Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are more along the lines of what people likely wanted out of the Diamond and Pearl remakes. These are beefy reimaginings that riff on the original Ruby and Sapphire by making them feel decidedly modern. This includes the visual update that shifts over to 3D models and environments comparable to X and Y, implementing mechanics like Mega Evolution, and adding a pretty dense post-game storyline called the Delta Episode, which manages to add major players in the Hoenn like Rayquaza and Deoxys into the story in a meaningful way. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are solid revamps of already great games, and revisiting them now just makes Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl’s relative restraint sting all the more.
