It's been awhile since I was last active in this thread, but I need to check up on here to see what's been going on :O
Grey is too predictable, nontheless there's always a chance.
A very small chance, but yes I highly agree with you on this. In the past they've been known to pull our leg with the 3rd game name. Emerald was a lucky guess. But Crystal and Platinum threw us off a bit. But it just expands that "anything can happen" But I will be disappointed if the 3rd game will be called "Gray/Grey."
Still, I think they should add a little bit more Sprite changes. Kinda like how they did in every New Games (IMO).
Sprite changes are one of my favorite features in the 3rd game :D There should be a sprite change for every season. Platinum kind of experimented with the winter outfit. I loved how they considered the environment for that. Why not do the same for the Unova region? I think that would be a great idea.
What if the third game was based on Genesect. I have no idea how the story would work but god it would be way better than Kyreum. Also does anyone think the third game will introduce some new formes? What pokemon will get one?
Not so sure how this would tie directly into the storyline, but I might have a few guesses on how it could represent the game name wise. Since it was enhanced by Team Plasma and is the only pokemon that can know Techno Blast, I was thinking it could tie in with one of the radioactive elements such as Radon (reddish-purplish color). Then again Team Plasma didn't say what exactly they used to enhance Genesect, but Team Plasma ("Plasma") would make it seem that they used some sort of radioactive element to do this. It's just a thought, I can't really see this being part of the main story. Maybe an after story of some sort.
Well the pattern is corrupt at the moment because the difference between RG & FRLG is 8 years, then GS and HGSS is 10 years so we can't really base it on that.. it could be 11 years, 12.. who knows. Also, Emerald came AFTER FRLG but Platinum came BEFORE HGSS.
I think Junichi Masuda was pulling our leg when he posted on Twitter "We weren't going to do a Ruby/Sapphire remake, but we'll consider it." I bet they had this planned for years but just typed that to "spark interests" xDD That's just my guess lol. But for the timeline, well anything goes since there's no specific pattern. If I could guess a time frame for that to be released it would be sometime in 2013, even though Hoenn's anniversary is in 2012. Then for the 3rd installment release day........well it's hard to say. I want it to be after the Hoenn remake (follow the FR/LG/E pattern). It's just really hard to tell at this point.
For the name speculation, I'm still sticking with my Zircon idea from months ago. Kyurem of course will be the mascot of the 3rd game, but Grey....it's just not working for me. Zircon can appear colorless hence Kyurem since Grey is kind of colorless? I was told once that Grey isn't a true color, but it's still there. Meh, I had a lot more on the speculation of the name but it just flew out the window.
