Before I continue my long rant I just want to say
>>36737398 is a shit image which nitpicks too hard and ignores the larger problems with the game, do not pay attention to it. I almost want to say that image was made by a strawman to make ORAS look better.
>>36737330>>36737392>>36737425All Emerald content not mentioned in the last post, excluding engine updates which made it into every generation since Emerald (i.e. breeding changes) was excluded. Battle Frontier is gone as I'm sure you know because it's the first thing everyone mentions, but smaller things lost were the Gym Leader rematches in postgame, Juan appearing at all, the Desert Underpass, the Mirage Tower, the alternate hideout for Magma, and FRLG additions like the Trainer Hill. With the exception of Magma Hideout which would require a tweak to the Delta Episode to work, all of these could be incorporated with zero changes to the story and there is zero reason not to include them besides Game Freak's penchant for laziness. In addition to this, a lot of content that was in Ruby and Sapphire is missing. Game Corner is gone (they didn't even have a Voltorb Flip replacement, they just removed the content with nothing in its place), Granite Cave was gutted, New Mauville was MASSACRED, some Trick Room puzzles were removed, Safari Game was removed, and there were smaller changes on top of these.
I'm not responding to individual replies until I'm done with my giant textwall, but to preempt the argument of "I didn't like that feature so it's good that it's gone with no replacement," don't give Game Freak any more encouragement to be lazy than they already have. Roaming Pokémon, the Safari Game, the Game Corner, etc. all add texture to the game. If you don't find it fun to catch roamers, save your Master Ball for it. If you don't like the Game Corner, buy coins. The majority of Safari 'mons are catchable by other means, and the ones that aren't can be traded. Don't cut content just because it's boring to you.
