Platinum and BW2 count as main line games, as did Yellow, Crystal and Emerald. The remakes don't.
But yeah, otherwise you're right, there are a lot of ways they could do it, I just don't know if they will. We'll have to see.

Also, really excited at the potential for streetpass secret bases. It makes too much sense not to do IMO.

It looks like the games will have red/blue packaging.
At first I was gonna say 'are you being sarcastic?' then I realized you meant the outer part.

Judging by the box arts, some type ofnew form or mega is going to be included for the version legends at least. Since those are quite clearly and dramatically different from the typical designs of Groudon and Kyogre. Also really awesome
Everyone's going 'dude the legendaries look a little… off'.
It's their 'runes' lighting up, that's why.
if you look at them normally they have like. indented lines and shit all over them.
On the cover they're lit up, which MAY be a mega or a new ability of sorts, like with Xerneas having an Active form.
Swampert/Sceptile are likely getting megas to keep up with Blaziken so looks like the Gen II starters are getting skipped over lol
Just look and compare.

The runes look way different to the normal lines. And we've seen those lines light up in certain materials. It didn't look like that.
Yeah, their markings are lit up. Their forms are still exactly the same otherwise.
I just looked and it seems there are a few changes to the lit up lines and whatnot, so they could be potential active forms/megas
The thing Is HOW they're lit up. Normally they light up but still just follow the lines an are just red/blue for kyogre and groudon respectively. This is way more dramatic than the normal lines lighting up. Especially since stuff like Kyogres forehead didn't even have lines
The nostalgia playing this is going to be so high, considering Ruby took my entire life between the ages of 5 and 10.
Cool thing I saw pointed out- Groudon in the cover art has omega on his arm, and Kyogre has Alpha on its fin
Ruby/Sapphire were my least favorite games in the series, so I'm hoping that things go well.
If they can mix in all the cool changes that X/Y brought us, it should help a lot for me. But I have yet to find anything to top Gold/Silver.
WELP MY FAVOURITE POKEMON GAMES GET A REMAKE
To say the least - I'm happy as ten fucks and if some weird creature, after seeing Super Smash Bros and MArio Kart 8, STILL didn't think Nintendo owns this whole generation race then this thing will surely show'em who's boss!
"goees to the video game section, sees the thread"
Really? im only on the 3rd badge in X! got alot to do before Sapphire then LOL..does this mean since emerald is not in the lineup, rayquaza may not be in the games?
Rayquaza already appeared in R/S, so it's 100% sure it'll appear again.
Someone hold me!
R/S needed the remake.
Steven was the first champion to actually kick my ass.
Oh man i hope we get new info soon because arguing about some lit up lines on two of the most broken legendaries will make me a sad panda.
Now give the Hoenn trio their own unique moves just like the rest of the legendaries.
Today is a good day. Sapphire Alpha come at me now! I've been planning a team for years in case this happened!
@Devil:

Screw a Sky Pillar, I want a Sky Obelisk
I'm excited because Defog is an HM in Ruby Sapphire right? I want to test a lot of deffogers in my teams.
Wait: that's the next gen. FUCK YOU HOENN.
Hoenn Confirmed!! Gen III is my favorite and I'm very excited. Hoping for some new Mega Evolutions.
Region I liked less but I like all the games anyway.
Hyped for this, hopefully they made some good improvents to Hoenn landscapes.
Mainly looking forward to secret bases and new mega pokemon and hopefully they do a BW 2 and continue the story instead of a pure remake.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if Contest would be coming back agian >>
And if they'd actually make it interesting this time around >______________>
Gen 3 was definitely my favorite, and my first gen playing the games. I played the shit out of ruby and did everything in sapphire, and I really liked the innovative diving puzzles and stuff. Always missed it in the other gens. Yeah I really liked the surfing bits too, as long as I had tons and tons of max repels.
looking forward to acro bike shenanigans
Now that I think about it, I wonder if Contest would be coming back agian >>

If you didn't like Pokemon Contests and aren't hyped for the new game/possible Contests online then maybe you should avoid this thread. I mean, since you never liked Gen3 and we're getting the same thing with some quality fixes and more trumpets, maybe it just isn't for you?
PS: I swear to god, if I fucking see a sudden Mega Slaking in this game I'm going to kill a puppy.
Jeez Hiroy, how can you be so negative towards Gen 3.

I'm just slightly optimistic Gamefreak has learned from a game they made over 10 years ago, and curious to see what is being remade outside the visuals. Not sure what it means to you or anyone that's actually a fan of this generation, but there's alot of features that could be improved or worked on better and I want to see if they can pull that off. This is remake, not a re-release.
Also. Just hate contests because there wasn't that much to them outside shoving a bunch of blocks down a Pokemon's throat and one-siding every single contest type. It just seemed like a bare bones feature that wasn't very fun for me to play. And for that, I see it being revived or improved with a an actual scene in the modern day online community.
Ruby and Sapphire are actually my least favourite Pokemon games. Which doesn't mean i did not like them, i played the hell out of them.
And of course i'll buy the remake. At this point all they need to say is"New Pokemon Game!" to convince me.
@Cyan:
I want a secret battle with Miror B.
Not just one! A place where you can battle him once a day and his battle music change between his 2 themes every day! Mirror B. need to come back! :happy:
I agree with Hiroy.
I did Contests like once or twice and then after was pretty much "Nope".
So I'm the only one who spent about fifty hours on contests then? Darn…
Mhm, I'm not a massive fan of Gen III either, but I thought the remakes of silver & gold were amazing. Certainly going to follow the thread to hear what people think.
yOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
!
Jeez Hiroy, how can you be so negative towards Gen 3.
It was unusual, because when I played it and finished it when I was younger… I thought Pokemon got old, or maybe even I got too old to be interested in Pokemon. Gonna recall my memories of this game here.
[hide]
-The world didn't seem to interest me.
-The global warming plot-line just seemed to sell on the whole idea that global warming was actually a hot topic in media at the time. So it felt really shallow.
-The rival didn't seem to motivate the journey. I remember his name VERY WELL!. Wally. Memorable because he was the most hilariously dull character I encountered in the world in gaming. It's sad any NPC trainer would have been a better fit.
-There was this one mountain full of Spinda, and I recall catching a bunch of them to see if there was any sort of point in collecting the different random patterns. Now I just have an intense hatred of Spinda. As a joke tho. Nothing serious.
-I think in that same mountain I grinded for ash/glass or someshit,. I was promised a flute that acted like like a Repel… Imagine my reaction when I learned I was still getting random encounters. It just felt like I wasted my time.
-The secret base thing didn't really do it for me like customizing a room in GS. It helped that I used Mystery Gift alot and had alot of cool stuff to play with back then, but the bases felt somewhat limited to me.
-Lots of water
-By the end of the game, I had the option to get monsters I actually wanted but there wasn't much left to do in the game with them :T

BW changed my thoughts of the games. It was fresh, had a lovely art direction, gym leaders that felt like an integral part of the world they lived in, and the finale of the game was very satisfying to play through despite all the jokes I can throw at N as a character. So in the end I realized I didn't lose interest in Pokemon games because I grew old, or because the games got old. It's just easier for me to say that Ruby wasn't really a good game. My opinion tho. If you got good memories with the game, I ain't stoppin ya from having them.
I'm getting giddy imagining what the Mt. Pyre, Route 113, Sootopolis, Archie/Maxie Battle, and Elite Four Battle music tracks are going to sound like with the 3DS's sound quality.
It's a good opportunity to Finally play these games.
Missed the GBA era of Pokémon ..
Be wouldn't be arguing like this if Hoenn didn't suck so much.
yOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That isn't real you know
^ I was about to say that, haha! Too much use of stock in that promo.
Be wouldn't be arguing like this if Hoenn didn't suck so much.
That's why never have arguments about quality products like: One Piece, Kingdom, or JoJo's Bizarre adventure.
Oh wait we totally do that all the time.
Assuming that there is a Mega Swampert, I hope it gets Sap Sipper as an ability >:)
Oh hey, this is the Era I missed since I thought I'd "grown up". :ninja: Now maybe I can see what all the excitement is about.
TEARIN' MAH FEELS APART.
Whyyyyyyy WOULD YOU TEEEEAR MAH FEELS APAAAAART?
I… guess I'll use Sceptile again? Don't really care for any of the starters of the gen, and there's other grass types I like better... but I did like Sceptile.
Maybe I'll just do a psudo-nuzlocke first time through. (But getting a mightyena for sure.) I have a complete dex on XY now, so I don't have to worry about that again.
yOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If only it were real.
Legendary fusion and extra megas confirmed.
Would be nice.
But too soon since they only announced it this morning… magazine leaks with ads won't be for a while.
