Fairy Tale Girl's overworld model is atrocious.
Hope they fix it.

I'm sick of the lollies like fairy tale girl....in my POKEMON games.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Funny thing is hex maniac is the more "normal" of the two.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Hell yeah! There goes another 300 hours of my life ;;

 

[Toxi]

Funny thing is hex maniac is the more "normal" of the two.

The Hex Maniacs just pretend to be creepy; one even talks about how she's sick of her act. So they're like inverse Fairy Tale Girls.

 

[TheRook]

cool secret bases are back, now to make warp panels spin you back into my base you can't ever leave after you challenge me....

 

[ArchedThunder]

That was such a dumb thread.

This how the Pokémon Omega Ruby game icon will look like:

Also here is an example of a Secrete Base QR code:

*Notice how it seems to be giving the player the icon of a rich boy, which I assume means that player customization will not be back for Pokémon ORAS.

 

[Cody_D165]

oh my god

They used NPC trainer icons in X/Y screenshots before they unveiled customisation.

Spoiler

I'm preparing for disappointment

 

[MicH]

I just don't understand why they would remove trainer customization. Everything has already been made. They just need to make it available. While I don't really care, it sucks for those who liked it

 

[JoeM86]

You sleep!?!

Not anymore haha

 

[Ark]

Can't wait for this!

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Not anymore haha

Good, without you we wouldn't know what is going on in the Pokemon world outside of Pokemon related Smash Bros updates!

 

[XaeonBE]

YESSSS this made my day!

 

[Kouriozan]

Secretly the best feature ever of any pokémon games.

 

[Mr Croft]

This is going to be epic. Ruby is one of my fave versions of Pokemon

 

[RagnarokX]

I'm gonna fill my Secret Base with arrow tiles. Twitch will never get through it.

 

[TheBera]

Secret base are very cool but no customization is a deal breaker for me after XY (if true). Can't stand it when GameFreak remove features with no reason

 

[Forkball]

Kind of lame you can't go to their base when they are really in it. Though it seems like there's a lot of options and possibilities for what you can create.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I wonder if Coro Coro will have more info or if this will be just it.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I just don't understand why they would remove trainer customization. Everything has already been made. They just need to make it available. While I don't really care, it sucks for those who liked it

It wouldn't be Pokemon without introducing new interesting game features in one installment and removing them the next.

 

[Qurupeke]

Great news! I can't wait to find the perfect place and decorate my secret base!

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Secret base are very cool but no customization is a deal breaker for me after XY (if true). Can't stand it when GameFreak remove features with no reason

Hoenn just isn't stylish like Franceland.

 

[Qurupeke]

I really hope that's not the case. Customisation is probably the best thing on XY.

 

[JoeM86]

I wonder if Coro Coro will have more info or if this will be just it.

It'll almost certainly have more.

 

[Earthpainting]

I never used secret bases before, but this is pretty nifty from the sound of it. How does it work in practice? You can someone's QR and you have to find their base? What if someone chose the same base location as you?

Secret base are very cool but no customization is a deal breaker for me after XY (if true). Can't stand it when GameFreak remove features with no reason

It wouldn't be Ruby/Sapphire without having some cool stuff taken away.

 

[WhirlwindMonk]

This sounds absolutely amazing. This game just went from a want to a must buy. I will be very sad if they remove trainer customization, though. Time to see if I can preorder it from the GameStop near work yet...

 

[lupinko]

It'll almost certainly have more.

Do we know if it'll have a serial code event?

 

[Wensih]

It wouldn't be R/S without them! One of my favorite things to do after the main game was to decorate and battle friends in their secret bases.

 

[10k]

This is slowly turning into a must have for me. Never beating ruby/sapphire also helps, it will be like a new game for me.

I'll show you my secret base if you show me yours.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

I enjoyed Secret Bases even if I barely shared mine with anyone. Collecting furniture and dolls to put in them was fun, and the improvements they're making here sound cool.

 

[elohel]

Looks like animal crossing

I'm in lol

 

[WhirlwindMonk]

I enjoyed Secret Bases even if I barely shared mine with anyone. Collecting furniture and dolls to put in them was fun, and the improvements they're making here sound cool.

Completely agreed. I was seriously disappointed when HGSS removed room customization, so it'll be nice to have it back again here.

 

[Brainiac 8]

awesome...I need to hurry and finally finish X.

 

[Mr-Joker]

And suddenly my hype for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire slowly rises, after it taking a major nose dive when Mega were confirmed to be in the Hoenn remake.

 

[Never Forever]

Omg yaaaaaaasssssss

This is so beautiful and brilliant and is that a Pokeblock Maker I see in that artwork ahhhhh crying rn

But seriously, this looks so amazing. Being able to create your own Gym is pretty sweet.

 

[SweetDonuts]

Sweeet, it looks great.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Notice how Sableye's carrying the PokeBlock mixer. I hope that means what I think it means...

Now all they need to do is confirm the return of the best form of the contests

This is perfectly possible too, since apparently the current individual Pokémon data structure still includes Contest stats! (Beauty, Cool, Smart, etc.)

 

[backlot]

In X/Y you can set your PSS icon to look like NPC trainers instead of your own trainer. Maybe they're just holding off on showing trainer customization for some reason.

 

[viewtiful_dru]

XY didnt seem "notably rushed" also its been a notorious thing since Gen 3 that GF removes key features established in the previous games. So im not sure why you think its a current trend when Gen 3 removed the day/night cycle and Battle Tower then Gen 4 removed Battle Frontier, R/S/E contests, R/S/E contest traits which some evolutions were dependent on and the R/S/E secret bases.

Gen 4 still had the contest stats. Shit, you could even still evolve feebas into Milotic in HGSS if you got massages for it.

Real talk - in which universe was one of the defining features of the most recent generation not going to be extended to a remake?

 

[BGBW]

I really shouldn't buy another Pokémon game but I did love the bases.

So they got rid of the annoying holes since none of the screenshots have them.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

it's great the bases are returning it was a great feature shame ninty didn't keep reusing it

Have to say tho I don't like the graphic style of pokemon now

 

[Not75Drops]

Real talk - in which universe was one of the defining features of the most recent generation not going to be extended to a remake?

The universe of wishful thinking. It always clouds logic.

 

[JoeM86]

Nothing like that has been revealed so not for this month, no.

 

[lupinko]

Yeah I use a female pokemon ranger for mine.

Nothing like that has been revealed so not for this month, no.

Awww.

 

[War Raichu]

I hope any trainers you battle in a secret base give you experience like in the original games. After the Trainer House in HGSS was changed to lock your level and give you BP, I'm afraid you won't be able to create an all-Blissey team and send it to friends for easy grinding

 

[Cse]

Are these other characters in the game, or is this an implicit confirmation of character customization?

 

[War Raichu]

supposedly those are generic NPCs you can make your junior trainers in your gym

 

[Qurupeke]

Now time to powerup Secret Power a bit. Make it a useful move please.
