New Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Trailer.

This is what I was asking about in my post. I haven't played Emerald though so I have no idea if that was a location from the frontier.

Looked really similar to me minus the surrounding area:

The games look great. It's gonna be so nostalgic to walk around Hoenn again. Gen 3=Best Gen. I'll admit I'm biased though, Sapphire being my first Pokemon game and all.

Maxie's head looks hella weird though. I'm not even gonna mention the Magma members' outfits. Getting Alpha Sapphire just so I don't have to look at that fashion disaster. Well, that and my love for Kyogre.

Think Rayquaza will get a Mega Evo too? I think it's very likely.
 
I skipped X & Y. Not sure if that was a mistake, but I won't be passing on these. They look great, and I have fond memories of Ruby.

Though it wasn't my first pokemon game, my fondest memories come from traveling around hoenn, so i'm with you there.

I wish it delivers too, specially post-game because that's what killed my enjoyment of XY tbh.
 
Gen 3 got me back into pokemon after I pretty much abandoned it for fear of being picked on in high school

Buying both and will cherish them. It might be my favorite gen.
 
i remember brawly being tough to be beat, i just hoper this game is harder than the previous entries

The one gym I had a lot of trouble with was Winona ( I had nothing to handle her in my original Ruby and had to power thru her with my Blaziken) I look forward to fighting her again.
 
This game is so much more pretty than X & Y, I can't believe it.

I am so psyched right now.

I have to agree. I wasn't too convinced before but this trailer has really impressed. The colors seem so vivid. If they can deliver these kind of artistic/graphical enhancements along with a noticeable performance increase I'll be in Hoenn heaven.

She was so damn difficulty! and I did an all grass team.
 
How big was XY in comparison?

Don't remind me of my high school years ;~;
I did the same thing.
 
They're changing the story too?
I think it's more like adding more to the story instead of outright changing it entirely.

RS's stories were easily the weakest part of them. They were so... so... stupid. It's like they Aqua and Magma didn't even try to think through their plans.
 
I was a Groudon fan back in the day -- and I still love the big red lug -- but I can't deny the splendor of Primal Kyogre
 
I didn't like RS post game after a generation with another region as a post game. Hopefully they'll add something fro ORAS.

Other stuff needs to return:
- BW2 Move Tutors
- VS Seeker
- Purchasable evolution stones
- Following pokémon (i know this is not in, but still, it would be awesome)
 
Is it just me, or are the battle scenes more lush? I don't remember seeing background trees and mountains in Pokémon X/Y's battles. They look really nice.

As much as I'd love to praise the improved frame rate, a small part of me thinks it could be footage from the more powerful New 3DS. But either way, I hope horde battles will hold up well.

Also great to hear some music for the first time.
 
Makuhita is level 16 instead of 19. It seems to me like the game is going to be easier this time, which is an awful change that was one of the worst parts of X/Y.
 
I want those figures in the states... plz Pokemon Company/Nintendo.

This game is so much more pretty than X & Y, I can't believe it.

I am so psyched right now.

The battles look pretty much the same, but the overworld looks WAY better than XY, I'm actually pretty surprised. Seems Gamefreak learned a lot from XY in terms of visuals.
 
EDIT: It seems Kyogre and Groudons forms are "something else" (Not Mega's), probably so they can transform without a trainer present. Not completely new information I think.

Most likely since even on the official site, these forms have been classified as primal reversions. Though supposedly they hinted it does have some connections to mega evolutions. Maybe the first forms of mega evolution where legendaries were powerful enough to call upon this form without the stone or something?

I see. It would make sense.
 
This 'Mega-Evolution' story angle is just dumb. Game Freak needs to improve on storytelling and cinematography with their cutscenes. Everything is too cookie-cutter.

It all showed great promise in Gen IV and especially Gen V (until N's Castle popped outta nowhere). Feel like Masuda just has no idea how to tell a good story.
 
I can't believe I'm more hyped for a remake of Pokemon game than Smash Bros.

Thank you X/Y for getting me back into Pokemon :D
