![]() ![]() ORAS mostly sticks to Pokémon of the Hoenn generation, though that changes once you beat it (you can always trade newer Pokémon into your copy of the game, too). While both ORAS and X & Y have newer Pokémon, X & Y features way more of them. If you played the original Ruby and Sapphire, thought they were just OK, and you are ready to experience something completely new, I’d go with X & Y. You’ll find a lot of familiar things in ORAS, but the entire experience has been improved - and you get to share your love for the games with a ton of new players who won’t say things like “this game has too much water” to you. If you’ve played the original Ruby and Sapphire, and felt they were given a bad rap, try Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The Eon Flute lets you ride Latias and Latios! If you’re a more grounded type of person, X & Y might be your best bet - you can ride Pokémon on land instead. If you like the idea of soaring in the sky while riding a Pokémon, I’d go with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. If nothing else, X & Y feels like a more cohesive game, at least in terms of theme. The Kalos region will be more to your liking, even if its depiction of France can be a bit cartoonish. If you like the idea of adventuring around a big city like Paris, France, I’d go with X & Y. You get a sense of what made Pokémon what it is today, with few of the drawbacks that the original games had. They’re not remakes, but they do take a lot of inspiration from those games. If you’re curious about what made the original Red and Blue so great, but you don’t actually want to bust out a Game Boy to find out, I’d go with X & Y. If you want to capture all legendaries, however, you’re going to have to get both ORAS and X & Y. If you’re a collector, I’d go with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, since they feature an absurd number of legendary Pokémon. You get all of the improvements to the franchise, and all the cool new features, without any Red and Blue pandering. If you have no nostalgia, or if you hate the original Pokémon games, I’d go with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire instead. You track them down, and creep up to them! You don’t just go into random battle with them. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have stuff that’s completely new, too - like cosplay Pikachu the DexNav, which allows you to capture special Pokemon in a cool way. You also get some unique features from the older games (like having the ability to create a secret base, or experiencing version-specific villains). You get all the cool features of modern Pokémon games - like the ability to pet your Pokémon, and robust multiplayer options, which let you battle, trade and connect with other players with ease. If you’re a new player… I’d recommend Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. But, there are differences, too! And depending on what you’re looking for, you might like one game better than the other. The question makes sense: at first glance, both ORAS and X & Y seem to have the same features, which makes choosing between them look difficult. This is something I’ve been asked heaps lately, with the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Except there are technically two new Pokémon games. So you’re interested in a new Pokémon game. ![]()
