Gaming Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire hype thread

[Queno138]

Looks really nice, can't wait to explore this again in glorious 3D. The map seems pretty interesting. See some stuff I don't really remember.

Yeah I can't wait!

Too bad the map feels too.. linear

 

[VMM]

The map seems quite different.

Old:

New:

Map looks more linear now.

They hid some stuff, like battle frontier and sky pillar, but southern island remains.

Also notice that black mass on the top of the map?
Maybe that's a meteor.

Steven staring at ruins.
Perhaps Granite Cave?

I noticed there's a meteor in both ruin photos.

Maybe the Meteor is a "sign", or the origin of the Omega/Alpha orbs (if it ain't the Red/Blue orb).
Maybe even Jirachi cross-in?

Is it me or does the old map look better?

I think the old map looked more natural, more continent-like.

The old map look like something that would be showed on the anime/mangá.
I could see the new one, or something very close in the game.

Back on the hype train yet again.

 

[porkiewpyne]

I feel like the purpose of the new map is to give us a feel of the game which is why it is more linear compared to the old one which shows how it would look "realistically".

Yea was wondering about the black area as well. Man, please let that be where we catch Jirachi.

It seems they have also clouded out the area for Rayquaza and Battle Frontier.

If I am not mistaken, Marts will be separated from PCs once more.

Don't get why they didn't block southern island, as it's also an area to encounter legendary.

I liked marts being together with PCs T.T

But the blue roof says it all :/

 

[VMM]

Those clouds are definetly to hide some stuff, I could see the Battle Tower, Rayquaza, and new areas been shown later on the places covered by clouds.

If I am not mistaken, Marts will be separated from PCs once more.

I hope not, having them together with Pokemon centers is really handy

 

[porkiewpyne]

^Same. It was more convenient. Though I don't mind either way.

Not sure why they exposed Southern Island either. One thing I just noticed. What's with that white dot near Pacifidlog? At least have the decency to properly cloud-censor stuff LOL

 

[VMM]

One thing I really likedd on XY was the possibility to customize your character,
now that this is a remake I'm not certain if it will be includede, but the only thing I can ddo is hope.
Although I'm fine with Brendan appearence, for me he is the coolest main character of the Pokémon games,
I also like him because he is a bit different from the the stereotype of the main character of pokémon games.

 

[porkiewpyne]

I'd be really disappointed if they removed characustomisation. I'm hoping that Brendan being slightly tanned is a sign that they are keeping that feature.

 

[VMM]

Updated the OP with Queno 138 images.
I have double feelings about Primal Groundon been Ground/Fire,
now his ability will be more helpful, and he will have stab in Earthquake and fire moves(hopefully he gets something better than fire punch),
but it's gonna be beaten really hard by water type moves.

PS: Noticed the poll was perfectly equilibrated, 33 votes for each one.

My birthday is on November 21st, so it's a shame it comes out a week later in Europe. Still very happy that they're still doing global releases.

 

[Queno138]

If GameFreak maintains it's stand on encountering roamers like X&Y,
Maybe the Final location for meeting Lati@s and the Lati@site is at Southern Island!

Either that or the Eon Ticket will be given as a WiFi Event to get to Southern Island or something~

 

[porkiewpyne]

I don't mind if Southern Island is where Lati@s ends up. But for the love of God, let my try to catch the friggin thing in the 10489843727748919000105617 encounters prior to that :\

Hmmmm looks like Trainer Hill is excluded. I wonder why though. I see no reason to do that. Oh well.

I hope its okay to not put in spoilers, since.. we probably already know about the game.
