>>713908080 (OP) FUN FACT Did you know that the too much water complaints are literally only applicable to Emerald because the game transposed the Rayquaza quest from the post-game onto the main game? Ruby and Sapphire (and by extension Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) simply have you traversing three simple water routes to get to Sootopolis and Ever Grande - as far as the main game is concerned it has about as much surfing as Kanto.
>>713909696 This has to be the shittiest Hoenn team I've ever seen in my life. You know you can catch Pokemon in the grass after the third town right?

>>713908080 (OP) the pokemon world has so many trees every town is situated in the middle of a dense forest

>>713909240 I would much rather talk to an npc that I have to go back down three ledges to get to exactly once than to go back and forth through Mt Coronet 18 times

>>713909240 Why would it be bad design? Petalburg Woods literally has an alt Cut path to make the backtracking worthwhile.
>>713908080 (OP) Gen 3 is truly peak Pokemon. Sad that they will never outdo RSE.

>>713909240 >having to go from rustboro back down to dewford and slateport via mr briney feels like bad design No it's not The bad design is not being able to take Mr Briney's boat anymore after getting surf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq9M1qzxCOE
>>713909696 I was disappointed with ORAS on release, but even though some of the changes and removed content were fucking heinous, most of the additions were actually pretty great. I wish I played more when people were exchanging secret bases actively.

>>713908532 this is how you spot newfags, the reason why half of the region is water is because of the legendaries. it creates a nice duality, plus it's chill to surf and dive
>>713915747 >muh lore they should make a game where the legendaries are all about making horrible noises and make the music atrocious to match so we can watch idiots defend it

>>713917062 I don't see having too many water routes a problem. They could have had more encounter variety though.
>>713909605 People don’t use it, what’s to learn? Competition trannies use that online sim

>>713909605 Only Emerald, Platinum and HG/SS had a battle frontier. And it was pretty much the same in the gen 4 games.

>>713909605 no bdsp are a 1:1 copy of dp, no pokemon after gen4, no unique content, glitches that were patched in platinum were brought back, forced experience share, and an ugly 3d chibi art style lol
