Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

[xMUSICxMASTERx]

I had fire red, i was kind of bored, i don't even remember what the differences were besides everything looking more like the modern pokemon games of that time. I heard that heart gold/soul silver were amazing remakes but i never tried them x.x maybe i'll get one of those and play it before these remakes come out lol.

Of the 100+ reblogs I made about ORAS last night, this was probably my favorite. xD
He made a really good point about the cities, though. Hoenn has the most creative cities in the series by far. (imo)

I kinda want a 6th gen Pokemon Yellow (or failing that Red/Green again) because the Kanto pokemon that you can't get easily in Gen4/5/6 have to be imported from Gen3, which involves a 24hr waiting period to cart only 6 pokemon at a time. It's a pain in the ass. I'm glad they fixed that problem when carting over from gens 4 to 5. Good thing the problem is mostly eliminated at this point, especially with Hoenn.

gen 3 was better than gens 1, 4 (until hgss if you count that) and maaaaaaaaaaybe 5
i'm not buying this until it's confirmed not easy as fuck like x/y

RSE were the hardest games all-around, all they need to do is "fix" the Exp. Share and not hand out overpowered Megas before the halfway point (fucking blaziken, man).
Or at least make a damn challenge mode like BW2.

I'm with hi19 and kommi on this in that I think Gen 3 was also the weakest generation but my issue stems from one other thing:
The lack of in-game time.

Generation 2 had that AWESOME feature where it could follow real time and go into night or day because of it. Gen 3 ditched that completely and I thought that's what really made Gen 2 stand apart (aside from the 16 gyms). While that feature was again brought back, that really crushed Gen 3 for me and is the reason I consider it the worst of the 6 generations.

That said, I might pick it up because a good chuck of the Pokémon I need for my X/Y Dex are Hoenn legends. Unless my girlfriend gets it, in which case, I'll ask her for them.

in all honesty I don't think Mega Evolutions will be available. I just don't see it happening. I get the feeling it's a story gimmick that they should want to preserve. But that's just me speculating. I really don't want Megas in the RSE remake though DDDD:

I'm not really a fan of Megas in general, but they had a huge emphasis in X&Y (at least somewhat, game freak sure liked to advertise them), so I can't see why they'd drop them.
I think it would be interesting if certain NPC's had Megas (Steven with Mega Metagross, anyone?), but you can't get a mega stone until post-game.

(Having played every gen game except Fire Red, Pearl, B1, BW2)

Game code for Mega Lati@s already exists. Mega Latias is pretty much inferior to Soul Dew Latias. Mega Latios becomes an awkward mixed attacker, and sort of is a waste of the mega slot.

I do foresee Mega Metagross, perhaps Mega Altaria and Mega Flygon. At least using Gen 4 phys/special mechanics is definitely an improvement, as expected.

Secret bases are of course nice, if they do something like they did with Gen 5's Entralink (I actually used that stuff with my bro) even better, to a point.

Having a competitive difficulty would be great too.

I'm sure they'll cycle back around to RBY again eventually. It has probably the highest nostalgia factor after all. I mean, look at how many times Nintendo has remade the first Super Mario Bros. to varying degrees: NES, SNES, GBC, GBA, not to mention partial remakes in other games like NES Remix for Wii U, virtual console ports, or the semi-recent return to the "New" Super Mario Bros. franchise that's clearly driven by that same nostalgia.

Gen 3 did in fact have in-game time, but the only thing it affected was the high and low tides in the Shoal Cave. I miss Gen 2 being able to correct for daylight savings time myself, nowadays I gotta go into the DS system settings and mess with those.

only way to fix the exp share really is to get rid of it or lower the exp gains to what they would be in gen 4 (definitely not gen 5)
they could just not have megas until post-game which i'm 95% expecting
also torchic was an event so technically that wasn't built into the game BUT lucario and the kanto starters were

and make it better than bw2's (only accessible by either beating black 2 [the other one giving you an EASY MODE for some bizarre reason] or getting it from a friend? nintendo plz)

and yes, gen 3 ignoring time features was the most bizarre thing ever

[koga939]

I'll give credit to DPPt for having the hardest League by far. Like damn.
...Okay, Cyrus was kinda hard too.

We actually agree on something. What is this.

But yeah Wallace really does suck though. Maybe keep Juan, put Wallace in the contest halls. We'll never see him again! Contests halls were optional!

Yeahhhhhhhhh~

I actually had forgotten about contests till writing this post... You guys think those will return?

Espeon
Umbreon

other Day/Night evolutions

edit@middie srsly contests were fun in Gen3 but they started to suck more and more past gen4

I thought that as well...fucking Cynthia was the hardest thing in that game lol~

I'm happy that RS is getting a remake, but I'm hoping they don't make it easy at all.

[koga939]

I watched some freaky ass Japanese TV show for like an hour just for the 10 seconds of footage that was advertised.
Yay me.

[Poison-]

Nothing will ever beat gen 2 in my opinion
