Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, & Emerald Remake Speculation Thread

[The 100 Mega Shock]

Whichever plot they use as the basis, they will - at least I damn well hope they will - be completely restructuring the plot anyway so that the game stands up to the same level as Black and White, so it should be almost unrecognisable to the original games apart from the core of the storyline - which is similar in both games.

Right now every other Pokémon game is much worse for storytelling than B/W, which makes a real effort to throw the player into a story that goes on all the time instead of the bad guys showing up at places around every other town and only interacting with the player and a few NPCs that don't do anything else.

Honestly, I thought R/S/E was unbearably boring. Storyline wise. The graphics also turned me off, so atm Hoenn is my least favorite region.

Thats why I am looking forward to the remakes. The new graphics, and hopefully better storyline will give me a new perspective on Hoenn.

Or not. We'll see.

That's the reason why I'd like them in remakes purely because not many people appreciated it and a rehaul would do just that.

I can't find any registered domains with anything related to MagmaRuby or AquaSapphire, so I have reason to believe that those aren't going to be the names.
:(

I searched for that myself, they will pull something unexpected out of the bag as such with HGSS, who expected that?

 

[PelipperMail]

Do you think that there is a possibility, that, if they change the plot (like aforementioned), that they would also change the name/mascot? For example, the games would still be set in Hoenn with a similar plot, except they would be called Pokémon Seas and Pokémon Mountains? Well, of course those wouldn't be the actual names, but it would be quite a neat idea.

I think they will stick with the weather plot regarding Groudon with drought and Kyogre with drizzle, I thought that was a brillant storyline. If its a remake they will want to keep everything the same as much as possible but theres always room for change.

 

[Xander Olivieri]

If they remake them, they have to stay centered to Ruby and Sapphire's original story line. If they Deviate even the slightest before the main story ends, then they aren't remakes of Ruby and Sapphire. They'd most likely be a remake of Emerald.

Its the Only region in existence with two different story line key characters. Change even part of it like they did with G/S/C's then the story becomes Emerald and not Ruby/Sapphire. So the Ruby remake will pretty much JUST be against Magma and Groudon so Kyogre should NOT appear at all in the main story and vice versa for Sapphire. They'd have to reuse the original story un-edited up until the end. The after that they'd pretty much water down with bonus stuff like in D/P.

I doubt they'd mush around the story to make it different than RS' storylines. However, I'm just hoping they leave in the multitude of double battles that Emerald had. n____n That's one of the only reasons I prefer Emerald to RS really, haha.

I don't understand why they need to be constrained to replicating the exact motions of their old game when they proved they can make games that are far better today.

ShiningRuby and SparklingSapphire?

Like I say, it wont be what we expect... so expect the unexpected.

I loved RSE, and I loved all of the water. However, on some playthroughs, I couldn't be bothered covering every single route and every single 'splash'/tile of water. Do you think that the remakes (if any) will reduce the mass of water? And if so, how would they?

That depends on how you thought/think the original storyline was, which will vary. I personally loved the storyline, etc. for the most part, but if you mean like adding in more Gym leader/Elite Four interaction, expanding on some parts they couldn't before, etc., then I'm for that.

Pretty much, as long as I can play the games and can 'recognize them'(originals, whether it be R/S/each with Emerald based) with the upgrades, touches, etc. added in, then I'll be fine.

If anything, I bet the water routes will be expanded(like everything else will be) due to there being more room to expand/add on some things. Although, this time around, there probably will be a bigger variety of water type encounters and most likely other things to do in the water routes as well.

I don't get what is with all the disliking of the surfing. Aside from the needing of more variety of encountered pokemon, I thought they were just fine. It took me some time to figure out how to get to Sootopolis during my first time playing and it was actually really fun going through all that water and discovering things until I did.

They will maintain originality and that's what Hoenn was best known for it's deset and water routes so I doubt they will make ANY changes to the map, which is good cause I loved Hoenn.

I loved it as well, just hoping its beauty can be shown more in the remakes. The region deserves that.

Ruby Sun and Sapphire Moon are my personal favorites. They certainly make more sense than MagmaRuby and AquaSapphire, which seems to be the most popular choice.

Another one that made me chuckle is DroughtRuby and DrizzleSapphire.

Also, IIRC, the Hoenn E4 didn't appear in the anime. I'm kind of hoping they'd make (at least) a cameo appearance in Best Wishes to promote the remake. Kind of like how Lyra appeared when HGSS was released.

I have a good idea, hope it is good, instead of pokemon appearing when you're surfing, let there be more Dive spots and more Pokemon under the sea and the Pokemon that appeared while you were surfing can appear in grass near the sea. What do you guys think?

You know what I would just find hilarious? The addition of actually being able to launch the rocket in Mossdeep and going to the moon to find Jirachi. After all of the rumors and lies about it, it would be quite the addition to the game.
