So I understand people shoot down getting your jet dragon early because the stupid kids are going to wreck fools with it and ruin the fun, but I was just happy to not have to chase them again. I have my Master Ball Latios from Ruby already!
I liked Ruby and Sapphire as they were and don't mind the cuts considering how minor they are ("People liked New Mauville?"), so the games really couldn't miss for me. But diving could have been a gaggle of new dungeons with little effort and hoo boy did that difficulty curve need another look; the Elite 4 are fine (Mega Metagross is brutal if you aren't using Megas or the cover Legend) and occasionally new toys help the AI (Volt Switching Wattson and Roosting Altarias), but I was afraid of new mechanics would dampen the game and I was largely right.
>>34984659I was never taken with how ORAS did the League itself, the Japanese temple aesthetic comes out of nowhere, but is the rotation gimmick really an improvement?
