For anyone who ever complained about this.
I want you to remember that the original battle mansions in Pokémon Emerald were very repetitive.
Sure, they were unique ways to experience Pokémon battles in a new light, but the experience still boiled down to getting a massive win streak, so you don't have to start from square one.
Instead of creating a possibly frustrating experience for the player for something that probably won't interest them past the first 5 minutes anyway, since they can just play online. The devs instead decided to focus on giving us extra content through all the legendaries and the delta episode.
Not to mention the game itself is compatible with x and y and the game had like 700 Pokémon at the time.
To put it simply, the remakes had way more interesting content than Emerald, and it has the better ost too.
ORAS really was the peak of Pokémon in my opinion, and you cannot change my mind on that.
