Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire

[tofast4u]

I always found this to be the weakest gen, and least exciting to play through. Visually it was a great update to Gold and Silver, but I found it to be so much less exciting than Gold and Silver. Even still the fact that we're already getting another set of pokemon games in the new engine makes me excited. Guess this means Red and Blue/Green remakes could be made AGAIN since their first remakes were made in the same engine as Ruby and Sapphire, I find that thought a bit sad.

I would love if this game lets a pokemon follow you like the Gold/Silver remakes, and if they decided to include Johto and/or Kanto as bonus region(s) for after the main game is complete. I loved this feature from Gold and Silver, and it really sucks that it hasn't been revisited since.

No need for a remake of Red/Blue as HGSS has that region covered including the Pokemon.

There are differences between Kanto region from Red/Blue to G/S/HG/SS
Some of them are:
Gyms are different
Elite 4 is different
You can't choose 1st gen starters
Safari Zone has closed
Cinnabar Island have been destroid by an eruption of an volcano, or at least that's the official version, some say it was Mewtwo.
Mt. Moon has decreased in size due to rock slides
The power plant has become functional
The pokemon tower has become a radio tower, the pokemon graves it housed have been moved to house of memories
The Pewter museum of science has been closed to renovations

I don't recall any sort of input lag in R/S compared to Emerald...

I'm not saying Gen 3 is the problem per say, but definitely, the input lag has been absolutely mind-numbingly horrid since the DS generation. It's made Gen 4 and 5 very difficult to tolerate, since it seems to just accentuate all the problems that the game mechanics introduce.

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

You know, I'll bet if you people were as vociferous about your want of a new Metroid game as you are about your excitement of a new Pokemon game, it would probably be released. Just what is the difference between a fan and a Poketard again? Both types of people go ballistic over Pokemon. And you people are especially excited because they're remaking the Ruby/Sapphire versions, which are generally regarded as being two great entries in this series. Or maybe Pokemon has become for the 3DS owners what Call of Duty is for the Xbox owners. Yeah, that's it.

Hey
Hey
My advice?

;O;

I don't care about Metroid. This is what I wanted from Game Freak for years now.

To be honest when I first read the thread title and saw Pokemon + Greek letters I thought this made it out of beta. (it's supposed to be actually good but I haven't tried it)
Edit: in fact it releases in a week. Coincidence lol

I don't think he means "input lag" as just the games being slow as fuck, but really only Diamond and Pearl suffer from that. It was fixed Platinum onwards.

And I say "slow" in terms of the engine, not pacing or excitement or whatever.

I swear I never noticed any input lag in Diamond/Pearl... And they were my favorite DS game for a while...

Well the games are just slow to process. Go do a few battles in Diamond and Pearl and then play any game after that. You'll notice there's definitely a slowness in Diamond and Pearl. It's not enough to ruin the games but admittedly it does drag things out more than it should and it makes Platinum a much better game.

And really input lag isn't the right term, I wouldn't get caught up in it.

DP were basically:
Enter battle
*wait*
Wild X Appeared
*wait*
Send out Pokemon
Choose a move
*wait*
Attacks
*Waits a bit before opponent attacks*
*repeat*
It definitely didn't help that the player is a slow walker. Platinum was much better.

Omg <3 I remember how I solved the regi puzzles without using the internet finding out all myself. Not knowing they even exist.
Every time I went into those caves I ignored it not knowing what to do and months later when I read trough the training guide for fun I recognized the dots.
Using it to solve the puzzles <3 and one of them took so long.
It was fun That was my best experience.

Nostalgia overload aside(I watched this vid 5 times just because Nostalgia o.O), Gen 4 was slow as heck alright(tbh, I like the starting battle effect ), I think it would be better if you said "loading" lag.

Uh oh...The 'temp won't survive this release for sure.
Inb4 noobs start asking how to emulate this

 

[Darkseeker109]

Awesome! I'm gonna buy both versions.

 

[digipokemaster]

Awesome! I'm gonna buy both versions.

I'm so going to buy them both and the collector edition guide book there goes my monthly spending for November. I'm so excited now I going to be counting down until November ( well until I hear the official November date then it would be a count down to then )!

Then please, no complaining about how the Wii U is suffering because it's not releasing titles that their owners want. (e.g. Star Fox, F-Zero, Metroid) Unless you do want a Star Fox or F-Zero title; then you can complain about that.

Don't worry. I won't complain because I don't care enough about it to complain. This is a RS remake for 3DS, why is the freakin' Wii U even in this thread?

 

[InfoAddict]

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.

Because everyone wants to complain instead f jumping on the trumpet train of infinite hype
