How come I don't feel any nostalgia playing these games? My first ever region was Hoenn and it's the reason why I grew loving Pokemon but how come I don't feel any connection to the remakes at all, no matter how hard I try? I want to feel like I'm playing the original Ruby and Sapphire and trying to imagine it in just an updated version but it just won't work. I don't feel anything at all. It's like I'm playing a completely different game and it makes me fucking sad. Is it because the drastic change from 2d pixels to 3d? If the Hoenn games were remaked during Gen 5 then probably I still would feel a little nostalgic playing it.

Two possible reasons:
Game Freak failed in their mission to keep it familiar, only resulting in missing features it should have had
Alternatively, its just what happens, I recall people saying the exact same thing when HGSS came out
>This isn't at all what I remember
>Why am I not feeling nostalgia
>why is this so much worse then the originals!
Now, unlike then, I doubt people will come to see them as great games, unlike HGSS, but I'm simply pointing out it happened with them too.
I'm a hoenn and loved the games
It was a different take on hoenn

No one said that about hgss....
Gen 3 is the worst gen so when you replay a better modern version it still sucks

It's because it isn't 'R/S but 3D!', it's a total revamp with new characters, new places, new story additions, new gimmicks, new features; some things were also removed. You won't get nostalgia because of all these differences, as it's not just redone, it's totally remade.

You grew up anon.
Gen I was my first gen and I didn't feel nostalgia for FRLG (and HGSS) too. I didn't know that people could feel nostalgia for remakes.

Don't get me wrong, ORAS are good games on their own. They sure are better versions of the originals. The music, characters, layout, or just the region itself is fantastic and very faithful to the originals but I just can't seem to connect to it like how I did with my Pokemon Ruby. I've tried playing it for the 3rd time and there's just no chemistry. I really feel like it's the drastic change to 3d that's why I can't appreciate it. It's so different and new that I can't see Hoenn in it anymore.
