I got Omega Ruby today

2 things

May has the cutest expressions (playing as Brendan, otherwise it'd just be C:)

Music is lovely. The random pokemon theme is so nostalgic
After the travesty that was HG/SS, OR/AS was wonderfully pleasant treat. Can't think of anything I disliked about it--the abundance of HMs aside. Oh, and they took out being able to change your outfits.

Oh, and there are a lot of... gimmies. You'll see what I mean by that.

The outfit thing I can understand since it's a remake, but I honestly like HG/SS. What was your issue with it?

- Gen IV's clunky, molasses-paced battles made an unwelcome reprisal
- Having your Pokémon constantly follow you around gets very annoying after awhile
- Terrible music--ALL of my favorite tracks were ruined (except Silver's theme)
- The 2D/3D thing just does not work for me whatsoever--I've talked about this before
- Fucking Lyra

etc.

But yeah, the #1 reason is because it has that lingering Gen IV stink that I can't handle for too long. To be fair, though, Gen II is my baby, so they probably couldn't have made a remake that I would be happy with in the end.

I actually loved it when it first came out, but it really soured on me in a short period of time.

Dude, this is so fucking annoying, you accidentally walk over a hidden item? Well too bad now your Pokemon is standing on top of it. Oh and when you're stopped somehow when you try to turn around is the worst (which is particularly bad in Yellow).

I feel the same way with ORAS tbh, if I ever pick up a copy of AS (because I'm not resetting my OR), I'll do a review

Oh right, the Gen 4 thing. But how dare you, Lances theme was fine. In fact, I like it much better than the BW2 remake since it's nothing but dubby dubstep. Same with the Kanto gym.

May doing her bow flick before every battle is fantastic. They also don't look retarded like on the cover/photo they gave them. Brendan isn't tan for... whatever reason, and May doesn't have that retarded face. Which is good.

Type Null seems like an abomination that was made as a poor imitation of Arceus.

I mean the thing around its neck looks like Arceus' wheel and the website mentions it was created to fight legendaries.

So I've been powering through Pokemon X so I can play Omega Ruby

and uhh, the little flashback story of that small pokemon and that guy was... surprisingly sad. And the cutscene was a pleasant surprise.

I swear though, I don't know who is worse. Team Plasma or Flare. They're both so painfully bland, but I think Flares music is worse.

Honestly, no team has been spectacular, but Team Flare was definitely a new low for me. Without spoiling, there's a good reason they're widely considered to be the worst overall.

As dumb as they can get, you can usually point to at least one or two things that are pretty cool about each team. Team Magma/Aqua had the most harebrained motivations in the series, but their over-the-top dialogue and general stupidity made them funny as hell. Team Galactic had those dopey-looking designs, but Cyrus was awesome, and is probably the most sympathetic villain in the series (to me, anyway). Team Plasma's motives were interesting, if hypocritical--because the ethics of Pokémon battling had never been tackled as a subject matter before.

Team Flare... I can honestly say there wasn't a thing about them that I found remotely redeeming, let alone interesting.

The only thing I like about them remotely is their leader, and even then he doesn't compare to someone like Cyrus. Well, sort of.

Though idk why he decided to kill himself in the end. Now it's off to the Elite 4 with me.

The thing is though, in Pokemon X it's likely that he didn't kill himself

Pokemon X: That's right! I shall grant you eternal life! I'll give you the pain of endlessly waiting for a beautiful world to finally be built
Pokemon Y: The ultimate weapon is a flower that bloomed to no avail... Just like me... But this ends here! I will show what its remaining power can do!

He probably gave himself immortality, like AZ which really doesn't make sense to me because I thought his plan was to kill Humans off to create his beautiful world - firing the weapon would have probably made everyone immortal, thus ruining his plan.

He could have been such a good villain if he got much better development

Delphox, Starmie, Hawlucha, Garchomp, Absol, Aurorus.


I also wasn't a fan of the final bit of Team Flare because you had to just fight 4 people in a very lazy fight.
