Was ORAS as bad as everyone says it was?

Everyone who thought it would include Emerald’s story improvements and postgame content

Lack of Battle Frontier sucks, but otherwise I'd say it's worth it.
Also, Zinnia is best girl.

It's fine. People screeched because no Battle Frontier, which is legitimately awful, but every other complaint is minor to the point of not mattering.

Out of remakes i'd say it's the second best after HGSS.
Since the retardation of not using third version as the base for remake is not specific to ORAS sadly.

Out of all 3ds games, its the one I replayed the most. There ARE legit criticisms you can bring up, but the fact it stayed mostly true to the old games, atleast for me, made it fun to play.
Also, one day, our queen WILL return.

It's not the best remake we've had, but it at least tried to innovate with new mechanics and features that set it apart from the original games. All around, it's still a decent playthrough with only the "battle frontier project has started" as a major gripe.

No, not really. The Battle Frontier and trainer customization is just about the only thing missing from the game. If you liked Hoenn, ORAS will probably be fine. It was the first game to really let me experience competitive because I could breed a bunch of 3-5iv mons I found in the wild using the dexnav. Also soaring was great, I really enjoyed it.

The new contests were just "push buttons to win lol" shit you could get over with in an hour when you first visited the city, and they were clearly only in the game because they were in the original.

I would love to ask the devs why they just gave you Lati@s halfway through the game. Same with Lucario in Xy. They were such blatant "push to win" buttons it feels like they hate making video games.

ORAS are the ugliest game in the franchise apart from the open world ones, they are also insultingly easy. Other than being ugly and easy they're ok.

In hindsight, there is one thing ORAS fully missed the opportunity one.

That final battle with Deoxys was such a fitting finale for the rivalry we've seen over and over. But Deoxys is paper, it's no threat even at 80. They should have done what PLA had with Giratina. Boss rush, fight all four formes, one at a time.

It would be rough to force the player to catch Rayquaza, fight Zinnia, and then do a gauntlet trying to catch a pokemon. Remember Deoxys was event only before ORAS. But when GF went the route of "you must catch the box legendary" they should have reworked legendary fights to be something akin to the Let's GO legendary fights.

nothing about the pokemon games has ever been rough except for some unintentionally poor design choices in gens 1 and 2

You get Mega Ray for the fight, so it covers a lot of what damage you previously took. But does need a disclaimer of "can't catch" on Deoxys before its ready. That was an issue with Giratina, battled as if to catch each form before finding it wasn't possible

The game was a huge disappointment. Literally everyone was expecting for the game to be as good as what HGSS was for Johto/Kanto. But they cut back almost everything from Pokemon Emerald, simplified the story and post-game heavily. It only looks better in hindsight because BDSP put in less effort to modernize Sinnoh.

The best part of the game was how they improved Wally's arc
The DexNav was a good feature
And a bunch of other things that XY already accomplished well in 2013, like the 3D map design, online system, or Mega Evolution

how this was different to gen 3 contests, aside making pokeblocks and maxing all five are way more easier

I didn't see any criticism about trivialising EV training in XY

I could forgive a lack of Battle Frontier personally, but a free forced Lati@s and being forcibly teleported around was insulting as a big Hoennfag.

I'd rather just play Emerald.

No. People were so pissed about the BF that it clouded their judgement. And then SM made them regain their senses.
ORAS is a solid Pokemon game and added a shit ton to make Hoenn continue to stand out as the best region in the series. It added a bunch of lore and sidequests that you had to look for instead of expecting it to be shoved down your throat (wont name those specific pokemon fans but they know who they are).
>>53368481
They already have

Making things less tedious is always good i dont give a fuck about difficulty also you're literally not telling the truth

>finally a hoenn game with the Physical/Special split
>megas that beef up the starters and fan favorites
>every gen 1-6 pokemon is obtainable
>Lati@s flying that served as precursor to getting rid of HMs for good
>fun Zinnia sidequest that ends with you getting a Mega Fug and Deoxys
Too bad that lots of faggots sleep on it.
