I remember wanting to find this place so badly only to learn later that there was nothing particularly useful there anyways

If you read what you quoted, you'd realize that it very much is possible. Due to how it happens though, there'd be the possibility of people removing the patch data that was stored on the SD card, and causing issues with it.
Rival battles need improvements. Currently RSE have the worst rivals in the series, and it's not even close.
Pt>BW2>HGSS>E>FRLG=RBY>BW>XY>GSC=RS>DP
Nope. No idea, but I don't know why they'd be forms when mega evos were the main new sixth gen gimmick.
That tier list is terrible

Totally not biased in any way, shape, or form.

Ugh, I hate gen wars, but since we are here, let me rank the games according to my tastes (because there is nothing official about opinions):
Platinum
Black/White
Emerald
Black 2/White 2
Fire Red/Leaf Green
Heart Gold/Soul Silver
X/Y
The others are the just the others. I see no reason to put games that eventually got remakes/third versions on the rank.

Exactly! It'll probably not be so pointless anymore! I highly doubt they'll flat out ignore it. Maybe they'll look back on it and decide to add a bunch of cool things to it.

Yeah, I loved the ability to make secret bases and fight your friends in their secret base. Especially since you still got xp (and by extension evs, though that didn't matter to me back then) so you could use them to gain a lot of experience. And secret bases are a perfect match for streetpass as well, so if they're cut or downgraded I'll be super disappointed
I honestly strongly expect that.
2014-Hoenn Remakes
2015-Z or X2 Y2 or XZ YZ or XYZ Dragon Cannon
2016-FRLG Remakes
2017-New gen.
I know, it's not technically an annual franchise, but at this point it's pretty close to one, and it seems they're at a pretty good point where they've got enough teams to pump out quality games yearly.

If you can go to johto after game it would be awesome.
Gold and silver set the standard that the game wasn't barren after completion with discovering the old land after you already saw credits.
Hoeen totally missed the boat with that although I guess the battle frontier made up for that.
Having the game vs finished after the elite four is so unoriginal and unfufilling now a days. IG made Pokemon gold and silver really feel meaty.

I was pointing out how absurd it is to call Gen 3 a betrayal. I don't like that gen, but I can understand why people like it. :/
Fuck me, I just realised the Wii Fit U pedometer is the HeartGold/SoulSilver pedometer reskinned.
Mind = blown.
I think it was just poor wording on TPC/Nintendo's part, a "fresh take" on Ruby/Sapphire makes it seem like they're just remakes.
No it didn't. There's not shit to do after Red. I wouldn't consider the champion the end of Gold/Silver/Crystal, because than the games are too short. If you count Red, the game's about the same length as the other games. But there's still not jack to do after him. Even in HGSS I didn't really feel there was much to do after him.

sapphire is actually my most played pokemon game! Can't wait!
it would be a battle compatibility patch so that any new formes can be battled between games. It's like how fighting game DLC usually works. You need to put the characters in the base game even if they can't use them to allow online fighting.
Agreed re; the other Mega's being overdesigned.
I'm actually already fully onboard with this idea lol, would much prefer they stick to this than make even more abominations like Mega Mewtwo X & Y.

Now that I seen it, I want this to happen too
I know, I was agreeing with you
Well, they don't have as drastic design changes as existing Mega Evolutions; for example, their silhouettes are identical to their original designs, while every other Mega Evolution has a drastically different silhouette.
My (out there) theory is that OR/AS aren't direct remakes of R/S. So far, the games in each generation have taken place at the same time (barring the explicit sequels B2/W2), with the chronology R/B/Y = R/S/E = FR/LG -> G/S/C = D/P/Pt = HG/SS -> B/W -> B2/W2 -> X/Y.
If OR/AS follow this trend and take place after Ruby/Sapphire, it might be the case that the Groudon/Kyogre in OR/AS aren't the same Groudon/Kyogre that were in the originals.
This is all most likely rubbish, but the new Groudon/Kyogre designs don't necessarily have to be Mega Evolutions.

I will flip if Brendan or May got the Lyra treatment. Kris was robbed.
I've always rolled with the female every time since Crystal.
If may looks like that, then that streak won't be broken

Creating smaller/different models for 700+ following Pokémon would be too much work for a pointless gimmick. I love it too, but I simply don't see it happening.

Did you not read? I'm sure I said finishing the elite four feels barren and dry that didn't happen in gold and silver.

Looks official. I'm curious if they will keep the character customization and simply expand on it.
Couldn't they just shrink the models they have?
They're compatible if you have a DS with a GBA slot, a 3DS, a 4th gen game, a 5th gen game, and X or Y. You can then transfer them from one game to the next.
Compatible in the sense that you can transfer from RSE all the way up to XY but you need a system that is no longer manufactured.
If you consider compatibility to require games no longer produced or sold, and two other games to get to that point then sure.
But no, they're really not.

I am not familiar with 3D modeling, but wouldn't they look like crap if you shrink them?
They don't make remakes solely for compatibility issues. They make them because it is easy money and people love dem remakes.
Oh yeah, I'd just like to say I hate May's weirdly stiff/gravity-defying hair.
Although usually female player design > male player design, male hair > female hair.
Dawn has the best hairstyle of the default player characters, though some of X/Y's styles are pretty good as well (the default X/Y style looks messy though).
It won't be an issue if they include X/Y's hairdresser (c'mon Game Freak, you'd better keep character customisation).

This makes me wonder if we'll get remakes of Diamond and Pearl if the next Nintendo handheld drops backwards compatibility with the DS.

I can't wait for these games. I think I'll start yet another Emerald run.
It might happen. Though it might just be a slight redesign and then you can customize their hair and clothes later on.
I mean, if you're saying that all Hoenn Pokemon are in 4-6th gen games then I think that's true.
If you're talking about being able to send Pokemon from 3rd to 6th gen, that is a convoluted process. To get from gen 3 to 4 you have to use the pal park with a restriction of only 6 Pokemon per 24 hours, then you send those Pokemon to gen 5 which is much easier but still takes too much time since you have to go six Pokemon at a time but with no daily restrictions. Then you finally send them to PokeBank and have XY withdraw them.
Anything and everything is patchable; that doesn't mean it will be. In this case, it becomes more of an infrastructure and compatibility problem than a content one.
Not really sure what problem you're seeing here, but transferring Pokémon from Ruby and Sapphire to X and Y is an entire process that requires you to have a Gen 4 and Gen 5 game too.
Most likely, I can't say I mind though, as the Pokemon remakes are amazing.
They could, but remember that the game uses two different models - world models and battle models. The battle models, which are made to be more fully-proportioned, would look really jarring next to the more deformed and simplified ones used everywhere else.
Agreed. If there's one developer that really nails remakes, it's Game Freak. Screw all that 'HD Port' bullshit.
Pick Omega Ruby. I'm going to need more people to ruin with Alpha Kyogre.
You know you want the superior Alpha Sapphire.
