Well the rockets certainly didn't have magic nukes and tragic death filled backstories at the least

The Past 6 games(BW/B2/W2/XY) have broken the "Pokemon Mold"

Where did XY break the "mold"?

Sixty-some new Pokémon? That's small, but not mold-breaking-worthy. Villains that knock over houses? Rocket had no qualms about breaking into them. Introduction of a new type? Generation 2, baby. Mega Evolution? New game mechanics have been thrown into the game for years. Double battles, tag battles, triple battles, rotation battles, Arceus and the crazy plate stuff. 3D graphics? It's an upgrade to match the new system.

The only mold I can think of for all six games mentioned, and the only one that would be relevant to any theoretical "Delta Emerald," is that neither Gen 5 nor Gen 6 got a "third edition" akin to Blue (in Japan; the US received two versions of the "third-version" to start with), Crystal, Emerald, or Platinum.  Gen 5 went the sequel route, and Gen 6 hasn't finished yet, but the release of ORAS before any theoretical Z or "X2/Y2" is unusual.

Much like FR/LG before Emerald?

Yeah, only Platinum had the remakes after the 3rd version. RS had the remakes before the third.

[Culise]

Oh, is that so?  Heh, it's been so long, I had mixed up the release order.  Sorry. ^_^

[RekkaAtsuma]

It's Rekka. He misses every joke.

Correction: "It's Rekka. They usually don't like to joke around."

Oh so in all the games we fight the regional professor not once but twice and get our first pokemon before EVER meeting ANY professor or their assistant as well as we meet the professor/their assistant only after getting our first badge?
(XY trevor and tierno {who give the starter and the pokedex} aren't the professor's assistants, but rather like the Player, Rival and Shauna they are his "Pupils", which in that context is another term for student, not assistant)

Looks like I'll just have to compile a list for you obviously oblivious folk...wont I?

----------------------------
Anyways I think I'm gonna hold off actually playing X until I have ORAS in hand, transfer over all my keeps, and restart X so as to farm some Mega Stones.

So... a minor story difference?

That's nothing. The Sandgem Lab started the "lab not in home town" trend; you also technically get your starter before meeting Rowan, too. Extra rivals with different titles? RSE had opposite gender PC and Wally. Red and Green were originally set to have you fight Oak, too.

[Aklyon]

This is sounding less like 'things that broke the mold' and more "Things people forgot happened previously" now.

* Culise picks up and quietly sets the discussion in a disused corner before returning to completing the Pokedex

Just caught my second shiny pokemon, a Tentacruel. My first shiny pokemon? A Tentacruel. Sigh.

[umiman]

Heh, is one of them at least viable for battling? Tentacruel is a pretty good pokemon to have on a team. He's one of my top ten most annoying pokemon.

1. Sableyewannafuckhimupsomuch
2. Gliscor the "I hope you have ice beam" bastard
3. Liepard the ragequit-machine
4. Vivillon the permasleep dance dance revolution
5. Gorebyss the baton pass of doom
6. Tentacruel 100% burn chance scald lucker noob
7. Jirachi permahax
8. Breloom the "I hope you have grass type" bastard
9. Cresselia will never die
10. Machamp of the great school of confusion

[Urist Imiknorris]

No Whimsicott?

[Reudh]

No Whimsicott?

Whimsicott was mega-annoyance in early Gen 5, but it fell pretty swiftly in usage stats once people realise how easy it was to counter, especially now there's more Magic Bouncers around.

[umiman]

Ya.

Not to mention there are so many prankster users now.

If I were to rate on more annoying, I think the level 1 Cottonee with leech seed, substitute, and focus sash is more annoying.
