>>24979176>>I'd rather play a game in Essentials than as a romhackI've literally never heard anyone say this. I've heard someone who'd rather make an Essentials game than a ROMhack, but if they don't prefer ROMhacks they're indifferent to what they play.
>>24979203>WHICH IS WHAT IT WAS A FUCKING REMAKE OF AND NOT EMERALDJust because they chose that detail—and then didn't even hold true to it because there's a lot of shit they changed or removed from RS, like Mauville, and New Mauville, and the Game Corner, and the Safari Zone—doesn't mean it's suddenly free from criticism. Making it an RS remake instead of an Emerald remake that uses RS' plot and wild distribution is a fucking retarded move, there's no reason to use the inferior games as a base, especially when HGSS did things right (not perfect, since I acknowledge GSC has flaws that weren't corrected, but much better than ORAS).
