Now that we have footage of the overworld, including clear landmarks like Fortree and the hoenn cycling road, plus a confirmed and well detailed Map, I can finally agree that this is a Hoenn based game, though an idea occurred to me and has got me wondering whether this new world mumbo jumbo is fans of pokemon or fans of Hoenn-gen games.

Ie roughly the line said by them was "ORAS promises to take fans of the series through a fascinating new world."
But within Pokemon as a franchise, there are several "series" of games, to which we tend to call "generations", for exapmle: RSE/FRLG is a series within the Pokemon franchise such as XY/ORAS is another "series" of games.
In this case the new world is simply a 3d-hoenn versus the limited 2D it used to have. and fits my description of remake

Or are they referring to a possible "distortion-world" like realm that Kyorge and Groudon once lived in that is visitable. Which in this case deviates from true remake status as far I am concerned.

Either way I'm now officially happy these games are coming out, but this new world part is what I gotta know about before i determine whether or not I'll call them Remakes.
But yeah, I'm glad(and have been) for Hoenn revisits.


As for the Kyogre/Ground changes, I'm a little sad they didnt give Kyorge a weakspot Groudon can exploit, but then again, I prefer Rayquaza outta that bunch...so it's nothing that'll effect me one bit.
Though I'm interested to see how my Kyorge, Reign, handles in their primal design, but not narly as much as I'm looking forward to my Mega Mudzy

Doublepost for Mega Sableye.

How is the most annoying pokemon in the game going to get more annoying? I don't even want to know.

Of course, Sableye is one of those pokemon that like having actual items. It really loves leftovers and IIRC, it is a famous trick user and needs choice scarf for that.

Mega Sableye Trailer link

The description of it implies defensive buffs

It is said that Mega Sableye uses the jewel as a powerful defensive tool in battle. From behind the shelter of the jewel, it can readily exploit the opponent’s weaknesses and take advantage of any openings. It is said that the jewel hardens into such strength that no attack can even make a scratch!

[Aklyon]

I can finally agree that this is a Hoenn based game

Not to be ofensive, but what the crap else would it be? Set in atlantis disguised as a pokemon region? If it was going to not be hoenn, they would've pointed out their new region already.

I wonder if this means they'll take away prankster.

It's clearly Nneoh, the mirror universe counterpart where the heroic teams must wage a desperate war to awaken the legendary guardians of land and sea and liberate the land from the evil self-styled Champion Wallace.  The player must defeat his eight chosen administrators in each city and deal with the consequences of the desperation of vitriolic best buds/rivals Maxie and Archie as they unleash a power they cannot contain, but even if they succeed, they must first face Wallace's elite guard consisting of the highest-ranked trainers in the region: the treacherous and underhanded Sydney, the fallen shrinekeeper of Mt. Pyre Phoebe, the cold and calculating Glacia, and the brutal and direct Drake, before they can finally overthrow him and succeed in their goal.  However, there are rumours that even Wallace himself was advised by another.  Though the Devon Corp seems outwardly friendly and willing to help the player, rumours have arisen about their rise to wealth under Wallace's reign of terror and the mysterious absence of the president's son, a rockhound and scientist who has pursued the mysterious Kalosian arts of empowering Pokemon in unnatural ways, the man who was once Wallace's friend.  And just how did Maxie and Archie come by the knowledge of the Primal transformation that promised them the power to defeat Wallace, but instead drove their plans to ruin as Primal Kyogre and Groudon rampaged through the region?

Not to be offensive but are you incapable of reading? Nintendo themselves stated ORAS:"will take players through a spectacular new world" BEFORE they said anything about it being situated in Hoenn of which the only hints it was were the titles Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and Version mascots being augmented Groudon and Kyorge.
Also I stated multiple times that considering how many mold-breakings they've done in BW/B2W2 & XY I was being cautious with my excitement as I live by the advice "expect the worst and hope for the best."

SOMEBODY MAKE THIS IMMEDIATELY

I had a thing about them having history of sticking to the same region if the title is directly related to a previous one and not ignoring that in your worst predictions, but Culise's post is far better, so lets go with that.

-- The most beautiful thing I have ever read --

Honnis confirmed!

But anyway, I'm really looking forward for ORAS, Ruby was the first Pokemon game I ever played (followed by Blue and Gold when my friend gave me his old GBC games).  I kind of wish Emerald were being remade too, but we can't have everything :p

[Tawa]

I'm guessing that this will include the Battle Frontier, Trainer Hill, the Sootopolis Tag Battle, and other such aspects of Emerald.

I mean, in Emerald, there were a few aesthetic differences, an extra fight or something, and a different Champion, as well as a few extra minutes of story. Most of those could be incorporated into ORAS.
