>>22687415No, it's just a shitty edit thinly veiling its attempt at defending ORAS.
>contests without the extra fluffYeah great, now it's just pressing buttons on the game every few seconds without paying attention and STILL managing to win. Wow, so much better without fluff.
>but the items can be found without hassle!Missing the point entirely. It's not about the items, it's about having a side minigame to do every once in a while when you're bored. Some of us actually played the game corner *gasp* for the game corner, and not the coins. And I love how it fails to mention the TMs that DO become a hassle to get because of the shitty mirage spots.
>gym leaders about halfway point have become buffedAdding a few levels isn't "buffed" when you're given a fucking exp share and a legendary that you previously couldn't get until AFTER you beat the game and AFTER you hunt it down yourself and WITHOUT the overpowered stone that gives it +100 BST.
>dexnavwoop dee fucking doo, another grinding feature that accomplishes exactly the same thing as breeding except slower. So great, so new!
>better AIThis is pretty blatantly grasping at straws for points to give ORAS. Wow, better AI! That's exactly the same as X and Y! Wow! How does this beat five actual different facilities again?
>damage to the touch screenmaybe if you're a fucking gorilla
>require a guidei.e. encourages you to actually discover shit for yourself by experimenting instead of being a casualized POS in every category like ORAS?
>required grindingMaybe if you're shitty at the game. I never needed to grind in GSC. What you call "poor level scaling" is what I call "having an actual challenge instead of having Pokemon I didn't even use 10 levels over the champion's best Pokemon despite not even using it because of the exp share"
>muh walkingbetter than the non-existent physical accessory with ORAS and having NO chance of getting a rare Pokemon just by walking and doing other stuff.
