>>22497362I'm not lying...OR/AS has more opportunities to fully heal your pokemon when you aren't in a pokecenter (and sometimes it isn't even optional, like when your rival does it near the route with the ashes, which was NOT in the original).
Your rivals offer to magically teleport you halfway across the region conveniently so you don't need to bother traveling yourself.
You have all these things like Super Training and Amie that can give you major advantages (and yes I know these are optional like the Exp Share but they WERE NOT in the originals).
They discourage exploration by making it much more obvious where you need to go to progress the story.
There's probably more shit I'm forgetting but those are the big ones.
I know someone is going to make the argument that it doesn't matter because most of it is optional but that's like saying "So what if Call Of Duty is too easy? Just stop using guns and only play with a knife and a smoke grenade!"
