Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are two games in the series of Pokémon RPG games. The are part of Generation VI of Pokémon. The two games were released for the Nintendo 3DS. The games are remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire using the mh:crappygames:Pokémon X and Y engine.

Why they Make You Gotta Catch 'Em All in Hoenn, again

 * 1) A cool nostalgic introduction sequence harking to the old Pokémon games is played when you start the game.
 * 2) The DexNav is introduced which is a new method to finding Pokémon.
 * 3) New Mega Evolutions are introduced.
 * 4) *In addition, Groudon and Kyogre both gain a new form; Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.
 * 5) Improved player UI in the bottom screen.
 * 6) The plot from the original Ruby and Sapphire is expanded to fit Mega Evolutions and make Team Magma/Aqua's motivations more logical beyond just messing with the weather, which makes the game more of a reimagining.
 * 7) Cross-Generation Pokémon such as Roserade are able to be used during the main story, thanks to more items and new areas being available in the Hoenn region.
 * 8) Secret Bases are significantly better than in Generation III since now you can use the 3DS's online functions to share secret bases with other players.
 * 9) *Pokémon you encounter in secret bases are registered in your Pokédex.
 * 10) Exploring the ocean is made smoother by using the Pokémon Sharpedo to Surf, who can swim much faster. The ocean routes are also redesigned to be less complicated to navigate as well.
 * 11) A new post-game story mode called "Delta Episode" is added. It explains that Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire take place in an alternate universe from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.
 * 12) *The Delta episode also confirms why each Pokémon games have two or three versions with minor differences each, every version is its own alternate universe.
 * 13) *It also explains why Mega Evolution didn't exist in previous generations; games with Mega Evolution present take place in a timeline where AZ from mh:crappygames:Pokémon X and Y fired the Ultimate weapon, while games without Mega Evolution take place in an alternate timeline where the Ultimate weapon was never developed.
 * 14) This is the first game in the core series to feature two Daycares with the battle resort (which is post-game only) being more efficient.
 * 15) The cutscenes are absolutely amazing.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some content exclusive to Emerald is missing, such as rematches with the gym leaders, and most notably the Battle Frontier (only a diorama of it appears).
 * 2) The Old Sea Chart event where the player can get a wild Mew in Utmost Island was never implemented.
 * 3) Trainer customization was removed from X & Y.
 * 4) The newly introduced forms and Mega Evolutions cannot be used when playing with a Pokémon X and Y player because those games were not updated to adjust to the new forms.
 * 5) ** However, Latias and Latios' Mega Evolutions were hidden in the code of Pokémon X and Y, despite being unobtainable without trading.
 * 6) Unlike HeartGold and SoulSilver (then later, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl), there is no item (named as GBA Sounds by fans) that replaces Remake (ORAS) music with Original (RSE) music, the effect was extended when Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee did not feature GB sounds.

Reception
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have received positive reviews from video game critics.

mh:crappygames:IGN gave the game a 7.8/10, with one of the criticisms being "too much water". This review has gained extreme notoriety (it became part of Larry Bundy Jr's 5 TOTALLY Idiotic Things Said by Game Journalists 2 video) and is very frequently joked about around the internet. This line was referenced in Pokémon Sun and Moon/Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as one of the potential comments you can get on the Poké Finder.
