Red/Blue remakes on 3DS

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

PWT isn't canon, me thinks.

I'd prefer it if Fairy-type was added to as few mons as possible. None of the Fairy mons interest me.

At least giving Megas Fairy as a secondary type. I do think that Blissey should get it though...it'll allow it to standout from Chansey. Other than Blissey I don't think they should slap on the typing anymore than they've already have (giving it to Audino and Altaria is good enough).

Blissey and that's it. I love my Water/Ice Lapras and Dragon/Flying Dragonite tyvm.

Mega Dragonite could lose the flying type though and look more like it's pre-Evolutions to satisfy those who wish Dragonite was more like Dragonair but bigger and more regal. Or they could give it two Megas...it's the first Pseudo much like how Charizard is the first mascot and Mewtwo is the strongest of the original mons, plus it's popular which is the most important. Actually Multi-scale pure Dragon Dragonite would be quite scary as it'll lose it's 4x weakness and be reduced to three weaknesses. Add bulk to it and the original Dragon will last for awhile.

I don't think so... It's like making Beedrill look a bit like Kakuna IMO. Though Gyarados gets Magikarp-like fins.

 

[Pendraflare]

I'll stick with my Water/Ice Lapras also... Don't want them to do anything too crazy with that that could butcher it for me. But Dragonite, I wouldn't see them making that one type, not after the other pseudos that did kept their original ones. But they could make that one have some good stats alright.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Speaking of Beedrill if we don't see Mega Butterfree in the next Kalos games then I'll like to see it pop up in the remakes. It should become Bug/Psychic and get the ability Multiscale (if it doesn't then they should at least give the ability to fellow regional bugs Dustox and/or Vivillion).

 

[BettyNewbie]

I actually see Lorelei getting Mega Cloyster instead of Mega Lapras.

But, that's not her ace. You might as well give Lance Mega Aerodactyl.

Also speaking of Giovanni...how will they be able to handle the rematch with him since he leaves? I guess if we get access to Johto post game we may find him at the falls and battle him in a single rematch...with him having mons the same level as Red's HGSS team or least his GSC level team. Also since ORAS lacked rematches of any form (meaning the last rematches with Hoenn gym leaders were 11-10 years ago, not as bad as the Gen I Kanto gym leaders who don't have rematches at all (discounting HGSS rematches) but still bad) they may not return, not only that but Gen V and XY also lack proper rematches (Gen IV is the best at rematches with Pt (did DP have rematches too?) and HGSS).

I wouldn't be opposed to Mt. Silver being a postgame area. Maybe, Giovanni went there after disbanding Team Rocket? (Remember that these games wouldn't be part of the same timeline as HGSS, so you don't have to put him in Tohjo Falls again.)

Blissey and that's it. I love my Water/Ice Lapras and Dragon/Flying Dragonite tyvm.

Water/Ice suffers from being a bad typing, and Dragon/Flying suffers from being a boring typing.

I actually love the Fairy type. It's so magical! :P And, what dragon is more magical than Dragonite, based on the Magic Dragon? And, Lance, himself, takes inspiration from fairytale knights; his very name comes from the object knights used to slay dragons with, after all. So, how fitting would it be for his ace, the Pokémon most associated with him, to be part Fairy? (Remember that the Fairy type is just as much about White Knights as it is Tinkerbell.)

And, Lapras is a Loch Ness Monster, you know, a mythological creature. Even Dragon fits it better than Ice, and imagine how much stronger it would be!

Well for one Sindey and Phoebe's aces are Shiftry and Dusknoir respective and those weren't the ones they Mega evolved (Glacia's ace is iffy, while Drake and Steven did get their ace as their Mega) so they might pull that for Lorelei. Also a lot of people thought that Sindey's ace was Absol itself or Cacturne before Corocoro said otherwise, it may be the same case with Lorelei's ace.

Second. That may be true but having him in the falls will be a reference to his place in HGSS like what we saw in ORAS' Delta Episode referencing some stuff from Emerald (such as Wallace's position).

Third...well Lance's Japanese name (aka his 'real' name) is Wataru which can mean Navigator... could also mean experienced.
I must say that name would fit Drake better...too bad they used it in Gen I xD. Either way Lance has little to do with knights in Japan. The most knightly characters we've seen have been pro N Team Plasma and now Wikstrom. Lance is more of a super hero in appearance (his Gen II-V appearances), which tend to be depicted as Flying. Actually now that I think about it a lot of Lance's members have been Flying types (Altaria, Salamence, Gyarados, Dragonite, Charizard, and Aerodactyl) throughout the years (Steven is similar with having a lot of Rock types).

Btw I think Lance will end up using Goodra in his rematch, seeing how he's used every Pseudo (at the time) except for Metagross as of Gen V. Actually his rematch team could end up being Salamence, Garchomp, Tyranitar, Dragonite, Hydreigon, and Goodra...damn...give him perfect IV's ( and Ev's in the right places), and the guy's team will make Cynthia's team look like a piece of cake...

It would be disappointing though, especially since she would be the only one there without a Mega evolved ace.

But, Tohjo Falls aren't as easy to fit into the game as Mt. Silver would be. Having Tohjo Falls would require having Johto, while you could get away with having Mt. Silver without the rest of Johto. Besides, a lot of people would want to know why the PC went there in the first place.

Hell freaking no. :| That team would ruin him, especially cheap, OP garbage like Salamence and Garchomp.

If Lapras is indeed her ace...(might be another Absol-Sindey case...well if so then her real ace would be Cloyster but her Mega would be Lapras xD).

I was under the impression that you wanted to see all of Johto...

Uh...in that case Lance is already ruined as of HGSS considering his rematch team there had Salamence and Garchomp (in addition to Tyranitar and his ace Dragonite, having a team with higher a Higher Base Stat total than Cynthia's). I guess they could make the rematch teams the teams the characters have in GSC/HGSS the first time we battle them (but at higher levels).

I'm trying to work within Cerberus' idea, which has the Orange Islands instead.

This a new timeline which means a new retcon. These games can easily erase the mistakes Gens 4 and 5 made in regards to Lance (both appearance-wise and Pokémon-wise) and set him right again.

You forget that two of the Gen 1 E4 members weren't in GSC/HGSS... Unless you want them to be scrapped from the rematch, which would make you a terrible person. >_>

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I don't want to see the Orange Islands, just an island league of some kind. They could have access to the Sevii islands as a prize for beating all 16 Johanto gyms. Perhaps Lorelei will become a member of her home's league which might explain why she is gone, perhaps having Agatha join her.

Post game we could meet Karen and Will as they aim to be E4 members. Maybe we could have Lorelei contemplate about where she'll like to go after being at the near pinnacle of the Johanto regions' Pokémon league. It would be a moment of further character development for her.

I guess they could remove Salamence and Garchomp and give Lance Goodra and Hydreigon instead. Actually may not Hydreigon as it has a 4x weakness one is bad enough (he does have Gyarados though). If they make Mega Dragonite Dragon/Fairy or Dragon/Water that will eliminate his 4x weak members. So perhaps something like: Mega Dragonite, Goodra, Tyranitar, Haxorus, Sceptile, and Lapras (a gift from Lorelei before she left?)

I don't understand why you don't like 4th gen Lance. He looks older, but definitely not 50! {XD}

It's hard to give Lance a varied team considering there are few unique Dragon-type Pokémon that aren't legendaries. In the PWT he had an all-Dragon team but that wasn't necessary since he's a Champion and not a Dragon-type specialist in that tournament.

IMO Lance MUST have Gyarados and Dragonite. They're his most iconic Pokémon. He doesn't need an all-Dragon team either, so he could still have Charizard and Aerodactyl, and could also add Tyranitar (Lance has never had Tyranitar in the core series). He could also have Kingdra for the sake of being from Johto. There's six right there. Enemies in Pokémon don't need balanced teams, Blue and Cynthia notwithstanding.

Lance wasn't that easy in the Johto games, despite having a lot of Pokémon weak to Ice. Dragonite isn't easy to take down if you don't have advantage against it. I had a Draco Meteor Kingdra in HeartGold, but that's an oddity. {XD}

 

[BettyNewbie]

Yeah, but he's supposed to be this young, hot 20-something, not a middle-aged man. :P Plus, I hate his outfit, and they got his hair and eye color wrong.

And, even worse, only four of those non-Legendary Dragons aren't monotype, Dragon/Flying, or Dragon/Ground (not counting Megas)--Kingdra, Hydreigon, Tyrantrum, and Dragalge. Talk about awful diversity.

I'm 100% okay with giving him "pseudo-Dragons," so long as they know a Dragon move. I've always felt that Ampharos suited him well (and the TCG, apparently, agreed with me), and I think Serperior would be a good fit, too (even if it is a starter, but you never know).

As for actual Dragon types, I like Noivern and Dragalge the best for him. Kingdra is also nice, although it edges a little close to Clair's territory. I don't think any of the later Dragon Pseudos suit him, nor does Haxorus. (Tyrantrum is borderline.)

Maybe not in in HGSS, but in GSC, a Kadabra/Alakazam/Gengar with Ice Punch and Thunderpunch can make short work of him. (The last one also happens to be immune to his then-favorite move.)

I was actually going to suggest Ampharos earlier but I was afraid you guys wouldn't like the idea. I think Sceptile also matches Lance but Serperior fits his elegant style of dress (his HGSS one at least) better. It would be interesting if Lance got Charizard, Ampharos, and Sceptile on his team considering those three can Mega evolve into actual Dragon types. Those mons actually provide decent coverage as Charizard can be used to take down ice types while resisting Fairy types, Sceptile/Serperior can take electric attacks (which would K.O. Gyarados if he is to still have one, and Charizard too) as can Ampharos. It's too bad that Charizard is the only Fire Dragonoid mon that isn't Reshiram...as they would throw a wrench at Fairy and Ice type reliant teams.

Charizard, at least, would be a must for his Round 1 team, as well as either Ampharos or Kingdra (depending on which one's in the Regional Dex). No E4 member should be using dupes or NFEs, aka. Lance's Dragonair twins. The E4 is supposed to be challenging, and dupes/NFEs only make them easier. (One reason why Lorelei was, ironically, the hardest of the four in RBY. She was the only one whose team didn't have dupes/NFEs.)

As for the rematch, either Sceptile or Serperior would be fine, as well as Ampharos, Noivern, and Dragalge. He needs to have more Pokémon that aren't Flying types and cover his weaknesses better. (Which is hard to do with strictly Dragon types, as the type is extremely poor in diversity outside of Legendaries and Megas.)

Now that you mention that, Sindey is also similar to Lorelei in that he had no double mons like the rest of Hoenn E4 did (he wasn't the hardest though, most would probably say it's Phoebe or Drake).

Since remakes likely won't happen until next Gen there is a chance we may see some dragons with more unique dual types. Perhaps we'll see a Dragon/Steel type that isn't a legend. Also a Dragon/Fighting type would be awesome...but that's a bit off topic at this point.

Actually it'll be pretty cool if Lance's rematch team had Charizard, Feraligatr, and Sceptile (especially if the second one also gets a Mega that is part dragon type) as we have yet to see someone with a starter of each type outside of Red.

 

[BettyNewbie]

Now that you mention that, Sindey is also similar to Lorelei in that he had no double mons like the rest of Hoenn E4 did (he wasn't the hardest though, most would probably say it's Phoebe or Drake).

Well, a lot of that was because Hoenn's Dark types were extremely underpowered in RSE; Dark was still a Special type, and they were all Physical attackers. (Something that also benefited Phoebe, despite her otherwise poor team.) The fact that RSE was when Fighting started to get good (*cough*Brick Break*cough*) also didn't help his cause.

Lorelei, on the other hand, completely reaped the benefits of RBY's mechanics (especially in Yellow, which had better movesets). Fighting types were garbage and had low Special bulk, the only STAB Rock attackers were slow Rock/Grounds who also had bad Special bulk, Fire didn't resist Ice (giving Charizard and Moltres a nasty weakness), Steel didn't exist, Blizzard had 90% accuracy, Psychic was broken (Slowbro and Jynx), and Amnesia was broken (Slowbro). Making matters worse was the fact that the game's strongest Electric attacker was, itself, weak to Ice (although it, at least, had good Special bulk). And, no, the Yellow Pikachu wasn't going to beat Lapras without extreme overleveling (which wasn't the easiest thing to do back then).

Meanwhile, both Bruno and Agatha were 100% weak to the games' most broken type, and Lance's Pokémon were all either extremely frail (Dragonair and Aerodactyl) or had a nasty 4x weakness that was easy to exploit (Gyarados and Dragonite). Only Blue provided a real challenge after Lorelei.

Since remakes likely won't happen until next Gen there is a chance we may see some dragons with more unique dual types. Perhaps we'll see a Dragon/Steel type that isn't a legend. Also a Dragon/Fighting type would be awesome...but that's a bit off topic at this point.

Dragon needs more type combos, in general. Anything but Dragon/Flying and Dragon/Ground, please. (And, no, not just on Legendaries and Megas.) Seeing as three of the four "unique" non-Legendary Dragons (ie. Kingdra, Hydreigon, Tyrantrum, and Dragalge) were introduced after Gen 4, I do have hopes that GF is starting to improve on this. (I think the existence of Fairies certainly helps... There's now less of a pressure to give every Dragon a 4x Ice weakness because more things can deal with them.)

Actually it'll be pretty cool if Lance's rematch team had Charizard, Feraligatr, and Sceptile (especially if the second one also gets a Mega that is part dragon type) as we have yet to see someone with a starter of each type outside of Red.

That could be interesting. Lance used a Feraligatr in Stadium 2, so there's a precedent for him having one. I really want Feraligatr's Mega to be part-Dragon just so it can form a "Dragon Starter Trio" with Charizard and Sceptile.

Don't forget that there were no STAB Dragon moves to speak of in Gen I for Dragonite to benefit from...and I'm not sure if Lance's Dragonite even had flying moves for at least flying STAB.
I would love to battle Lorelei in the originals then, sounds like a challenge that hasn't existed in the games in a long time.

That's my hope too, it would be great to see a Dragon Mega Starter of every type.

If GF has Silph Co. develop the Pokegear a few years earlier (for the Kanto re-remake's time) then what features would you like to see added? Should they expand the radio feature of the device to work like the Hoenn, and Sinnoh sounds of HGSS' Pokegear? With mons that aren't common or native popping up?

 

[BettyNewbie]

Dragonite literally had no STAB in RBY. It didn't get Wing Attack until GSC (and even then, Wing Attack only had a paltry 35 BP in RBY), and it couldn't even learn Fly! That really defanged it a lot.

I would love to battle Lorelei in the originals then, sounds like a challenge that hasn't existed in the games in a long time.

You should play Yellow sometime. It's, in many ways, the hardest Gen 1 game (counting both RBY and FRLG). Lorelei was undoubtedly at her toughest there, having both RBY mechanics and better movesets (over RB) at her advantage. (For example, her Slowbro had a near-competitive moveset of Surf/Psychic/Withdraw/Amnesia. Amnesia was a VERY broken move in RBY thanks to how stats worked back then, making that Slowbro extremely dangerous if you didn't immediately kill it.)

That's my hope too, it would be great to see a Dragon Mega Starter of every type.

And, since Feraligatr is the only Water Starter that would make sense as a Dragon, it's the most obvious choice. {:3}

I'd have it be a slightly more pared-down version of Gen 2's PokéGear, such as the radio function only being used for swarms (with the Hoenn/Sinnoh/Unova/Kalos Sounds being unlocked as soon as you get the National Dex; Gen 2 Pokémon, on the other hand, would just automatically start appearing in the places they were located in GSC/HGSS Kanto).

The Phone would include the numbers of important NPCs (including every Gym Leader and E4 member) and would serve as both a means for scheduling Gym Leader rematches (as well as other time-based events) and as a much more functional replacement for the Fame Checker. The VS Seeker would still return for regular trainer rematches.
