ORAS are one of my top 3 favorite Pokemon games of all time (along with HGSS and I guess BW2). I would choose ORAS over Emerald any day of the week.
I like XY very much. The games feel unfinished at certain times (inaccessible Rhyhorn race, bike race track with no purpose, closed Power Plant doors etc.) but they're still very enjoyable and I've replayed my X version at least three times without getting bored. Playing XY for the first time was some of the most fun times I've had with Pokemon.
Even though I like BW2 a lot, I think this board gives these games too much credit, hailing them as the absolute peak and unrivaled masterpiece of the series. When talking about literally any other Pokemon games, /vp/ focuses mostly on the negative aspects and nitpicks about a bunch of insignificant stuff. When talking about BW2 however, all flaws are conveniently forgotten, even though Gen V as a whole was guilty of many things (beginning of casualization with Gym Leaders having not more than three Pokemon and Elite Four members having four, pixelated sprites, linear region, handholding in general, bad rivals, awful season system that forced you to wait a couple of MONTHS to reach certain areas and so on).
If we're looking at the games at the time of their release, I think Gen II was the best.
