Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire announced

[Remoir]

Did they make this trailer in a rush or something because they posted losses again?

Could at least have included some footage for a game that is supposedly only 6 months out from launching...

pls wait until E3 sir don't you see how close we are!!!!

If they wanted us to wait until e3 for us to see the game, they should have announced it at e3.

I'm a bit fed up of nintendo announcing games too early (Where the hell is shin megami tensei x fire emblem?)

[Remoir]

Well i could see it as a way to hype their e3 presentation i guess.

Hopefully it's not the only big game this christmas because I'm more into pokemon for the catch em all aspect, and no new pokemon (mega evos don't count!) puts a bit of a damper on the amount I care about the remakes.

The thing I'm most interested in is if they do include a coupon for a months worth of pokemon bank with the games, or something, otherwise I'm ready to declare that intergen trading is officially behind a paywall for any games to come, which would suck.

One of my biggest hopes for this game is new pokemon.
I was under the impression that X and Y had so few pokemon because they were going to add more in the next game, along with the region they were hinting at.

Them saying something along the lines of a "new land/world" kinda suggests the game is either going to go beyond Hoenn, or not be set there at all.
Can you imagine how cool it would be if you complete the game, and then get given a ticket to go to a tropical region which has a few new pokemon? would be awesome.

[ShinkuDragon]

oh freaking lord, finally, will it be coming will it be coming? this game had the most amazing things ever!

MACH BIKE
FASTEST EGG-BREEDING
TRUMPETS
SECRET BASES

i'll get a stroke before the game comes out.

[Lozmaster]

Actually, now that I think about it, streetpass secret bases might be enough for me to jump in again if they let you battle the people you pass.

However, given X/Ys streetpass options may well have been the absolute worst use of them on the system, I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

[KhainiWest]

Guess I'll have to 100% complete my X/Y now, so that I can prepare for the greatest generation of pokemon ever

[TugboatWilly]

I still haven't finished Y yet :| filthy casual

I still haven't even played X/Y yet.

[Razmos]

Jesus christ there are fake scans already.

[Lozmaster]

Jesus christ there are fake scans already.

There were fake scans before the announcement. They've been around for months if they're the ones I'm thinking of.

[SuperNerd]

'Bout pineappleing time.

I'll still buy it--mainly cause I just love playing Pokemon games and having a refreshing new one to play every so often--but I will admit that Ruby/Sapphire are my least favourite Generation. I hate 3rd. Hopefully they'll remedy some of the issues I had with the original games that made me so jaded.

[Kojo]

I hope these are sequels and not remakes.

[KhainiWest]

I hope these are sequels and not remakes.

Why not both!?

[CrimsonJohnny]

Holy crap, it's happening. 3DS Hoenn remakes. It was my FAVORITE reigon, for many reasons already stated in posts above. I can only imagine rolling around Hoenn in glorious 3D.

GET HYPE.

[Lozmaster]

I hope these are sequels and not remakes.

Nope, not happening.
They couldn't possibly make another significantly new pokemon game in the year since X/Y.

Heck, B2/W2 took a 1.5years from the launch of B/W and those were probably the most phoned in pokemon games in a long time.

Obviously I wouldn't mind being wrong on this, but it's extremely unlikely.

B2W2 were also sequels instead of straight up rehashes to BW like Platinum and Emerald were to D/P and R/S respectively. And there's a guy in X/Y who gives you an item for a region that's not Hoenn.

I think it's still possible.

Which item was that again?

The Strange Souvenir

[MariettaRC]

I skipped over gen3 when it came along, so I'm going to get one of these.
I'm going for Ruby of course, can't wait to explore Hoenn myself for the first time. :D

Same here! I skipped Gen 3 and 4 (and 5 but that one was due to lack of money while the other two were due to lack of interest) so I'm very glad to see this happening! No idea what version I'd go with, though.

[Hanabira.Kage]

That's a...sparse video.

Gen III was the first generation I really really got into. I'm so hyped for this.

HERE I COME MEGA SWAMPERT
