Debug Mode Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 What city do you reckon they'll edit to be like it in ORAS? Rustboro, Slateport or Lilycove? :p It's hard to say. It would take quite a bit of reimagining any city in Hoenn for it, maybe in the post-game region? We do have the hint from the guy who gives you the strange souvenir after all, unless the different region was a massive red herring. So who knows? Maybe we'll get a second region ala Gold and Silver, maybe they'll be all political and have us visit something modelled on Senkaku! (Though my guess would be Shikoku or Okinawa if they actually do a second region) The crack pots over at /vp/ have some theorists that believe it'll be the same story line and characters, but a completely redesigned region.

I've seen quite a few rumblings about that too, mostly going off the fact that announcement video mentions a "dramatic new world". Bit weird of them to call Hoenn a "new" world... But nah, I don't think it'll be redesigned too significantly really. Of course changes will be made, what with it being 3D now and all, but not THAT dramatic (unless there's also another smaller region to go along with it...)

I think it's just marketing talk for the new fans. Pokemon still has a lot of kid players, for them it'll be brand new. If it does change, there's probably some engine restriction to it, or that it doesn't artistically work well in 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Oh man, Luminose City.. It felt so refreshing at first, but I think the lack of any camera controls killed the appeal very quickly. You know they realised they designed it badly when they put short cuts in so you can actually find the places. I think it will be a new town if they add one to Hoenn. It does makes me wonder why they didn't mentioned Hoenn in the reveal trailer though. Here's a live link though, it's on it 5 minutes. Edit: Or not, got to wait until after the Anime episode airs...

Falcon_BlizZACK Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Why? the surprise has gone. I kinda fucking agree... Would have made E3 the more spectacular in hindsight. Annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debug Mode Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Why? the surprise has gone. True, the surprise would have made it even more amazing, but I'm absolutely pining for more information and footage now, and this is hyping me up for it. I guess they just couldn't bear to have the negative, financial news looming and needed something to prop things up a bit. There's no way that wasn't the intention.

I guess they just couldn't bear to have the negative, financial news looming and needed something to prop things up a bit. There's no way that wasn't the intention. Nintendo wouldn't be the ones who decide on when to announce the game directly, that would be The Pokemon Company's duty. If TPC would rather wait till E3, then that's what they'd do. Obviously they want to save the first footage till then, but still wanted to get the word out before then (probably to not let it get overshadowed by anything else during the event. It's not like Pokemon isn't big enough in of itself to generate hype without the backing of a big event like E3 - and Pokemon games are very rarely announced during E3 itself anyway).

Serebii Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 There's that, too. CoroCoro promises that new content will come & be revealed in the issue next month, currently set for release on June 14th 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Somehow, the footage shown didn't surprise me in the slightest. I knew it was going to be nothing interesting. I'm still hyped for OmegaRuby though, despite 3rd gen being one of my least favourite games in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how the footage is literally "Here's the bit where Groudon is awakened" and then straight after, "And here's the same thing with a less cool Pokemon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
