Unironically not that bad, although I admit that it served as a prelude to the decline of the franchise in terms of quality.The gimmicks were nice, the meta pre-Bank extremely interesting and fun and the region was great. While there was only a mediocre post-game, the games are fun to replay in challenge runs and shiny hunting and breeding were nice as well

unironically the best 3D game we got.
>faithful remake of ruby and sapphire>added a completely new post-game story>added DexNav>added soaringetc. I see that many features of Emerald were not included, but it doesn't it justifies a below-average rating, even though it had a lot of things going on for itself.

The decline began here, in my humble opinion. The games looked very nice, but they were essentially the first corridor and textbox simulator we got. The Z-moves were broken in the meta while the story itself was such an unbelievable slog that it drastically reduces the replay value. I had my fun playing this game, but I have no interest in replaying it.

ULTRA CHANGES. Little to no improvements outside of fixing the SOS shiny hunting mechanic and adding the legendaries to destroy the meta. Since I'm autistic and shiny hunt, I am sometimes finding myself playing these games for some quick SOS hunts, but I wouldn't replay these games either.

>Nice visuals and graphics.-
>removed held items>removed abilities>removed wild battles>enforced the exp share>no real post-game>removed most Pokémon for the KANTOOOOO experience>introduced the DLCs through the $50 Mewand more
These games were objectively worse than the next entry which would have been the worst if not for LGPE.

I don't need to regurgitate everything that has been said towards these games so far. Shitty visuals, shitty gimmicks, shitty plot, shitty post-game, shitty difficulty, etc.
