We expected a mix of B2W2 with Emerald. We thought they'd actually include the battle frontier. was probably the best part of the old game
>>338110930
the game is 2-EZ
>>338110930
No Battle Frontier for starters. And also not just remaking Emerald instead.

No battle frontier
>mfw battle maison 2.0
>remake of most lackluster gen that started the progressively gimmicky alternate battle types with 2v2 and shitty side content like contests
>does fuck all different while adding in all of the ez mode shit from X/Y and a retarded "chain grind encounters so you can find a shiny/5/6 IV in the wild"
>more mediocre "we can be anime too" story changes
>Mega Fug

>shitting on doubles
Doubles is as balanced as pokemon will ever be. It's the reason why official tourneys allow them and it really cuts out about half the shit smogon bans

guess i was just never meant to enjoy this game

>added nothing to the Battle Masion
>THOSE RETARDED DUNES IN THE BATTLE RESORT
>lots of parts were signifigantly slowed down to unneeded exposition
>added the Dexnav, but didn't balance the game around it.
>Same thing with EXP share
Notice how I didn't once mention the Battle Frontier? Because not including the BF was the least of ORAS' problems.
Nothing.
Anyone who says otherwise is a contrarian faggot.
It had absolutely NO endgame.
Fuck GameFreak for that shit. Why they didnt add the Battle Frontier is seriously beyond me.
Great remake of the OST, though. But yeah. No fucking replayability.
It dropped clothing options. This is a pretty minor complaint, I realize, but it was such a good feature and dropping it was useless.
>people thinking there is no endgame
There are tons of islands to explore, legendaries to catch, a second storyline (even though its poorly done, criticize that for all you like), and instead of the Battle Frontier (RIP) there are frequent themed battle tournaments on Pokemon-GL complete with ladders and statistics, and quite frankly, they are much better. I'd like both, but if I had to choose one, I'd choose the Pokemon-GL every time. I ask the people who complain about the lack of endgame, what would you include in its place? At this point I am convinced people complaining about the lack of the Battle Frontier is a meme.
Many things, which is sad.
-Incredibly hand holding throughout the entire game
-Trainers have low AI and many gym leaders don't even have full move sets
-Even with EXP share off, the game is terribly easy.
-No online Pokemon Contests, which would make the post game stuff way more fun
-Battle Masion AGAIN, and Game Freak teases about Battle Frontier
-Weak post game story with the music being the only good thing
The game could have been a 9/10 if it did 4 simple things:
1. Online Contests
2. Battle Frontier
3. Gym Rematches (with megas)
4. Add a difficulty (gen 5 did that)
>>338111049
All Pokemon Games since HGSS have been short and easy.
>>338113556
But ORAS is even easier, almost insultingly slow.
At least every other game before XY had at least one opponenet who atcually required the use of more than two brain cells to beat.
>No GBA sounds like HGSS had GB sounds
>Can't rechallenge gymleaders like in HGSS
>Wally fucks off and when you rematch that theme doesn't play again
>Fuck all to do after the Delta Episode with no signs of future episodes
At this point I'm just growing berries and doing contests
>rematch with Wally at the Battle Maison
>doesn't play his theme
For what reason?
They remade RS when they should have remade Emerald.
>>338113556
>since HGSS
>>338110930
everything after the GBC era.
>Hoennfags cry for years about how their favorites are the best in the series and won't shut up about getting a remake
>they finally get a remake and it's the worst game in the entire series and now they've been quiet for the past two years
All is right with the world
I honestly cannot name one thing I like about ORAS. I like Hoenn Pokemon but does that really count?
I hate the music, graphics, engine, trainers (specifically gym parties), difficulty, character designs, postgame, etc.
Just play Emerald with a Physical/Special patch, it's a billion times better.

HGSS was the last game with any sort of challenge. After that, everything was handed to you, with features like Exp Share and easy battles defining it.
>>338110930
Sinnohbabbies took over /vp/ and propagated a meme.
In actuality gen 6 is better than gen 4 or 5, but Sinnohfoeti lack the experience to understand why.
>>338114465
HGSS are the easiest games in the franchise, though. Also the worst remakes by far.

A lot of people pointed out what went wrong, but also want to throw in
>Still have frame drops
>Online battles only have one environment to play in
