I for the most part skipped gen 3, it was at a point between playing my brother's pokemon games after he stopped liking it and before I had fully gotten up to date with the new stuff coming out.
I still haven't played ORAS, I have a copy of AS that a friend gave me but I just can't seem to play it, it's boring /vp/
why is there so much hype around hoenn? and should i actually give these games a chance?

If you have the game, then play it. I feel like Hoenn was really where "modern" Pokemon games tend to take their inspiration from. It's like the template all future gens used.

Emerald has a better feel and flow, the overworld in ORAS is extremely blocky, it was perfect for the GBA, but horrendous in the 3DS, they could have worked more in it.
OP here, is it good though? Like it's pretty slow to start but if it picks up I'll play it. I think I went to like the third gym and have yet to be impressed

ORAS doesn't pick up at all, no. It's easy as hell. The 7th gym has two Pokemon.

And 6th one has 4 while 8th one has 5
besides sun and moon seems to be as easy if not easier so get used to it
>>29155302
Play Emerald.

but... but... i don't wanna

It's a pretty vanilla pokemon game, you walk around collecting badges and catching new pokemon, that's it. It's based in a old game so it's less flashy.
Things that it intruced in the past (like double battles, abilities, contest, etc) you already know from later games, so it makes it less impressive than at the time, keep that in mind.

How could you say it's boring if you haven't played it?
>>29155483
see
>>29155302
I played up until the third gym and it's been boring so far

Just play a good Pokemon game like BW instead.

They are confirmed harder than gen 6
Hoenn had the best starters design wise.

Dont make laugh. Gamexplain said the game is easy and NintendoLife got into the trial and said it was no problem at all
