>>39286076I'm not expecting to convince anybody since nobody changes their mind around here, but not adding BF to ORAS is the same thing they've done for every other remake.
FRLG came out before Emerald and just gave you the Battle Tower from Crystal and RS except you can run back down and get healed instead of auto healing between battles.
HGSS is even more similar to ORAS. They copy and pasted the gen 4 battle frontier and made a new set of one line NPCs to encounter.
ORAS takes gen 6's Battle Maison and copies it while adding a new set of generic NPCs and the same Frontier-brain level characters. It also adds the Battle Resort exterior and everything in it in place of Kiloude City from XY, as well as throwing in a offhand remark about Maisons originating in Hoenn or something like that.
>B-But HGSS remade things from Crystal!Like how they made Lyra instead of remaking Kris? HGSS only remakes low-effort cutscenes of Eusine in awe of Suicune, the burned tower scene from Crystal, and the location of the battle tower. Crystal to Emerald is a shit comparison since most of Crystal's new content related to a japan-only phone app rather than the greater amount of content in Emerald. ORAS had references like Battle Frontier's theme for the Maisons, the model outside, the Delta episode referencing Wallace as champion, getting a Johto starter after the Delta episode, and elements of the Delta Episode plot like taking over Mossdeep space center and the focus on Rayquaza. ORAS was more faithful to its third version than HGSS or FRLG(which had nothing from Yellow version unless you count the minigames like Dodrio picking as a Pikachu game reference). Could they have done more? Absolutely. That doesn't mean you can cherrypick ORAS' flaws while ignoring the shortcomings of the other remakes that came before it. ORAS Battle Maison is the same shit they've been doing for every remake, regardless of whether you like the copy-pasted gen 4 battle frontier better.
