ORAS were certainly not perfect, but if there's any aspect of them I hope carry over into Sun and Moon, it's how huge the region felt. After X&Y's linear hallway routes, it felt really refreshing to get gigantic explorable routes. They're way bigger than even their RSE versions and I'm grateful for it, because it feels more like an adventure than any Pokemon game that came before.
In what way are they bigger? Is there added content or does it just feel that way because of the switch to 3D?

The routes were enlarged. If the remake were tile for tile, the routes would still be bigger than X and Y but they wouldn't be /expansive/ like ORAS' were. Take the OP pic, route 114 for example. Running through that in the originals is way faster than running through it in the remakes because the craters and everything were made so much bigger.

They were just about the same size, the crater you posted is a one off that replaces a couple sets of stairs in the cliffs.
I hope we get a region like Johto, with lots of interconnectivity and options dungeons. But we'll probably get the same shit as Kalos because apparently Masuda thinks modern children are retarded.

I hate how everywhere you went in oras there was somebody pointing out exactly where you should go or offering to take you back to a spot. I guess they assumed that no one talks to npcs or has basic reasoning skills anymore.

>how huge the region felt
que? X/Y felt larger.

See, I actually felt like ORAS Hoenn was super small, but I guess that's more because of soaring with Lati@s and seeing the whole damn region right before your eyes -- including individual buildings. If they altered the soaring to make individual buildings indistinguishable, I might feel different. Otherwise, it makes the region seem barely bigger than my neighborhood.

The porting around got to me as well. I came out of lavaridge gym thinking about what i wanted to do before going back to petalburg. Lo and behold may shows up and is like "im going to petalburg wanna come with?"
