LOL!
 
I feel the need to says this as I think everyone is jumping the gun a little bit here.

As far as we know, the game does not take place in hoenn, as the trailer says "new region" (tho I am gonna take a **** and say that some places in hoenn will be accessible)
Because of this, I think there is a chance we might not see the return of contests, poke blocks, secret bases, or even tape battle frontier, because the game isn't located in hoenn. So everyone who is saying "ZOMGL this is returning HOLLA praise mah Jesus" I think you need to understand that just because the third gen is getting remade, doesn't mean hoenn will be remade along with it.

Not only that, but the only info we've got so far is a 30 second trailer with no gameplay. We have no idea about anything else so far.


That said, I am remaining optimistic about contests, secret bases and the battle frontier returning (not so much pokeblocks as they seem pointless now, but if they bring back contests they have purpose so idk).
And I'd expect some gameplay footage some time soon, tbh I find it weird they didn't show any off... Obviously the game must be pretty far I d development if it's coming in six months, but I still don't see any reason as to wh
By they didn't show off any gameplay??? Maybe it's just ninty being ninty, but I'm guessing this is because the game doesn't take place in hoenn, and they want to keep this new place under locks as much as possible, tho even still, I am hoping some places of hoenn will be included.

But then again, that's just me speculating because as I said, we know absolutely nothing about the game.
 
It didn't say new region. I believe the words were new area or something along those lines.

Yeah you're right, it says "new world" which to me is virtually the same thing as a region

I mean, the weird thing is, it's called Ruby and Sapphire, and it even has the version mascots.

They could be referring to the updated/3D graphics for all we know. They tend to stay that type of thing when new graphics are involved, like "enjoy this fresh new world!"

Ye tru but considering they pulled sequels on black and white when everyone was expecting a grey version so I wouldn't be surprised if they did something like this for ruby/sapphire. Like I'm not saying the whole game won't take place in hoenn entirely, I'm just saying I think most/some of it will take place elsewhere, or it will maybe be like bw2,, with a new area (tho much larger I guess??) or something has happened to the hoenn region, and it's been renamed. Honestly I don't know, but I just don't think they're gonna happen in hoenn.

They had loads of space for text, they could've easily added in the word "fresh". That, along with no gameplay shown, is why I don't think they take place in hoenn... There is obviously gameplay footage,, they just chose to it include it for whatever reasons.
 
Just realized that ONLY EUROPE and JAPAN will get the colored boxes. It seems like US always gets the bad end of the stick with these things.

Where's the confirmation that the Europeans will get a colored box as well? I only see Japan and Korea getting those, with the English boxes being white.
