Ok, so I'm going to make this a long rant, feel free to reply and post your opinions on it.
First let me commence with the beginning. Ok, I started playing Pokemon ORAS about 3 months ago, (I know I was late but whatever), Ocarina of Time was calling me to play it first. And when I do, first of all I fell in love with the new 3D graphics and the 3D cutscene/battle display. But THEN 20 something hours into it, maybe more, I decided to finally test out the online features available. And this is what I found:
EVERYONE IS CHEATING, and those that are not want to find out How!?!?
I when online to search for Pokemons, I had a Lotad and wanted to get a Seedot, but then I see people asking for stuff like Arceus Level 100, Mewtwo, Genesect (with text reading for 'shiny' please) and I'm like -_-
So inevitably I ended up losing my interest in the game. . . and resorting to using PKHex, giving myself a Waaay better team than I had before + acquiring items I though I'd never have more than 1 of.
Mind you I had already placed like 30 hours into the game and felt like I've accomplished so much (even though I had only 3 gym badges and and caught more than 50 Pokemon) but whatever . . . the point is.
Hackers Have DESTROYED Pokemon Online!!!!
I know this has existed since the dawn of Gameshark, and Powersave but how did you first feel when you discovered this? It doesn't have to pertain to ORAS, and could be from a previous Pokemon game.
No ones got 200 hours to go hunting for Shiny Shaymins! so I made one in just 2
*****EDIT******
This rant isn't long enough, I need to add more. I mean I just felt so *disenchanted* with Pokemon once I discovered you could acquire everything much easier through illegitimate means.
I still love my first 50 or so Pokemons I've acquired regularly FAR more than the new 'badass' battle ready ones I've hacked, but I find the game so pointless now, like story mode doesn't interest me no where near as much as it did before. Like I haven't even bothered making a secret base that I feel comfortable building a gym yet.
