Finally... After 3000 years...!
I've been waiting for such a long time, it almost feels unreal to finally have this game in my hands. But it's been well worth it!
I haven't finished the game yet, but after playing the Groudon climax yesterday I felt like drawing my two favourite "evil" guys in the whole franchise.
(Is it weird that I care more for them than even for Steven friggin' Stone? XD)
Anyway, let me share my thoughts:
Pro:
+ Hoenn looks marvellous on the 3DS!
+ Secret bases are better than ever!
+ Minor characters like Brendan/May, TM/TA admins or Wally are given a bigger role
+ Both you and your rival have a sound family and it FEELS like a family as well
+ There are countless background infos and funny trivia hidden in the game (especially in the sunken ship and the TM/TA hideout)
+ FLYING WITH LATIOS/LATIAS IS AWESOME
+ Game confirms the ages of several people (Prof. Birch, Mr Stone, Mr Briney, Steven, etc...)
+ The Hoenn News are amazing!
+ Interesting new characters
+ Underwater passages look LOVELY!
+ The whole mega evo crap wasn't that important to the storyline.
+ Awesome feature for finding Pokémon with cool moves etc.
+ The loony bin (aka the Trick House) is back!
+ Contests are actually enjoyable and fun this time and also have some cute cutscenes
+ The music remixes are fantastic! (All hail the trumpets)
+ The new music in the game is surprisingly awesome as well!
+ A lot of ways to travel fast.
+ The Delta Episode is pretty interesting (even though a lot of things don't make any sense)
+ TM and TA actually behave like different groups now. (In RS they were mostly the same with slightly changed dialogues)
+ Game proved that Maxie is in fact the bigger dork of the two leaders!(Seriously, when I first defeated him, I was not prepared for this ridiculous Ace Attorney-like breakdown! I literally laughed for two minutes straight before I was even able to comprehend what I had just witnessed. XDDDDD)
Con:
- You have to take HM slaves with you EVERYWHERE!
- 7.8/10 "Too much water." - IGN XDD But seriously, I wouldn't even mind the long water routes that much if you could actually do more stuff there.
- Training is too easy, even if you don't use the Exp. Share or Amie (same problem as in XY)
- Catching Pokémon is WAY too easy (same problem as in XY)
- The remakes were based on the (storywise) flawed R/S and not on Emerald. (Even though I admit it would have been hard to make two versions of a game like this)
- Gymleaders and trainers have their crappy teams from RS and not the slightly better teams from E
- Where is Juan? ;A; (Also wtf Wallace?! X'DD)
- Where is the Battle Frontier?
That's all I'm able to come up with right off the bat.
So, what are your ORAS experiences? Feel free to share your thoughts with me!

I absolutely love the ORAS 'evil' duo. Archie and Maxie are such fun characters!
