My local Gamestop equivalent, EB Games, literally just this second posted a trailer for Omega and Alpha R/S.
It shows shit all, just "new adventure" "ruby and sapphire" "november 2014", and that's it - but i sincerely hope this isn't a joke...

[Mageziya]

I thought EB games died and was bought by gamestop.

It's real.

[Aklyon]

That doesn't mean they had to change all the signs. They're just run by gamestop until the sign needs replacement.

(Translation: BY ARMOK THIS WILL BE GREAT)

How will they ever match the glory of LEGENDARY HOENN in EPIC 3D? I can't wait for screenshots.

Also, that ARCHNEMESIS of mine (who, on another note, I creamed twice in a row) is going to be thrilled to hear this. I think his first game was Ruby.

Another pal of mine was torn between Sapphire's "Alpha" prefix and Ruby's general manliness, weighed against it being lowest in the pack.

They did.

They also decided to keep the brand and for some reason are also using the EB games brand internationally instead of Gamestop.

I wonder how many new megaevolutions there will be. It's pretty exciting. Think of all the lame, worthless or semi-useless pokemon that can be freshened up and made overpowered. Imagine Mega Ludicolo with freaking drizzle! Mega Golem with levitate! Mega Dodrio with gale wings! Mega Wailord with regenerator! Mega Spinda that still has contrary but is now FIGHTING TYPE! Mega Cradily that becomes steel / grass!

Or overpowered pokemon made SUPER overpowered.

Mega Slaking loses Truant for Huge Power. Also gains additional +100 to stats.

It'd be the most overpowered thing in the universe.

Truant being literally the only thing keeping Slaking from Ubers, too.
It's not outrageously slow, it's got good defenses, huge HP, and high attacking stats.

Mega Slaking if such a thing existed would probably just lose Truant for something that has very situational use in battle, I'd bet.

[Furtuka]

Then they go the complete opposite direction and give it a Parental Bond variant.

[Reudh]

Or heck, just giving it a Truant variant that makes it miss 1/3 instead of 1/2 of its turns.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Trade Truant for Defeatist.

[umiman]

Trade Truant for Defeatist.

Lol...

Or Slow Start, which is only 40% as crap due to Slaking being able to learn Protect.

[Cerol Lenslens]

People have been waiting five years for this. It's reached half-life 3 levels of memeness because of how much people kept expecting it with every announcement.

And here I was thinking it was wishful thinking: The first two games needed remakes because they couldn't be traded from to later games. Ruby and Sapphire don't have that distinction. I'm pretty sure I've got some pokes from my RSE games on my XY cart right now.

Honestly it is the only thing keeping me from using Regigigas.

The odd thing I find is that Regigigas wouldn't be that good without it.
