we leave another) and fought all the Elite 4 members (even more likely, as two of them mention him, as above troper mentioned), if he's not around, perhaps the Champion title just defaulted back to Alder. Or Alder just battled the Elite 4 members over again for the sake of formality and they just reinstated him in the absence of N.

** Kilnklang is the same one from Chargestone Cave because it decided it really liked N and wanted him to be its Trainer, while the other Pokemon with him at the time liked him but not that much. N tried to dissuade it repeatedly, but he wouldn't ''abandon'' a Pokemon friend that wanted to stay that badly, so it ended up staying with him. As for Vanilluxe, probably another childhood friend like Zoroark, and same deal with the fossils.

*** Klinklang is also likely another one of his childhood friends, given how technically the battle takes place at his castle and not at the league. It's quite possible that he stopped down there before fighting the Elite 4 given how it's right underneath the league building.

** Dragonite is really quite rare - there are few, if any, the wild, and the only notable trainers with them are Lance, Clair if one of her Dragonair evolved, Drake could have one but isn't using it, and possibly Ethan/Lyra, being player characters and everything. Cipher got hold of one, but no-one cares about Orre so it doesn't matter. It's possible none of the people involved had ever seen a Dragonite, and thus didn't realise it wasn't what they were looking for.

** Dwebble isn't even that effective against her Emolgas. It's too slow for rock polish to make any kind of difference in the battle flow and Dwebble's low special defence means it goes down within about 2 Volt Switches.

When they got to the museum, they only saw one thing related to dragons, which is Dragonite's skeleton.

*Why is it that when people complain about fighting [[ThatOneBoss Elesa]], they claim that her pair of Emolga are difficult because there's only one Rock-type (Roggenrola) and it's too slow (which is true)? You can pick up a Dwebble in Desert Resort (accessible prior to Elesa's gym) that learns Rock Polish (boosts speed) and Smack Down (allows Ground-type attacks to hit Emolga). The fight is much easier with one of these guys on your team.
