Omega Ruby is pretty good Pokemon. As someone who doesn't really enjoy Hoenn games, something about OR really clicks with me. It fixes a lot of issues I have with Hoenn, specifically with some dungeons, although it stills has HMs and falls into the newer Pokemon trap of being a tad hand-holdy (albeit not as much as other games released in mid-late 2010s). Delta Episode is mostly just exposition, but the music in the game is freaking sick and flying to space to fight Deoxys was something I didn't expect at all when I originally played the game. Because it's a Gen 6 game, OR isn't particularly challenging, although I did also only use Blaziken and Latios (I wasn't in the mood for a challenge, honestly). Honestly my team choice didn't seem to matter much, as by OR Gamefreak still hadn't figured out how to properly handle new Exp. Share scaling. The more fleshed out characters/world of Gen 6 Hoenn is a welcome change, as original Hoenn felt like they tried to do too much in some areas and did shockingly little in others. Good game that I like especially because it's in my favorite Gen and is a remake of a game I didn't particularly enjoy initially.
