Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Remakes Announced for 3DS

I'm ok with yearly Pokemon.
New gen -> remake -> third version of new gen
Repeat x forever.
Weather goes haywire because of Kyogre and Groudon. Rayquaza steps in and tries to stop them. Their mega evolutions (the cover art) are too powerful for Rayquaza alone. Ecosystems go nuts all over the world. Zygarde joins the battle with his mega evolution. Rayquaza also gets one. Dragon/ground and dragon/flying do their best to save the world. Oh and a 16-18 year-old kid captures them soon after.
Dunno. But Zygarde could fit into this somehow.

Because Groudon is a giant electric hair trimmer.
So are we 100% sure these are remakes and not sequels, like black 2/white 2?
Wouldn't the amount of work required be roughly the same? I mean, you reuse the old script/concept, but you basically have to generate all the assets that aren't reused from X/Y. Might as well make a sequel.

Will wait for the undeniable _________* emerald version
Remakes never get third versions~

Interesting that GameXplain thinks that they're straight remakes and not Megas or different forms. Are there differences between normal and new cover versions of be legendaries that I'm missing out on?
I'm really hoping it's not a straight remake.

I think this may also explain why Go Ichinose wasn't involved with X/Y. He's got to do his best work some justice for the new generation.
I hope I'm right, I love his music.
And pokemon games never had sequels.

Oh yeeeees. I can't wait.
Finally a game to play since Pokemon X and Y.
The trailer does call it a "new adventure" so I'm a bit suspicious.
Sableye. Gems for eyes. Gems! Plus dat Kyogre. When it originally came out I was #TeamRuby. Groudon looked beastly. I was always a red guy. But then I saw the error of my ways. Gonna buy both and give Ruby to my little bro. Can't go wrong either way but dat Sapphire.
If you think about it this could imply that a 3DS successor is coming soon and the 3rd version of X and Y will be the last Pokemon game on the platform releasing the same year as the 3DS successor.

We have no idea, just guesses based off of PR lingo.
Gold and Silver are sequels to Red and Blue/Green.And pokemon games never had sequels.

Ruby
+ Mawile (now a Fairy type + Mega Mawile)
+ Zangoose (David Bowie the Pokemon)
+ Groudon is rad
- ...but Shiftry definitely isn't
- Sun effects just weren't as cool as the rain
Sapphire
+ Ludicolo is THE BEST
+ Kyogre is rad AND it wrecks Groudon AND it had OP Drizzle
+ Rain effects were the coolest shit at the time
- ...but Drizzle got nerfed
- Sableye is cool but wasn't ever great, and now it's got Fairy weakness to boot
...well seems like a tie. OH WAIT

There was no Yellow or Crystal remake, so there probably won't be an Emerald one.
He should definitely get into it. At least start with gen 5 and on.
Rayquaza and Zygarde DNA digivolve! I mean DNA splicer go!

I am on the opposite boat. I want a straight remake like the previous remakes.
But Mawile, tho
I honestly don't care about Groudon, Mawile is why I am picking Omega Ruby.Numbered sequels then.

3DS didn't stop Black 2 and White 2 from releasing on DS.

Do alpha and omega have anything to do with rubies and sapphires or were they just out of ideas?

I would love to have the red and blue box casing in NA. It would really stick out on my shelf, but I like it! I remember when the cartridges used to be colored for the GBA games, so awesome.

I really can't imagine how a straight sequel would work without being terrible. I mean half the features XY added wouldn't make sense, like how there wouldn't be clothing stores for customization (unless they replaced every mart with one I guess) and mega stones wouldn't be invented for years or whatever. Plus random stuff like the game corner being cut.
But maybe I'm just overly hopeful.
It fits in with the symbols used by the enemy teams in the game, as well as tying into Groudon and Kyogre's origins in Hebrew myth.
Sapphire had rain and Ruby didn't? I think I've decided which one I'm going to get, thanks!Ruby

That's not... exactly what I mean by that :V
I love Sableye. I'm also not expecting any new mega evolutions for now, wouldn't that break compatibility? I mean would Game Freak patch X Y for such a thing? I feel like they wouldn't. Pls prove me wrong Game Freak.
That's how it should go yeah. I'm sure some people would dislike the amount of remakes that'd give us but bring it on I say.
I quite like GameXplain when they're analyzing trailers but they tend to have some weird opinions when they're doing their discussing thing.

Just heard the news!! HOLY FUCK thank you Based Game Freak.
All these years waiting, wondering, hoping against hope.
We made it friends, we made it.

Beelzebufo helped tell me that Groudon is based on the Behemoth and Kyogre is based on the Leviathan from the Hebrew bible. Rayquaza too.
But but... Gotta catch em all!
(By buying one game only)
Nintendo really wants us to buy both games... Don't they
High five! Nobody can defy this man's logic. Both are great but Sapphire is greater. Deal with it B-)

But you team up with the pirates in Ruby. So technically, you get to be a pirate by association. Ruby wins.

Do heart and soul have anything to do with gold and silver?

Rain exists in both. There are just more chances to observe them in sapphire bc of kyogre's ability summoning weather.

There's a point in the game in which either the sun burns everyone to a crisp or the world just gets a nice little worldwide water sprinkler.
Wouldn't those things you mentioned make more sense if it *WAS* a sequel that took place AFTER mega evolution stones were discovered? Unless I'm misunderstanding your post and you're agreeing that it should be 'ruby 2/sapphire 2'?

A major advantage of the 3DS is that they can patch it as we've already seen, but I'm willing to think you're right. Maybe I'm cynical, but I can't see them going through that kind of effort. Plus, this would explain why Mega Lati@s exists, you probably get that stone in this game.I love Sableye. I'm also not expecting any new mega evolutions for now, wouldn't that break compatibility? I mean would Game Freak patch X Y for such a thing? I feel like they wouldn't. Pls prove me wrong Game Freak.
Oh my gosh, I meant straight remake. My bad.

Easy explanation: X/Y were set in pokeurope and they didn't get any of those features until years after pokejapan. Realistic AND gets around any issues of needing to skip features!

I'm sorry but you are forgetting that Ruby had Maxie of Team Magma who had the best voice of all in the anime. He also blew up volcanoes and stole rocket fuel.
So in short. Team Magma > Team Aqua.

they don't seem to make a 3rd game anymore since Black2 White2 besides like Gray and Z they were cancelled for Wii U exclu
In Fire Red they gave charmander metal claw in its level up moveset so it could go through Brock easily. It hasn't been a regular part of its level up moves since.
And pokemon games never had sequels.
