ORAS is easily the best 3D game so far >great region >good postgame (delta episode, battle maison, contests, a million legendaries and soaring-exclusive areas, mega stone collecting) >in-game loop for breeding right next to the day care >PSS >Soaring is a great mechanic that should be in more games >Dexnav is a great mechanic that actually encourages dex completion and pokemon exploration in-game >trainer rematches >catchable Deoxys with an actual event >great music >expanded regional dex, but you also get the national dex before the E4 and the map updates its pokemon distribution to account for it >MUH battle frontier >MUH Zinnia >MUH game corner >MUH safari zone >MUH Latios >MUH cringe rival romance >MUH Emerald improvements

>>43226479 Yeah, it's dogshit and it's not even an attempt at making an original region with new characters and Pokemon. It's just as dogshit while also having a perfect base to copy and iterate upon. All they had to do is improve on Emerald or at least make something on par with a game that came out 10 years before just like they did when they made HGSS and of course they couldn't even do that. ORAS is the worst game in the series.

>>43226502 Your argument is that it's bad and worse than Emerald. How does that equate to the worst game in the series? Most Pokemon games are worse than Emerald

>>43226505 That's not the argument at all. A game that's worse than Emerald is a completely different thing than "worse Emerald". ORAS is the same as if Pearl and Diamond came out 10 years after Platinum.

>>43226533 ORAS in particular is just an eyesore all around. XY was at least cute.

>>43226335 I agree. I would say it’s my favorite and most played 3DS game. ORAS > USUM > SM = XY
There was a lot I wish it could have done better even with all it left out from emerald, but it’s the game I spent the most time with on my 3DS.

>>43226538 I can appreciate how XY tried to use the jump to 3D, it did look pretty at first but revisiting it it’s honestly an ugly pixelated mess. Not sure if it looks better in Citra with graphic mods though. ORAS might look a little bland cause it’s 1:1 with gen 3 but the visuals are cleaner and more efficient.

>>43226645 Nah, ORAS looks pretty clean since it's just sticking to remaking the RSE map in 3D. XY goes for extravagant angles and huge buildings and ends up looking like shit as a result

>>43226742 Yeah, you're not proving your point at all. XY looks like absolute shit

>>43226760 What are you proving? That looks fine to me. Perhaps you're fooled by XY's use of curves and slopes and more extravagant angles, but the graphics aren't different from ORAS
Anonymous
>>43226770 >natural curves and slopes as opposed to the layered style with jarring repeated textures Yes, The graphics are different and ORAS looks awful.

>>43226781 So your problem is with the map design, not the graphics.

>>43226335 Really says a lot when the best is a remake that can't even replace Emerald
Anonymous
>>43226786 Not really, the extremely poor textures and layered environments style don't affect the map in any way other than how it looks compared to XY.
XY just has better and way more detailed and way more varied environments, as proven from the first post I made
>>43226538 Anonymous
>>43226812 Your first post doesn't prove shit other than the fact that XY looks like a pixelated mess. I can't believe you honestly think that looks good just because ORAS has less detail
Anonymous
>>43226827 XY doesn't look good, it's pretty shit graphically. It's just way better to look at than ORAS.
If anything your argument about XY being a pixelated mess is retarded as the resolution is the same in both games.

>>43226907 Don't see anything wrong with that. How does that not look clean and polished? It lacks detail but precisely because of that, it doesn't look like a mess. Are you perhaps autistic by any chance?
