I really did like it was convenient to not need a flying hm

the idiotic mega evo cutscene for takeoff and landing made it less convenient than sacrificing a moveslot for HM02

the nighttime soaring BGM was unbelievably good considering how abysmal ORAS's soundtrack was though

I did like it. I don’t know why Fly isn’t treated like this every game going forward. Hoenn is the only region fully 3D animated like that and they never did it again. So stupid.

The only bit of soul in a soulless game. You could fly too if you didn't care for it so it literally has no downsides.

Because fast travel was implemented in this series from the start while this implemented almost 20 years later. Couple with the fact there barely shit to do in the sky, and you have a half-assed feature that could've been great.

If you were doing something without a pokemon with fly on your team it was a nice convenience, but other than that the cutscene made it take too long to justify using

it was one of the things ORAS did right actually. That we never got this kind of travel method since just shows that , as always, GameFreak is out of touch and hellbent on reinventing the wheel for every game rather than building from the last iteration.

I honestly have no idea how I feel about ORAS

On one hand I look back on it pretty fondly as the last of the traditional Pokémon games, and on the other it’s marred by removed features that could have genuinely made it one of the best Pokémon games ever made. It’s in this weird in-between space for me

So hypothetically, had it been used in future titles, what would the chosen soaring pokemon have been? Or would they have been lazy and just kept it Latios/Latias and given the feature way too late in the game?

Because Lati used to be difficult to obtain so when you did it filled you with a sense of accomplishment. That sense of accomplishment goes away entirely when the dn this is forced into your hand whether you wanted it or not because GF thinks children are goldfish-brained retards.

That’s not even the issue. In RSE you could only get it postgame. In ORAS you get it before you go to Fortree, and the thing is so powerful the moment you get it you can almost clear the rest of the game with it alone.

Anyone with a shread of dignity puts it in the box immediately after getting it

The Lati chase was genuinely really fun and actually catching your Lati feels like a big achievement. Just handing you the Lati for free makes it just another overpowered giftmon. I really like the soar mechanic but I agree with the other anon that removing the challenge from catching the legendary is equivalent to removing its legendary status entirely.

Yeah but all of those legends were just thrown in for the sake of Pokedex autists, they weren't a part of the original RSE, unlike the Lati hunt. That's like saying it doesn't matter if there's no battle frontier because you can battle people online.
>>46226578
Roamers were a fun concept handled poorly just like every other idea GF has.

Besides spoiling the perceived size of hoenn, it was a lazy excuse to throw legendaries into hoops you soar into and that shows exactly how the developers saw soar: a shitty gimmick to shoehorn legendaries in without the “effort” that Birth Island and Faraway Island events were willing to put up for random legendaries. We went backwards and we had very little to begin with in the way of event legendaries.

Walking back and fourth at a route's border and hoping you get lucky is considered difficult and a "chase"? Not excusing GF's bullshit, but their execution of roaming legendaries is terrible and is only slightly better than just handing you the pokemon.
