Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of the 2002 Generation 3 Pokemon games. ORAS effectively follows the same story as the originals, with some minor beats changed to suit new mechanics like Primal Reversion and XY’s mechanic of Mega Evolution. New mega evolution forms were added, and many are now staple additions that breathed life into deserving Pokemon like Mawile and Sableye. These games are also likely the deepest for shiny hunting in the series, with streamlined methods like Dex-Nav, Chain Fishing, and Horde Encountering making things less tedious than ever. Overall, ORAS are solid reimaginings of Hoenn and one of the higher points in the franchise.
