Thoughts?

I'd buy it

I don't know why it says new adventure and a new region in the trailer. It's sounding like a sequel. I guess I'm cool with that, because it's an older game. But I never got Black or White 2.

I didn't have the Advance games, so I'm sure I'll get one of them.

"Satoru Iwata confirmed that Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are full-remakes of the 2002 releases, Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire."

From http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

My friend told me about this. I never played the original Ruby and Sapphire, considering I had stopped play Pokemon after the 1st gen games. I didn't get back into Pokemon until Firered and Leafgreen, and then Soulsilver. Nevertheless, I can imagine it will have great potential, since I really enjoyed Heartgold and Soulsilver.

This thread is a few months old...

But they announced...

God, those look absolutely rancid.

You forgot one that was featured earlier:

Most Mega evolutions are terrible, I wonder if they'll survive to Gen VII counting you can't have items in Pokemon Box and I don't see people trying to get all the Mega Stones again. Wouldn't really care if they're dropped even if not all of them were terrible.

I wasn't planning to get this game on launch since I haven't even finished Pokemon X/Y but I guess I will since they are giving a shiny metagross with the megastone away in the first few weeks and I'll buy the game eventually. I still regret all the event Pokemon I missed from Black/White and B/W2 just because I didn't buy the games until later and at the same price...

I still don't get why Mega-Evolutions were created either. They should have just been alternate new evo's for pokemon, like how Politoed was a new alternate compared to Poliwrath.

Apparently they leaked Mega Slowbro and Mega Audino on the Korean website but the pics were taken down.

Mega Slowbro is still Water/Psychic with the ability Shell Armor.
Mega Audino is the first Gen 5 Mega Pokemon. It now has the Normal/Fairy type with the ability Healer.

LOOK INTO MEGA SLOWBRO'S FACE. THAT IS THE FACE OF A GUY WHO HAS SEE SOME STUFF.

Mega Slowbro amuses me but makes me a little sad that it wasn't Mega Slowking. Poor Slowking, he's lived in Slowbro's shadow his whole existence!

And he could use pants!

My god. Those are just...awful. I hope Mega Evolution goes away for the next proper sequel.

Well that Mega Evolution thing didn't take long to become completely terrible.

GUYS NO THIS IS THE BEST ONE:

They're ALREADY starting to become parodies of themselves and I love it. I'm gonna name mine Nano.

We have crossed the event horizon of Pokemon design.

I thought it was Klefki. I was wrong.

The first time I saw Klefki I actually shut my 3DS and walked out of the room for like 15 minutes in disbelief.

Mega Klinklang isn't real.

Oh what, it's not? THAT'S HEARTBREAKING.

Uh-huh.

A response like that makes it really hard to believe that you didn't know from the beginning.

Uh, what. I thought it was real, that's why I posted it.

So the special demo is a different "side story"? And can I transfer the Pokemon I catch to it to the full version?


since I guess this will become the new "Pokemon general" thread in the drome. Anyone a bit disappointed with Pokemon Box? Everytime I use it I am perplexed by how basic and non-user friendly it is in some things, heck it doesn't even support the touch screen and it can be kind of clunky. I thought that by now they would have upgraded it a bit but there's no thing about it, maybe it wasn't the success Nintendo expected it to be? I say that because you don't even see "Pokemon Box' support for ORAS being advertised as a feature which they raved about in X/Y. I'm sure ORAS will support Box but it just feels odd that they don't promote it anymore. The application has a ton of possibilities so I hope Nintendo invests more money on it.

Talking about Nintendo not supporting their "apps", I'm also disappointed Pokedex 3D hasn't gotten an X/Y update, its been over a year since X/Y came out so there's no excuse, especially since X/Y used the same 3D models from the app so it wouldn't be hard to get the new Kalos Pokemon into the app.

And does anyone need a Shiny Gengar code? www.gameplanet.com emails you the code for one if you sign up, I think in the US it wasn't as easy to get.

The only Pokemon you would be able to tranfer to the full version is the Glalie with the Mega-Stone...

The demo sealed the deal for me. I ll be getting Sapphire, my bro will be getting Ruby.

I still don't know why they changed Brendan and May's names to Orlando and Anna.

Wait, that happened? That's... odd.

I am very looking forward to this game. Though I'll be honest, there are an awful lot of Mega Evolutions. I really do like the Mega Evolutions of Beedrill and Rayquaza.

I'm not bothered by the amount of them. It makes previously unusable Pokémon viable again, and gives people some serious choices to make when constructing teams. I'm all for any mechanics they can introduce that make online battling more than just fighting the same few monsters all the time.

Honestly, I think that there name change is for placeholder reasons only... same thing happen with X & Y.

I'm looking forward to these remakes. I never got into X and lost interest in Pokemon after that, but I liked the original Hoenn games, so I'll be getting Sapphire for nostalgia reasons. Also, I'm glad that Secret Bases are back and it'll be nice to see Hoenn in 3d.

I forgot all about secret bases! Those were fun. At the moment I'm not very hyped about these games, but I've already pre-ordered Alpha Sapphire and I'm sure that I'll need to change my pants once I actually start playing it. :lol:

I really don't know what to do about this game.

I'm planing a big travel to Japan next summer, monster hunter 4 is coming out in Europe next spring and I have already played the original Ruby and Emerald in my GBA when they first came out.

Does it really make sense to spend 45€ just for playing with the new forms of a few pokemon, when I already got the complete National Dex in Pokemon Y?

HEY, WHO ELSE GOT DIS GAME?

I wasn't one of those people super excited about it [tbh I treated it as Just Another Release when it was first revealed] but re-watching that opening for the first time in years was definitely a blow to the emotions.

****in' stupid game made me cry I GOT MY ORIGINAL SAPPHIRE VERSION STOLEN FROM ME I EVEN GAVE MY TRAINER THE SAME STUPID NAME MY KID-SELF GAVE HIM

*raises hand*

Went to the midnight release. :tcool: Unfortunately, though, I still have yet to even turn it on because of f*ckin' math homework I had to finish for today...so I haven't seen the new intro. It'll have that same effect on me, no doubt.

Me and three buds are going to Japan this coming year so I need to get back into pokemon to get back into the tourist mentality. Maybe I will toss pokeballs at stray animals :P

Well, I'm weak.

45€ for a remake seem too much for give, even more given that I have the full dex in Pokemon Y and that it grings my gears that there's no compativility between last two games, but I finnaly felt to the epicness of Gen III and got Pokemon Ruby with my girl picking Shappire.

Now for the good news: with the new DexNav feature you can enjoy some cool bonus I was able to take advantage of


How are you enjoying the game this far?
Pretty much the expected remake for me, but the story is so good and I'm digging the color pallet way more than in X/Y, all look more vivid and brilliant here.

I will be getting Sapphire for Christmas as I got the original Sapphire eleven years ago. My younger brother decided not to get this generation of Pokémon games this time around. The problem is we used to start one of the games over until we both had a fire and a grass type starter for us to go along with the water one we chose in the actual game we played so I will only have a water starter this go with just the one version to mess with. How does this internet trade thing work so I can get the fire and water starter at the beginning as well?

You can do that pretty easy if you've got Pokemon X/Y and the Box, but that's assuming you have all that.
