>>26841046It was a massively disappointing experience for me, yes. HGSS were fantastic games, and even FRLG were pretty good
I did a speedrun of it and then lost the game when I was a kid so I unfortunately didn't get to enjoy all of the new amenities, but ORAS just felt like they took the game, made it in 3D, and then tacked some DEEPEST LORE onto the end of it. I GUESS you could argue that it's a true remake, since they didn't add much that wasn't in the original games, but I was going based on what I saw in FRLG and HGSS, which was cool new added content, and I didn't get that. Despite its shortcomings in new content, I still would have bought it just so I could stay in the competitive scene, but then The Pokemon Company went and lost their fucking minds and just decided to allow EVERY cover legendary compete AND they still didn't ban Dark Void, so the meta is just no fun (for me) right now. Had I known then what I know now, I would not have bought the games.
tl;dr: I do not like ORAS very much.
