Enhancement to a photo that was linked about this. (The original only had the 2 games and the letters)
I think there'll be Mega Sceptile and Swampert since having only one starter that has a Mega Evolution final stage is kind of unfair (Or they won't release Blazikenite in the games)
The new Groudon and Kyogre look pretty similar to their old counterparts so I think they could be clones (kind of like Mewtwo) created by Team Aqua/Magma as opposed to Mega Evolutions. I hope they buff some 3rd gen mons, too—Shell Smash Shelgon, Close Combat Mega Linoone, Slaking hidden ability (inb4 Slow Start), Jirachi-F (Fairy), maybe a 5th Deoxys forme.
MASSIVE HYPE Mega Salamence better be something as bad ass as Multiscale Dragonite was in BW2 OU. About time it starts fucking up OU on a regular basis again.
That's it, now I fully have a reason to go buy a 3DS even more so than X and Y. Thank you Gamefreak, it took you some few years, but you finally fulfilled the prophecy. Maybe all those hoenn based mega-evos that were rumored to have gone around might actually be a real thing.
I went out and bought a Vita a month ago... just to play fucking Disgaea 3... Already regretting it and I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A 3DS BUT HEY NOVEMBER PLENTY OF TIME TO GATHER MORE MONEY I swear I need to put more time thinking before making such important choices like this ;dsafjklfdsjklfjdsk
I wonder if it's a remake or more of a sequel. The wording "New dramatic world" isn't clear on that. As new would suggest something we haven't seen, which of course isn't true if it's a remake. I am hoping for more of a sequel as I think just doing the same story again is a bit boring. So Hoenn might be a bit different (not to mention Groudon and Kyogre do look different). But either way I'm excited.
Hope they brind back that sweet Elite Four music. Also, i agree with The Dude, the emphasis on "dramatic" could mean that in these games the weather cataclysm reaches a more alarming state than in the original games, where there was only some sunny to heavy rain changes in routes.
According to serebii, Satoru Iwata had said that they are full remakes of the original ruby and sapphire. I feel a 'New dramatic world' is maybe a reference to the fact the region is gonna be remade into graphics similar to X and Y.
Got some fabulous news: The Pokémon Company sent an e-mail to the Daisuki Club membersstating that they're showcasing "never before seen Pokémon". It's notable that it's the same terminology they used for Black & White Kyurem. Source: Serebii
if it is like Black and White Kyurem, and Groudon and Kyogre get new formes, I say it'll be something like Rayquaza + Groudon fusing and Rayquaza + Kyogre fusing, or even maybe it is actually "Omega Groudon", "Alpha Kyogre",
Regirock, Regice, and Registeel join forces to create Huge Power REGIBIGGAS. In all honesty though, if it's anything other than new Groudon/Kyogre, Mega Lati@s, Diancie/Hoopa/Volcanion, or a new Zygarde forme I will be incredibly surprised. Rayquaza fusions would be crazy, but just the right kind of crazy.
I seriously doubt that there are any more Mega Formes besides Mega Lati@s because none have been found in the internal data for XY so far, and it's going to be pretty unlikely they'll be available considering ORAS (Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire) should be able to trade / battle / communicate with XY. Think about this: you wouldn't be able to battle with XY with a Mega Sceptile or a new Jirachi / Deoxys forme because the data doesn't exist in XY. Edit: Even after reading Omega's post that I clearly haven't read, I'm still confident about my stance. UNLESS OF COURSE, they add the Pokemon data within DLC. Which would be fucking sweet. But still, I doubt it. TPCi, they aren't very well at planning ahead of time.
I've never been a big fan of "remakes" but Soul Silver changed that so I have high hopes for Alpha Sapphire / Omega Ruby. Most of us can only imagine what's to come to the Hoenn region so all we can do now is speculate. Kyogre & Groudon getting new Mega formes? Very possible as there has been quite a few Pokémon from Hoenn that have already gotten Mega Evolutions. Spoiler Absol Aggron Banette Blaziken Gardevior Latias Latios Manectric Medicham Mawile Anybody remember the Blue, Red, & Jade Orbs? While these items allowed you to encounter the Legendary Trio in the Embedded Tower in Heart Gold / Soul Silver it could be quite possible that these Orbs will make a comeback as Secret Mega Stones? Lets not forget that Pokémon Z will become a reality sometime in the future so maybe Kyogre & Groudon probably won't be able to Mega Evolve until that game is released... Gamefreak & their hints!
Some new egg moves I'm hoping for (some Pokémon got new egg moves in HG/SS so never say never) Slack Off Snorlax (Slowbro) Nasty Plot Gastly (Spiritomb) Outrage Tyrunt (Dragonite) Boomburst Amaura (Exploud) Moonblast Togepi (Clefable)
YES. Also, got some news for you. The first footage will be in a Japanese TV Show this sunday at 07:30 JST!!
