>>36579645>Emerald+Way better post-game
+More challenging main game (for the most part)
+Can get entire legendary trio
+Ability to choose your Lati@s was nice
-Too bad it sucks because lol Roaming bug
-The ability to get Rayquaza pre-E4 is really fucking dumb
-Story feels bloated because they took a story arc that was meant for one evil team and tried to shove both evil teams in, meaning no one got the development they deserve
>ORAS+New battle mechanics (Physical Special split is really, really nice)
+Better secret bases thanks to online play
+More diverse selection of Pokemon
+Actually manages to make me care about Team Aqua and Magma, who were by far the worst evil team in their debut games
+Flying is far more flexible and surfing is faster
+Rival was handled much better
-Getting Lati@s for free was really stupid
-Everything feels really casualized
+Though the game letting you basically skip to certain locations to avoid that obnoxious backtracking was nice
-Cutscenes slow down the pace of the game
-Episode Delta could have been much better
-Navigating indoors felt really awkward for some reason
>>36580012Honestly, the quality of every remake has hinged heavily on what came before it that gen.
FRLG sucked because all it had to steal from was RS, which itself had a shit endgame.
HGSS was amazing because it was able to borrow Plat's BF
ORAS was stuck with the shitty XY endgame.
