Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire [3DS Hoenn Remake, November 2014]

[\Lennox]

OH DEAR GOD.

YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN WATITING FOR THESE TWO WORDS TO BE TRUE. I CAN FINALLY SAY IT!

HOENN CONFIRMED! HOENN CONFIRMED! HOENN CONFIRMED! HOENN CONFIRMED!

Well, the thing is, did anyone read a brand new adventure in the trailer? Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking?

That's right.

Is anyone thinking... sequels?

[Solkia]

I wonder if the character customization stuff from XY will be in this.

[Tara]

FINALLY!

 

Now I really have to get a 3DS.  I can't wait to see how this fares compared to the original, especially in the music department.  The bumped up rating does leave me curious, as well, but it's probably not even anything major.

[Johnny Boy]

FUCK YEAH!! HOENN CONFIRMED BITCHES!!!!

 

And they had better give Sceptile and Swampert some Mega Evolutions.

[MugiMikey]

That's good news! Even though gen 3 was one of my least favorite gens, I'm still pretty excited for these remakes.

[Willsy]

So you know how Vita is Latin for 'life'?

Playstation Mortem.

Looking forward to the remix of the awesome soundtrack, with soundfonts that don't suck ass due to the limitations of the GBA.

 

Also, I want to see if they create the most terrifying Mega-legendary of all; the weather-team grim reaper that is known as Rayquaza.

[Blue Blood]

...

Meh, much?

I've fallen out of favour with the Pokémon series ever since XY proved to be the weakest entires to date in my opinion. Plus the series is beyond stale now. RS happened to be my next least favourite games, so for remakes of them to be announced with so little fanfare really does nothing whet my appetite. I expected to still be excited over the next Pokémon reveal, but this has yet to manage that unfortunately.

HAHA!  SHOTS FIRED!

Oh my gosh!!!  You just reminded me that Mega Evolutions are a thing!  I'm so hyped now!  Mega Rayquaza would just be... ooooooomg.

This was leaked ages ago and was in the last place anyone would look; the IGN forums

I don't think that's a leak just an idea, they got the names the wrong way around

 

But man that's creepily close.

[Marcello]

Woah. That came out of no where. The box art looks great. Love the coloured cases. Hope the cartridges match that. I'll probably go for Sapphire as I got Ruby as a present back then and I usually go for the Blue versions. My starter will probably be Mudkip since I already have my Torchic from X. The whole "new world" stuff has me curious.

 

Wonder why they didn't wait for E3 for this, though. Would've been fairly big. I'm sure we'll get a longer trailer for it there at least.

 

Also cool: worldwide release again. Guess we can expect that always now.

The Vita is already "dead". The 3DS doesn't need this to kill it. =P

[Solkia]

 

oh

[Jin.]

 

it is time

PEOPLE OF THE HOENN REGION, REJOICE!!!

 

Fucking finally!!! I've been waiting for a moment like this to happen for long time after HeartGold & SoulSilver came out. My childhood is literally crying in tears of joy for this! Although, it was pretty inevitable for Game Freak to make a remake of Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald, but didn't know when it was gonna happen. I can't wait to explore Hoenn again!

[Indigo Rush]

You misunderstand the importance of "tea-bagging."

[Semi-colon e]

Oh man Hoenn is like the one region I never played as a child, so I caught up with Emerald and enjoyed it (apart from some lackluster enemy team and E4 team lameness, and all the water), but this is gonna be awesome.

 

Honestly, I'm excited almost for the remix of Route 120 alone.

 

Who else is going to BLIND NUZLOCKE????!?!??!

[PSI Wind]

ALL HAIL THE MAGIC REPEL! HE SHALL LEAD US TO SALVATION!

[SuperLink]

PEOPLE OF THE HOENN REGION, REJOICE!!!

Shouldn't that be, "People of the Hoenn Region, Regice!!!"?

[Solkia]

SuperLink, that's Jez's job.

[Kuzu]

Now you can rage on all of the Water routes and listen to trumpets in glorious THREEE DEEEEEEE

 

 

This calls for music:

Booo! On a serious note I'm really excited for this

[Soniman]

NOW I can finally start saving up for a 2DS

[Detective Shadzter]

I haven't played Pokémon properly since Ruby and Sapphire and the Gold and Silver remakes, so I was hoping a Ruby and Sapphire remake would be on the way. The way they've revealed it just screams damage control over their latest financial news, though. This has got to be the weakest unveiling I've ever seen from Nintendo. Even a teaser would have been better than a quick slide show of buzz words, whoosh sounds and early boxart designs. 

[Sean]

This is awesome news. Though I'm sure everyone expected this coming (was there any indication that GF wouldn't remake gen3?), I'll be among the first to pick this up because gen3 is in serious need of a modern lick of paint. Plus, this finally gives me a good reason to buy Pokemon Bank, since I never was that interested in online storage.

One request though: please find a way to incorporate both evil teams in both versions. For example, fighting Team Magma in Alpha Sapphire's post-game and vice-versa.
