>>57401557>Why not recommend a zoomie play OG gen 3?Because I've read enough to see they prefer ORAS, so why not just play the version you're more likely to enjoy. Nobody really cares if you've played Emerald or not, and playing Emerald's maingame as an adult isn't very rewarding in the first place. Maybe if you've never played it before in your life, for once. But if your expectations for what a Pokemon game should be have been shaped by more modern games anyway, there's a strong possibility you just won't get how the original is preferable unless you try to force it---and for what? To get in with whom? There's no table of patricians awaiting to join and sit at.
>Telling OP to go play the objectively worse remakeMaybe being younger, they'll prefer the ways it did things.
>watch a couple of gameplay clips from Emerald?Yeah; what's the difference.
>The original Hoenn games are really good.Intellectually. Emotionally, I think the evidence lies in the fact its appreciation threads never last nor pop up frequently.
>the rest of the community loves RSEReread what you quoted. "Love" isn't the matter.
>What is he supposed to "gain"?Why play be concerned with whether or not to play them? The question is if they're missing out. The answer is, not really. It's not a game you'll be playing for the rest of your life. Maybe it will change how you think about games, though.
