6th Gen [Super]-Secret Bases!

[The Curious Zorua]

I cannot wait for this feature to come back and be newly improved from the old games, I loved secret bases so much. But.... I hope trainer customization is still a thing because I have my doubts about friends being different trainer classes instead of a customizable character.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Hopefully it be in these games too, making these games the most customizable games yet.

I plan to make my base perhaps in one of the bases accessible only by using the Arco bike to challenge people to find my base and battle me.

Now the problem is asking your friends for QR codes, nobody really cared for Trainer PR videos, but for some reason nearly everyone you want to view their video is unavailable or just plain trolling

 

[Salzorrah]

Would make sense if they kept the Greek Letter scheme considering that we have greek letters in the game title :P

I'm wondering if you can purchase stairs as a new item, or maybe a part of the layout?

I'm sure we'll see bases have more sharing than the videos ever did.

I agree; it'd make total sense to keep the Greek letter naming scheme!

If the one layout with stairs shown is the Iota layout, then maybe they're purchasable? I could see some bases having an elevated room but with no way to access them until you buy stairs. (Also, just thinking about how some of the bases will have elevated rooms makes me think of how far we've gone in terms of graphics. It's really exciting!)

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

The elevated rooms are exciting, makes one feel we may get more space. Would be cool if we could build up...and maybe even down.

I am pretty sure that the stairs shown in one of the pics is actually a slide. I have a vague memory of having one in my base in Sapphire. I would check but I don't have the game and I have no idea where my base was. I have a bad memory so I usually use the base south of Mauville, but I think I found a better one and moved it lol. This is also why I hope that our bases get marked on our region maps!

Is this the slide you're thinking of? It's much too slim to be the stairs. Though, going down a slide from a higher part of the base sounds like a lot of fun ;-;

Yeah, the stairs I saw were wider, and you could see the wall of the floor below.

 

[Altairis]

Yeah, I assumed you were talking about that one because the stairs in the Iota layout seemed to be a way of getting across the hole instead of stairs to another area. Whoops.

Spoiler:

Iota layout? The stairs could be in place of the hole.

But I guess now that you look at it, it doesn't seem to be the same layout. In RSE, the top room is square, and in ORAS, top room looks different. So maybe.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

They probably changed it up.
I wonder if the Skitty tv will return. I'll love to see that in 3D.

 

[Belldandy]

I love this :D I did it in RSE, but not too often since I never got any good-looking furniture :(

I like decorating in Animal Crossing, though, so this should be nice :)

Like the one in this pic?

Gotta admit, I love seeing all the old stuff in 3D. Also like how you can rotate the objects as well~

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

My favorite was the Tent. It brought back a lot of memories, seeing how it was the center piece of my bases.

 

[Pepperton]

Seeing the secret bases screenshots with old items rendered in 3D certainly have made me indulge in some nostalgic reminiscing. Lovely to see various things returning like the adorable Skitty TV, as well as new features like QR code compatibility. Super-secret bases will be one of the first things I try out in ORAS, for sure. Gonna spend a lot of time making mine look pretty :]

 

[Salzorrah]

I remember me using the Delta Layout a lot haha, It was fun, and the tents were <3I didnt get the chance to get the Lilycove-exclusive items tho :( so no barriers, covers, slides ;;

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

The department items weren't hard to come by. Did people not visit the department store or listened to the tv daily like I did. I was a secret base maniac as a kid it seems xD.

 

[Abnegation]

I was hoping that they would expand on the bases a bit, visually. As of now, it seems like they've simply just updated the graphics. I was hoping that the bases would be a bit larger, with more practical features, and customisation options.

That said I can't complain too much, there's a lot of nostalgia in there. I look forward to seeing all the connectivity and how it plays out in the games. Secret bases were just a small part of what made Hoenn so special, and they've now got added features. So I'm happy to see that at least.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

They could still have the option to make them bigger announced (or they could let us find out on our own) later. We still don't know what Aarune's roll will extend to. He may give us new things to change up our bases further on.
