Yeah I'd really like this out of ORAS, and also with whatever the third version or sequels are to XY. I thought it was great in X and Y, all that time and stuff to do between the first and second gym, since afterwards it was very straightforward.I wish the distance between the first and second gym was the way the whole game was set up, with even more side stories and quests along the way. The gyms are always so bam bam champ its kind of dumb and takes away the value of earning a gym badge
I hope we get a difficulty selection too, selectable from the beginning. I don't imagine it would be too hard to implement.
