It is, after all these years, still the generation that gave the world Luvdisc (but also Salamence, Metagross, and Mudkip).īeing remakes, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can't help but reflect some of the weaknesses of their source material. It is at once really good and one of Pokémon's weakest generations. Game Freak's third set of remakes, which follow in the footsteps of Fire Red and Leaf Green on the Game Boy Advance and Heart Gold and Soul Silver on the Nintendo DS, bring the series back to its somewhat awkward adolescent-the period between when it was a full-blown fad and when it evolved into something more mature and sustainable. As such, it's been an interesting trip back to a Pokémon generation that is equal parts revered and maligned by fans. I was in college back when the original games were released, and my memories of them are still vivid. With Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, I have officially come full circle.
