Cons
Con Very reliant on HMs
Later Pokemon games rely less on HMs (moves that can be taught to Pokemon in order to advance the games story), which means more room to have powerful moves on your equipped Pokemon. Being heavily reliant on them in Omega Ruby means many Pokemon or at least on will have to use up their valuable move slots to have moves that are only really useful to get past obstacles in the game.
Con large learning curve
The game requires users to build most of their own equipment, which works mainly through trial and error. While there are more explanations than in the past, it is a lot of text to read and overall can make for a daunting experience learning the ins and outs of creating equipment.
