True enough, true enough! Emerald adds things on top of RS, ORAS at its best is more horizontal hindsight with the story and improving the original features. I like ORAS too, they were my return to the series and most of what they did was good. 3D Hoenn with modern mechanics. Huzzah. (Mod the hell out of it!) The anger and mental gymnastics these games induce here is sad to look at all around.
But the problem is that Generation 6 set some BAD precedents, ones that Sun and Moon seem to have stayed the course on, that even I can recognize supersede whether or not we enjoyed the individual games. Even if we put ORAS mostly in a vaccum, I cannot say that their all but ignoring Emerald (this one from one who wasn't expecting ALL of Emerald's stuff to begin with!) and thus denying Gen 6 as a whole of a meatier title than is a-okay. I would lying and ignoring what these games, with all reasonable precedent, could have been. At their best with things like base building and Deoxys we totally see it, but for whatever mix of time and effort we only got some of it.
