ORAS tried to emulate the "layered" technique that the original games used for the illusion of raised ground, but it looks very poor. A lot of 2D games cleverly used this technique, but it's not necessary in a 3D environment and as a result it looks terrible. What they should have done was just model the landscapes from the ground up, like they did later in SM. Another similar nitpick is how they didn't change the ponds that had square, 90 degree angles and such. Again, this would be fine for a 15 year old GBA game, but it's not acceptable for a modern 3DS game.
Also the game was way too easy. Everything just felt lazy in general.
