Maybe it's just me, but Gen 6 seemed to be doing great in the "Hype" department for a while. DESU, it could have been the early-game Kanto-pandering making me say this, but I digress. The enjoyment seemed to stay up until the ORAS remakes.
I think what went wrong was that they made ORAS MANDATORY to play if you wanted to stay relevant in the franchise. Exclusive megas, exclusive forms, exclusive features, etc. It was next to impossible to stay in X and Y if you wanted to stay relevant, which is sad. They could have just patched that shit in, but no, they had to just abandon it completely. They couldn't even announce a bridge game that would fix the issues,
Yet...fingers still crossed, but doubts are still high I still prefer X and Y to ORAS. Even though I liked the original hoenn, ORAS just left a bad after taste. I can't really explain why either. I enjoyed playing through it up until the very end-game. Even the Delta episode was a fun sit-through. But post-post game was just...bland.
I'm one of those "Gen-Equalist" fags who thinks the franchise as a whole is great. Each game having their strengths and weaknesses. But ORAS is definitely the one I enjoyed the least.
You know what I think it was? I think it's because it felt "Forced." I.E. everyone was screaming for the remake, it was the RSE's 10th anniversary at the time and they missed it, so they felt bad and rushed out the remake. And it shows. This game doesn't seem to have the passion that the other games did.
