The game text scripts (things people say) and music (ESPECIALLY the music) are WAAAAAY TOO similar to Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald....
These games are actually supposed to be taking place in an alternate universe where the main trainer steps into Hoenn for the first time a little later down in the future than the trainer who did in Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald's time zones......
Things about these games that truly disappoint me:
*The scripting....
EVERYBODY (80%) of the people you talk to in this game say EXACTLY what they said in R/S and E...
*The Music*
Of course people want nostalgia when they boot these games up,but at least respect the power of the 3DS by at least mixing up the music a bit (add some techno,some more bass..SOMETHING)!!
I KNOW that HeartGold/SoulSilver never took big leaps from the original Gold and Silver soundtrack compositions.Note that I'm referring to the audio melody,not quality (the quality difference between HG/SS and G/S are definitely good enough).
The DS just wasn't CAPABLE of producing the kind of leap in soundtrack composing that would make the G/S remakes REALLY step out in that area (due to memory restraints)...The complaint here is that..the 3DS is DEFINITELY able to make this massive jump between itself and the GameBoy Advances audio.
I just don't think that the music in OR/AS are doing the 3DS enough justice (using it's best potential to be given here)!!
*The structuring*
OR/AS were obviously meant to be new games...and I expected that,but with that,they've actually WASHED down A LOT of things around the region that REALLY made it Hoenn (in comparison to other regions) Mauville city was my GREATEST disappointment here.
Instead of being a full blown outdoor city,it's now a cramped up mall like space,where just about every trainer service that you could think of are just all thrown together.
*The games difficulty*
Is it just me...or is it that these pokemon games are slowly becoming more and more...and MORE (too much now) kid friendly with the difficulty.
Gym leaders that were BOSSES before are now mere JOKES!!!
I had NO challenge with the game and the the SUPER simple music,cloned script and
The things that drew me to want to buy this game were:
1: The new Pokemon forms
2: Seeing everything that makes Hoenn..well..HOENN in greater graphical detail
3: The expanded storyline
4: The thought of a REALLY good soundtrack remix
As I have explained above,my dreams for 2 and 4 here,have been crumbled at my feet.
I know that there is a good chance that a lot of you out there were contented..but that's maybe only because you possibly never know what to expect from the remakes of a pokemon game like R/S and E on the 3DS in the first place.
Really GameFreak (Pokemon producers)....you could've done better.....
If you're one to follow my posts,then you would know that I've made a post a while back,stating that I knew for sure that these game were going to be rushed (even more than Pokemon X and Y)...
I'm not surprised that these games turned to be the WASHED out sketches that they are today (mostly because of this rushed production).
Don't get me wrong,the new dex nav and so on are actually REALLY cool,but it should be clear by now that these games needed A LOT more...
GameFreak.... just....PLEASE..don't spoil SINNOH for me when you choose to revamp it next......
