I'm very happy to see so many new people enjoying this video! ORAS for life!! If you have a moment, please check out my main channel, "Mat4yo," where I made a song to say goodbye to Ash Ketchum. More Pokemon content is coming soon on that channel!

[@asuuki2048]

Whoa, that thumbnail picture of May is slightly different than the main official art! Is it fan art or something else? I just somehow noticed that she’s in a bit of a more leaned back pose lol. It’s really cute! ^.^

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

As someone who started with Sapphire, the lack of utter adoration for ORAS baffles me. It’s absolutely everything I saw in my head when I played the 3rd gen games as a kid.

[@AS-ri1mb]

They screwed themselves over by not including the Battle Frontier. That would have literally won everyone over (also why not just remake Emerald?)

[@genecicordeirodossantosjun5037]

​@@AS-ri1mbIf It was an emerald remake they could not sell 2 games :(

[@M2JoyBoy]

Right! I started with Emerald and played Alpha Sapphire and honestly people hating this game made me realize people will hate anything no matter how good it is, except for Scarlet and Violet, that game deserves all the criticism; fastest refund of Violet I have ever done.

[@crackman9376]

I've heard it said that ORAS was basically a love letter sent to hardcore pokemon fans by the developers and I've never been able to look at it any other way.

[@InsanitiesBrother]

Yeah, then everybody shat on it. I was there thinking "am I crazy for liking this... it's lit"

[@Hatchumosc1]

Yes really great games. Then BDSP are beyond ass...

[@truedarkness4052]

Minus the battle frontier missing (which I personally don't have much of an opinion on but I know that's a big minus for some people), yep pretty much. I absolutely, and I mean absolutely, adore the Latio(a)s skyflute mechanic and the secret islands. Also Mirage Island is also way more accessible. It was probably the last time Pokemon had any genuine wonder or mystery to it, and for that this game will always have a place in my heart.

[@guts9980]

Gen 6 as a whole is it

[@TrunkJunky]

You'd be right if they had included the Battle Frontier at the very least.

This videos was actually really wonderful to see. People always love to downlpaly oras mainly because the lack of battle frontier. But the way you go in depth about all the subtle things that give it so much heart just really made me feel happy inside. Definitely need to play it again

Amazing to hear!! That's what I wanted from this video. Celebrate what IS instead of only complaining about what could have been!

[@katalystkatapatheticalyssa5987]

I swear the people who demanded Battle Frontier don't have an appreciation for anything else in the game.

[@obits3]

I got back into Pokémon in 2020 during the lockdowns. One of the games I played for the first time was ORAS. I was lucky enough to play Alpha Sapphire without knowledge of the Delta Episode. Needless to say, a double legendary battle which ends in space blew my mind. I later visited my childhood home. I couldn’t quite remember the last Pokémon game I had played… it was Sapphire. We often wonder if it would be possible to experience the magic of a story the first time all over again. Playing Alpha Sapphire 17 years after the original might be the only time I’ve been able to relive a story anew. What a great set of games.

[@madnessarcade7447]

I liked how oras used the anime exclusive design for mr Devon

I loved this game back in 2014 and I still do, this games are really underrated because people like do hate on 3d pokemon games for nothing, besides the lack of bttle frontier( I'm not the biggest fan of, I'm more of a tradicional battles kind of person) this games are amazing, they really hold a place in my hearth

[@insecure8926]

I'm on the same page. The Battle Frontier never amaze me that much, but I loved the themes. Being able to hear the remaster version of the Battle Frontier on the Battle Maison was already enough for me. Also, I hate how people talk about the Maison in Hoenn being copy pasted from Kalos, but never talk about the Sinnoh Frontier in Johto. The place is an island in ORAS, and has differences from it's counterpart in XY, not only that, but they have a meaning to be there. The Sinnoh Frontier in other hand doesn't have ANY changes, ANY meanings to be there and ANY sense at all to be in Johto.

[@mat4yovg342]

Same here

[@tommymaxey2665]

Its been so long since I've player Alpha sapphire that I forgot about most of theses

[@JeysArcade]

Pokemon Omega Ruby will always and forever be my favorite pokemon game! Not only because I have so much nostalgia for both gen 3 and gen 6, Omega Ruby is also just an amazing game! I know I wish the frontier was there too but we need to appreciate what we have instead of being upset about what we don't. This video does an amazing job at showing the amazing beauty of Pokemon Omega Ruby so thank you so much

God ORAS is beautiful, ugh take me back to the release of ORAS. It was my very first own pokemon game and it was amazing! Everytime I hear the music from The Delta Episode it tugs at my heartstrings! From someone who's logged 700+ hours of my life into Alpha Sapphire since 2014 and still going strong in 2023 I loved this video

[@shabsol2946]

ORAS are the best pokemon games. The nostalgia, graphics, details, personality, May, Wally, Steven, Zinnia, the music, the dialogue, the delta episode, and many more! It is better than the original games in every way! May is also like your best friend (and maybe more). Wally is like your fan that wants to become stronger to even match your skill. Steven is just Steven and the Zinnia theme is sooooooooooo good. Maxie and Archie are the best! And oh my god that end part. It made me cry! No joke! Overall, ORAS are simply the best and it is in my opinion: a masterpiece

[@pauljohnong5924]

I did not buy ORAS when they came out because I was disappointed with the lack of a Battle Frontier. Emerald was my first game. I bought a copy of Alpha Sapphire last year because it was half the price. Oooh boy was I wrong for dismissing it. Now I just feel like I missed out. The Dexnav was such a joy. The post game spoils us with shinies and the multiple methods that may differentiate pokemon from one another in how they can be shiny hunted. ORAS are not perfect games, but they are still amazing. Everything you've mentioned in the video too. Fantastic. This video deserves more views!

[@mat4yovg342]

I'm glad you found your way back! Share with a friend!

[@bomberwarren]

Had alpha sapphire for 5 years I've only just played through it and it's been amazing.

[@narxmagee727]

Pokemon Omega Ruby was the first Pokemon game I played. I was so in love with every single detail about it and how amazing it was. While I have become much more critical of these games as time passed and don't find them perfect (heck sometimes I prefer going back to Ruby), this video showed me how much love heart and soul was put into this experience and why I held it so dearly before. It's brimming with life and love and now I wish I hadn't lost my Omega Ruby cartridge cause now I wanna know so much more about this region and it's people. This video was amazing, as was this remake.

Never realized how much you can actually do in ORAS. I'm definitely going to replay it this summer!

There's a house in Dewford Town that has a very funny thing to do with it. Inside, there are many people talking about a "Potion Festival", and you can change it to anything in your bag by talking to a boy in front of the house. For example, if I talk to the boy and select Diancite and Festival, everyone in the house will start talking about "Diancite Festival."

This is a really good video. I lost my copy of alpha sapphire so sadly I can't really explore anymore, but watching this video made me realize how much I didn't notice in my playthrough.

I escaped my real life problems in Hoenn.

Your enthusiasm for these games shines through the screen, dude. It's very refreshing to see in this day and age of jaded players. I remember being surprised to hear that there was apparently some decent backlash against these remakes. I enjoyed them quite a bit for what they were to me: a modern revisit to dear old games.

I loved oras It was so creative and fun and unique and added a lot of spicy new additions to the story

[@AlleywayAcademic]

Playing ORAS during it's live era, was the best time I've had with pokemon-- EVER. Playing both Y and OR, completing a living, making my first competitive mon. Having mini games that give you EV's. The flavor and function of the touch screen and other interactions in the game. The most phenominal experience I've ever had with the series. I've been around since day 1 with pkmn. Gen 3 was my fave, and ORAS became my absolute favorite. Video was a great synopsis of the games.

[@dmillz5501]

Commenting before i watch, I'll reply my thoughts after I'm done. I grew up after RSE by a couple years, so the pokemon game i grew up with was Diamond Pearl and Platinum. Due to this i never really enjoyed a hoenn game. I had played emerald on an emulator, but it was rushed and didn't have the same feel. When i got my 2ds to play sun and moon, i picked up a copy of Alpha sapphire, and didn't play it until recently, but i see now why people consider gen 3 to be the best. It was such a Good game and the additions of orad where top tier.

[@dmillz5501]

Such a great video essay displaying the wonders of ORAS. Also i just realized this is a 6 month old vid. I came here from your pokemon music video. Not sure how i missed this.

Omega ruby is my favorite Pokémon game of all time. Ruby is a close second because that was literally my childhood. It’s hard realizing how long ago it was when we had massive TVs and advance SPs. Omega ruby allows me to revisit my past I don’t look back on enough and I love it for that

[@Swordsmaster]

The arguments I hear why ORAS is bad: too easy difficulty, no Battle Frontier, and the original music was better. Why I love ORAS: there's no more need to grind since the OP exp share exists, Team Magma and Aqua having expanded lore, all the music is rockin' and easily beats the original for me, and so much more (a lot which is covered in your video).

[@miguelgcgamer9878]

Who said the original music was better? The remix version of oras are better hands down

[@Swordsmaster]

@@miguelgcgamer9878 I've heard people

[@fort809]

I’m currently playing through OR, and the ease doesn’t just come from the XP share. My Combusken rolls the entire game regardless of type matchup, i literally don’t need any other Pokémon because of how insanely over leveled and powerful all the starters become simply by playing the game

I feel like turning off the exp share makes the difficulty a little more balanced

Literally, my only gripe with ORAS that I can think off the top of my head is they're kinda easy compared to the originals and the lack of Gym Leader rematches, which has become an often recurring thing since Emerald and in recent years has essentially become a staple. Other than that, they're amazing.

[@blameitondanny]

That's just modern pokemon in general. There's nothing we can do about it. Now, my biggest gripe with the game is that they got rid of Ginger Shelly.

No other Pokémon game will EVER top OR/AS for me. I grew up with Pokémon from the very beginning, but R/S/E were the games I played the most. When OR/AS was announced I was ecstatic. And when I finally got to play it, oh my God, I loved it to pieces. This is honestly my favorite video on KZbin. You've managed to put into words everything that I love about these games. So much heart and soul went into these games and it's a damn shame that they're so under appreciated.

[@dr6770]

What's sad is how you see how they did a proper remake of an old game with ORAS and see how compared to these, the remakes of Dimond and Pearl look even worse. You can totally reimagine these old games and modernize them, add new features and events, and update the story and still make it feel like a better version of the old game. Meanwhile, the diamond and pearl remakes were a sad excuse of them putting out the bare minimum and failing horribly.

[@paulhillegass7738]

Still the best region in Pokémon. Unova comes close, but Hoenn has always felt like home.

[@klauskuchengabel6394]

I think, I should go back and play those games more. I have still a lot to discover! Thanks you for your video! It has made nostalgic and excited.

[@matthewesposito6973]

While it’s easy to nitpick ORAS for leaving out additional content that had been added in Emerald, the difficulty of grinding post elite 4, and many other, I do adore these games for the graphics and content they did include and obviously put a lot of effort into it! Still 10/10 IMO. Also anyone else notice what looks like a gimmighoul book in the trainer school frame?

[@plausibruh]

They set up so much lore in gen 6 but it seems like that's all but forgotten. Hopefully we'll get a game that goes back to that one day.

[@comfortablejeans]

You made me think about how much SOUL is in ORAS but now I realize all that soul is held back by the 3DS XL screen. I need a 3DS so bad.

I love these games and i have a lot of nostalgia for them, because Omega Ruby was my first Pokemon game and my most played 3DS game to this day.

[@Sharpedo43]

If there's one thing I regret in life, it was not having played ORAS the minute it was released. I was too obsessed with Smash Wii U at the time, that I completely forgot about it. It wasn't until early 2015, after I finally got a 3DS that I started getting into Pokémon again...starting with Pokémon X. I think it was towards the end of that year that I finally got to experience ORAS completely, and let me tell you that I was heavily bummed at the missed opportunities when it came to online interactivity. Would have to have love messed around with secret bases or contests with folks that aren't AIs. It was my own fault for missing out obviously. 😔 Fun Fact: The lack of a Battle Frontier never bothered me. Particularly due to my lack of experience with Emerald. I was always obsessed with obtaining that game, but every time I bought a copy of the game online, it would only turn out to be some bootlegged copy that would always corrupt after I turn off the game. It got to a point where I just gave up finding a real copy, and just stuck with Sapphire.

My favorite detail about this game is that Brendan and May actually have different encounter themes depending on if you're playing with the male MC or the female MC.

[@cosmicpegasus9697]

Pokemon Oras is pure definition of masterpiece. This game shows how much love 😚 Pokemon company gave into making it! So detailed, so refine😍. Unlike other remakes which are just old games with updated graphics but THIS!!!!! This game is personification of true remakes. This is how a remake should be full of nostalgia and mystery features for you to explore that make you feel connected to the past and future all together ❤️. I'm a gen 3 fan and I may sound bias but come on look at it in comparison to Pokemon x and y those were completely new games but yet Oras is what truly made gen 6 shine! I think Pokemon company like alot of Pokemon fans are Pokemon gen 3 fans.

[@TheShadowtRanger]

my first pokemon game was Emerald, so i was excited for ORAS. i gotta say though that i love ORAS, its a good remake and it felt like i was playing Emerald again...to an extent. i was just so used to getting both stories at the same time that it threw me for a loop when i only had one base to go to and some other minor details i cant remember right now

[@Kartoffeljoghurt]

such an awesome video

[@brunolinares604]

ORAS saved gen 6 in my opinion. While it dropped beloved features like the Frontier and some dungeons, we had new toys like the addictive Dex Nav and the Eon Flute Flight

[@mat4yovg342]

Generation 6 was superb in terms of user interface and replayability. I also really appreciated the spinoffs like Super Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon Picross. The lack of a third game really made it seem to short and easily forgettable to some

I've been playing this game and not even done and already kind of blown away at how so few talk about this. If this game isn't missing something it's soul. Maybe a battle frontier, but there's a lot more. And even though mega evolutions felt off in Kanto I think they fit into Hoenn a whole lot better. Idk there's a lot more to say, but it's good stuff.

Omg i found this in my old 3ds i have never once played this but still owned it for like 6 yrs

[@Legoluigi26]

Alpha Sapphire was my first Pokemon game, but I honestly forgot how much care was put into ORAS. I did so much in that game, from meeting my beloved Swampert Mudddy (I confused the enter key for backspace), constructing my first competetive teams to battle my friends on the bus, leveling up some of my most special pokemon to level 100, and completing the National Dex thanks to wonder trading (I clocked over 700 hours in the game, and half of that time must have been spent on wonder trade #WTW) and breeding an army of phione and cryogonal to dump on the GTS until I celebrated the acquisition of my final piece of the Pokedex (Ferrothorn) with a Google Plus post. Hooooo boy I was seriously rambling, but I just have so many memories with AS. I haven't even touched that game in years since I'm worried about messing up this perfect time capsule to my past. I'm on a Unova kick right now, but I'll have to find a copy of Omega Ruby and rediscover Hoenn all over again. So thanks, this video really brought me back.

[@mat4yovg342]

Our memories stay with us forever!!

[@jornsy2602]

Gen 6 is the generation I played the most by far. The wonder trade system brought a sense of risk, excitement and, well, WONDER. The graphics were beautiful, for the first time it felt more realistic than the anime. The national dex was a challenge to get, but with the new wonder trade and GTS system, was possible even with 1 cartridge of the game and 0 friends. Every aspect of this game was beautifully detailed. Just talking about it has made me want to replay it… so bye! Great video ahaha

Mat! I just started the video but your voice is gold! Hahaha its late and I'm feeling a little lost lately. The work you put into your videos has just been inspiring to me. If you see this, I think you should make more videos like these or videos on this channel in general if you come across the time. Best of luck keep it up! -Jibbston

I love ORAS so much. It was the last Pokémon game that wasn't catered to the casual fans. For context, I was 11 when the game came out, so I don't have the same appreciation as people who grew up with RSE. But the game was just so full of life. I only wish the game had character customisation. That was the biggest addition to X and Y that ORAS completely negated. It made no sense to introduce it only to remove it one game later.

Excellent job. I agree wholeheartedly

[@christianmckee2116]

I agree that ORAS feel like the most detailed Pokemon games. Despite some of their flaws (which I *largely* owe to the change in management around this time that would affect future games even more), I truly think that ORAS were the peak Pokemon main game experiences. Most features were perfected here, the gameplay is smooth and replayable, the Gen 6 engine makes Hoenn look incredible even today, the story is really entertaining, the music has been remastered beautifully, the postgame is massive and detailed, and the games take great advantage of the the 3DS's capabilities. I would say that ORAS are the last good games in the main series. They feel like the last games that the developers put a lot of their heart and soul into. ORAS, to me, feels like the end of Pokemon trying to reach its potential. It's sad that now it's a far cry from how it was in Gen 6 and earlier generations, but I'll never forget those times...

I went back to this game and discovered I had almost 800 hours on it. They were great

This game makes full use of the 3ds, I always felt like RPGs did so much with the second screen for the Nintendo DS and the 3DS did the same, the second screen really let you have neat little features like the PokeNav.

there's oodles of details I never even knew were in the game! and I remember spending lots of time going after all the legendaries and other things when I first got oras.

I found this video like super randomly, and I thought it was one of those videos with more than 400k views, I'm actually surprised that it doesn't have that much of views, love the video, now I like ORAS a lot more

[@mat4yovg342]

My heart! Thank you!

[@AuraleafStorm]

Gen 3 is where I started and to this day it's my personal favorite gen, and ORAS really is an excellent and underrated remake. I think if only they hadn't omitted the Battle Frontier, it would be considered the best remake in the series.

I'd love to see what your pal Kevin thinks of brilliant diamond and shining pearl those things arevthe most soulless things I've ever seen. And that's just an understatement.

[@themarxfromkirby]

[@ignitus3844]

Nostalgia hitting hard :')

[@tonyplaysguitar101]

This video made me so happy. I just watched a review that dumped on the game and it made me sad since I love these games!

[@Finxc]

Just finished the elite four and have had a blast so far! Excited for all the post game content :)

[@majd333333333]

ORAS are the best remakes in my opinion, the only criticism i see for these games is the lack of Battle Frontier, which i never even played or cared about.
