>>36737756>They were adaptions of the same eventNo. In Emerald, team magma (including Maxie) tries to steal rocket fuel to blow up the mountain. In the remakes, team admin of EITHER team goes rogue and tries to accomplish completely different goal.
Claiming that these events are the same is ridiculous, even though they happen in the same place and have Steven involved.
>Each battle took place after working your way through several floors of gruntsThis is false. Delta Episode has one horde trainer battle on the first floor and that's it. Emerald storyline has half a dozen grunt battles between two floors.
>I don't see how ORAS' encounter wasn't a boss battle.Because it happens in the middle of the story, uses a simple grunt instead of team's leader and it's much easier than Emerald battle.
>Don't remove things you can ignoreI guess you are right, I don't need TMs like Flamethrower and Psychic (or money if I'm buying coins).
>>36737793>they're available in other Gen 3 gamesGet the fuck out with this argument. If you are going to involve trading then I guess there is no point in discussing Pokemon and item placement. "Just trade it, bro".
>The ones I remember specifically are the Legendary islandsThey are also different from each other. Pic related.
>I trust Masuda and Ohmori's word about as much as I can fucking throw them.This is your fucking problem then. Only because you don't like their design decisions doesn't mean they don't give a shit about the games.
And claiming that remakes were caused by memes is just retarded.
>>36737861>Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have received positive reviews from video game critics>The games sold 3,040,000 copies in their first three days of sale. Of the total sales, 1,534,593 copies were sold in JapanWikipedia.
>Gaming magazine Famitsu gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40Bulbapedia.
Hating Zinnia doesn't mean people disliked the games. Hell, I hate Zinnia and I love ORAS.
