In Defense of ORAS Against Triggered Manchildren Anonymous 11/21/14 (Fri) 14:51:44 No.6367

There is nothing out of the ordinary about the quality of ORAS.

>no BF

If you convinced yourself there would be a BF, then congratulations, you're a retard. GF never announced the Battle Frontier and it was never present in the game's coding. It wasn't "removed", it never existed. The typical redditor response to this is "BUT HGG/SS HAD IT!!!" Yes, that was because Platinum's BF had already been made and they just had to copy and paste it in. FR/LG had a Battle Tower, because it copy pasted R/S, and ORAS has a Maison because it copy pasted XY's. The battle frontier hasn't been in the Pokemon franchise for 6 years now. Remakes are not and have never been intended to innovate the post-game. Which brings me to my next point.

>there's no post game!

Yes, there is. The Delta Chapter is the most substantial post-game we've received from a remake since FR/LG. HG/SS did nothing to innovate over G/S, except copypaste Platinum's Battle Frontier. In ORAS, we get a whole new chapter to the story, new areas, new legendaries, all kinds of good stuff. So saying there's no post game or that the post game is worse than any other remake is pure nonsense.

>no "new" megas

They added a substantial amount of megas. The fact they were all announced is irrelevant, they have just been leaked anyway.

There are legitimate criticisms to be made, such as "no trainer customization" and "No gym leader rematches", which is fair enough. But lets end this insane over-reaction we've been seeing that outright decry ORAS as "the worst games ever" or "the laziest" when they're clearly not.

>There never was one
It was one of my favorite features, I like battle facilities but, they could've at least used the tower and Scott.
>new legendaries
What new legendaries?
>no new megas
Really well thats disappointing
>no trainer customization
I could forgive this because of the secret bases returning
>No gym leader rematches
Again very disappointing little things like this are great too bad X and Y didn't even give them full teams

Also did hoenn really have a post game as good as BW2 or Platinum, I just remember the battle frontier?
My only gripe with gamefreak is that they'll make something really good with a fuckload of content or make a gimmick people like and take it all away for a barebones boring pile like X and Y

>Remakes are not and have never been intended to innovate the post-game
True, regardless this still makes the game shitty.
GF could have put the most-demanded feature in ORAS but decided against it because muh patterns, resulting in a boring post-game. HGSS didn't cut anything from Crystal, yet ORAS does, & the "extra" content they added doesn't compensate the lack of BF, at least for me it doesn't.

>Delta Episode
Looker Quest 2.0 with a revamped Sky Battle. One single side-quest that ends at some point & cannot be replayed is not post-game, this is why the Delta Episode is not a match for the BF.

>no trainer customization
>no game corner
>no hot spring grannies
Plain removal of original material without replacement is lazy.
Trainer customization was actually a major, highly demanded feature before it even came to be, not keeping is a stupid business move. They could have offered a limited number of non-modifiable outfits OUTSIDE contests with skin color choices, but they didn't.
Also they could have put literally anything else in the place of the Game Corner that has nothing to do with gambling, most obvious choice would have been an arcade or a contest hall or even a mini boutique. I would have settled with Voltorb Flip or the complete removal of the building but leaving it empty with a note is infuriating.

>returning legendaries have no story
They tried pulling a B2W2 & failed miserably, I'm now expected to chase legendaries roaming the sky & grass endlessly in a chore-like procedure instead of exploring & solving puzzles to catch them in their respectful places.

All in all the only things that make ORAS better than RSE are the 3D & Megas. Secret Bases existed since RS along with their online features & player battling, only difference now is that they can be shared more easily.

>tfw both the halfchan and 8chan finally agree with me
