>>55848300Good things
>can get both bikes>riding mega-lati is fun>more NPCs actually use Megas unlike XY>Secret Bases turned into micro-gyms>Wally is massively improved>Get one more battle against your rival post-credits>Deoxys is able to be acquired without event>Dexnav is best method of chaining in any game. Genuinely feels like an improvement on BW2's HabitatsBad things
>didn't really fix the solo evil team storyline issues from vanilla RS>got rid of roaming Lati and instead just gives it to you in the direct middle of the game in a dumb event that interrupts everything>soulless battle maison replaces soulful Battle Frontier and taunts you about it>Looker is in it just to tease the boring post-game Ultra Beast quest in SM>Sea Mauville is a downgrade compared to the abandoned ship>Archie and Maxie redesigns are downgrades>other than acquiring legendaries Delta Episode sucksOutside of the game mechanic improvements post gen 3 I'd still prefer Emerald over ORAS but ORAS is better than base RS.
