Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

[Elija2]

The only Pokemon games I've played are Diamond/Platinum (which I've never actually beaten the Elite Four in) and X so I don't know how they compare to RSE. Although there isn't as much surfing in DPP, it sure as hell is slow and I can only hope it wasn't as slow in RSE where water is everywhere. And I don't know how the contests were in RSE, but I didn't enjoy them in DPP either and I'm glad they got rid of them in later games. And doesn't every Pokemon game have overpowered Pokemon?

There's overpowered, then there's f*cking Kyogre the cheating little shit.

So why'd you skip the Unova region?

[Elija2]

I'm not really that interested in Pokemon to be honest. Diamond was the first Pokemon game I ever bought but it didn't interest me enough to beat it. I figured that Pokemon games just aren't for me but then people got me hyped for XY so I bought that. I haven't played it that much since I beat it though. I think I'm just gonna be stuck in an endless cycle of not being interested in Pokemon but buying every other game anyway.

That said, I'm suddenly feeling really nostalgic for the Sinnoh region so I might go back and play Platinum.

Just remember to pack an HM slave.

Just remember to pack an HM slave.

Ain't that always the case.

[Hakudamashi]

Actually, I never had an HM slave in party, I always distributed the HMs amongst the 6 pokemon I decided to stick with.

Ruby and Sapphire had the unfortunate fate of being released right at the time when the Pokemon fad crashed and interest bottomed out before the Gen. I remakes. So a lot of that perceived negative reception is more like "anti-nostalgia" if that's a thing.
