I hope those covers are hinting at Mega-Kyogre and Mega-Groudon.

It looks like Europe is getting the game in red/blue game cases, really hope they do that here in NA too. Of all the gens, I've found Gen 3 hardest to go back to after subsequent Gens (although I really enjoyed R/S/E when they came out), so I'm beyond excited for this.

After all the trading up, I'm so glad that gen 3 didn't pull a 2 and hinge the save files on the same battery as the internal clock. It's nice to be able to still use the games.

But come November it won't matter as much! :woop:

"TENTATIVE PACKAGING", of course, but here: https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/464044837704974336 , it's like that in their video as well, compared to NOA's updates which have the standard color.

Oh man. What a day to play hooky from work! :woop: I get to see this announcement fresh!

I am so freaking excited! Hoenn is my favorite region and I've had a team picked out for months that I planned to use in the Gen3 remakes when/if they were announced!

Although my fondness for Gen3 might be partially due to the fact that it was the current gen when I met my now-husband. :3:

Regardless, so excited! I had planned to rock Torchic (always pick Torchic), Gardevoir, Breloom, Walrein, Manectric, and Aggron. All Hoenn Pokes, and at least two of those I've never used before... most of them I haven't used since Gen3. Let's do this!

As a fan, in the grand scheme, yea I'm kinda tired of that too and wish they'd focus on new things.

As a fanboy nerdlord, though, I loved Hoenn you fuckin heretic and I'm excited to see one of my favorite generations get a 3d redo.

So basically if this was Diamond and Pearl I'd be with you but nope this is one of my favorites so the fanboy blinders are firmly strapped on.

Thankfully for me i've only ever played two Pokemon games, so this is all fresh, but I can understand fan frustration for those who have been playing the series since the beginning.

I wonder if they will keep the trumpets? It's become a pretty iconic part of that generation and it would be wierd to remove them now.
I also wonder if it will be a full 3D remake or sprites?

I feel like Hoenn had some neat locations - the volcano and ash covered route, there was a tree-tops town, and the one island you had to dive to get to. I don't remember it favorablely because of the water routes, lack of variety of pokemon, lack of pokemon I liked, and the fact I think I was cooling off on pokemon in general at the time I played it.

Safe bet it will be 3D like X&Y, reusing all those pokemon models.

My pending team for Omega Ruby is a remake of my Gen 3 team. Swampert, Blazikin (hopefully Megastones can trade over and work here if swampert doesn't get one), Sceptile, Flygon, Metagross (Jirachi eventually replaced him, but I haven't had a Legend in my team since gen 4 so...) and Mightyena. (always like mightyena's design but man it's stats... :negative:

Just a cage of bones, there's nothing inside.
Gen 3 was poo poo because it removed the day/night cycle and weekday specific events.

We have the technology to bring these back though. Gen 3 doesn't have to keep sucking. This is their chance to redeem the entirety of Hoenn.

E: if they bring back secret bases and make them internet-capable, holy poo poo

It's certainly going to be 3D. They made an entirely new engine for X&Y, they're going to keep using it.

I didn't love any of the Hoenn starters, I only tolerated Treecko. Other than that I loved Hoenn's region, the pokemon, the diversity, story, ect. The water routes were annoying, but I prefer water routes to caves.

I remember struggling to reach the end of gen 3 because the region is loving atrocious but come on man Johto was just as bad.

I'm hoping the BRAND NEW WORLD or whatever means they changed things to be less terrible.

Considering the whole mythos around Groudon and Kyogre is about creating land/sea or something I could see that being an excuse to change up the world a bunch.

I will admit the starters were the least interesting in generations, to me at least, but yea pretty much everything else was great.

One of the biggest only things I really liked about DPP that I hope they work into this game is Gym Leader interactions. In DPP you did something with almost all the Gym Leaders before fighting them to sort of get introduced to their character. I thought that was really neat. :3:

In RSE the only gym leaders you ever even really talk to are Wattson and and Wallace (and your dad I guess). It felt especially weird for Winona and the psychic twins because while you're working on defeating them nothing else is happening in the story either. The only thing I remember about RSE between the 5th and 8th gym are that you have to catch a Kecleon at one point.

For my money this is one of the biggest things GameFreak can improve on for the remake, but i'm a big sucker for aesthetics and character in games so maybe that's just me. v:shobon:v

I've played pretty much every Pokemon game since the age of 4. I've enjoyed all of them and looking forward to an improved 3D world of Hoenn. Doesn't matter, new games/region will probably coming 2015 anyway, so this is a nice step on the Gen VI ladder.
