>>32941858Now with Gen VI, XY comes out and has the barest minimum for post-game. There's a Battle Tower equivalent with the Battle Maison, the looker sidequest, a couple legendaries, and not much more. It's actually had a bit less to do post-game than DP and BW had, only really beating out RBY and RS. People hope that we'll get an expanded version, possibly called Z, that will massively improve on the post-game and the battle facilities, just like Emerald, Platinum, and B2W2 did. But the next game announced is ORAS.
So ORAS now has two different expectations going for it. People expect it to have everything important that Emerald had and more, just like HGSS did with Crystal, and people expect it to have more content than XY did. And what do we get? ORAS has almost nothing from Emerald in it. None of the story changed, none of the few extra areas, no Battle Frontier, no Gym Leader rematches, not even the Leader's improved Emerald teams. And the post-game Battle Facilty is just XY's Battle Maison again, copy and pasted with barely any change. ORAS failed on two different fronts. It didn't have everything people wanted out of a remake - it's got more content than RS sure, but it doesn't have what Emerald had. And it didn't improve enough over what XY had.
And that's why people always complain about the Battle Frontier. Because if ORAS had that it would have solved both problems at once. ORAS would now have the biggest extra feature that Emerald had, and its battle facilities would be a huge improvement over what XY had.
