>Emerald but with shittier gym fights, little to no postgame, and no battle frontier
They're probably some of the least jacked up first versions in the series but there's still no real reason to play them over Emerald.

The only thing RS have over E is that Pickup is broken and you can get crazy rare stuff from early game Zigzagoon.

ruby > emerald > sapphire
Sapphire's plot made no sense (team aqua was retarded) and emerald's was a mess. Emerald did good in adding morw double battles (should be the standard by now) but completely botchered the two most intense fights in the game (wally at victory road and champion steven -wallace was a joke). The battle frontier was an okay idea but terribly executed: it didn't test how good a trainer you are, but how lucky you can get against RNG that's set to screw you over.

Ruby might have had a lesser amount of raw content than emerald, but in terms of a meaningful pokemon experience it was the superior game.

No. Only area you can argue is the champion, and even then, you get a super charged Steven compared to his RS self.

Man, RS Brendan's outfit always fucks me up. If you dress like that in a tropical place like Hoenn you're gonna die of heatstroke.
At least in Emerald he has a short sleeved shirt

Yeah, nah. Wally isn’t intense at all and Steven is a pushover. Wallace is more difficult as a champion, redundancy be damned, and Pokemon plots should only negatively impact the game if it constantly interrupts gameplay. RNG plays a role in literally every post game facility so the point is moot.

tldr you’re a contrarian

Honestly, I agree with that. ORAS removed the best thing about RS, the seamless overworld.
You can run straight from Fortree City to Ever Grande without hitting a single gate or stopping if you wanted to. Its an unappreciated feature that makes the games feel a lot smoother.

In comparison, ORAS feels kind of noticeably blocky, since the map has to be cut up into squares. Its especially noticeable in the water routes from Mossdeep and onwards, since before you surf pretty much anywhere, but in ORAS you have to go through a "gate" in the water to navigate to the next chunk of surfable water.

Technically they are because Ruby and Sapphire are the base games and Emerald is just an extension of that.

Team Magma is even more retarded. There's actual proof that humans can live in a world of only water but there's no proof that humans can live in a world without water. Although both outcomes would kill a lot of Pokemon.

Good thing they didn't want to get rid of water huh. Also pacifidlog relies on the mainland and would also quickly be destroyed if even the smallest of storms went near it.

They didn't want to remove all water, they wanted to make more land for people to live on, not sure how you got the idea that they wanted to remove all of it.

I'm guessing he thinks the only way to do so is removing water instead of using magma to do so.

Pros:The original protagonists designs fit better, Steven as the champion.
Cons: No sprite animations (a backwards step at the time), the original plot could be even more inspired by ecoterrorism and climate change than emerald, no battle frontier/battle tents/trainer hill and other new areas, berry glitch, small and lacking safari zone and finally a thing both entries completely failed at, no day-night cycle.

The only things it does better is having Steven as the champion and leaving the bike challenge in the Sky Tower.
