Pokemon Alpha ruby & Omega saphire announced

[Gravoth_iii]

I always found the 3rd gen to be the best, dunno if anyone here agrees with this but im pretty hyped for this. Might have to get a 3ds for this >_>

[Banok]

is that because you played 3rd gen first? 3rd gen was last pokemon I played as a "kid", but even then the childhood magic of it was wearing off. I only played it because phoenix had it, he must have been like 8 lol

anyway at least this remake will envolve quite alot of work, 3d modelling and animations hundreds of pokemon. whereas previous remakes were basically just slightly changing 2d sprites;

I'm still fucking upset about how they removed ability to start a new game at all without deleting existing save (in pkmnXY). its such a joke ontop of 1 save slot & multiple versions of the same game. nintendo way worse than EA.

PS: pls convince phoenix in TS to buy this game so I can play it once hes finished with it

I started with Blue/Red and stopped with Gold/Silver on GameBoy Colour. But I played 3rd gen on pc and smartphone as well (even now and then I still do).
First 3 gens are fine for me but anything after that just looks awful.

I would actually like to buy those but first I would need a new gameboy... ^^
Smartphone is sadly not strong enough to run those. Cant even play white/black on S4.

there isnt a 3ds emulator yet anyway, I spent alot of time looking for one for XY but its all smoke and mirrors.

you need to get yourself a younger brother or cousins, I got my DS for free once they got the slim version etc.

Na i played since gen1, but 3rd was the best. Had a lot of mystery and stuff like that, oh and the music was amazing.

great news, I hope you get bored of it quicker than XY because doubtless nintenmy old friends will pull the same savegame scam.

now get back to revision!

[Gravoth_iii]

It has been released!

Will buy it next week, if anyone else is interested we could do so fancy pokemon battles later on, i think i will try to create a semi viable team now and rek scrubs.

[Gravoth_iii]

Get this fucking game, its damn well made. The pokemon games are actually improving quite nicely graphically, gameplay is also great, lots of fancy new stuff.

[Vexus]

Best pokemon games are Crystal and Heartgold/Soulsilver.

Only pokemon game with multiple regions all with their gym leaders and endgame boss Red.

[Gravoth_iii]

I always liked 3rd gen the most. Best music, much random shit to do, getting to the regi-trio was a cool mystery involving having to use the manual to translate some weird stuff and doing some cryptic shit. 2nd gen had the best pokemon but 3rd adds pretty nice ones aswell.

[Gravoth_iii]

3rd Gen is also the last one i played that felt like a classic, the only downside for me was that compared to Gold/Silver the game was very short and small, i'll never forget the first time i 'completed' silver and discovering that i could go to an entire different map that was packed full of nostalgia, what a game!

The Alpha Ruby and Omega Sapphire remakes are taking it 3D, maybe it's the nostalgia goggles talking but i prefer top-down. It means when you enter a town or city you can see where you are and where you're going, seeing everything from a side-on angle makes cities weird to navigate, not sure if i like it. Also, the new way that exp-share works makes the games too easymode IMO, even though i always struggled to keep a team of 6 at good level without grinding before, exp-share really removed a dimension, i know you can opt to not use it but since it's there they just put easymode temptation in everyone's path.

*edit*
That's still one of my fave pokemon memories, without searching online just randomly finding that cave with braille in, translating it and completing the challenges (including getting a pokemon i'd never heard of before), then finding the random locations to get those awesome pokemon. Easily the best executed 'legendary' pokemon in a pokemon game to date.

Its still top down for the most part, at some locations it angles towards a building to show the entire thing etc but other than that its just like any other game from what ive noticed.

Im still amazed at how every pokemon seems to have a couple of unique animations shown in fights, considering there are around 700 pokemon this is pretty crazy.

I might nab it Gravoth, which version did you get?

Omega ruby, not really sure why since the pokemon that are unique to saphire are the ones i prefer (mega Sableye looks pretty sick). I guess its because i originally had the ruby game so have to see the changes to Groudon's caves n stuff.

[Mr_Oujamaflip]

I have no idea which, I'm probably gonna grab it after Christmas though and then I'll "rek" you.

With a level 100 Abra.
