In the other comments I read saying that GF should change up some little things and to those I say no. Even if I’d like the change(s), we should all be realistic, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Maybe in a few -insert reasonable time frame- GF will change things and it could either be large scale or barely noticeable. I really can’t give advice because again, subjectivity, but I guess it all comes down to all change (aging, social factors etc).

My two cents and I suck at giving the advice you wanted so listen to everybody else 🙂

EDIT: Apologies for length. TL;DR/TL;BPR applies here

I was never able to fully get into Omega Ruby because playing it made me remember that I wasn’t really a fan of pokemon in the generation, there was entirely too much water, and it’s the first time I’ve played a pokemon game since GenIII where I needed to have a HM Slave. Say what you want about Gen V and VI but they at least had the sense to reduce the amount of required HMs and HM areas. I mean, there were still plenty of bushes and smashable rocks, but bushes didn’t obstruct the main story and Rock Smash became a TM, so I could just replace Thunderbolt or something then reteach it.

On top of that, ORAS didn’t bring a lot of new things to the table. New Mega Evolutions? Ok, not as big a deal as XY because they’re a staple to the series now. Super Secret Bases and Contests? Meh, just Secret Bases and Contests spitpolished. Seeing the Hoenn pokemon again? Pokemon XY sort of backfired by having over 400-500 pokemon because I was already reintroduced to them and Pokemon Bank really didn’t help. Speaking of Pokemon XY, it has the SAME EXACT POST-GAME BATTLE FACILITY AS XY… WTF? The ONLY thing ORAS has going for it is Soaring, which I admit I use more than flying. However, and this is a personal gripe, Pokemon Bank sort of cripples the thrill of it as well because I already have all the legendaries from other games. So although it’s exciting for new players and other people, it’s nothing more than a minor convenience for me.

So why should you play ORAS? Say what you like about the other remakes but they did bring something new to keep our interest, even if it was for a little while. Gen III remade RBY beautifully and introduced the Sevii Islands, which was a whole set of islands to explore, and even though the Sevii Islands are comparable in content to the Mirage Islands in these games, what FRLG has going for it is that it remade a game that extremely needed the upgrade, time had severely dated RBY. HGSS re-introduced walking pokemon from Pokemon Yellow, and instead of just Pikachu, you could walk with every pokemon, and I know I’m not the only one who felt AMAZING walking around with a legendary or liked taking pics with your team. Not only that, it brought the Pokeathalon into play which is the funnest mini-game I’ve played in any of the main games. If they had a more diverse selection of competitions, I swear I could get lost in that alone. I remember trying to play with as many different teams of pokemon as possible. However, ORAS is just a cut and paste 3DS version of Ruby and Sapphire, add the 3D graphics, Mega Evolutions and the touchscreen apps and you have ORAS. It even has the

So ORAS, personally I’d skip it, I havent touched it since I beat it. However, if you were a diehard fan of Ruby and Sapphire or you’re just starting the series, it’s a passable entry into the pokemon world. The 3D graphics are indeed beautiful. The Dexnav makes it a lot of fun to hunt for pokemon for a little while. The Pokedex design makes it fun to fill up, and, again, soaring is just a nice little touch, I hope they do it again in the future with other flying types.

Reminder to change underwear and bring a towel.

Reminder to check that you turned the oven off.

Omg XD I love imagining the fact someone had the thought of this in the first place and then decided to actually put in the effort to go and do it. also loving the background choice XD

Thanks 🙂
