>>30929876>>more enjoyable than SMOpinion. This isn't an incentive for everyone. Plenty of people, on this board especially, wanted to be done with ORAS the second they became the champ and finished the Delta Episode.
>>raising exp isn't a complete travestyOnly because of Secret Bases. Without that the game would've been just as shit in this department.
>>contestsk
>>hordes for easy evs, or shiniesI'll give you this one, but SM's already chugging with just 2v2s, so I doubt it was cut for any reason beyond hardware limitations.
>>trainer rematchesI'll give you this one, too.
>>dexnav for easy ivs, hidden abilities and shiniesDefinitely good, but takes a while.
>>things to do in mauville like the food court>Implying there's anything to do in Mauville>>contests and secret basesYou listed both of these already
>>the pss and o-powersI'll agree. Whoever cut these should've been fired.
>>pokemon-amie minigamesDecent diversions but not postgame content. You can 100% them early on.
>>mirage spots>Shitty Streetpass mechanic that relied on more of GF's absolutely wonderful RNG>>super training>Garbage mechanic only useful for resetting EVs or checking EVs while you horde spammed>>fucktons of berries to growLike in every game since, what, Gen 2?
>>a battle facility that doesn't try to completely destroy you from go, even if it is complete fucking bullshit most of the timek
>>important people can be found in places, not really useful but it's funJust like in SM
>>items like evolutionary items other are much easier to getIt's called the Pelago. The ones that are BP-only are admittedly bullshit, though.
>fucking heaps of pokemonYeah there's no real argument for this. Counting Island Scans and Events, there's only about 390 pokemon in the game. Less than half of the national dex.
