>>46149349yes, though I don't think ORAS is necessarily bad, Emerald, like most of the middle/secondary titles, fully realizes the intent of the initial 2 games that precede it, which usually end up feeling like prototype versions in comparison. ORAS does not really improve upon RS, it remakes them with the current pokemon features(xy era). The amount of time that has elapsed between it and the originals muddles the core inspirations. It doesn't really come off like an improved game, more like a different interpretation.
Feel like I'm dissing it a lot here, I still had a lot of fun with ORAS, it was cool to see Hoenn in 3d and I know people bitch about getting handed a legendary but flying on latios/latias was pretty damn awesome.
I'd probably rank them Emerald>ORAS=RS.
