>>48892062>zero connections storywise to the base gamesYou mean that unnecessarily forced alternate universe bullshit? Good, glad games can just exist. I hate when writers feel like they have to try way too hard to justify something existing when literally no one is thinking that deep about it.
>first remake to use new EXP systemORAS had it too, you just could turn it off in those games
>First game after Crystal to introduce no new Pokemon or formsDeoxys doesn't count. I am not sure what you are talking about with Crystal and I can't find anything through searching. I don't think such a detail really matters much. It's obscure and unnecessary.
>no new battle mechanicsGood, get rid of those shitty gimmicks
>No new abilitiesAgain not necessary anyway
