>>35957592I think what brings ORAS down in many people's eyes is how "the journey" through Hoenn itself feels diluted compared to Emerald, despite most of it remaining in tact, or even being better thanks to generational enhancements.
The complaints about New Maulville, the reworked Abandoned Ship, the lack of a Game Corner replacement, the Free Eon Pokemon and Emerald features like Trainer Tower, Mirage Tower, an expanded Safari Zone, Navel Rock/Birth Island, Faraway Island, and the Battle Frontier make it appear lackluster in regards to "the journey".
Aside from above, ORAS are honestly solid games, and that's mostly because of generational enchancements, and one of the best regions in the franchise hold it up.
