Re: Guess what
Who named these games? First of all, I wouldn't have picked "Alpha and Omega". It feels odd to call the games "First and Last". The previous generation got "Heart and Soul", a pleasant-sounding phrase, but "Alpha and Omega" brings to mind a completely different set of mental images (superiority and inferiority, religious meanings) which I don't think fit at all.
To go with the Team Magma and Team Aqua thing, I definitely would have gone with "(Ash/Molten) Ruby and Storm Sapphire". And Generation III did introduce overworld weather.
But we have "Alpha and Omega" and "Ruby and Sapphire". So it should be "Alpha Ruby and Omega Sapphire", right? This is backwards. "Heart Gold and Soul Silver" worked on every level, but this ... I'm guessing they gave "Alpha" to "Sapphire" because of the similar sounds, which makes for a lot of "aph" in one game name, haha. The consonance here I don't think sounds as good as "Soul Silver" though.
But there's no use talking about that now, so, welp. Anyway.
Gen III is the only one I don't have physical copies of. Will probably get one of the new ones if I have friends talking me into it at who would play with me at the time. Berries berries berries berries.
