Omega Ruby and Alpha Saphire are missing a couple things from the X and Y series.

The lack of character customisation is a bit of a downer, but I'm more annoyed by the fact that they didn't think to combine the functions of the 2 different bikes. (or at least let the player carry both in their inventory.)



Maybe I am captcha, maybe I am...

You can get both bikes if you do a sidequest

I liked them because it introduced a running option that didn't require you to hold down B while also not being unwieldy like the bike.

I prefer the way they did it in Heart Gold And Soul Silver where running was controlled by an on off button at the touchscreen.

Agreed, automatic running in soul silver was a godsend, and i realy wondered why the didn't keep it for the sequels, i hate the fact that so many games require you to press a button to run, the b button on my dslite certainly was overburdened and eventualy came loose (that console was far too fragile).

Yup I miss character customization too. Game Freak said that it was unique to Kalos because it was there to accentuate the "European" feel of the game as with the roller skates. Doesn't explain not being able to choose your skin colour but perhaps that at least is just because it's supposed to be the same character as from the original RS. I'm hoping that since character customization in general was so popular that it does make it into future versions of the game regardless of what has been said. It was a damn cool feature.
