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.

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 >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

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.

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

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
