Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

Since I'm probably not going to get a chance to fangirl talk about this during the meeting any time soon... I shall express my feels here

HOENN CONFIRMED GUYS
HOENN CONFIRMED

So in case you live under a rock (I'm kidding, don't hurt me), Nintendo recently announced that they're remaking Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire for the 3DS. The games are set to release in November of this year.

Here's a sneak-peek:



So the reason why I'm particularly excited about this is because Hoenn is the only generation of Pokemon that I never got to play (again, please don't hurt me). Not sure why, because I did own a GameBoy Advance (SP) back then. xP

I think I just lost touch with the Pokemon games after Red/Blue, and didn't get back in until Diamond/Pearl. I did play Soul Silver though, so I'm looking forward to the new remakes so I can finally play Hoenn. xDDD

Will probably get Alpha Sapphire.

Also, any speculations on how they're going to do this? Judging by the game footage so far, are they dropping the sprites and sticking with the graphics from X/Y?

TALK TO ME GUYS D:
WHAT VERSION DO YOU WANT
TELL ME HOW AMAZING HOENN IS
WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH THIS REMAKE

Hoenn confirmed = the Pokemon fandom bursting into flames.

They'll probably have X/Y graphics or even updated graphics. The Hoenn Region includes many fantastic features, and if you have a smartphone I would recommend getting R/S/E on an emulator like VBA8 (it's easy and free). Sapphire was my first Pokemon game, so I'm super psyched for it! Hoenn has a bunch of cool things like:

• Two different kinds of bikes
  
• Pokemon Contests (different from Sinnoh)
  
• Pokebloks (similar concept to Poffins)
  
• Secret Bases
  
• Extensive Diving
  
• Really cool towns/cities (a treehouse city, a town literally on top of the water, and a town in the middle of a volcano)
  
• Great pokemon in general ye
  
• An amazing soundtrack that's 90% trumpet
  
• The only gym where there's TWO gym leaders in one gym
  
• Berry patches
  
• The Trick House
  
• other locations like the Mirage Tower and hot springs in a town
  
• i can't think of much else but yeah this is a big deal
  

Simply put:

OMG THAT PICTURE YES SO PERFECT

I've never actually played a Hoenn game that's mine so I WOULD BE SUPER EXCITED if I had a 3DS but nooo I don't because someone stole it along with my other 3DS games so I'm really bummed out about that.

AND IT'S COMING OUT THIS NOVEMBER THAT IS SO SOON WHAT
