6th Gen Come on! Let's take a dive!

I would love that. As I said the last time it was brought up perhaps there could be a small underwater opening, that works like a mini version of the Sootopolis and Trench cavern entrances. With a pond in the center of the cavern and a large sandy area in the rest. It could even be a open air base (meaning at night it'll turn completely dark unless one has lighting).

It would be awesome if you could fly to your secret base. That way you don't have to dive to get to it.

If it's open air that seems possible (or it'll simply be like the bases on the small island but with it being originally accessed differently). While the other bases we could fly outside, by the entrance. Or perhaps we can place a sign outside for flying to it.

Yeah, fly to your underwater secret base through the water, that seems sooooooooooo realistic and logical. I think GF will almost never implement that feature :/

Lol, we're talking about a base that is accessed similarly to how Sootopolis is, by the water though diving, or by the sky if it's open aired (like how Sootopolis is), were not talking about an underwater cavern here xD

 

[Salzorrah]

Oh, well that made sense. LOL

Oh, and I kinda saw some closed off islands, similar to the structure as Sootopolis has, aand possibly have potential to have secret bases. Maybe it's entrance be a dive feature?

What do you mean by dive feature? You think they're going to expand the way diving works? Maybe we're getting Super Diving xD.

 

[Salzorrah]

Oh I meant you have to dive underwater, enter a cavern, and surface, just like Sootopolis, in some islands.

Oh...the word feature made me think you were thinking of something new they could do with diving.
Well Sootopolis wasn't the only island in the originals where we could do that. There was the Seafloor Cavern, and other smaller islands we could do that so I'm sure they'll have that for other places.

Maybe an all new region only accessible with Dive that contains late-generation water type Pokemon like Frillish and Skrelp and others! Would be really cool to have a place like that, I think, as the areas in which you can Dive currently aren't too expansive and could use more. Especially because of the 3D graphics update o:

Why need Dive to access an all new region, where you can just open another route and use Surf >.> Although that seems cool, I doubt it will happen lol.

Yup, it would seem odd if they did that. And if they did do that, it'll likely be based on Shikoku (if they keep the regions based on real world for the most part) as it's closest to Kyushu.

Well, Dive looks really nice in the new trailer released the other day !

Spoiler:

(sorry the image is massive, I'll replace it with a better one later and not one off of Google search)

Looks like they got away from using the top down angle, which was mostly expected but still lovely to see. And look! It seems like we might get Diving sprites for Pokemon, or maybe they all look like Wailmer. I supposed to the second, but it's still kinda fun.

 

[Pinta77]

Totally looking forward to dive in the new games! It looked great in b/w. Should be beautiful on 3ds

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

How lucky of us that they showed dive, we almost had a dead thread on our hands.
Underwater looks awesome. I do wonder how the Abandoned Ship's underwater will look. I hope it looks different than what we've seen.
