Reminiscing about Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Favorite Pokemon from gen 3 (or anything about the game honestly)?

Booted up my old copy of the game recently and the nostalgia hit very, VERY hard. Right now I'm running Blaziken. As the memories flow back, I thought I'd bring y'all back down memory lane as well. What was your starter pick? Did anyone actually catch Feebas legitimately? WHo was your favorite gym leader?
