i don't even give a fuck cause i'm gettin it
i just hope they have the emerald storyline and not the split one
Hell yes. About friggin time
Sigh. I wasn't hoping they wouldn't make this. Gen III just wasn't that great to me other than the physical environments which at the time added a lot of color and personality to the world compared with the first two generations. I remember there was always a point where it seemed like I was overleveled and then I would surf across a short water section and all of a sudden I'd be underleveled and have to grind. I hate grinding
That said I can see myself being bored and blowing money on this if I have the income. I have a problem.

Have the cartridge batteries expired on those games yet? I know that was an issue with Red/Blue and Gold/Sapphire. I guess I could see it from that perspective. Also I guess it's hard to transfer pokemon all the way from a GBA game now but I think most of the Gen III pokemon have been put in the other games anyway??

Agreed
frick frack you I'm excited now
jesus christ who is playing with the censors now
I figured this would happen, but I honestly didn't expect it to happen so soon. Pretty pumped to play Gen III with the new mechanics. Having actual physical/special moves instead of it depending simply on what type it is, and other such stuff. The 3D-ness is just a nice plus.
But are you excited for the trumpets?
talk dirty to me xDDDD
oh, and it'll be great to have another game directly compatible with pokemon bank, with pokemon able to move back and forth, just like x/y
uh, presuming that it will be. at least, i don't see why it wouldn't be. probably just can't move post-gen iii pokemon to it

With the Gold/Silver remakes you could move any pokemon from any generation available at the time to them so I don't see why this would be different

I doubt there will be trumpets
Have you heard any of the Hoenn songs in non-GBA games like Pokemon XD or Black2/White2? They lose most trumpets. These games are no exception; unless we get another GB Music key item, it's not like a 3DS game will use a GBA soundfont.

In both FRLG and HGSS, you can only catch old pokemon up until you beat the Champion, then you unlock new areas and new ways to catch newer pokemon. You can also trade with, respectively, other gen3 or other gen4 games.
This will undoubtedly be the same. Although, in Gen4, there was My Pokemon Ranch which never was compatible with HGSS, Gamefreak seems to care a lot more about Pokemon Bank so I'm sure they will support OR/AS
why do pokebabies love re-buying games they've already played
the only reason you should be excited for this is if you're a literal child who missed the games the first time around, there's no excuse otherwise
There's also a chance, going by the video text, that this isn't a straight remake like FRLG/HGSS were but rather some sort of sequel or other vaguely-related new game.
Possibly like Black2/White2 in this way. Or it might not even be Hoenn, but I doubt that.

how do the titles say anything but that they're related in some way to ruby and sapphire
to be fair, gamefreak has always been extremely liberal with what they call "new"
"An epic new adventure is coming! Explore a dramatic new world!"
They probably still are regular remakes, but we don't really know anything about them yet.

it's not any different than re-buying any other game you enjoy that gets a significant overhaul later on
and this IS significant. many of the mechanics have since changed.

Depends what you mean by "significant overhauls". Outside of Pokemon, nearly all game remakes have very little changed in terms of actual game mechanics and only small features added.
plenty of other franchises get more remakes than pokemon, though, as this is only the third time.
for Nintendo alone:
Zelda has Link's Awakening DX, LttP GBA, OoT Master Quest, OoT 3D, Wind Waker HD, Four Swords DSi
Mario has All-Stars (3 games), Super Mario Advance (4 games), SMB Deluxe, and SM64DS
Donkey Kong probably has even more, but I don't know them all
at least those games dont remake two versions of the same game into two "new" versions of the same game

i used to hate the two version thing but it's really just a social piece of the game, something that's really started to come out in the past two generations or so. it was tedious to have to trade with someone in gen 1 to get them all but if anything bartering with people has become part of the game these days that's pretty standard and easy to do.

Emerald has:
both Kyogre and Groudon obtainable
two evil teams conflicting with each other
a few features from FRLG like wireless connectivity
battle frontier
good protagonist outfit changes
better double battles
move tutors
some major breeding changes
and on a worse note:
Champion Steven and Gym Leader Wallace replaced with Champion Wallace and Gym Leader Juan
inability to trade with other regions (Kanto/Orre/Box) until after earning National Dex
I wasn't especially into Emerald. It was released really late in gen3 and by the time it released I had already finished collecting all 383 obtainable pokemon (no Mew, Celebi, or Deoxys). I didn't like most of its battle frontier facilities and never bothered reaching any of the Brains.

yo diamond/pearl was the tits with the changes it brought
i mean it was slow as hell and it wasn't really fun until post game but it really had the best post game
My preference of pokemon regions is:
Unova > Kalos ~= Hoenn > Kanto > Johto > Sinnoh
Though people often complain about Hoenn's overabundance of water routes, it excels in a lot of other ways. I like a lot of its newly introduced pokemon. It had a great variety of areas, ranging from an abandoned ship, underwater, a treehouse town, a desert, and an ashy volcano. Double battles were a great addition. Contests are neat. Secret bases are neat. There's quite a bit more to do in general than in previous regions. It's pretty well balanced and varied in terms of the types of wild pokemon you can find (even early in the game, you have more than just normals and bugs) and trainers you face.

What great changes did diamond/pearl bring?
The only big thing I'd say they have is the new way physical/special split works. And Wi-Fi, I guess.
Sinnoh itself is slow and dull. Mud and snow is bad. Both contests and secret bases were made worse than in gen3. Some special new features like pokeball stickers and poketch were worthless and poorly-executed. There's too much cave. It has awful type balance.
At least it has the post-game island, but even that doesn't have nearly as much to do pre-Platinum.

I like to consider features like that, especially being hardware-dependent, as distinct from how good a region itself is.
Stuff like that would, in particular, not matter when comparing the regions for potential future remakes which are undoubtedly going to have all of those features regardless.
sinnoh more like shittoh
cant wait to catch a tropius again
god sinnoh's mud and snow shit was the absolute fucking worst
that gen was just one annoyance after another. i'm glad for the battle mechanics it added but that's about it
i'm glad everyone agrees with me on what shit gen iv was

wait but i thought we were talking about stuff that each generation brought to the table, not stuff that was particular to the region. or at least you took your argument about regions and applied it to my argument about generations which are two different things because sinnoh sucked but gen iv was fucking great
as you said the physical/special split of moves changed so much and breathed a lot of life into some pokemon who would be totally useless otherwise. the online features were pretty awesome because getting them all in gen iii was LOL pointless to even try unless you bought like 3 different games IN ONE GEN
gen iv started giving you more legendaries to look for which some say is dumb but was actually really cool because that's half the shit you do in post game, like i can still remember going to find heatran and it was like a completely new section of the game. i'm into the idea of areas unlocking only after the elite four and that's something that x/y sorely missed (oh cool i can fly to one new city whoopee)
also pokeradar and chaining shinies was cool, i sunk quite a few hours into that with some real results, it was the first game where you could do things that change the shiny rate
gen iv mon > gen iii mon imo if not only because i can't even think of a gen iii mon i would bother using

The minimum is four games, not three: Emerald, Leafgreen, Colosseum, and XD.
Still, all four of these games offer a unique experience and I'd say playing them all is worthwhile.
Leafgreen is required in particular because Slowpoke is exclusive to it. All the other R/S and FR/LG version exclusives are available in the Gamecube games.
It's six if you want to count replaying (or eReader) for Latios, Latias, Kabuto, and Omanyte.
I actually did this, but I personally used six games to get them all: Ruby, Sapphire, Firered, Leafgreen, Colosseum, and XD. I finished the gen3 Pokedex before Emerald released.
Collecting all the Pokémon now, without using online, probably requires a lot more than just four games.
right but that's what i'm saying
instead of spending apparently close to $200 to get them on your own, they turned it into a much more social thing and now you only have to get one game and some friends who are willing to spend more money than you are
which is what they wanted pokemon to be all along really
i'm pretty sure the whole idea of two versions in the first place was to promote trading with your friends + sell/promote nintendo link cables

Sounded cool in link but then it's just secret bases. Always kind of wanted to create a gym that would have a story line NPCs would interact with. Maybe force you to go through the game with just one type of pokemon. Eh. Guess I'll just have to do that on my own
So there's more info in the last couple days
New megas:
Mega Altaria (Fairy/Dragon, Pixilate)
Mega Salamence (Dragon/Flying, Aerilate)
Mega Lopunny (Normal/Fighting, Scrappy)
this is in addition to the previously-confirmed ORAS megas: Sceptile, Swampert, Sableye, Metagross, Diancie
New mechanics:
Mega Evolution translates into contests as a special appeal
The previously-confirmed Cosplay Pikachu is a special one-of-a-kind Pikachu whose forms are for each contest category
The protagonists have special costumes for Pokemon Contests
Horde Battles can now happen with trainers; for example, 5 Team Magma Grunts can team up against you. And you still only send out 1 pokemon when that happens.
Characters:
Contest Idol Lisia is the person who teaches you about Pokemon Contests
Events:
A shiny Beldum (holding a mega stone) will be distributed starting the day the games release, similar to Torchic a year ago
Overall:
It's looking like they're making contests worse in gameplay and balance than before. I think they're trying to redesign the contests system to make it a lot more like Japan's idol trends; a few things remind me a lot of Aikatsu in particular, which I guess makes sense because it's popular with Japanese children.
I still don't like the mega evolution mechanic much.

why is megasalamence an airplane
Mega Sharpedo, Camerupt, Gallade confirmed: http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml
Mega Rayquaza was just revealed today
And a couple other megas haven't yet been posted in this thread:
Slowbro
Audino
So far we have 14 new megas in ORAS.
Megas aside, I don't think we've gotten any actual gameplay news for ORAS recently. We still don't know whether trainer customization is back. The games are still set to release November 21, which is the Friday before Thanksgiving and is 7 weeks from now.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/661226-pokemon-black-version-2/62528845
i share this same issue with the op please remedy this in ω ruby and α sapphire, pokémon compnay
More megas again: Latios, Latias, Beedrill, Pidgeot
The latios/latias megas look exactly like the models that were found in the data of X/Y
There's a new sky world mechanic. You can use Latios or Latias with an Eon Flute item to fly around a special sky overworld in which there are floating islands where you can catch a ton of foreign pokemon from not-hoenn including even legendaries like Reshiram, Zekrom, Dialga, and Palkia. Supposedly, between X+Y+OR+AS, every pokemon will be available in Gen6 except event-exclusive legendaries.
I hope the sky world isn't filled with Sky Trainers myface;
The Eon Ticket returns again as an event item, which grants you the ability to catch the other counterpart of Latias or Latios that wasn't roaming Hoenn in your version
now even pokemon will have a better sky world than skyward sword
All the touchscreen features from X/Y return as part of the new PokeNav: Amie, Super Training, and PSS
The Pokenav also has some new "DexNav" feature which apparently shows you a lot of info that pokedexes usually don't
The Japanese demo reveals two more Mega Evolutions for Glalie and Steelix.
Interviews confirm that outfit customization does not exist in ORAS and that X/Y will not receive a patch for compatibility with new forms
so basically x/y became useless

very disappointing
kinda bummed about the lack of outfits, but i didn't really expect an update to x/y seeing as they've never done anything like that before to my knowledge
Not directly related to ORAS: GameStop's Diancie event just started yesterday. To get it, go to a GameStop, ask the sales clerk for the card, and hope they haven't run out yet by the time you get there. No purchases or pre-orders necessary.
The event supposedly ends on November 16 but most GameStop locations will probably run out before then; the stores near me ran out of cards for the recent Pinsir/Heracross and Shiny Gengar events several days before the events were supposed to end and I expect Diancie is a much higher-demand prize than those two.
It's pretty silly that we're getting events in the form of download codes instead of Wi-Fi or at least local wireless transmission like we used to get before X/Y released. These cards are the only way to distribute Pokémon events that can actually run out madood;
Diancie is a new event-exclusive legendary Pokémon which gains a Mega Evolution when traded to ORAS.
lol the shitty american "bonus" for buying the combo pack with both games. 200 potions. and the pack doesn't even offer any sort of discount over just buying the two games separately.

Not directly related to ORAS: GameStop's Diancie event just started yesterday. To get it, go to a GameStop, ask the sales clerk for the card, and hope they haven't run out yet by the time you get there. No purchases or pre-orders necessary.
The event supposedly ends on November 16 but most GameStop locations will probably run out before then; the stores near me ran out of cards for the recent Pinsir/Heracross and Shiny Gengar events several days before the events were supposed to end and I expect Diancie is a much higher-demand prize than those two.
It's pretty silly that we're getting events in the form of download codes instead of Wi-Fi or at least local wireless transmission like we used to get before X/Y released. These cards are the only way to distribute Pokémon events that can actually run out madood;
Diancie is a new event-exclusive legendary Pokémon which gains a Mega Evolution when traded to ORAS.
it seems like such a dumb way to do these events too... did gamestop complain about people just going into the store to download these events without talking the the clerk so they couldn't be sold stuff?
Preorder bonuses for North America have finally been revealed
Announced just today, at Walmart, buyers of either version can choose to get either a Groudon or Kyogre figure. They're the same figures that Europe was confirmed to get a couple months ago:

At GameStop, each preorder gets a double-sided poster showing Mega Diancie and Primal Groudon+Kyogre

I'm canceling my GameStop preorder and switching to Walmart because I'd rather get these figures n_u
Both are meh gifts imo
Alternatively, if you pre-order a bundle of both games at Amazon or Best Buy, you can get 200 potions sillydood;
it's the most pointless bonus I've ever heard of

just imagine getting cases as a bonus for pre-ordering your all digital games
you mean like when ducktales remasteres first came out as digital only, but you could buy a physical case with a pin and download code inside?

Some kickstarters offer physical goodies only for backers who pay one of the higher tiers, which can include physical manuals. Mighty No 9 is one example of that.
