New Areas
 
Past two remakes introduced new areas in their respective regions: Sevii Islands in FRLG, and Safari Zone (and Routes 47/48) in HGSS.

What could be in store this time, if any?

Hiatus May 7th, 2014 8:17 PM

Hmm... well, in X and Y, we've had this person give us an item known as Strange Souvenir, indicating that there's some new region in line for us; maybe this is the time we finally get to see it? If it does wind up to be true, I'd like it to be based off Sevii Islands. Would be great if it were completely open, where you get to discover new towns, caves, forests, routes, etc. by surfing from place to place. That souvenir was based after a Pokémon; perhaps this region could be the place for us to meet and capture it? I'm not really sure how it would actually look, though. Could be a ground or rock-type, since that item was brown in color. d: Aside from all this, I have no idea what other areas they could possibly have.

I really want to explore those islands that weren't accessible but have been sitting tantalizingly for over a decade on Hoenn's Town Map.

What secrets do you hold, dear islands? It's okay... Don't be shy...

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 7th, 2014 8:34 PM

I also want to visit those untouchable islands. Perhaps they'll have Hidden ability Pokémon.

I'll third that. I've also been curious of those islands.

Perhaps they could include a Mega evolution tower or building of some kind in one of the islands. Also perhaps the new areas could play a role with the new forms of the legendaries.

Having hidden ability Pokemon in the new areas sound like a great idea, actually.

Maybe they'll do something similar to the Sinjoh Ruins in that respect. The people of Hoenn and Kalos came together in ancient times, and the ruins of a crystal similar to the one in Anistar City is all that's left. If the island is big enough, or is part of a small archipelago, maybe the Mega Stones are strewn throughout there? Postgame sidequest/exploration anyone?

Elaitenstile May 7th, 2014 9:19 PM

There's going to be more than the Battle Frontier to come, hopefully. I'm guessing they'll go for something like Sevii Islands, since that worked out so well for FRLG. But my only hope is that they don't overdo the water, since in the 3DS... well, let's just say all the water animations makes the water a annoying place.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 7th, 2014 9:27 PM

I hope they put more the island around Pacifidlog town as that area is pretty much only useful to fly to when going across the currents to the Sealed Chamber.

New Locations?
 
In FR/LG we got the Sevii Islands, in HG/SS, We got Routes 47/48, Safari Zone and a few others, what would we be getting on OR/AS? Hoenn seems to be a bit too occupied by looking at the map of it in Emerald.

~Platina's Jason~ May 8th, 2014 8:18 PM

If they bring in new locations I would love it if they took inspiration from the anime and made LaRouse City from the Destiny Deoxys movie canon.

Aquacorde May 8th, 2014 8:21 PM

Maybe throw another island or two in the big open waterways to the east or open up the islands that have always been kind of at the edges of the map. Put a few towns there or like just a few houses with interesting NPCs in that'll give you stuff or challenge you to an inverse battle or something quirky and uncommon.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 8th, 2014 8:22 PM

I could swear someone already made a similar thread but can't find it lol. Well I hope that they add a whole lot of new areas, hopefully using the unaccessible islands around the mainland Hoenn.

Elaitenstile May 8th, 2014 9:01 PM

Yeah. Some sort of underwater places (inspired by Sotopolis) is something I'd really like to see, maybe a set of islands south of Hoenn only accessible through an underwater current. The inaccessible islands also sound pretty interesting.

Expanded Hoenn
 
Hoenn is a huge region as it is but could these remakes introduce new cities and towns? There's a lot of sea space where new islands can pop up. Also if we get new Gyms we'll need new cities to house them such as with Black2 and White2. So what type of new cities or towns would you like to see and where?

Pepperton May 14th, 2014 9:11 AM

They could add new areas or just expand on previous ones. I think with the revolutionized 3D graphics, they could really include a lot more when using Dive. They could add a whole new area, like an island that you can go to post-game, and it would contain future generation pokemon in the wild. Or, they could just enlarge the Battle Frontier!

"HoneyClaws" May 14th, 2014 9:24 PM

I would like to see the remakes get new islands especially for stronger trainers like a MT-Battle high valcano themed area just like in Colosseum; or a rainforest themed safarii zone.

Altairis May 14th, 2014 9:36 PM

Just in case anybody was wondering, one of the "untouched" islands is actually Southern Island - it's the little one to the left of the larger unmarked one.

Hatsune Mika May 15th, 2014 5:15 AM

There could maybe be islands that open after the KyoGro disaster and kinda postgame or close to it that unlock Pokémon that are stronger.

The Corrupt Plague May 16th, 2014 2:33 PM

I see a new mini region in the works. Something along the lines of Sevii Islands. I know that Strange Souvenir Guy mentions that he got his item from a place that we haven't seen before. I'm willing to bet that wherever he's hinting at is what we'll find post-game.

Iceshadow3317 May 16th, 2014 2:40 PM

I would love to explore the unexplored islands as well. I also hope they add more. Would be great if they put a post game storyline in somewhere. I was never able to go to the Lati island and such. Also never managed to find Mirage Island. So I do not know where they are exactly on the map.

Salzorrah May 16th, 2014 5:08 PM

I would love to explore more of the areas in Ever Grande City and somehow expand it to become an actual city. I kinda want to see more areas in the mainland tho, near Slateport, Mt. Pyre, Pacifidlog.

There's not really room on Ever Grande City to add even a small village. If anything, they might rename it to Ever Grande Island.

I guess something they could do is completely redesign Victory Road as a subterranean city in addition to being a dungeon, but, even though that'd be really cool, I don't really see that happening.

New Areas
 
I was checking the new Hoenn map and started wondering if there'd be any brand new routes or areas, like the Sevii Islands in FRLG and the Safari Zone and respective routes in HGSS. The main thing that got me thinking about this was the odd looking purple-ish thing that appears to be in the sea north of Lilycove. Whether that's an actual new area or anything remains to be seen, but what are your thoughts on the possible inclusion of brand new areas in ORAS? For convenience, the new Hoenn map is in the spoiler, below.
