This. How many times must the 3DS prove how Boss it is. How many times my I look at my 3DS and smile.

 

[hughesta]

OH SHIT

BEST POKEMON GAMES REVAMPED I'M SO HYPED

 

[-Horizon-]

*-Horizon- has fainted*

 

[flipping_heck]

Omg! Great timing! I just finished pokemon y!

 

[Some Nobody]

Fight back, Nintendo! Also, holy crap this was unexpected.

 

[VegiHam]

Maybe has to do with what the plot of the games were, which was making a new world as the two Pokemon in question control the land and the ocean?

That'd make sense I guess. I was hoping Hoenn Confirmed + New region or something. Did they use wording like this for FRLG or HGSS?

 

[Uno Venova]

but they've never been as easy as X/Y

I really never noticed a difference. I took Exp share off immediately though.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Good. Will buy.

 

[Protagonist Jake]

 

[Cloud Strife]

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING

 

[Slayven]

It's happening isn't it?

 

[Saint Gregory]

They're always easy for the youngin's

I guess I'll just need to drink more before playing then :/

In retrospect I did it to myself though by turning on that experience sharing. Worst Pokemon related decision I've ever made.

[clav]

Can someone explain to me as an outsider of the Pokemon series (only played Blue and Red) as of why this news is exciting?

Yes. Hoenn is amazing.

 

[gerudoman]

Yes, it is real

Is it me or it doesn't sound like a remake at all? More like a Black/White 2 situation.

I remember when so called know it alls were in denial that they'd put out new Pokemon games this year.

 

[Goldenmoney]

 

[DSmalls84]

Cool just got back into Pokemon with X and Y after not buying any since Yellow. Will be nice to check out remakes of the older games.

 

[braves01]

Megaton out of fucking nowhere

 

[Mortemis]

OHHHH MY GOD. IM SO IN.

I called this during the last direct with a bunch of others. I'm glad we were right!

[The Bankslammer]

WOW THOSE ARE REALLY DUMB NAMES

BUT HOLY CRAP IT'S REAL

 

[Forkball]

Ugh, Hoenn and terrible names.

... DAY ONE DID ARE THOSE MEGE EVOLUTIONS GOD IS IT NOVEMBER YET

 

[GulAtiCa]

I never played that gen, so I look forward to this game.

 

[IHaveIce]

Put in new Endgame material and make a hard mode that i can choose from the start.

X/Y were only good in concept, world was lacking, endgame was shit and you could beat the strongest trainers pretty easily and there are no trainers with high lvl pokemans.

But I am hyped

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Out of fucking nowhere.

Can someone explain to me as an outsider of the Pokemon series (only played Blue and Red) as of why this news is exciting?

It's a remake of Ruby and Sapphire. That's it. It's exciting because it's Pokemon.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

YESSSSS! omg I think I fell

 

[Akihidas]

I hope they add more content to these games, the original Ruby and Sapphire were really bare bones with almost nothing to do after the main game (which can be completed in like 8-12 hours).

Even so, I'm pretty excited and I can't wait to get to use the best grass starter again.

 

[AuthenticM]

They need to remake LeafGreen and FireRed.

 

[Tortimer]

I am dying. Haven't been this excited about a game announcement since the Gold & Silver remake. This is going to be amazing.

 

[ColossalLazy]

So fast lol.

 

[Terbinator]

I never played any Pokemon games post-Crystal until X last year.

Mitebecool.

 

[-Horizon-]

You all didn't believe me! I told you remakes were coming first! HNNNNNG

 

[clav]

It's a remake of Ruby and Sapphire. That's it. It's exciting because it's Pokemon.

I still don't understand.

 

[BlackJace]

*flatlines*

 

[Tohsaka]

Wow. I skipped the GBA Pokemon games so I'll get one of these for sure.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Remake with new content or sequel?

 

[Tempy]

So SOOON! I haven't even PLAYED Emerald yet!

 

[crinale]

Omega emerald incoming!

 

[Kouriozan]

OMG YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
