Awesome. This was one of my favorite things about RSE.

 

[Silky]

When's contests

 

[Andrefpvs]

Look at the globe:

Could Geonet be back? Oh boy, I hope so!

 

[greenleaves]

Can't wait for this game. Hopefully that spot by Fortree is still there.

 

[Not75Drops]

Yeah this info came out of nowhere on the official site. I saw it through the Bulbanews Twitter. Someone must of stumbled past it pretty fast. On the other hand, CoroCoro leaks won't be as surprising now.

 

[BlackJace]

Holy shit, I totally thought they were gonna forget this existed.

 

[MillionVolts]

You got Animal Crossing in my Pokémon!

 

[Brazil]

Fuck yes.

 

[StreetsAhead]

I guess now the Mega Flygon belonging to Aarune theories begin?

Skitty TV.

Quick! Which part of Hoenn is this?

 

[JoeM86]

Where's Joe lol

I was sleeping -_-

 

[vinnygambini]

Ohayo gozaimasu!

They send all of the major fansites press-releases about this sort of thing. Thankfully someone from our news team was online and checking email right as it arrived in our inbox.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

All I wanted from ORAS. Thank you (secret) based Game Freak

 

[Castcoder]

Look at the globe:

Could Geonet be back? Oh boy, I hope so!

Think that's just a copy-paste that will just be a globe with flavor text. Nothing special.

 

[Tenki]

Time to collect Pokémon dolls again!

 

[MaximumSpider]

I guess now the Mega Flygon belonging to Aarune theories begin?

Skitty TV.

Quick! Which part of Hoenn is this?

Is that the area above Rustboro?

 

[Takashi]

Shit that's awesome!

 

[roknin]

Omfg.

All I need now is confirmation of clothing customization and this will officially be the best game I have ever played before it's even released.

My love for gen 3 was already over the top.

 

[Francokid1]

I cant wait for the release!
My Pokemon Emerald nostalgia is strong.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

I guess now the Mega Flygon belonging to Aarune theories begin?

Skitty TV.

The area above the tree? Route 115, maybe

 

[Andrefpvs]

Think that's just a copy-paste that will just be a globe with flavor text. Nothing special.

But I want to keep a record of all the places in the world I've traded with


Game Freak giveth and taketh.

Is that tree Cut-able? Sweet, they actually look like they take some effort to get past now!

...In real life we'd probably frown upon cutting down a tree that large just to get somewhere in you adventure, but hey!

 

[The Bankslammer]

damn that is a bona-fide gym right there

gonna have to figure out what kind of stupid-ass gimmick to center my super-gym-base around

 

[Aaronrules380]

YESYESYESYESYES

I love secret bases, and I knew they'd be a perfect fit for streetpass

 

[MrSaturn99]

I'm probably going to reacquaint myself with the various secret bases throughout Hoenn, but I'm sure I'll find myself back in the tree in the middle of Route 110's lake.

This was pretty much the No. 1 most-wanted feature for these remakes and they've gone the extra mile making the bases extra spacious and ONLINE-ENABLED, and you can use them as your own personal gym. Plus, check out the different setups depending on location (nestled amongst the grass, etc), and there are tons of decorations this time. PERFECTION!

Precisely why I'm excited. I couldn't ask for anything more.

 

[cafemomo]

Today is truly the best day ever

thank you GF

 

[Jintor]

My own personal gym? HYPE HYPE HYPE

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Online based sharing? Hell yes. Now we essentially have player made gyms.

 

[Tan]

SOLD

 

[CesspoolofHatred]

Well shit.

Is this a common thing with games companies? Doesn't seem that common with Nintendo, at least.

Pokemon Company puttin' in work with this and the Google Maps April Fools' and the soundtracks on iTunes. Putting the rest of Nintendo to shame, man.

Spoiler

Yes I know that Nintendo only owns like 30% of the Pokemon Company.

 

[Puruzi]

GYMS?!

 

[-Horizon-]

Those poke dolls are looking good. I think I am partial towards the tree ones myself, the aesthetics are more to my liking than a cave and a bush.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Secret Bases as Wannabe-Gyms? Yessssssss

 

[CesspoolofHatred]

GYMS?!

wait a second

look right here

You can use Decorations to create tricks in your Secret Base

does that mean we can use gym gimmicks

CAN WE MAKE OUR OWN VERSION OF GIOVANNI'S WILD RIDE

 

[Hatchtag]

GOTY right here man. Based secret bases return.
Now just confirm a Battle Frontier return so we can all be happy.

 

[Fuzzification]

I spent most of my time in XY farming berries because it was made so convenient.
Now in ORAS I'll be spending my time interior decorating.
Who cares about being a Pokemon master?

 

[-Horizon-]

Is night/day confirmed to be coming back yet?? If so GOAT

Spoiler

lol

 

[Hatchtag]

Is night/day confirmed to be coming back yet?? If so GOAT

Spoiler

lol

Hoenn's supposed to be sunny all the time, dammit.

 

[Puruzi]

If clothing customization is back, then this is THE pokemon game.

 

[Currygan]

Pokemon game of the motherfucking forever

 

[Castcoder]

Is night/day confirmed to be coming back yet?? If so GOAT

Spoiler

lol

Nope, Hoenn will perpetually be set around noon. Please understand.

 

[PBalfredo]

Making secret base gyms will be really cool for the GAF Pokemon League.

 

[Renta]

When's contests

Yeah, all I need is contests back closely resembling their original form and I'm set for life. DP's was filth.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Route 119 may as well be named "My Secret Base is in this area" with the amount of people who usually set one up here.

 

[Exeunt]

If this turns out as great as it sounds, I hope GameFreak actually expands on it moving forward as opposed to stripping it out in the next set of games...

 

[daydream]

The Secret Base love is strong here, I see.

Maybe I'll get into them this time.

 

[Proven]

Dammit, one of my favorite features in Ruby/Sapphire improved. Dammit. I was going to try and not buy this since it's probably releasing within a month of Smash but... dammit.

 

[Nanashrew]

Route 119 may as well be named "My Secret Base is in this area" with the amount of people who usually set one up here.

Above the bottom bridge on the left side of the waterfall is where I would always put my secret base. I still remember it like it was yesterday~

 

[ValkyrUser]

Ah secret bases, the only places that children can seek refuge in after being kicked out into the dangerous wilds by their mothers to become Pokemon trainers. Looks pretty good!

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Guess this is all we're probably getting in CoroCoro this week then, shame I wanted to see some more Mega Evolutions.

Looks a lot more like Max.
A new shop?

I wonder how many of those Pokemon will get Mega Evolutions...

Also seeing a Gen V Pokemon here is sort of weird.
