What I truly dislike about ORAS isn't any of this.
It's that it took me completely out of the Pokémon universe.
So many lines in game that are direct references to the fan's desires, pop culture...
The sign in the Battle Resort literally says: "hey guys it's GameFreak, we know you wanted the Battle Frontier but fuck you".
The guy with his Flygon literally says: "alright haha, I know you guys really wanted a Mega Flygon so here's a Mega Stone. Haha got you it's for Garchomp, we're clever right? signed masuda btw do not steal".
And then some. And I don't even care about the BF and M-Flygon, it's just that they didn't have to tell us directly in game to fuck off.
It was more or less the same with XY and its NPCs spouting shit memes.
Sure there were the Game Freak employees in all the other games, but it's just one thing, confined into a single room in game.
Here it's fourth wall breaking all over the region.
Completely broke the magic.
