Pokemon- Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Discussion

[Shirohibiki]

This exactly. ^^^^ it's great for kids to help them grasp the basic concepts of how to play Pokemon, but us experts/semi experts who have played these games for years feel like the games are way too easy now. I restarted my Emerald game a couple months ago and enjoyed the difficulty of it way more than X/Y or any of those B/W games. I hope Nintendo finds a fix to this, maybe include difficultly modes that we can choose from before we start the game. Beginner, Normal, Expert modes or something.

LMFAO REAL TALK THO EMERALD IS SO HARDDDDDDDD. i think you have to grind more in older gens like that and i hate grinding non-trainers RIP ME
im not sure theyll ever do modes. and im not entirely sure if i want them to? i mean ig uess i wouldnt mind (give is more than 1 savefile nintendo) but yeah it was kind of...weird...to watch imo.
i feel like a vanilla wow player saying how "easy" wow is today oh my god

Actually I changed my mind. I'm super excited for this! Yay Mudkip, my 3rd favourite Pokemon!
I'm still going to whine when firered/leaf green remakes get announced next year though

A lot of people seem to be getting very excited about this, personally I'm only just learning to deal with all the new stuff in X and Y as the last one I played prior to X and Y were the originals :/

My daughters birthday is in November and she's been bugging the life out of me for a Pokemon game so I can imagine this would probably be a great game for her but my only concerns will be in the difficulty? What do you think? Would it be too much for a 6 year old as the depth X and Y seem to have leaves me wondering sometimes and I don't want her to get upset if I don't know how to help her out :/

Pokemon was really hard for me when I was 6 because I didn't understand types or moves or anything. So you might have to help her a bit. Although I think I tried to solo with a ditto so that might be the reason

Mega Swampert please!

I don't think the box art hints at anything. I have a Kyorge and Groudon in Pokemon X, and they look as if its their normal model. I'm guessing that OR/AS will be reusing the old models, BUT, every different set of Pokemon games use different sprites. Do you think that they will use different models in OR/AS?

uhm
I seriously seriously SERIOUSLY doubt that'd happen
It is a remake
We already saw Kanto in HG/SS (which, let's be honest, would be the better remake to remake)
Those two games' only purpose was because there was no way to transfer pokemon to Gen III and therefore impossible to complete the Pokedex, with a lot of the Johto and Kanto pokemon not being available in Hoenn

I don't know if someone already posted this, but this is from Serebii.net:

Following its reveal yesterday, there has been some question as to the actual content of Pok?mon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, as to whether they're remakes or new versions due to the wording of the announcement. During the Investor Briefing today, Satoru Iwata confirmed that Pok?mon Omega Ruby & Pok?mon Alpha Sapphire are full-remakes of the 2002 releases, Pok?mon Ruby & Sapphire.

Sounds like they are in fact remakes!!! These are absolutely the most exciting games for me! Even more than X and Y! Can't wait!

OMEGAwd I can't wait to get Ruby!

FireRed and LeafGreen were made because of lack of Kanto Pokemon in Hoenn and incompatibility between Gen 1/2 and Gen 3.

HeartGold and SoulSilver were made because they wanted newer fans to experience Johto.

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHH

So excited for this game. X and Y were fantastic sequels for the pokemon series but didn't quite suit me that well. Hoping these give me a change of heart like they did years ago when I first played them.

Which means it will be based in Hoenn?

 

[Zeiro]

why would they NOT be remakes based in Hoenn?

The Emerald Frontier was pretty hard. I didn't feel like completing it.

I did complete the Platinum Frontier, though.

 

[Jake]

[Shirohibiki]

i think i only beat one person in the emerald frontier
