pokémon omega ruby and alpha sapphire review

Competitively, the addition of new megas also changes the current metagame drastically, while the introduction of Primal Kyogre and Groudon will make them mainstays in Uber tiers. ORAS also brings back the most popular features from XY such as horde battles and Super Training for easy EV training, the PokéAmie mini game, plus the Player Search System which makes multiplayer experience much easier. With a little more patience, this might be your alternative to breeding. The new DexNav now replaces the PokéNav from the classic games, and includes upgrades such as allowing you find rare Pokémon with egg moves and perfect IVs.

I found this feature to be especially useful since Fly is not a move players usually have on their team anymore, and should be implemented in future games as well. Revamped features include a revamped Mauville City that’s essentially this game’s version of Lumiose City, and the ability to fly on your Latias or Latios to travel around Hoenn. The visuals are fantastic despite the still-present lag in animations where there is a lot of detail, as the game runs much more smoother than X and Y. My favourites are Slateport City, Fortree City, and Littleroot Town. The system UI is polished but still reflects the old games and all the music tracks are fresh remakes. The game itself is as nostalgic as it gets, the developers even poked fun at the original Gen III games in the intro. To make battling a breeze for a super fast playthrough, I bred a team of my favourite competitive Pokémon in Pokémon Y and used PokéBank to transfer to the new game. Here are some of my general comments about the game plus more on what I’m doing right now in the postgame.

I managed to get my copy of Alpha Sapphire on launch day and after two weeks of procrastinating for my exams, finally completed the game along with the Delta Episode.
