>>23151003Eh, I liked ORAS.
I really took my time checking everything and I really like how houses' interiors actually look different and some of them are really well done. A small thing but it's nice.
Rival is not non-existant anymore and tries to actually form a bond with the player. Wally was nicely changed as well. Evil teams were amazingly remade (remember all these threads about team magma vs team aqua?).
Sneaking on Pokemon mechanic, while pretty useless for the most part, was a nice addition.
Descreasing encounter rate on water was a brilliant idea.
Having a chance to catch so many legendaries was my kid's dream. Too bad they fucked up with their locations. Everything felt the same.
Hidden bases are amazing now, I actually took my time making mine.
Contest were made piss easy but I don't mind it. They were nicely remade.
The things that really bothered me:
Almost nothing new after beating the game. Delta Episode was okay but nothing spectacular (mainly you had to go from one place to another). Battle Resort was a wasted potential. Instead of copying Battle Maison they could do something new.
Some places feel simply unfinished. New Mauville, Mauville Hills and Sky Pillar for example.
Lack of new themes. Yea, they added some new tracks but 3 towns having the same theme is just retarded.
Bottom line, I enjoyed it but expected a little more.
