>>29250037ORAS is probably a 4/10 game but felt more like a 2/10 when you compare it with the other remakes, FRLG and HGSS. It's just that they had the engine already built for them and all they had to do was create the content, and they failed spectacularly at that. It had the best quality of life improvements to date and it ment nothing because the games were so devoid of content or anything resembling sidequests and postgame.
XY were just 3/10 but there was nothing particularly offensive about them, just terribly terribly bland. Like RB and DP we kind of always expect the first games on an engine to be bad, so they get a pass mostly for that. ORAS was just a smack in the face though.
