>>246754436th Gen sucks all around for general jrpg purposes. Story sucks in both games. You choosing between crap and shit. If you're into cart competitive, it is recommended to get the latest game because GF/Nintendo favors those games with updates/new features/etc. Here's a quick breakdown:
>XY: visit the new Kalos region+ introduces mega evolutions
+ very large Kalos Pokedex of ~450 different Pokemon
+ waifus and husbandus for one and all
+ you get rollerskates
+ has a nice little side quest postgame
+ game is an homage to original Kanto region
- game is an homage to original Kanto region
- game pacing escalates extremely quickly after a certain point in the game
- do you like Lucario? It is GF's imperative that you will
- there are only ~70 new species of Pokemon (we usually receive upwards of ~100-130+ new species)
>ORAS: revisit the Hoenn region from RS+ new mega evolutions that are unavailable in XY
+/- Pokedex remains largely the same from the original RS
+ Pokedex UI/bottom screen has more options than XY
+ even more waifus and husbandus
+ you can sneak walk really slowly (no rollerskates)
+ new postgame plot after you "beat" the game
- unlike past remakes, minimal content is used from Emerald. Whereas HGSS incorporated Crystal's subplot heavily and replaced the Game Corner with a minigame. Here are some common complaints:
- no game corner
- no battle frontier (only copy/pasted Battle Maison from XY)
- (arguably) lowered difficulty. especially apparent in early game.
- forced scenes that were not present in the original games
- do you like Lucario? no? Okay take this Latios/Latias instead.
+ Flannery best girl
