Connect to the original games!
What if ORAS allowed us to actually connect directly and discreetly to the original games in-game? Like, a special feature (or even a new gizmo) allowing us to link with the RSE GBA games and allowing us to directly transfer Pokémon from those games? How would it feel?
|
All of my Pokémon from RSE are either in my Black 2 or X version, so it wouldn't be that useful. Also, I imagine that all Hoenn 'mons (minus a couple legendaries) will be obtainable within ASΩR, so there really wouldn't be a need to transfer. Though it would be useful if you had Pokémon from Colosseum or XD that you wanted to transfer into the new games.
|
That...sounds really innovative, honestly. It wasn't done with any other remakes, but with the originals being more recent than R/B and G/S, I think it could be possible. More likely than not, however, I don't think you can play GBA games on the 3DS. Correct me if wrong.
You could use the Virtual Console games to achieve compatibility, though. |
Probably not, since the 3DS doesn't have a GBA slot and I can't see how they would connect, or why we would need to, since they are going to be essentially upgraded versions of the originals.
I believe you have to transfer all your Pokemon from GBA games to DS ones, then to Gen 5 if you still want to have access to them in the newer ones because aren't they shutting off Wifi for the older games? |
I don't know how useful that would be really. Most people have transferred their old Pokemon to newer games and then probably have even sent them to X and Y through the bank.
|
I'm not really seeing how this would be useful for the majority of people; this seems like something targeted at hardcore fans only, and I'm assuming hardcore fans have already transferred all of their critters out of R/S/E through Pal Park. ):

I really doubt it. The days of the GBA are over.

They are 3DS games, and the 3DS doesn't have a GBA slot. The only way they'd directly connect is if they had something to transmit to an original DS or DS Lite though Download Play, which would then grab Pokemon from the GBA games. And that seems... mostly pointless. Especially since it hinges on people having a functioning DS or DS Lite, which fewer and fewer people have.

Putting them on the Virtual Console would essentially remove the possibility of multiplayer. Not only could you not complete the Pokedex, because of version exclusives, you also couldn't even evolve all the Pokemon you can catch, because of trade evolutions. Pretty much the only way this would happen is if Nintendo was desperate enough for cash that they'd bother essentially completely rewriting how the game handles multiplayer to handle 3DS wireless. |

PokeBank would've been a complete waste of money for a lot of people.

Although it sounds fun, I guess its not probable considering most people must have broken their copy of RSE or lost it or is corrupt. Besides if they did love their Pokemon, they could have imported them in DPPt before so I guess I would say no. :(
|
They made the remakes mostly because connection with 3rd gen was getting complicated (RS to DP, DP to BW, BW to XY), so it would be pointless to connect to the originals
|
I definitely agree that it will likely not happen because of PokéBank. There is no need to create an accessory that allows the 3DS to communicate with GBA games when PokéBank has been created for the purpose of transferring Pokémon. PokéBank wouldn't be a complete waste, because you'd still need it to transfer Pokémon from gens 4 and 5, but I still have my doubts, as the GBA is very old technology that the 3DS is most likely not compatible with. It just seems like the resources that went into such a device would be best focused elsewhere.

I was just thinking what if they included an emulated Ruby/Sapphire that you could unlock after defeating the champion in the remakes? It would be pretty nifty.
Omega Ruby - Unlock Sapphire Alpha Sapphire - Unlock Ruby Sure it would be kind of pointless, but the brilliant kind of pointless! |

I wish it were easy to directly transfer into Pokebank. Especially considering that the Pal Park and the Gen V mini games become tedious after awhile... |
It'd be neat, but how many people would be willing to pay for a device just to directly connect RSE to their 3DS? More than likely if such a method did exist, and the device came with the game, it'd probably drive the price of the games up slightly as well.
|
I'm going to say this probably WON'T happen. For a large variety of reasons.
POkémon have been migrated, and such. All RS games are no doubt empty at this current point in time, and people aren't going to play thorugh R/S to migrate Pokemon onto it's remakes, when they could just play the remakes. :/ |
On paper it's a cool idea, but there's not much need for it. Sure, we'd all love that sense of nostalgia playing with some old Pokemon that you trained back when you were a kid, but I'm not sure it's worth developing a way to connect with the old games. If people really wanted to experience that, they could do it, the process would just be complicated.
