Pokemon- Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Discussion

[autiebug]

I AM TOO EXCITED FOR THIS AHHHHHH

I never got a chance to play Ruby or Sapphire growing up because my mom thought Pokemon was ~dumb~ but she can't stop me now ahaha! I can't wait to experience Hoenn and finally have my own fire chicken starter. *u*

Haha, this is awesome! I've finally begun playing X again (for some reason I had stopped playing after getting the first badge) and I was wondering yesterday what would come after X and Y. Seems like this is the answer. I'll be looking forward to this! <3

 

[Prof Gallows]

Actually, nevermind. I didn't realize people were using General for actual discussion.

So you can use this one and I'll give it a sticky until I decide to move everything over to the general discussion.

 

[RhinoK]

If the theory that
Alpha Sapphire is where Aqua succeeds and there's more water
No one will buy it
Or choose Torchic as starter

 

[PaperKangaroo]

I just found out now and I'm so excited ahhh! I loved Ruby so much as a kid and even encountered my first shiny on that game when I was seven! Maybe it'll come around again heheh.

But seriously HOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN

 

[Bread Kennedys]

Great announcement, personally would've liked some gameplay footage still, but overall great announcement.

i havent read anything about these games but i hope they arent just a remake. and adding new places didnt make BW2 that much better imo.

going to copy and paste my response from the general pokemon thread:

?!?!??!??!!?!???!!????!
WHAT
WHYYYYYYY

I want to play it because I never played gen 3 but WTF??!?!?!? It's still compatible with the other games! Are we going to get diamond and pearl remakes in a few years? This.. WTF???
It's like they're ONLY remaking it because they remade the other games! This is dumb! At this rate soon we're going to literally only have remakes! Wait, does this mean they're going to remake firered/leafgreen because they're slightly old too?
I get that other series remake games, but they don't remake EVERY SINGLE GAME IN THE MAIN SERIES ten years after they come out! This doesn't make sense!

I literally don't believe this.

 

[Prof Gallows]

There really isn't any point for you to post the same exact thing in two threads. =p

 

[Nerd House]

Obscenely long post of nonsense

I have 5 words for you that will answer all your questions:

Pokemon is Nintendo's cash cow.

I've been doing some reading

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha#Alpha_and_Omega

Alpha, both as a symbol and term, is used to refer to or describe a variety of things, including the first or most significant occurrence of something. The New Testament has God declaring himself to be the "Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." (Revelation 22:13, KJV, and see also 1:8).

Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet.

/This is a discussion.

^This is probably the most useful comment in this entire thread.

I'll be going sapphire. Like the cover art more and kyogre is better.

 

[Nerd House]

Some pictures I found on another forum, and apparently Nintendo dropped hints about these Alpha Omega titles when they first made Ruby/Sapphire. Look at the symbols for Team Magma and Team Aqua.

... There are people who don't know that? xD

What's weird though is that it's OR/AS and not AR/OS.

I was thinking that too.

*cries because diamond and pearl remakes are coming out in only 3 years*

 

[Javocado]

EMERALD IS MY FAVORITE GAME.
I LOVE 3RD GEN.
POSSIBILITY OF MEGA 3RD GEN LEGEND TRIO/STARTERS.

I hope that somebody interviews GF about this and they go "Looks like we love money after all."

Regardless, I'm getting both on day one.

...now I can forgive them for the great pokebank fiasco of 2013
