Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire |OT| Hoenn Finally Confirmed
- Thread starter ColtraineGF
- Start date
I for one gladly await our new fantastic remixes of routes 216-17.
The battle track for Zinnia has come out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmMuVo20Hb8&index=16&list=UUi2pBOS3inPU4Aoi3t_NDpQ
Sounds so much like a Shimomura piece. Might actually be.

Don't even pretend that Platinum with faster battles wouldn't be godly.
Oh God, the music is SO much better than X/Y.

Platinum is the best Pokémon game. It still sells at a higher price than XY or BW. Is Godtier.

Assuming all the reggies secret stuff is still there?
Remembering finding out about that years after playing (had no internet back then) damn I miss hidden stuff like that in games.

I actually prefer HeartGold over it, Platinum coming in a close second.

If they take the design of Platinum but base the story content on DP, like they did with Emerald and RS for ORAS, the games will be amazing. Super interested to see what they'll do about Giratina.
Still really hoping the rumor about Zangoose having a mega form is true... Anymore news on this?
The only new Megas are the ones officially revealed by Pokemon, sorry.
X/Y's soundtrack was definitely the worst pokemon soundtrack. which is crazy coming off of B/W which has one of the best. But yeah OR/AS soundtrack is amazing.
Really? I thought someone said in an interview there are other new ones that you'll need to explore the game to find. Wasn't that the case with X and Y? People were still discovering new mega forms a couple days after release if I recall correctly...

Wow, well, let me shed some light on why I didn't like what he said: the secret is, I never played Platinum, so my only experience is with Diamond and Pearl, and let's just say that it wasn't pleasant. But I'll take all your words on it, and hopefully the remakes will end up nice.

I've been playing for the last few hours, the dex navi feature is really awesome, I got a Poochyena that knows Fire Fang with no breeding needed!
XY's overworld themes were nice, but boy were the battle themes underwhelming. Vs. Xerneas/Yveltal was the only one I felt was up to the series snuff.

DP is pretty mediocre, Platinum is godly.

I like Platinum better than HGSS in fact.
One of the main reasons is the VS. Seeker, which made training so, so smooth. There were these great Trainers right near Pastoria that were perfect with high level XP Pokemon, but easy weaknesses.
HGSS had no Vs. Seeker, and with really limited Trainers, EXP. was hard to find. I never beat Clair, because there's like no good place to train except using the really weak wild Pokemon. HGSS removed a great feature, but hey, we got little sprites walking behind you so 10/10 best game ever.

2017 it is then NEW 3DS EXCLUSIVE
Exp was hard to find because the game was poorly balanced due to being the most open in the franchise. You can go in several different orders. Because of this, everyones levels are fairly low, so you don't gain much exp and it kinda drags on. Its a big problem I have with the games and why HGSS/GSC are on the lower end of the series for me.

This, is like a Pinsir to Mega Pinsir. Pinsir is alright compared to Heracross and Scizor but Mega Pinsir steps it up in a big way, surpassing them.

I'm sorry, 4th gen is trash, Platinum included. Maybe it wouldn't be trash if it wasn't slow as fuck.

We've had remakes almost every gen since they started in Gen III. Gen V didn't have any remakes, but judging by some things found in the ROMs it seems like they planned to do RS remakes in that gen but had to move on to the 3DS, so as long as Gen VII isn't on 3DS I think it's pretty likely that we'll get remakes that Gen. Gen IV is also important to a lot of people, for me personally it was the Gen that got me back into Pokemon and the idea of it being redone on the next Nintendo handheld makes me super excited.
They made a new story for Rayquaza in ORAS, so they'll probably do the same for Giratina and hopefully it includes the Distortion World. Then we can get Mega Giratina where it just turns into a horrid abomination, in a good way.
It better be in because that was one of the best parts.
Oh god what did they do to VS Magma/Aqua Grunt theme.
It's not even hitting the right notes!
Even the anime version got this track right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a40HZerGMQ&t=20s

Distortion World wasn't in Diamond/Pearl, you'll have to wait for the platinum remake in another 10 years.

Episode Delta wasn't in Ruby and Sapphire either.
If anything you should make jokes about something comparable... like the Battle Frontier.

Someone with a Meelo Avatar is no qualified to talk about taste.
Just wanted to say Platinum, Emerald, and HGSS are the best (in that order).
Unlike Kalos, Sinnoh had actual exploration and wasn't linear. In fact, Masuda changed Unova and Kalos by making them linear since kids couldn't finish Sinnoh because of how open it got sometimes.
So yeah, XY, step your game up.

location of other starter megastones confirmed via Serebi
Route 114 there's a Stone Salesman:
Loneliness = Hard Stone 45000
Emotionless = Hard Stone 80000
Ebb = Swampertite 1500
Tears = Hard Stone 150000
Fading Fires = Blazikenite 1500
I started with Treecko so chances are Sceptilite will be there if you didn't

Assuming they use the Ruby/Sapphire story over the Emerald one in ORAS, I don't see why they can't use the D/P story over the Platinum one in those remakes.

Are you forced to buy the stones in order?
So I'll need to pay 278000 to get the other two starter megastones?
