Mauville & New Mauville Discussion & Speculation thread
Staff Note: As of June 27th, this thread is a conglomerate of the "New Mauville" and "Mauville Conundrum" threads. This thread can be used to discuss Mauville as a whole; the original post for "The Mauville Conundrum" can be found here if you're interested in viewing its content.
Wattson opened up New Mauville in the post-game of Pokemon Emerald. How do you think this will come into play in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? Will it have become a bustling metropolis and left "Old Mauville" in the dust? Will Wattson have retired and let the whole idea crumble? Perhaps New Mauville will have a plot point all its own? |
I think they could use this place for some form of a legendary Pokémon event. Since it's a power plant, it would most likely be an electric type, such as either Zapdos or Raikou (hope it to be the former, since I'm a huge fan of it). Aside from that, I don't really think it'd be have much use. :( If it were bigger, though, maybe they could have used it to turn it into Wattson's new gym location.

At the very least, it needs to be retconned as a place with electromagnetic waves permeating the area - in order to allow the evolutions of Magneton and Nosepass into Magnezone and Probopass, respectively. I mean, it looks suitable for such a purpose! |

Perhaps it'll house the Mega stone for Magnetic.

I'm actually hoping that New Mauville will play a bigger role this time around; I think that Wattson could at least give the player some backstory on why he created it and some people may move in once the generator is fixed.

I don't even think Wattson fully explained what New Mauville was. At least, I don't remember him doing so, nor do I remember anyone other than Wattson even mentioning New Mauville. I wouldn't mind someone moving down there, even if its a crazy old hermit haunted by a Rotom that's constantly possessing his things!
|
Again I think it'll have Manectric's Mega stone. Also I think it should have magnetic waves to evolve Nosepass and Magneton. Perhaps it could also have Zekrom...it's mechanical...and an electric type...while Meteor falls can have Reshiram.
|
I think New Mauville should be certainly a thing. They could expand it all over underground Hoenn, maybe getting a chance to get fossils and other diggable loot postgame.
A Manectric Mega Stone and magnetic evolution spot is going to be much more certain, though. I don't like the idea of posting a legendary there, if it's going to go metro. Because an electric legendary would probably dislike living underground. |

Im thinking that New Mauville is gonna become a futuristic underground metropolis like Black Opelucid City was but underground, and the original Mauville City will be like the White Opelucid City and be like rural and stuff.
|
Maybe it'll be like the power plant in Kalos and be just as big.
|
I'm not really up for seeing Unovan legends being applied to Hoenn as well. Why would there be Dark stones in Hoenn, anyway? It doesn't make sense that what is essentially the essence of Zekrom/Reshiram are in multiple places.
|
Assuming it is actually going to be in the games, I'm sure it will receive a new purpose. I'd be a bit annoyed if they put a legendary Pokémon in there though. Case is, New Mauville is an industrial area maintained by Watson, and it would be a bit odd if something like Zapdos or Raikou were to hop in and make it their nest. Both of those Pokémon roam a lot, and are very unlikely to settle in a man-made area. Zapdos tends to hide in remote or abandoned areas such as the Power Plant (at the time of R/B/Y and the remakes, it was), and Sea Spirit's Den. That said, if we see "New Mauville" fallen to ruin, then it is a possibility it would be a hiding place for either legendary. However I think that would be a bit of a cop out, given that it would be extremely similar to how Zapdos worked in the Power Plant.
In the anime, New Mauville is an area where Watson trained, and where a lot of electric Pokémon hung out. I imagine it will have a much similar place in the story this time around. Remember, "New Mauville" isn't meant to be an underground city, or some sort of utopia. It's a power plant. I don't think there will be anything incredible attached to it. If I were to wager a guess, it will involve Rotom, some new items, and more variety in wild Pokémon. |
As others have said, Manectric's Mega Stone being situated in New Mauville would make a lot of sense.

New Mauville will probably be included with minimal alterations in ORAS. It's primarily a power plant, and so it would be unsafe to house too many people around such a powerful energy source. It'll probably be an area post-game to find electric pokemon from future generations, if anything at all. I do agree with everyone else that putting the Mega Stone for Manectric in the city would fit perfectly.

I don't know what they would put in there. I mean, we know the games aren't sequels and NM is an electrical plant; there isn't a whole lot possible other than items and Pokemon since nobody is living there. Before Pokemon Bank, I would say there could be a Poketransfer system there, but now I got nothing, haha.
|
New Maulville was originally supposed to be a bomb shelter and it failed because the cold war ended. Jk. But it could of been as a use for hideout of a dreak he had of a KyoGro battle

Perhaps they might do a gym revamp similar to Elesa in B2W2 with the new gym in New Mauville and the old one still accessible in the old Mauville. New Mauville would probably be slightly developed though it depends how far in the future the game is set in. Mega stones for Manectric could be found here too.

As for what will New Mauville will be, well, it's already been said. It'll probably remain as the Power Plant, but the newer functions will probably be to evolve Nosepass, Magneton etc, although I think this will extend onto the Cycle Road and walking route next to New Mauville considering you need to surf to the location similar to the Badlands in XY. I don't think there will be any legendaries in there, I think there will be plenty of Electric Pokemon down there, I also expect Rotom to appear down there in some capacity maybe helping run certain areas of it. |
Am I missing something? I thought New Mauville was an underground area that controls Mauville City's power, not an underground city of its own... What's so special about it?
