These two games greatly surpass the main series of Gen 6 games. Introducing Fairy Types, Mega Evolution, and multiple changes from updated teams, new Pokemon, and the new Delta Episode. Now I played this because of Pokemon Legends A-Z. It is a turn based RPG and customizing your team, but there are some things in this game that were advertised as new, but actually existed in spin off games. Soaring an ability exclusive to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire was introduced in Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs as was riding Pokemon a mechanic that would later be put into Gen 7.

There are a few things this game did right that the Kalos games didn’t. The first a lot of the environments are amazing and look good. Even though it is a remake of a Gameboy Advance game it feels new with new cutscenes and characters stand out and are more fleshed out than before. This game doesn’t feel like a one to one remake like Fire red/ Leaf green and Brilliant Diamond/Shining Peral did. It feels like a new game on its own and trying to fix the mistakes from X and Y as well. Also if playing all of these Gen 6 games did anything it made me want to replay Sun, Moon and the Ultra games again so look forward to a review on those.

Score: 9/10
