Well well well, what do you know. OP's a faggot.
I know we just had one not too long ago, but fuck it, these are the best gosh darn Pokemon games since Platinum. I think the thing I like most about these games is that they brought exploration and player freedom back to the series, which are two things that went missing with BW. There are so many optional routes to explore and the routes themselves are packed with hidden areas. Better yet, unlike in XY and SM, your "friends" aren't dickriding you constantly but rather show up every so often to keep you on your toes. They're also a lot less linear than the others. For example, when you reach Mauville, the game doesn't force you to take on Wattson right away. You can travel west to Verdanturf, east to the shore of Route 118, north to the Winstrate's, or south on Cycling Road. If this was SM, there would be some jackass on a Stoutland blocking your path until you clear Wattson's gym.
The music is great, and not just the remastered songs. Arguably the best trainer theme in the series wasn't even in the original games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIn8_Q27WFY
Although they dissapointed me with the lack of Emerald features, when I put my biases aside and take ORAS for what they are, they're right up there as a contender for GOTY 2014, which was a year with other beloved games like Smash 4, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, and Shovel Knight
Oh yeah and best girl May is back.
>>33259429
ORAS May looks cute in-game in her sprite and I love how her rivalry with Brendan is so much better than the original R/S. The implied romance/shipping and the fact that you actually battle her again after the end credits with a full team was fantastic.
>>33259462
Agreed. It's a little thing, but I felt liked I'd been waiting 12 years for that battle.
>>33259487
They did a much better job with both May and Wally in ORAS. The original R/S handled the rivals so poorly, I'm glad how much they fixed them.
They also handled Steven a lot better as well.

Vermillion Gym Leader Ryuki
I dont mean to get anyone excited or anything but that layout of the gym is the exact same as Vermilion gym, down to exactly where the trainers are standing to the bins.
>>33321258
So? All that means is thay they copy/pasted it like they did with Viridian Forest in X&Y.
>>33321258
