>>37333185ORAS were the writing on the wall, but they were stagnation; I don't think anyone expected Game Freak to actually make RBY 2018. (A concept I think is kind of cool as an experiment, but not like this)
>>37333221Omega and Alpha had a fantastic feature set that almost make the games feel bigger than actually art, possibly the best the series. But being so easy, having only the prior year's Maison and Test for battling left, and Hoenn's being roughly 1:1 to originals (arbitrary perhaps to make this a bigger issue with a 3D remake but holy cow if any region could fleshed out in all directions...), left very little to actually put them to use with. Why not both?
