Pokémon: Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire (3DS) Retrospective | Swinging for the Fences
Ойындар
What a leap- Red and Blue transitioned to their remakes through color and pixel density, Gold and Silver had huge leaps- 3D assets, far richer color palettes, but Ruby and Sapphire's transition comes via a jump to full 3D- for better and for worse. Launching on the 3DS in 2014, we got Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire- full Hoenn remakes, taking the basic world and story of Hoenn and kinda just… scribbling all over the page, coloring outside the lines, and going to some interesting and baffling places. FireRed and LeafGreen played it way too safe, really only deviating from the originals in minor ways until the short and mediocre Sevii Isles, and while HeartGold and SoulSilver had a mountain of extra content, a vast majority of it, sans an intro to the Safari Zone, a little bit of carryover from Crystal, and the Pokeathlon was sealed in Kanto- the Legendary Hunt, rematches, most Gen 4 evolutions- Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are strictly adherent in some regards, ignoring the existence of Emerald entirely until the post-game, encounter tables that while slightly more generous, in the sense that 1% encounters are mostly eliminated, are almost identical to before, routes being completely unchanged so as not to take any advantage of the 3rd dimension the game is built around, but simultaneously fly off the rails frequently and at random- Maxie and Archie get huge reinventions, Mauville is redesigned, Southern Island becomes an integral plot beat, and a mountain of changes to the later stages of the villain storyline that directly lead to the game going off the rails with new encounters and content- it's nearly schizophrenic with how hard it bounces back and forth between the extremes of being faithful in excess to suddenly being a whole new game. Some changes, mechanics, and features are fantastic- others are quite the opposite- it's a truly fascinating specimen either way, as it bounces between a remake and a complete reimagining on a while.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a review of ORAS that was almost unreasonably long (in a good way), I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

Double edge sword of a new NTMA Pokemon Retrospective video finally coming out to enjoy but then knowing you gotta wait at least a few months for the next one.
This is going to consume my attention for the next few days
So cool to see these videos still going, man. I've watched every single one.
I can't wait to watch this, thank you for making this video!!
Could you put all your retrospectives in a playlist so I can have them on to go to sleep to please 😁
Got recommended this during work and it was great, loved it and saw you have another one for RSE so thats next. Hope your channel gets recommended to others too

I also have RBGY, FRLG, LGPE, GSC, AND HGSS (so far) :) I appreciate it!
I started Pokémon with Ruby and sapphire, played platinum, and then never looked at the series again until ORAS got announced. I remember I convinced my mom to get me the omega ruby edition of the 2ds. We had to ship it in from New Zealand to the US so it’s region locked but I couldn’t care less. I was up till 3 am for 3ish nights straight catching all the Pokémon I could, exploring hoenn again, and trying to trade online for version exclusives, I have such fond memories of these games. Still one of my favorite winter breaks of all time.
I put this video on to fall asleep but i ended up listening to the whole thing. Thank you please make more!

Oras is by far the best 3ds pokemon game and the best UI in all the games
I took a nap and woke up to a banger holy
Just got done listening to this after a few sessions, really great video! I actually forgot entirely about some little bits of info you added, like the Day Care at the Resort Makes me wanna go back and play more ORAS soon

Shoutout to Deoxys for being the first Mythical Pokémon to be legitimately catchable in-game without special events or glitches; a trend that continued in SwSh, L:A, and SV. …too bad it’s now banished to the PoGo dimension if you didn’t shill out for Pokémon Home before Pokémon Bank shut down.

USUM also had Magearna via QR Code! Not catchable, but obtainable, permanently, forever, not to mention Legends Arceus making everyone available, with some caveats. Deoxys was a real trailblazer.
Wow wanted to go sleeping bro... ah eff it that can wait.! Can´t wait til Diamond Pearl and Platinum retrospective😍 those were my last pokemon games on handheld until i got to play again. Since 2021 i played like 7 or 8 games on the 3ds lol.

@@kdburner7356 I'm fairly split, although I lean Sapphire- Kyogre is way cooler than Groudon imo, and Ludicolo and Sableye are both very fun Pokemon in usage and design, plus some of the ones added like Clauncher and Dialga, but admittedly, Ruby has some crazy exclusives this time around with Ho-Oh, and Archen. Also Sapphire (the original) was my childhood game alonside Crystal :)
So Kyurem is not exclusive, you actually need The other Dao dragon for it to even wanna appear, like Giritina who you correctly omitted from the exclusive screen
Well. Here we go again.

i just have to ask why you feel compelled to include comments about competitive when you clearly aren't invested in it? you claimed that landorus incarnate is worse than therian? you mean the forme that's banned in every singles format? you clearly weren't talking about vgc where intimidate does carry therian to higher viability than incarnate because you mentioned setting up rocks, a play that's essentially singles exclusive. this is far from your only comment about competitive that's dubious to say the least. you don't sound like you enjoy the concept of competitive, so again, why even bother mentioning it?

@ntmaproductions You dunderhead. It wasn't a compliment. You don't go over every new system mechanic in the first 5 minutes of the video. You don't read off a script like it's a Wikipedia article. You don't just put up irrelevant gameplay footage as you read off your script. Listen, making a video is hard. If you don't have the time and patience to be thoughtful for the footage you use in a video, make a podcast, book, or audio book. A KZread video is a different medium and should be treated as such. You also need to pick up on social ques. Again, my original comment wasn't complimenting you.

@ntmaproductions Again, you're lacking any semblance of being a human being capable of have regular discourse with another human being. Feedback is for you to listen to, receive, and consider if any changes need to be done. Based up on the thousands of likes my comment has, we can safely agree I am in the majority opinion here. For you to so brazenly disregard this honest feedback is a shame and disservice to your fans. I genuinely hope you realize after each video you upload gets downvoted to oblivion you'll see it's not your viewers who are a bunch of lovers, but rather you, failing to make reasonable adjustments for the viewer.
