People would probably be less pissed about no Battle Frontier if the game didn't rub it in their faces. I firmly believe that

was the moment /vp/ died inside.
I'll admit that I enjoyed playing through Alpha Sapphire. Dexnav was a great addition, and I liked the new characterization that Team Aqua and Magma received.
The problem with ORAS is that in many ways it fails as a remake. No New Mauville, no replacement for the Game Corner (doesn't even have to be Voltorb Flip, you know), less Trick House puzzles than in the original, no gym leader rematches, little correction to the Aqua/Magma roster and teams (Wow, Grimer and Koffing!), no wi-fi contests.
Gamefreak has outright said that only a year of real game development was put into ORAS, and it shows. After years of trumpets and HOENN CONFIRMED memeing, it just didn't live up to expectations like HGSS did.
Also, Zinnia is possibly the most hated character in the entire franchise. Nice design though. More squandered potential.
