OR/AS Speculation Thread

[Ya-Yah]

But surely if Rayquaza has to calm them down, he would need to be Primal too. Are Primal Kyogre and Groudon really gonna listen to some average Rayquaza? Na

Surely they should intertwine the events in Ruby and Sapphire with that of Emerald....

That makes sense since some elements of Crystal were incorporated into HeartGold and SoulSilver.

^I was pretty much thinking the same thing. I believe that the Safari Zone will have its expansion, Liza and Tate would have at least two more Pokemon on their team, the Space Center is hijacked by each version's team, and the Battle Frontier will make another appearance.

[Raphetty]

Another reason is that OR/AS will need to fill the role of the "third game", such as including move tutors and a Battle Frontier or similar.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but I've just had a thought. At the end of Emerald, once you filled the Hoenn Pokedex, you were offered a choice of one of the three Johto starters. At the time, this was because they were only possible to obtain via breeding Colosseum's Johto Pokemon, and not everyone had access to the game and GCN <-> GBA Link Cable.

However, there's another reason for them to bring this back in OR/AS... they could give them with their Hidden Ability! Only Johto and Unova starters currently lack their HA's, of the starter Pokemon, and this would be an easy way to give them their HA.

Unlikely, sure, but it would be pretty neat if they did.

^You maybe right! And we may also get the Sinnoh starters as well if the games follow the pattern HGSS did. I've noticed this is how the remakes have been doing this as a trend. FRLG gave you only the Kanto starters but back then there were only three gens and Emerald helped players get the remaining Pokemon not found in either RSE or FRLG. HGSS gave you the Johto starters of course but also the Kanto and Hoenn ones as well. So it'd make sense that ORAS would give you the Hoenn, Johto, Sinnoh, and Unova ones as well. The Sinnoh starters are hard to come by without transferring or breeding for one and not everyone got to do the promo to get the HA Sinnoh starters. I know I didn't because when the promo was announced, I had already purchased both BW games and didn't want to buy another copy just to get a Sinnoh starter.

I was thinking, you know in the recent Pokémon games where the antagonists controlled a legendary Pokémon? Perhaps Team Magma and Team Aqua will summon and control Groudon and Kyogre respectively, then you have to find and wake up Rayquaza to put an end to them (gotta have to be Primal Rayquaza).

Which elements of Crystal were used in HG/SS?

Also guys, the Japanese call OR/AS as ΩR/αS. Why not we start using this instead- oh wait, we don't have such letters on the keyboard.

[Richard and Blaziken]

The entirety of the Suicune plot was ripped from Crystal, as was Eusine's presence (wasn't even a character to be found in G/S), mostly. I'm sure some Gym Leader rosters were changed in Crystal that were probably carried over to HGSS as well.

Hey, Eusine called.

Aside from that, the implementation of both Kanto and Johto stands out as another element from Crystal.

[Richard and Blaziken]

Gold and Silver had Kanto as well, so it's not so much an element of Crystal as it is just a thing all Johto games have had.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Crystal also had the first version of the Battle Tower and the Platinum Battle Frontier was put in the exact same spot the Battle Tower was in Crystal. Other implements from Crystal found in HGSS are Buena's Password (surprised no one mentioned it yet) and Suicune not being randomly found in the wild and fleeing like in GS.

I was actually thinking of the extra bits they put in the Ruins of Alph.

One of my sources tells me "Rayquaza is also said to hold a secret to Mega Evolution.". Sounds like something story related though.

[Spriter]

your source is probably everyone else's source

I think there'll be two mega evolutionss for Rayquaza I suppose, one with 180-200 attack and the other with the same for SAtk and then different stat boosts corresponding to Kyogre / Groudon.

[oh yay post #3000!]

Mega Rayquaza looks deadly :0!
