I’m aware. Tell that to my 2017/18 self who was desperate for more Pokémon games lol.
I know ORAS didn’t have the Emerald content. It makes me sad, but I still fully accept it.
I take it you're a relatively younger fan that was not around for FRLG and HGSS then? Because I think most of the people that were used to older remakes never would've expected that in the first place. I did hear a few people here and there talk about wanting a WaterBlue version but it never materialized, and HGSS was too busy knocking it out of the park with Crystal content and so much more for anyone to say they wanted a Crystal remake. So after that point I think most of us felt we had a pretty good idea of what to expect from a remake and I don't think the thought of a Delta Emerald releasing even crossed our minds, most of us just expected ORAS to handle the Emerald content like HGSS did with Crystal.
Yeah, 6th gen was a sad time all around, it feels like a string of disappointments and missed opportunities and what we were left with felt mediocre. Even I never completely got over XY remaining a relatively barren game with almost no extra content, no third version or sequel to flesh it out, and ORAS not having Emerald content. Every time I look back to 6th gen all I can think about is what might've been because what we actually got didn't impress me much.
