In retrospect, this game was not bad at all. Actually, it's probably one of the best in the franchise. It doesn't focus too much on the story like SM does and it has godly features like the DexNav. I started playing a week ago after I finished Sun for the second time, and honestly, I wanted it to never end. It was like a breathe of fresh air after spending so much time with SM. Really! For me, maybe it might surpass HGSS...maybe not, we'll see but for now, I feel like a kid in the candy store..like my childhood came back to me. Flashbacks to my youth of playing nothing but Ruby started flooding in when I explored Route 113. I just wanted to be a kid again, back when Pokemon was still young and fresh! I stayed on the route for 10 minutes doing nothing but taking it all it and man did I cry...not like a fag bawling his eyes out but if you called it "manly tears" it would be just that. You see, I didn't have any friends growing up so playing this game again made the feels resurface. Pokemon was my escape.
ORAS made me remember something very important: I love Pokemon. I love Hoenn. I love RSE. And I love ORAS.
The only people that shit on this game are the Battle Frontierfags and really, you guys need to get over it. No one cares. I don't, /vp/ doesn't, the real fans don't, and most importantly, the real world doesn't. Now I will be listening to route 113 again in game. Adios.

They're better than SM and XY, but still painfully mediocre by the series standards.

Why is it that /vp/ stockholm syndromes itself into liking games they hated before after they get disappointed even more?

Your pretty much as bad as the genwunners. All you talked about was how nostalgic the game was without actually taking about gameplay. People like you should never review games.

if someone makes the point that the music is not great, you cant just say "actually the music is the best." Obviously that is a matter of taste, and shouldnt have been brought up in the first place. Included features in a game are NOT a matter of taste, and a game can be judged based on its features and how they are executed.

Your whole argument boils down to "RSE was good" but you say nothing of ORAS itself. Also, your closing point can be summed up as "I don't need anything else and you shouldn't either."

You and people like you are the reason there has been a dearth of content in the last three Pokemon games. You don't ask for anything more than a bare-bones Pokemon experience, and Gamefreak is happy to oblige. Why would they go out of their way to add postagme features like they did in HGSS, BW2, or RSE (which you claim to love so much) if you're happy with less?

I am happy for you that you are so easily satisfied, but you must understand that many other people are not.

This has to be a troll. Aside from the other poster literally stating in his post his complaints for ORAS, the reasons everyone hates ORAS have been beaten into the ground at this point.
>>
>>32480450
ORAS does got A LOT OF CONTENT. ORAS being content lacking is nothing but a meme.

Battle Maison, Contests, Super expanded Secret Bases, DexNav Chaining, Soaring to secret islands, Battle Tests, Pokemon Amie, Super Training games, Trainers Eye with better rosters, Mauville Food Court, Delta Episode, and more...

You can have the rest of those, but don't tell anybody here that the Battle Maison was ANYTHING except a lazy half assed move by the creators because they wanted to get the games out quicker rather than actually spending time making the battle frontier or hell even something like the battle tree.

>>32480511
>Battle Maison
>Pokemon Amie, Super Training games
>Mauville Food Court
Those were all available in XY though, and XY even did the food court stuff better.

>Contests
Sorry but I enjoy using my Pokemon for their intended purposes, especially my Mega Lucario.. Oh, wait. Literally every other mega stone in the game is handed to you in one way or another. Why are Lucario and Garchomp locked behind these "gameplay rewards" walls? Contests are not fun and it shouldn't take hours of grinding to capture 1,000 fucking flags for a mega stone.

Secret Bases and DexNav are absolutely an improvement, I'll give you that. Excellent features and I hope to see them return. Trainer's Eyes is an okay feature but there's no point to battling other trainers again with the plethora of Blissey Bases. By the time you're finished grinding up a shit ton of levels for evolutions or moves, the Pokemon will be strong enough to go deal with the Elite Four more than likely, at least up until the day rolls over and you can use your Blissey Bases again. Soaring was arguably a gimmick but it was a useful one in the sense that you didn't need Fly anymore and could visit cool places, along with basically being your ride to the "Friend Safari" from XY if you will. Locations with 1~3 wild Pokemon per island.

>Battle Tests
Don't even remember what that is to be completely honest.

>Delta Episode
I'll give you that one as well. Legit post-game content and the ability to catch Deoxys in-game instead of waiting for a giveaway like every game prior, bar Pokemon Bank.

>and more
Such as? That's kind of it, and quite a bit of it is just menu surfing.

tldr only half of your points stand up.
>>
>>32480237
Story focus was not one of the reasons why SM is bad. ORAS is pretty much the worst entry in the series, maybe tied with XY.
Gen 6 was a mistake.
>>
>>32480249
Not true. Pokemon as a series isn't like this amazing work of art. Aside from Emerald, Platinum, and ORAS, the series is just kind
>>32480582
This isn't true either. R/S are one of the better dual games and ORAS is the best remake. Sun/Moon are interactive movies and XY is just mediocre. Hoenn is one of the best regions.
>>
>>32480582
Hoenn is probably the best region in the games my dude.

>>32480237
Hoenn has the heaviest emphasis on exploration, more than any other region in the series. That is why I think it's the best.

But that's an opinion. And it's also an opinion when people shit on them. Something subjective.

What ISN'T subjective, however, is it's success. Hoenn is the most successful Pokemon remake, and that's a fact. Not only are they the best selling remakes, but they accomplished that while being on a less popular system than HG/SS and FRLG. Not to mention, the original R/S didn't sell as much as the original R/B and G/S.

This probably burns Hoenn Haters up, because they know they can't refute this.
>>
>>32482729
You can always just say that popularity isn't an indication of how good something is.
>>
I liked the level progression in ORAS. If you didn't use the experience share you were always right at the level of the gyms and stuff.
>>
>>32482760
I already mentioned that thinking ORAS (or any game for that matter) is bad or good is a person's subjective opinion. I feel like Nintendo and Game Freak would disagree with you though. They're businesses. Businesses want money. So obviously, they're going to favor the games that are the most successful. Why else do you think Nintendo cranks out Mario games several times a year, yet F-Zero hasn't gotten one in years.

That's because gen 3 had a generally forgiving level curve that wasn't GSC-tier boring

I was gonna reply seriously, but then I caught the trap just in time.

>>32480450
This. People who like ORAS are coming from the headspace that the entire fanbase is fine with the games because they are, and anything that is missing must have been bad to everyone.

Don't be an idiot. I miss Gym Leader matches, but I'm not going to pretend like ORAS is the series' equivalent to Sonic 06 just because they're absent.

Pokemon doesn't have a Sonic '06 equivalent in all honesty

>>32480567
We reached Gen7 endgame is what happened.

SM is great until you realize it has worse endgame than gen6. Even replaying it is apparantly a pain with so much dialogue.

I played in Japanese and it was harder than a visual novel, especially since theres no voice acting and no scrolling back to see what text you missed.

I love SM but it's an RPG first and a monster battling game second. I'm dying for the next game so I can never go back to that plaza(one of the worst endgames in the series).

The games are also slow as hell on original 3ds, dunno about new 3ds. It needs a Stars badly.
