"As many know, my roots with the series run deep. That doesn't mean Pokémon is beyond criticism for me, though. I thought Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 were a collective atrocity, and I’ve seen numerous flaws across all the games as I’ve played them...including Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. But reviewing a remake isn’t about resurfacing the flaws of a game released in 2003. Without further ado, here’s everything that makes Pokémon Omega Ruby new and noteworthy."
Hardcore Gamer: It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten to see characters from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Years ago the release of Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby were a big hit. Most recently however, you could battle leaders of Team Aqua and Team Magma in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. So, maybe that’s why a couple of new 3DS themes are being released.
App Trigger: "Much of the magic of the original Pokemon games centered around how we played with others. For Pokemon Switch, a new approach is needed."
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.
