>>39452701>You could do contests in RSE on your own time instead of being forced to do so.Contests are still optional, they just give you a reward for doing them.
>Emerald has more major NPC rematches.Not true.
>Collecting basic items isn't much of content.They aren't basic items.
>A waste of everyone's timeYour opinion.
>All pokemon games give you plenty of legendaries to capture.No they don't - see XY, and ORAS added two new dungeons to house some of them.
>ORAS' trick house has less puzzles and less prizes than the trick house in RSEORAS's trick house is more difficult to where the Japs complained it was too hard
>And the weaker gym leaders.Not true, only the first few are lower leveled, the latter half of them are stronger
>And the copious amount of handholding.Eliminating backtracking and giving the player an idea of where to go are not 'handholding' - that's when you're forbidden from going off the path the game has laid out for you, like in HGSS
>And the lack of a game corner.>And the lack of a main game battle facilitiesNobody cared about these
>And the lack of double battles, the best thing Gen 3 was known for.Not true, also ORAS added in triple, rotation, and inverse battles
>>39451938Not going to bother going point-by-point, but you left out contests, secret bases, new dungeons, postgame DexNav Pokemon, for ORAS
>gutted sky pillar just for plot purposesOriginal layout was a series of square rooms with exactly two challenges in them - giving it plot relevance and a new aesthetic is an upgrade
>>39451652>Mirage TowerMeaningless padding, added nothing to the game
>Altering CaveWasn't it never used? Also, aren't mirage spots carrying that idea forward?
