>>33105727ORAS felt like an inferior version of RS to me. Catching the other region Legendaries was made in the laziest way possible. The game was easier than RS (even without EXP Share and Amie), and RS was easier than Emerald, so do the math. They tried to make a "deeper" narrative, but they fucked up by filling it with bs (example, the long ass cutscene after catching Groudon/Kyogre... try soft reseting for a good nature in that one).
The Delta Episode was the worst postgame mission in the entirity of the series, and it mostly felt like a way of saying "No battle Frontier because we are too lazy, pls don't hate us". The Battle Maison is the most boring postgame facility in the series, and they brougth it again. ¿Remember when in RS you could skip certain gyms for latter? Not anymore. Probably the best thing about ORAS was the battle music.
I always recommend the remakes over the originals, but in this case, I advice everyone to STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ORAS
SM were harder than both 6th gen games, but still didn't felt that challenging. The distribution of the Pokemon is complete ass, and once again, Gamefreak doesn't know how to tell a story.
SM is a decent story, with good characters, but ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE excecution
Remember the "Show, Don't Tell" thing? GF doesn't
