I'm thinking about picking this up. Is it worth the shekels? Convince or talk me out of it

>>332445736
it's pretty bad, also gen 7 is releasing at the end of this year so you may want to hold out
>>
Grab Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire instead. You'll get more legendaries to catch that you can transfer to Sun/Moon.

Besides, X/Y made mega stones version exclusive, ORAS has every stone available in game.
>>
>>332445736
ignore all the people on /v/

If you play for story, there is something wrong with you

If you play for competitive, there is something wrong with you

If you play for postgame, there is something wrong with you

If you play for fun, buy it.

>playing past first gen

just replay red or blue

>>332446265

Gen 1 has aged like milk. Nostalgia and Pokemon Stadium Compatilbility are the only reason to play it over the remake.
>>
>>332446265
Gen 1 is ass and Pokemon Yellow was the first game I ever played. Not even nostalgia can make those games seem more than decent.
>>
>>332445736
No.
Megas were a mistake.

What makes it bad?

>Grab Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire instead.
I thought about it, but I wasn't all that fond of the originals when I played it and I don't think the remakes would offer enough for me to give it another chance

>>332446265
Replaying Yellow was a pretty good nostalgia trip, but it's time to move forward
>>
>>332446572
Gen 6 was when they tried to balance everything out and really fucked the dog.
They also introduced fairy to counter dragon which was a huge mistake.
Overall gen 6 was a horrible idea

what are you a dragon fucker? They had to be put in check you faggot. You probably fap to Garchomp porn.
>>
>>332446572
fuck these faggots mate

get oras for your dex and ez breeding
get x/y for custom trainer shop and a ton of new shit mons
>>
>>332447123
>he actually likes fairy
They should have just made ice suoer effective against dragon and called it a day.
>>
>>332446868
Well I don't use dragons, so that's not much of a deal breaker for me
>>
>>332447428
Shut up poser, I don't even fucking like Fairies, I'm just saying their balancing is justified.
Also, Ice is already super effective on Dragons so just stop posting any time.

>literally the worst typing for anything to have ever
>>
>>332447623
Exactly that's all they had to do.
You fairy fags are literally cancer.
>>
>>332447892
you clearly never played a competitive pokemon battle in your life because you're talking out of your ass.
Gen 4 and 5 everyone had Salamence and Garchomp on their team and they were pretty much unstoppable because they had access to fire attacks that would rock any Ice type counters.

>>332448412
>playing Pokemon competitively
Let me guess you also think smash is a fighting game?
>>
>>332448514
>resorting to shitposting
I'm not the dumb faggot that tried to trash talk Pokemon's balancing even though he has zero experience in the subject.
>>
>>332446572
>What makes it bad?
It's not "bad" just on the lower end of the Pokemon games. The whole world feels so tame and the story is terrible even by Pokemon standards. Very little postgame and nothing in the world is really interesting other than the main Paris city which is actually pretty damn comfy to skate around in.

Overall it's a 6/10. I'm not sure if it's worth paying full price for but you should be able to get a bit of enjoyment out of it at least.
>>
>>332446572
>What makes it bad?
it feels very rushed. A lot of the game, especially in the second half, feels unfinished. There was a lot of potential that people had hoped would be resolved in a third "Z" version, but then sun and moon happened.
>>
>>332448412
Don't most dragons learn fire moves?
It's kinda like water Pokemon learning ice moves and fucking over grass Pokemon.
>>
>>332449330
yeah i just used these pseudo legendary dragons as an example of them owning the meta in the past.
>>
>>332449661
And Salamance is still uber tier thanks to mega forms.
Coolio.
