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.
I stopped caring about this when it became clear it was marketing BS. The back of the HeartGold/SoulSilver box promises "Thrilling New Adventures" as well, but it was a straight up remake, for the most part. Be careful about reading too much into game announcements.

That said, feel free to keep your expectations where you want, just do a bit of research to see how they've marketed past games and... try not to fill every post in the thread with squees.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

I think that the general idea is that their intended target audience at the moment is ten year old kids, who would have been too young to read back when Ruby and Sapphire first came out. They would be taken on a "thrilling new adventure" by playing through a Hoenn redux, having been incapable of playing when Original Ruby / clAssic Sapphire (ORAS for short :P) when they existed.

They damn well better include Emerald's Battle Frontier. That was the best part of the postgame.

They trademarked the new version of Emerald too didn't they? They might save it for that.

Hopefully they don't though.

Considering in the past they also trademarked Waterblue and a bunch of other stuff, it's probably just to keep their bases covered just in case

The outfits alone imply that they won't actually make Delta Emerald. They just don't want people to create bootlegs called "delta emerald".

I thought that "Σmerald" would have been the best.

Sigma? really Sigma?
I don't agree by a long shot.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were likely chosen as XY are emglish Alphabet and the Hoenn Region shares a lot of themes with Kalos, and they wanted a Alphbetic name scheme to use but no repeat English Letters
There's also the extreme cultural symbolisims:
Water supports and therefore cradles life, a begining so to spak, Hence Alpha Sapphire //wheras// Lava and quakes destroy and ruin lives, Hence Omega Ruby.
That plus Sapphire in the manga was the girl, women often are considered the cradles of life in popular culture, whereas men are takers of life within those same cultural references.
Alpha(the beginning, giver of life) & Omega(the ending, taker of life) are the theme here...

So ultimately, Sigma, as well as any other Greek letter, has no true place within this theme

However I do like the thought of Delta Emerald
Delta is represented in greek letters by a triangle, this triangle shape could hint at the fact that Kyorge Groudon and Rayquaza are a trinity rather than a pair between Kyorge and Groudon.
These three legendaries take some influence from the tales of Leviathan(kyorge) Behemoth(Groudon) and Ziz(Rayquaza), the Hebrew mythologic beasts of Water, Land and Air said to be unconquerable by men.

Even so, the fact that past remakes have been in pair-only format can be overlooked for the same reason as my earlier skepitcism: The Past 6 games(BW/B2/W2/XY) have broken the "Pokemon Mold", so who knows, we may(based on mold-breaking history {aka the hope for the best}) or may not(based on past actions {aka the expect the worst}) get Delta Emerald.

My opinion on whether or not to make Delta Emearld? None yet, I wanna try ORAS first.

How about ♎-Ruby?

This is what happens why I try to make a joke.

Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

The Past 6 games(BW/B2/W2/XY) have broken the "Pokemon Mold"
Where did XY break the "mold"?

Sixty-some new Pokémon? That's small, but not mold-breaking-worthy. Villains that knock over houses? Rocket had no qualms about breaking into them. Introduction of a new type? Generation 2, baby. Mega Evolution? New game mechanics have been thrown into the game for years. Double battles, tag battles, triple battles, rotation battles, Arceus and the crazy plate stuff. 3D graphics? It's an upgrade to match the new system.
