>>58837929Yeah, I get you. I think the main reason why BW was received badly is because there were no old Pokemon until the postgame. Also the fact that a lot of the new mons kinda sucked imo.
But I think BW2 kinda remedied that by including a lot of old mons to the mix, like early game Riolu and Growlithe, etc.
But going back to ORAS, I think if ORAS was planned for Gen 5, it would depend if it was released between BW and BW2, or after BW2. If ORAS had been released AFTER BW2, at the very end of Gen 5, maybe they would had ported the PWT over from BW2 to ORAS? Same way how they ported the Sinnoh Battle Frontier to HGSS in Gen 4. That would have been very cool, admittedly.
On the other hand tho, I honestly hate the Gen 5 moving Pokemon sprites, so I'm kinda glad ORAS happened during Gen 6 instead. Furthermore, things like DexNav and Soaring couldn't have been fully realized on the DS, I think. I imagine the extra power of the 3DS helped with those. Not to mention that in Gen 5 ORAS wouldn't have had Megas, and Megas are one of my favorites things about the game.
So yeah, I think ORAS releasing in Gen 6 was overall a good thing.
