Done a redo of the entirety of both Team Magma & Team Aqua for ORAS. The idea is that the battles with boss characters are more frequent and there's more variety. Those 5 Magma/Aqua Grunts are engaged four times and their teams actually vary from the initial set of 5 Poochyena to a Mightyena, two Weezing/Muk and two Camerupt/Sharpedo.
For Courtney & Shelly I gave them the Zangoose-Seviper pairing as well as Absol to be a more gameplay orientated hint that Team Magma & Aqua's plans are dangerous. Both admins on each team also use an old Pokemon (Torkoal or Relicanth) in their battles. You may also note that the team leaders now have full teams of six with a fossil Pokemon and a Fire or Water type that they share with Tabitha/Matt.
I think the major distinction however is Butler on Team Magma & Zinnia on Team Aqua. I was thinking about this and think it would be cool if instead of the Delta Episode being what it was trying to cram plot elements of Emerald in such a way that they didn't work instead you could have one post-game story in OR focused around Butler and the player can catch Jirachi while in AS it'd focus around Zinnia and Deoxys. Or just have both games have both post-games would work. Regardless both Team Leaders include a member of Butler/Zinnia's team in their own.
