Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire announced

[Shaymin]

My boyfriend showed me these today and... idk what to think. I mean, the box art looked kinda official but the video showed no gameplay footage and didn't look very Nintendo-y to me.

Maybe it's just me being weird or whatever, I mean Hoenn remakes have got to the point where any announcement is in automatic doubt, but eh.

ALSO, alpha is Arceus' species name, and shiny creation trio from gen V xD (I'm adamant these will do something eventually even though they obvs won't =P)

it's on the official pokemon facebook and youtube so uh i'd say it's pretty real

also on pokemon.com so uh

Wow, Shaymin, you are REALLY into turning down our arguments. XD

The thingy is an announcement, not a trailer, people...

Don't forget we do have corocoro this month pretty soon, which may spill some beans.

Though how the heck corocoro didn't pick up on it last month is interesting...

[Hahex and Oshawott]

I was really excited and I was thinking of writing a super long post about how cool this was but I'm way too tired from jumping up and down and screaming.

[sylar]

i assume they were keepin it on the down low for the sake of hype which is why corocoro didnt cover it

like how beyonce and fall out boy just slammed out a new album out of nowhere with no hype whatsoever and the excitement got it for them

people have been asking for hoenn remakes for years, they wouldnt need hype for announcements when the fans are doing it for them

it's probably because nintendo has been keeping it under the wraps as much as possible. that probably includes any beta footage they have.

i'm just praying they keep in the customisation and bring back secret bases and contests like please

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This week could not get any more perfect. Omg I'm so hyped. Hoenn <3<3<3

What will come with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire?
Fire Red and Leaf Green came with those wireless link things.
Heart Gold and Soul Silver came with the pokewalker.

What next?

Reintroduction of RNG Abuse (I wish it was real)

A hat

Since both things implied playing out of the traditional standards, I assume one will be able to play with their AR cards.

Well, I just checked the US Pokémon website and the UK website. Unless this is some sort of elaborate hoax (which, given the names I thought it was), this looks to be confirmed.

I hope they bring back Secret Bases. Toss in a ton of extra customization options and I shall be a happy ninja. Oh, and maybe the art style of X and Y, trainer customization, etc. You know, keep the things people liked.

....probably should have read the thread before saying I wasn't sure what to think, because given it's not April the first this is probably real xD

Still, anyone else find it interesting that Alpha Omega is pretty much AZ in Greek?

With that in mind, I'm wondering why they called the games Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Shouldn't the Alpha and Omega be the other way round since Ruby and Sapphire are always referred to in that order?

[sylar]

i think its always been set up that way lol...

[Spriter]

Alpha Sapphire then Omega Ruby sounds better to be honest, instead of vice versa.

[Ledyba]

This is the happiest momment I've had as a Pokemon fan since.. well.. ever. 

Please keept secret bases. :<
