So, this is a thing, apparently.

I'm quite excited myself, being a fan of the Hoenn region. The brighter colours and interesting town design really stood out compared to other games. Also, this of course gives those of us without DSs the possibility to transfer Hoenn pokemon over to our other games, which is always nice.

My real question at this point is if they're going to adapt these to be more like X and Y (ergo, diagonal/freeform movement, the more 3d environments, etc.) If they did so, I could see these topping the originals by quite a margin.

In any case, share your thoughts on their decision to (finally) offer us a remake!

Awesome, however, my mom won't let me get video games, I am trying to convince her to let me get a 2DS to play Pokemon X and Y, and now these. But I just use TI Boy CSE, anyway.

Seriously ? O.O
Because Topaz is more for people who already played Pokemon, otherwise you don't know what you are supposed to do :P

Anyway, nice to see remakes. Not that I like that generation particularly, but I'd rather play it on a fresh new platform with a fresh new engine than on old hardware with tilemapping :P

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

I'm so hyped for this, because Sapphire was the first Pokemon I ever owned, and so I really love Hoenn.

Here's to hoping we get a Mega-Sceptile!


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

My first Pokémon game was Fire Red on the GBA. It does have bright colors like all third gen Pokémon games, and it's pretty epic. :D The only other one I have completed was Emerald, and it was great too. I stopped after beating Elite 4 though. I hope these remakes will have story expansions like the Sevii Islands part in Fire Red/Leaf Green.

T'would also be awesome. I just have a special place in my heart for Treecko because he was my first ever Pokemon.

LOL I don't know Pokémon names in English. D: That's basically the only game I'm reluctant to play in English just because of that.

Interesting. Sadly I never got much into Pokemon myself, though. I got Pokémon Heartgold French (european) version with the Pokéwalker, but only because it was $20 despite being an Ebay collectible (although not as much as the English or Japanese versions, which are like $100 complete now). My main issue is having to manage that many Pokemons. I would rather play Topaz which only has 40+ Pokémons.

I actually predicted this back when X and Y first came out. Yeah, I'm excited.

Lol yeah, they used to have that catch phrase "Gotta catch'em all" when it was about 151 Pokemons, but they don't use it anymore because it would lack credibility I guess :P
It's also annoying when you encounter a Pokemon and you don't know its type. It didn't happen when you knew all Pokemons (when they were not so many) but now, every Pokemon I encounter is unknown to me. Can't tell how to catch it (without killing it or without dying first) nor if it's worth getting in the party or just get in the box. That's another reason why I like remakes, there are less Pokemons than in newer releases.
