I didn't really care for Gen III, but I'm somehow still very pumped for Alpha Sapphire.

But also added tons of features, and had great new pokemon especially when compared to gen2.
Anyway, do you guys think we'll get new Megas outside if lati@s? I just realized that the cover legendaries aren't Megas, just glowy, and now I'm not sure.

Fixed them while you were posting.
I will say this got announced slightly earlier than I expected since there's usually a year or two long gap without any mainline entries immediately after the first game in each generation gets released.
Kinda ironic with that avatar
Ruby and Sapphire came out about 10 years ago, I think. If anything it could be an anniversary of sorts.

Very underwhelming announcement.
I have no interest in this game, to me the Pokemon series evolves at an excessive slow rate and remakes only help with this. To me Pokemon Red and Blue was where the series peaked and it was never able to evolve past the formula established by those games.

...they were remade because the games were incompatible with the GBA. Sure nostalgia is there, but that's subjective.
Similarly, remaking RS makes their mons accessible over without having grueling shit like transferring to an old DS model. And then there's playing Gen 3 with updated mechanics.
So no, every game is not the same.
And yet you haven't touched the games, so how could you tell that they didn't "evolve"? That's like saying Street Fighter II didn't "evolve" when it became Street Fighter Zero/Alpha.
I'm guessing it's because Pokemon Company wants to make sure their games have their own spotlight.

Is it 3D models like the last pokemon game?
Since a lot of old players have gotten back with XY it's probably a good move to get those who skipped the third gen to use money on the remakes.

I would. Have you tried playing Diamond, Pearl and Platinum again? They run horribly compared to how fast and smooth the 3rd gen was.

Just saying that the same people that dislike "sales e-dick stuff" is the same people quoting that gif and the other image.
And the GTA5VsPokemon stuff of last year was painful to read.

Gimme that Gameplay! Hopefully e3 sheds light on this!
every Pokemon game is someone's first. There are gonna be people who played R/S as a kids 10 years ago who feel nostalgia towards this one the same way people did towards Fire Red/Leaf Green

It was kind of expected but, great news.
I just don't know what to pick, on GBA time, I bought Sapphire, because of Sableye.
Mega Groudoun will have at least 800 attack, right ?

I never played Gen 3. This will be fun.
Why would you do that?
Member
Yes, I agree, I prefer the MIDI and synth-y music, and I hope that they don't orchestrate the soundtrack.
(If I had my way, the R/S remakes would have been for gen 5, because that's when Game Freak was at the very top of their music game, but oh well.)

It's about time! Definitely buying.

I only played the original red&blue and then silver so long ago. I just got a DS and wanted to check out a pokemon game.
But how is this thread exciting that many people? Are those two DS games the best there were? Should I consider buying a 3DS?
I don't understand anything, I just want some sweet pokemon in my veins.

My understanding and general impression was that these were considered the worst of the base three by far. At the time they came out, it was pretty negative but nostalgia is one hell of a drug as they say.
At the time they came out people hated the fact they couldn't bring their RBYGSC Pokemon over, and they locked out a shitload of the old Pokemon until the release of FRLG. Combine that with half the game being water routes and some strange (read: awesome) synth choices for the music and you have a gen that's divisive.
I'm more than willing to admit nostalgia might be the main reason I love RSE as much as I do, but it's dope as fuck. Fantastic Pokemon designs that were the best mix of creative and not going off the deep end as much as the later ones did, awesome music, and it was the first Pokemon game that really had a ton of polish and is worth revisiting.

This is my most wanted game of 2014. R/S/E was the best gen.

Ruby/Sapphire were GBA games. I personally didn't care for the world being 40% water, but many here think its the best entry in the series.

3D models made me actually like some Pokémon I didn't before. They also ruined a few others sadly.

The gif is funny.. I mean if you find a sales funny gif you can post it in the sales thread. Oh it was painful? Sorry to hear that.

People were mad at first because you couldn't transfer from older games. Time has let people realize how great the 3rd gen is once you looked past that fact.
May 15th, but I wouldn't bet on it having too much.
I always thought it went something like.
Gen 2 > Gen 1 > Gen 5 > Gen 3 > Gen 4 = Gen 6.
The thing that bugs me about remaking Gen III is that next year the Gen I remakes will be that old as well. They're basically remaking games that came out when they started remaking the games.
Are they going to remake Gen I again? It's been just as long.
I could see the remake train stopping with these though. No one really cares about remakes of Diamond/Pearl do they?

Ha. Haha. HAHAHAH HAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That doesn't even make any sense. To say the series hasn't evolved past the originals in any way is straight up absurd.
I remember the water stuff was another thing that peeved a lot of people off.

DP yeah, Platinum was fast, although the menu was terrible. But I'd still play those due to better mechanics. Besides, Gen V and VI are faster.
also rankings eh?
BW2 > XY > BW > Plat > E > HGSS > RS > GBC > FRLG > RBY
