tl;dr but relevant.
also spoilers because I'm feeling nice and I don't wanna spoil anything for people who haven't beaten the game yet.
Draconid? Infinite Energy? What does that shit even mean? These spontaneously invented vocabulary terms are explained with half-assed dialogue so vague that it makes no sense (and that’s saying something considering this game is about ten year olds that train and capture monster animals and pit them against each other in glorified cockfights). It was so out of left field that most of the time I felt like I was playing a bad fanficiton romhack, honestly.
This was a really bad last minute tie-in with XY’s already bad plot. ORAS didn’t really need it at all. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the way it ended — with a battle against Rayquaza, Zinnia and then Deoxys — but holy shit I am irrationally bothered by the forced shipping scene with May/Brendan at the very end. It was stupid with Shauna in XY and it’s even more cringeworthy in ORAS. I dunno. Keep that shit to the fanbase, Gamefreak. Don’t imply that my self-insert character is super attached to a character I don’t give two fucks about.
All that hype for a meteor shower I didn't even get to see. But instead I was "rewarded" with more me/May shipping I don't give a fuck about… and it was indoors so THEY didn't even fucking watch the meteor shower
Let's just say I'm glad it's over and I can finally have access to Battle Islands.
