Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire

[Chary]

Contest! Frontier! Trumpets! Ahh, open the nostalgia floodgates!

And to continue the celebration, I share with you a little piece I made a while ago, it was done before X/Y got announced, it's one of my favorite tunes of the game; I used Black/White soundfonts.

even if this is just a remake, i will gladly hand over the cash for it. and i will be getting omega ruby seeing that when i was younger i got sapphire and then emerald so i am changing it up.

 

[Tomy Sakazaki]

I'll place my bet that this is going to be "only" a remake of Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald (like HeartGold and SoulSilver were G/S+Crystal remakes).
And it is only that is angry with the fact that the japanese and european version boxes are going to be red or blue while the americas version is going to have only the standard white box?

I'm extremely excited at the news, a dream come true, literally was talking with friends about this possibility just a few days ago as I never got into Gen 3 at the time of its release.

However I wish they saved the announcement for E3. Would be so much more crazy if it was added into that milieu, though I suppose they'll probably show the first gameplay trailer there.

But now everyone will be hyped for Nintendo's E3, there was little to be hyped about E3 before it.

Time for another Gotta Catch 'Em All Again! Back to the Future Past!

Man I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and I'm sure im not the only one.

...

Play a few battles on a Gen 3 GBA game. Do it with something OP and one-sided, like an evolved starter against the fodder in the first route. See how quickly you could tap through it.

Now try doing the same thing with any Gen 4 game, or 5 game.

The forced amount of wait that you have to endure for each button press is the input lag that I am talking about. There is another definition for input lag primarily concerning displays, but I can't think of a better or more appropriate word for it than that, because it concerns the same thing - how long it takes for the game to process your input, do your commands in a battle and let you get on with it. It was never fully addressed, and honestly it seemed like Nintendo was actively ignoring the issue. I'm wiling to wager that if they did, my completed save file of Black 2 could have shaved off at least 30 hours of playtime, easily; 60 realistically, and up to 100 hours of time optimistically. The fact that it seems like they are actively trying to slow battles down as much as possible is ridiculous, when the more well regarded Final Fantasies ( 4 & 6, specifically ) as well as other jRPG's do all this fine tuning to make battles finish as quickly as possible because they know it would drive their players nuts if they had to spend so much time on every single battle to grind up. And Pokemon is the single most grind-tastic franchise this side of World of Warcraft, so that really needs to be addressed, like two generations ago.

Spoiler

Speculation time:

1. It could be a spiritual sequel with the remnants of Team Aqua and Magma changing their names to Alpha and Omega. Team (A)qua and team (M)agma for (A)lpha and O(M)ega!
2. Since Both Groudon and and Kyogre have their respective Greek letters on their bodies, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Rayquaza = Omicron or Theta.
3. What if Pokemon Contests have animation so it's like your watching an episode?
4. Alpha and Omega are Greek Letters. Alpha = A, Omega = Z.... AZ CONFIRMED FOR HOENN

Yea most likely, but speculation is WAYY more fun then being a realist.

I've been awaiting this for an extremely long time now. By far the best generation of Pokemon (Ok, the second behind gen 2).
The last sets of pokemon games I enjoyed were the SS/HG games. B/W and X/Y were really over-hyped for such a weak return. The games were boring and dull. X/Y focused way too much on trying to utilise the 3DS features and left out the amazing gameplay.

Shiny Rayquaza, I'll be hunting you down!

Shh let the poketards tire themselves out with their retarded theories.

 

[Yumi]

Wow, this is pretty cool. I'm so late, but yep I am excited for this. Definitely added to my list to play soon.
The only pokemon games i enjoyed was Blue and Saphire. I keep reading about X/Y being something new, like mega evolution. Lol
So, I think this is neat

 

[CompassNorth]

Alpha Sapphire for me it is.

 

[anhminh]

Do you ever wonder why GW named their next FW Omega and put red flame on it?
inb4 GW Alpha with online support.

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ RAISE YOUR TRUMPETS, BECAUSE HOENN'S BEEN CONFIRMED! ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

 

[Vipera]

Oh jesus, another romhack I can't play in my GBA flashc--oooohhhhhhhh

EDIT: "Explore a DRAMATIC new world"? Pokémon Soap confirmed.

 

[WiiUBricker]

lol @ people saying this is a sequel. It's not.

 

[ResleyZ]

Seems that people are already posting fake stuff. I really wonder if they are going to give the other two starters mega-evolutions too. Doesn't seem fair if Blaziken would be the only one who would get one.

Spoiler: I like the idea though

They also better bring a mudkip themed hat if there is going to be trainer customization again.
Also heard thay it will be another global release. I think that is awesome.

EDIT: WAIT. PLEASE TELL ME THEY WILL BRING BACK THE FEATURE THAT POKEMON WILL FOLLOW YOU.
