I really have bittersweet memories of OR/AS, probably the last time I had genuine fun with a new Pokémon release but going into the latter half of the game and realising how bad they botched it all really turned me off from new games in the series and made it clear that the 2D era in terms of design philsophy was never coming back
I could have forgiven the blunders with shit like ruining map flow, mangling the dungeons, throwing crap like a free Lati@s at the player, etc. if they had the Frontier and Gym Leader rematches but nope, fucking EVERYTHING from Emerald except Wallace's team was ignored
That being said at least my bro got to cement itself as the best Pokémon of all time both visually and competitively. So there's that
