The Elite Four are always Pokemon’s pinnacle brawlers, dishing out themed teams that are built to push you to the limit, and this hasn’t changed with Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. With these remakes, the Pokemon lineups haven’t really changed too significantly from their original counterparts, but with new mechanics, items, and even types thrown into the mix, there are definitely more strategies afloat. Before you enter, make sure your Pokemon’s levels are at least in the mid-50s. If you can’t manage that, stock up on plenty of Revives and Full Restores. You’ll need it.
From Nintendo Life: "It's time to dust off your 3DS and your copy of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, because people have been reporting that their cartridges are no longer working, almost seven years after the release of the game.
A few people on Reddit and ResetEra are making sure to test their copies, and it seems like only the PAL version is affected, although it's not clear what might have caused the issue yet."
15 years after Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire’s release in the west, Jordan Ramée explores why Game Freak broke away from the connected narrative established in Kanto and Johto, why Generation III feels so different from those that came before it, and how Ruby and Sapphire revolutionized the Pokémon franchise forever.
After pouring hundreds of hours over 10 years into the beloved Pokemon series, Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee’s time with it might be coming to an end, he writes.
TL;DR:
"I don't want to buy a Switch, The Pokemon Company is obviously developing Pokemon games for the Switch, so I am no longer going to play Pokemon."
There. That's basically everything in two sentences.
