>>22269677I'd wanted ORAS to be either;
1. Ideally (ideal for me, I didn't like Hoenn), something that carries the 'essence' of RS to a new region -- all the legendaries would be there, the wild Pokemon selection would be similar, and the Gym typings would be similar, but you'd get new characters, new teams, and an uncannily similar but 'remixed' story
2. less ideally, a 'sequel' to ORAS similar to what B2W2 were, where you're in the same region and go through about the same thing, but Aqua/Magma have different motivations, some areas are different, and you don't feel like you're really just replaying the same game.
I was actually close in both regards, just completely underwhelmed in the way the games missed both marks I'd hoped for. Que sera sera.
