From the immensely popular game franchise, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are obviously attempting to replicate the success of 2011's Black and White, which took a well-known brand with no special narrative and crafted a beautiful story around it. Unfortunately, it cannot duplicate that formula very well, and despite fleeting moments of entertainment, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire come across as a playing experience that doesn’t have much to offer – even for kids.
It lacks the creative vision of Pokémon Platinum, and the artistic confidence of the stridently gonzo Pokémon Black 2 and White 2; Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are above and beyond in only one way-- mediocrity.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are a superficially amiable ball of fluff.
It's a product only a marketing division could love, as a simple time-waster is blown up into a too-long-for-its-own-good, too-jejune kid's game full of juvenile writing, an amateurish soundtrack and cheap enjoyment.
All in all, I give this "app"(I refuse to call it a video game) a 2/10.
