I wouldn't say Gen 5 is Gen 1-2 levels of pokemon design but, as you said, rose colored glasses are hard to take off.
I don't know what it is about Gen 3 that makes it the weakest. I KNOW it is but I'm not sure why. I guess it's because while it introduced some cool stuff; growing your own berries, natures, and double battles. It's also the reason we have dumb fluff now like pokemon contests and bad guys that try to justify what they're doing. To be fair though, team plasma is the coolest out of the post-team rocket teams yet.
