Pokemon- Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Discussion

But what if it'd just show you an Ace Trainer? Would it still be weird?
That's how it in G4 and G5. I don't remember if that's how it worked in G3, but I wouldn't be surprised if they kept customization exclusive to X/Y (for now).

It would be weird to see an Ace trainer. The only characters to have 3D models in battle are your character, your friends, Sycamore, and Lysandre. Ace trainers and all other types of trainers are only 2D. I don't think Gamefreak will go through the work of making 3D models of the characters instead of just bringing back customization.

I suppose so, but wouldn't they have to update X/Y in order to include the OR/AS character models?

It's probably hidden away in the game, along with Audinite and the other new Mega Stones.

It's probably hidden away in the game, along with Audinite and the other new Mega Stones.

If Audinite were hidden in X/Y, it would have been found already. Don't forget that everything was revealed soon after X/Y's release, including the Lati@site. No other Mega Stones were in the data, meaning that if the new Mega Evolutions were to fully appear in X/Y, it'd have to be updated. Or they could just do it like Deoxys in 3rd Gen, as well as Shaymin and Giratina in D/P, where you just see the normal sprite but their stat and ability changes are still applied.

 

[Cress]

It probably will be through an update then.

 

[LambdaDelta]

yeah, we're definitely getting a patch

Good riddance, crap feature with crap options.

My hubby keeps up with stuff like this, would almost swear he told me he read something about X&Y being patched for this when the new games release. I'd have to ask him to be 100% sure...

 

[LambdaDelta]

they'll have to patch

you don't even have to keep up with news much to know this

none of the recently revealed megas and such are in X/Y's coding, so unless they're just gonna have the games be heavily incompatible with OR/AS (hint: they won't) a patch will be required and thus done

when i heard altaria was getting a mega i burst into tears
altaria has ALWAYS been my favourite since RSE and im so happy thank you gamefreak

Altaria WAS and IS always on my team. Whether its competitive (still learning!) or casual, I love using Altaria. Also, ITS A BIRD FOR PETE'S SAKE!!

Platinum wasn't incompatible with Diamond and Pearl. Again, the stat changes are there, it's just that it uses the regular Pokemon form. I'd like to see them update X/Y for this as well but don't say it'll be incompatible when they've done this before.

wasn't platinum only a small handful of changes though?

plus its methods were pretty different


like how do you allow or show a megavolution if there's no coding to say "hey this thing can megavolve" on the opposite side?

there's far too much new this time to get by with no patch and have the games communicate properly with one another unless you just disallow using the new megas, which would just be a really poor move when the option to patch is now readily available

 

[727]

i'm so excited because have pre-ordered pokemon omega ruby and the strategy guide.man i can't wait for november.

 

[MoonlightAbsol]

What exactly were the changes from DP to Platinum? I can't seem to remember anything aside from things like improving the overall speed/flow of the game.

Didn't people find the Lati@site in XY though?
I'm pretty sure they'll have a patch for XY, I'll be really sad if they didn't.

Argh I really want to preorder these games so bad (Emerald's my fav game) but I'm gonna be at an airport the day they're released. And then I'm gonna be out of the country for a week long vacation XD I mean, I'm still looking forward to the vacation but I need these games so bad omg. I don't know if I can wait an extra week to play them

origin giratina for one


also yeah, but those were the only megas X/Y had that got leaked and aren't officially obtainable yet iirc

not entirely sure why they were the only things coded though, aside from the possible obvious answer that all the other new megas were still on the drawing board

Can't believe I forgot about Giratina... Wow I just recently played through Platinum too. Well, more like back in May but whatever

Maybe haha. I'm not sure how far in advance GF plans these things, but I think that they should have had at least some done while programming X and Y. Or at least maybe had an idea?? I think that X and Y were probably in development for a while (based off that whole deal about Sakurai choosing Greninja for Smash way early), so they might've had time to think of some Hoenn megas. But then again, they probably weren't thinking too much about Hoenn megas while making XY haha. But with all those RSE nods/"hints" in the Gen V games, I kinda have to wonder...

Maybe they didn't program them so hackers couldn't leak them and be all like "HOENN CONFIRMED!!1!" the day XY came out? Hahaha just kidding Still doesn't explain Lati@s though :/

Rotom's other forms were added. (Mow, heat, wash, etc.)

Ah ok. I guess not knowing this stuff is what I get for joining the fandom at gen V... I should've played FireRed like all my other classmates did when I was in first grade ugh

I've never played Platinum and I've barely seen any footage of people playing it other than the Distortion World. I just know this stuff somehow. :/

From Bulbapedia? XD I got a lotta info from there back in 2011. I spent my summer that year browsing through nearly every page haha

Unfortunately, I know Sinnoh the least because it was "that one region" that I told myself I was never gonna play since it didn't look that interesting. But the more I didn't have it, the more I wanted to play it, especially when I had played a game from every region except Sinnoh ugh

But I'm kinda getting off topic now so... Did anybody else notice that Brendan is wearing a mask during the underwater part of the new Japanese trailer? It's about 41 seconds in. But he isn't wearing the go-goggles in the next shot, when he's in the desert
