Yeah

I think I disagree with every opinion you guys have voiced right there.

The delta episode was lame.  All it really was was running back and forth here there then here then there again and oh look here have a rayquaza.  Not really worth being called an episode lol it literally took 10 minutes

Accurate. I was annoyed that I couldnt fight the elite four again until after this, too.

I liked the lore the Delta episode had, at least. I thought it was pretty good.

this. i just felt that it was just a big fetch quest for the most part. story was amazing, music was awesome, but the gameplay was seriously crippled due to the fact that you could just soar to places in seconds, which ended up making everything tedious and monotone.

fetch quest is the perfect phrase

Ok ok so here's a (pretty unnecessary) defense of Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's "Ending Theme" track. In addition to beginning and ending with--admittedly only about half of--the original game's end music, which tells the story of Brendan and May coming home after a long adventure, it also recaps the player's journey from beginning to end. Although the tracks in game are basically the original tracks verbatim, albeit with different sound quality, the ending theme is the first time we get to hear these themes played with for something new. My personal favorite is when the piano leads the Sootopolis music, but other ideas like Rustboro being given a bossa nova rhythm and feel and Fortree's relaxing heartwarming reprise are also really effective. Basically this track felt like a love letter to people who were in love with the original games. That's sort of why I love it so much.

In response to the music of the Delta Episode, Zinnia's themes "The Heirs to Eternity," "The Lament of Falling Stars," and "Battle! (Lorekeeper Zinnia)" are just AMAZING, aren't they? And it was neat reprising AZ's theme in the "AZOTH" track. Also, it made me surprised and stupidly happy to hear "Battle! (Deoxys)" given some new love after ten years.

I really think Pokémon benefits from the 3DS sound capabilities more than any other franchise.

I haven't bothered to actually do it yet and will probably just delay hearing it's just a genero tack on fetch quest, but I think game freak has never seen the letter delta because when that big nothing at all like a delta appeared I was like whoaaa bros you can get alpha and omega but not delta whats up with that

[JDMEK5]

I find it tough to nature Rayquaza/Deoxys because you have to catch them back2back. No break to restart, nope. Gotta get 'em both right in one shot. X(

[KefkaticFanatic]

You can KO Deoxys and encounter it again after you refight E4.  Probability of a good Rayquaza AND Deoxys stats + nature is crazy low so not worth playing that lottery imo..

Spoiler

there's a thing of the battle tower that says battle frontier to be completed soon.  So is it going to be in an emerald remake?  Were they just too lazy to put it in?

It could be DLC! But I REALLY REALLY REALLY want the battle frontier back! It was challenging and a lot of fun!

Well, now that I'm at the delta episode.

Spoiler

How hard is it to capture Rayquaza? Is it mandatory to progress the story?

[Nebbles]

Spoiler

It progresses the story, so Rayquaza wasn't very hard to capture.

I caught it in a Poké Ball.
