      I absolutely, and I mean absolutely, adore the Latio(a)s skyflute mechanic and the secret islands. Also Mirage Island is also way more accessible.

    I got back into Pokémon in 2020 during the lockdowns. One of the games I played for the first time was ORAS. I was lucky enough to play Alpha Sapphire without knowledge of the Delta Episode. Needless to say, a double legendary battle which ends in space blew my mind. I later visited my childhood home. I couldn’t quite remember the last Pokémon game I had played… it was Sapphire. We often wonder if it would be possible to experience the magic of a story the first time all over again. Playing Alpha Sapphire 17 years after the original might be the only time I’ve been able to relive a story anew. What a great set of games.

    No other Pokémon game will EVER top OR/AS for me. I grew up with Pokémon from the very beginning, but R/S/E were the games I played the most. When OR/AS was announced I was ecstatic. And when I finally got to play it, oh my God, I loved it to pieces.
    This is honestly my favorite video on RUclips. You've managed to put into words everything that I love about these games. So much heart and soul went into these games and it's a damn shame that they're so under appreciated.

      I'm on the same page. The Battle Frontier never amaze me that much, but I loved the themes. Being able to hear the remaster version of the Battle Frontier on the Battle Maison was already enough for me. Also, I hate how people talk about the Maison in Hoenn being copy pasted from Kalos, but never talk about the Sinnoh Frontier in Johto. The place is an island in ORAS, and has differences from it's counterpart in XY, not only that, but they have a meaning to be there. The Sinnoh Frontier in other hand doesn't have ANY changes, ANY meanings to be there and ANY sense at all to be in Johto.

    ORAS are the best pokemon games. The nostalgia, graphics, details, personality, May, Wally, Steven, Zinnia, the music, the dialogue, the delta episode, and many more! It is better than the original games in every way! May is also like your best friend (and maybe more). Wally is like your fan that wants to become stronger to even match your skill. Steven is just Steven and the Zinnia theme is sooooooooooo good. Maxie and Archie are the best! And oh my god that end part. It made me cry! No joke! Overall, ORAS are simply the best and it is in my opinion: a masterpiece

I bought a copy of Alpha Sapphire last year because it was half the price. Oooh boy was I wrong for dismissing it. Now I just feel like I missed out. The Dexnav was such a joy. The post game spoils us with shinies and the multiple methods that may differentiate pokemon from one another in how they can be shiny hunted. ORAS are not perfect games, but they are still amazing. Everything you've mentioned in the video too. Fantastic. This video deserves more views!

    What's sad is how you see how they did a proper remake of an old game with ORAS and see how compared to these, the remakes of Dimond and Pearl look even worse. You can totally reimagine these old games and modernize them, add new features and events, and update the story and still make it feel like a better version of the old game. Meanwhile, the diamond and pearl remakes were a sad excuse of them putting out the bare minimum and failing horribly.

    I grew up after RSE by a couple years, so the pokemon game i grew up with was Diamond Pearl and Platinum. Due to this i never really enjoyed a hoenn game. I had played emerald on an emulator, but it was rushed and didn't have the same feel. When i got my 2ds to play sun and moon, i picked up a copy of Alpha sapphire, and didn't play it until recently, but i see now why people consider gen 3 to be the best. It was such a Good game and the additions of orad where top tier.

    I'm four years late to this video, but I just wanted to say: thank you so, so much for making this
    I recently got back into Pokemon after not playing it since I was a child/my early teens. When getting back into it, I, of course, wanted to replay all the DS Pokemon games, (especially since I have forgotten all of the stories). But one thing I did remember was my love for Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (I have reseted my AS game many, many times as a kid LMAO). I didn't know why and the only thing I really could remember was my love for especially the Delta episode. So when it came time to replaying it, I was particularly excited
    And I really couldn't believe it. I can't even describe how much I loved, LOVED this specific Pokemon game. I thought my love for ORAS was just stemmed from me being a stupid kid, not knowing what was objectively bad or good. But now that I know as an adult, I feel like I appreciate ORAS EVEN MORE. The amount of time, energy, effort, and LOVE put into ORAS was so emotional to see. The changes and the small details they put into this remake was phenomenal and, honestly, I think it should be a standard on how to make remakes for ANY game. I could go on for hours on how much this game made me feel (there's a lot of positive emotions to say the least LMAO)
    But, besides that, I especially want to thank you for this video. I couldn't believe the amount of small details you were able to find and condense it into ~30 minutes. You, of course, probably found details online, but you managed to put time into ypur day to actually have it in your game and show it to the camera. And your voice! I can tell from your voice how much passion and love you have for ORAS, and it really is admirable. This whole video is
    ORAS has now become one of my favorite games of all time now. I've only recently replayed it, but I already want to start all over and play it again. It has become a game that means so much to me, like it wasn't that before. And watching a vid of someone also feeling the same makes me extraordinary happy and, honestly, comforting. Despite how random and ranty it may be, this video is one of those videos where I will go back to if I ever feel down about myself and need some comfort. This game seriously means sm, it's so beautiful

    ORAS was my very first pokemon game when i was little. it was so amazing to explore the world, go through all the side quests, and just take in what the game has to offer. ORAS holds a very special place in my heart and is my personal #1 pokemon game. so much love went into this remake and i love it so much. im so glad others appreciate this game as much as i did, even if u didn't play the original Ruby and Sapphire. this video brought back so many memories!! thank you so much (: i might just pick up my 3DS and look at my old save file.

    I love these games and i have a lot of nostalgia for them, because Omega Ruby was my first Pokemon game and my most played 3DS game to this day. I used to spend hours rebattling random trainers to get pokemon to level 100. Also I loved using the dex nav to catch all pokemon on each route. I never caught them all but it was a great part of my childhood.

    Pokemon Omega Ruby was the first Pokemon game I played. I was so in love with every single detail about it and how amazing it was. While I have become much more critical of these games as time passed and don't find them perfect (heck sometimes I prefer going back to Ruby), this video showed me how much love heart and soul was put into this experience and why I held it so dearly before. It's brimming with life and love and now I wish I hadn't lost my Omega Ruby cartridge cause now I wanna know so much more about this region and it's people. This video was amazing, as was this remake.

    While it’s easy to nitpick ORAS for leaving out additional content that had been added in Emerald, the difficulty of grinding post elite 4, and many other, I do adore these games for the graphics and content they did include and obviously put a lot of effort into it! Still 10/10 IMO. Also anyone else notice what looks like a gimmighoul book in the trainer school frame?

    Pokemon Oras is pure definition of masterpiece. This game shows how much love 😚 Pokemon company gave into making it! So detailed, so refine😍. Unlike other remakes which are just old games with updated graphics but THIS!!!!!
    This game is personification of true remakes. This is how a remake should be full of nostalgia and mystery features for you to explore that make you feel connected to the past and future all together ❤️.
    I'm a gen 3 fan and I may sound bias but come on look at it in comparison to Pokemon x and y those were completely new games but yet Oras is what truly made gen 6 shine! I think Pokemon company like alot of Pokemon fans are Pokemon gen 3 fans.

    Gen 6 is the generation I played the most by far. The wonder trade system brought a sense of risk, excitement and, well, WONDER. The graphics were beautiful, for the first time it felt more realistic than the anime. The national dex was a challenge to get, but with the new wonder trade and GTS system, was possible even with 1 cartridge of the game and 0 friends. Every aspect of this game was beautifully detailed. Just talking about it has made me want to replay it… so bye! Great video ahaha

    I've been playing this game and not even done and already kind of blown away at how so few talk about this. If this game isn't missing something it's soul. Maybe a battle frontier, but there's a lot more. And even though mega evolutions felt off in Kanto I think they fit into Hoenn a whole lot better. Idk there's a lot more to say, but it's good stuff.

  • @Legoluigi26
    @Legoluigi26 3 года назад +8

    Alpha Sapphire was my first Pokemon game, but I honestly forgot how much care was put into ORAS. I did so much in that game, from meeting my beloved Swampert Mudddy (I confused the enter key for backspace), constructing my first competetive teams to battle my friends on the bus, leveling up some of my most special pokemon to level 100, and completing the National Dex thanks to wonder trading (I clocked over 700 hours in the game, and half of that time must have been spent on wonder trade #WTW) and breeding an army of phione and cryogonal to dump on the GTS until I celebrated the acquisition of my final piece of the Pokedex (Ferrothorn) with a Google Plus post.
    Hooooo boy I was seriously rambling, but I just have so many memories with AS. I haven't even touched that game in years since I'm worried about messing up this perfect time capsule to my past. I'm on a Unova kick right now, but I'll have to find a copy of Omega Ruby and rediscover Hoenn all over again. So thanks, this video really brought me back.

    I love ORAS so much. It was the last Pokémon game that wasn't catered to the casual fans. For context, I was 11 when the game came out, so I don't have the same appreciation as people who grew up with RSE. But the game was just so full of life. I only wish the game had character customisation. That was the biggest addition to X and Y that ORAS completely negated. It made no sense to introduce it only to remove it one game later.

    If there's one thing I regret in life, it was not having played ORAS the minute it was released. I was too obsessed with Smash Wii U at the time, that I completely forgot about it. It wasn't until early 2015, after I finally got a 3DS that I started getting into Pokémon again...starting with Pokémon X. I think it was towards the end of that year that I finally got to experience ORAS completely, and let me tell you that I was heavily bummed at the missed opportunities when it came to online interactivity. Would have to have love messed around with secret bases or contests with folks that aren't AIs. It was my own fault for missing out obviously. 😔
    Fun Fact: The lack of a Battle Frontier never bothered me. Particularly due to my lack of experience with Emerald. I was always obsessed with obtaining that game, but every time I bought a copy of the game online, it would only turn out to be some bootlegged copy that would always corrupt after I turn off the game. It got to a point where I just gave up finding a real copy, and just stuck with Sapphire.

    The algorithm pointed me to this video, I love seeing passionate discussion on Pokémon games!
    When playing this game the hand holding and easier gameplay didn’t sit right with me. Sadly I didn’t appreciate all the love that went into this game, looking back although it’s not as FULL as HGSS is, but they did a lot to make you feel like you’re playing Ruby/Sapphire but in the modern era. The amount of detail that went into it was great, although there’s a few places where the added details maybe weren’t needed, a lot is great
    Looking back, ORAS was such an amazing game and when we see what happened with BDSP….. I WISH it was something like ORAS…
