The Delta Episode
So in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, after defeating the champion you can start the Delta Episode. For those of you who don't know, the Delta Episode is a side quest that involves stopping a meteorite on a collision course with the planet. What are your thoughts on the Delta Episode? Did you enjoy it? Would you like to see similar episodes in future games? Discuss! |
Ah, the Delta Episode, what an epic episode it was ^^ I thought it was really neat to see something like this in a Pokemon game--it's really unique and not quite like anything we've seen in a Pokemon game so far. Zinnia is a great character, it was really cool going into space, and the battle with Deoxys is epic!
My one criticism would be that it's a little too dialog heavy, and there's a little too much running around from one place to another just to go through one dialog to another. But that's made pretty easy with soaring and the Eon Flute, so it's not a huge criticism. I'd love to see something else like it in future games! |
The only problem I had was after you caught Deoxys. The guy at the space center asked you to gather more research on Deoxys. Couldn't be done. As for the episode itself. To me if was a bit short.
|
Short, but very sweet and enjoyable than looker on XY.
|
I actually liked the Delta Episode. It was short, but it was really fun going on a goose chase. Then again, mess with Rayquaza, and you are already dead.
|
i just finished the delta episode last night. i thought it would be way longer, but it was cute. ester!
|
Like Jinx said, the Delta Episode was short but it was great to see an actual story unfold in the postgame for a change. It was what wanted to keep me playing until that bad corruption that hit me.

I thought it was great until Deoxys struggled and died before I caught it, and I realized I hadn't saved in three hours.
|
It is nice and short, but not great. I prefer a post-game content rather than a post-game story.
|
It was awesome. My favorite part was the music when you go to space. Every time I play OR/AS I always look forward to the music. I hope they add more stuff like this. Make the games a bit longer. The fact that most pokemon games take 10 hours to beat is crazy. They should take a page from games like Glazed and Zeta/Omicron that take over 24 hours just to beat the story.
When I played Glazed my game time at the end was 26hours I believe. On Zeta my game time after the story was over 30. I wish GameFreak would make a game with two regions. |

On the thing about not being able to save, that does really suck. |
Ughhh I hate Zinnia. She's easily one of my least favorite characters in the entire Pokémon franchise. Such an obnoxious and overbearing character, the Delta Episode would have been much more enjoyable if they had a different character. Plus there was the flaw of Rayquaza and Deoxys being back-to-back fights. I think it was a really cool concept to add for post-game, but it felt so rushed and really just ugh.

It was... fun enough. A bit short and dialogue heavy as other people have said, and I would have liked a way to remind you what your next goal in the Delta Episode was (as I left the game partway through the Delta Episode and returned months later with no memory of what to do), but it was good overall.

I remember pretty much sacrificing sleep just to finish this godawfully short but still sweet segment of the postgame. This delta episode made me see that the future pokemon game(s) can have the potential for some more in-depth post-game segments to help extend the game's lifespan. ORAS delta episode, I loved every minute of it.
It got me thinking though, Delta Episode.... DLC... Yep, DLC Episodes for the post-game. While that may sound like a money-grubbing corporate cash-in that many other companies might think about (coughcoughME3coughAsuraswrath) its a bizarre idea that popped into my head after experiencing it, DLC post-game content in a pokemon game. |
I honestly thought it was pretty annoying and up to a certain point a little confusing. Very winded and so much backstory being crammed into a short side quest that had you running back and forth after this apparently unstoppable, random little girl trolling everyone in her path.

Far too short and not that interesting to be considered a good addition to the game
At least it gives you a Rayquaza though. |
Despite the hype about it, the Delta Episode plays through a bit short, but at least I felt it was fun. I, too, wasn't too crazy about having to battle two legendaries in a row (would be even worse if Rayquaza's catch rate was still 3 in ORAS, and you completely ran out of capture balls or lost all of your Pokémon trying to catch it), but hey, they say save your Master Ball for the ultimate Pokémon (in this case, Deoxys). Zinna was borderline annoying, especially when having to climb the Sky Pillar.
I, too, prefer post-game content to a storyline (though exploring Kanto in the Johto-based games was a storyline, there was much more to it than going through the Delta Episode.) |
