>added no new routesBut it added mirage spots and Battle Resort.
>gimped Sky Pillar, Granite Cave, Route 113Route 113 wasn't gimped. Also, ORAS improved Abandoned Ship, Scorched Slab and, arguably, Victory Road.
>came with no physical accessoryPrimals miniatures.
>copy pasta of the Battle TowerMaison has Rotation and Triple battles unlike the Tower. And you get more BPs from Maison.
I could easily produce similar list but make HGSS look worse in comparison. Shit's retarded.
>>36718357I've played Emerald a year ago. It's honestly a godawful experience if you are going for gold medals (which I acquired). Breeding and EV training was a nightmare back in the day and you have limited TMs in Emerald as well.
The thing is, Battle Frontier would be much better now with all the improvements made in recent generations. I don't particularly care about endless battles but I understand why people would care.
