Just gonna do pro's and con's because simpler
Pro's
- beautiful remake of favorite Pokemon game
- soaring is fun and nice to not have flying pokemon all the time
- Delta episode is great
- lots of legendaries to catch, good I guess
- two daycares
- dive returns and is done right (unlike BW) and diver trainers
- dexnav is great
- pokemon contests return
- wailmer, sharpedo, and kyogre surf is cool. One step in the right direction. Hopefully future games will show all Pokemon
- both bikes available
- safari zone doesn't have their own crap balls and functions like regular battles
- ace trainers surfing was nice. It felt good to not be the only one who rides their Pokemon
Cons
- The two evil teams literally only has four Pokemon. I hate this. It's boring as hell plus every encounter them is easy and seafloor cavern only has five grunts. So challenging...
- Magma grunts walk like robots and aqua grunts are hunchbacks. Not really a bad thing but weird
- there is like nowhere to train
- trainer rematches return but not in the way I wanted. Vs seeker please return
- gym leader rematches don't exist
- battle maison returns, and not battle frontier. Literally laziness on their part
-this game is to focused on ruby/sapphire even though Emerald was better. HGSS focused on crystal so there was no excuse
- miss all the double battles Emerald had
- shoal cave never goes into lowtide
- mauville food court only has limited daily battles while x/y had those restaurants you could constantly go to for exp and money
- besides Battle resort and mirage islands, there's nowhere new to explore. Such bore
- No pokeblock minigame
- No battle tents. Even one would be fine. They didn't need to include multiple contest halls because you can challenge each rank in any building. So there was room for battle tents
- Walking with your Pokemon isn't present. This should always be a feature
- I don't get why Groudon lives under the ocean when Mt. Chimney is clearly a more logical place. More proof on why Emerald was better
- Wattson has no Hoenn pokemon and Tate & liza only have two Pokemon which can be destroyed by surf. Not cool
- I leveled up too fast and wasn't even trying. Never had to grind and didn't use exp.share

I was lying. Please don't take me seriously
- - - Post Merge - - -
People don't like water in video games apparently. Ocarina of time water temple, for example
not that im trying to attack you for your opinion but...
there is like nowhere to train???/
I leveled up too fast and wasn't even trying. Never had to grind and didn't use exp.share?///
- contradictory much?
shoal cave never goes into lowtide
- tides are same as in RSE
gym leader rematches don't exist

- this is a remake of Ruby and Sapphire... Not Emerald. Just because HGSS had Crystal elements doesn't mean they have to do the exact same for the next set of remakes. If you're looking for all this then you're playing the wrong game. Go play Emerald. You didn't develop the game so don't call them "lazy" when you have no idea what went down on the development team. It's just rude.
I don't get why Groudon lives under the ocean when Mt. Chimney is clearly a more logical place. More proof on why Emerald was better
- umm idk maybe because underwater volcanoes are a thing????
I get your points but the majority of them don't even make sense
its ok ur not missing out on the battle frontier or gym leader rematches since they weren't in the originals!!! if u wanna experience that u should play emerald!!!

It's possible to add on to the originals while still staying faithful. I mean, gym leader rematches could easily be implemented via the PokeNav just like other trainers with Trainer's Eyes.
Or have a small place in the Battle Resort where Gym Leaders will change day by day a la the Top Trainer Cafe in Platinum. It's not as good as the rematch system in HGSS, but it's something.
However, I'm still glad that OR/AS are more polished than X/Y was. I'm currently playing Y in order to fully complete my OR National Pokedex, and I'm missing all the features from that game. It might shave off only a few seconds but being able to fly to individual routes is such a godsend.
I can't connect to the PSS, it says I need to download a patch or something from the eShop. It didn't let me go to the eShop to find one, but even going in to find one myself, I cannot find this supposed patch anywhere.
Anyone know where I can find it?

Ah, that's awesome, thanks a bunch!
