Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Speculation Contest
 
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
Speculation & Giveaway Contest

Information

Welcome to the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Speculation Contest! Since this forum opened just a short few days ago, the speculation discussion has been at an all time high with no end in sight. That said, we want to take advantage of everyone's creative juices by introducing the Speculation Contest! What the contest essentially does is challenges you to imagine the new Hoenn region and all of its nooks and crannies. Will Professor Birch still forget his dog whistle on the counter at home? Will the scientist in Oldale still be obsessed with footprints? You're in the driver's seat: you decide!

The guidelines/things to remember are as follows:
— copy and paste the list below into your post and fill out your answers appropriately
— you may edit your post as often as you'd like and bonus points will be awarded to those who predict correctly, but it will be obvious to know if you edited in a particular answer after something was revealed so don't try to cheat!
— the thread will be closed during news leaks (Pokemon Smash, CoroCoro, Pokemon TV, etc) in order to circumvent any possible cheating
— as news is leaked, questions answered will be updated in the opening post and can no longer be answered
— as more ambiguous news is leaked, more questions will be added to the first post to answer, so keep an eye out
— this thread is not for discussion; do not post anything here except answers

There will be two winners, both decided based on their post's creativity, uniqueness, and whether or not it would make logical sense for certain events to play out. For the winner's efforts, they will be awarded a physical copy of their choice of Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. First place will choose their copy and second place will receive the one unchosen. As an alternative to a physical copy, those uncomfortable with providing personal details will receive an Amazon voucher so they can purchase their copy of the game.

Please direct any and all questions to Antemortem or Pepperton via Private Message!

Cilicica May 10th, 2014 9:13 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
You'll be a customizable character like in X & Y since the game will probably take place in the future and your rival will be the son/daughter of either May or Brendan :P
What role will Wally play?
Maybe he'll be the Champion or some "legendary person" who helps you along the way.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan and Wallace will probably keep their original roles but Steven will probably help you along the way if Wally is the Champion. (Or maybe the Champion will be May or Brendan :O!)
Will there be any other League-related changes?
I think they'll just change the Pokémon and include those from newer generations. The Champion will change and maybe 1-2 of the Elite Four with other characters from the original games.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
He'll probably keep his role in search of another cool trainer after those from the original games moved on.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Still the peacemaker for Groudon and Kyogre (maybe it'll have to mega evolve :O)
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Groudon will probably be Fire/Ground (I've always wondered why it wasn't a fire type) Kyogre might be Water/Steel. The abilities will probably stay the same, as well as their signature moves (Water spout/Eruption) Or they might make new ones specifically for them.
— their roles in the games will be?
They'll discover their Megastones and go berserk and fight again.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
They probably will be the Megastones since they kind of look like them. Or something will happen to the orbs that will turn them into Megastones.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Pokémon like Plusle/Minun (ones with a partner) Probably Groudon/Kyogre as well.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Not as much as X & Y. Perhaps there will be new areas where IV-VI Pokémon are more common.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
I'm not sure. Just a few extra Pokémon that correspond with the types in that area. EX: Mt Pyre will have more Ghost Pokémon from newer generations.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
The legendaries and more Hoenn Pokémon?
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
For the legendary Pokémon, they'll be where the Blue/Red Orbs originally were. As for the rest, they'll be sprinkled around the game like X & Y.
New areas to be introduced?
Yes! Probably South-East since there's a lot of water and empty islands.
Ideas for post-game content?
Battle Frontier upgrade! As well as cool contests.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 10th, 2014 9:31 PM

Who will be the protagonists?

May and Brendan will return with new designs, and will be customizable.

What role will Wally play?

He'll be one of the rivals. He'll appear more than in the originals. He will hopefully appear at the BF. He'll get Mega Gallade instead of Mega Gardevoir.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Wallace will be champion, or they'll make Steven and Wallace version exclusive champions. Juan will stay the gym leader or he'll be the gym leader in the game Wallace is the champion.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

The Elite four will get their Emerald teams instead of their RS teams. The Elite four members will stay the same.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

He will. He'll talk about the Battle Frontier. He'll also tell us about the different kinds of battle forms they are such as double, triples, etc.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

Rayquaza will likely play the same role it did in Emerald. However something will happen in which it won't be able to stop the mascot, just the opposite version's mascot. I'm guessing the mascot's mega evolution will throw a wrench into Rayquaza putting a stop on things.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Groudon will be made Ground/Fire. It'll have the ability Magma Aura. It's signature move will be Eruption (even though it's known by others). Maybe it'll also gain a new move. Kyogre will be Water and may gain the psychic or Ice types and gain Aqua Aura. It's signature move will be Water Spout. It may also gain another new move not in XY.


Rayquaza will also get a Primal. Perhaps Dragon/Electric with Levitate as it's ability, or Flying/Dragon (yes reversed the type order to make Rayquaza look more like a sky diety) with an ability that counters Primal Groudon and Kyogre's. Or maybe even two Primals? Her Primal will likely be revealed on the September issue of Corocoro (or on the official site on the 16th if it's not on corocoro) as a sign of the 10th year anniversary of Emerald's release in Japan.
— their roles in the games will be?
They'll play the same roles they did in Emerald. However they'll go Primal and change things and proceed to head to Origin cave like in the original pair. There we will need to stop it.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Their Red and Blue orbs will shatter, revealing Mega Stones buried within, mega stones created by the Super Ancient Power they've been storing up. I speculate that something about these orbs actually being made from energy that accumulated over the eons will be revealed. A similar event will occur with the Jade orb for Rayquaza.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
OR
Palkia

Reshiram
Lugia
Latios
Solosis
AS
Dialga
Zekrom
Ho-oh
Latias
Gothorita

Pokemon that require the other exclusive to obtain (added this part to my list):
Kyurem
Giratina

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? They will, but in post game most likely.
One of them will be Solosis who will be found my Mt. Chimney to reference how extremophiles live in Mt. Asu which Chimney is based on.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?[COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"] Mega Sceptile Omega and Alpha, Seviper, Zangoose, Delcatty, Luxray, Flygon, Swampert, Dusklops, Sableye, Lugia, Ho-oh, (Regice, Registeel, Regirock, Regigigas well more like Primals for these four)Gallade, Raichu, Ninjask, Shedinja, Tropius, Exploud, Sharpedo, Camerupt,Milotic, Mega Spinda, Mega Shuckle, Mega Ursaring, Mega Donphan, Mega Swellow, Mega Noctowl, Mega Kingdra, and several others. Also Shiftry and Ludicolo will get one. Shiftry will be available only in Omega Ruby and Ludicolo only in Alpha Sapphire.
[COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden? Some will be like Gallade's. Those of the legends will be in the spots you capture them like Mewtwo or somewhere nearby. Either Norman or Steven will give us the stone for our starter to Mega evolve. We will be able to buy the other two at the department store in Lilicove.
New areas to be introduced?

The will be three new routes and several towns, a lot of new areas to explore. Also a snowy mountain will be added where we will be able to capture ice types post game.

Ideas for post-game content?
The Battle Frontier will return. Also half of the places mentioned in the new areas will be available similar to how we could only go to the first three of the seven Sevii islands. Also the PWT will make a comeback in some form for the post game. Cynthia will appear and tell the player about the Creation trio. She and the Hoenn champions (Steven and Wallace) will play a role in the event. Another event is Norman will tell the player that a legend from their home region (Ho-oh or Lugia depending on your version) has appeared in Hoenn. He will suggest to the player to find it and capture it. If you show it to him he'll give you it's Mega stone.

Timbjerr May 10th, 2014 10:00 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
- Brendan and May of course, with typical remake redesigns and ability to customize their outfits.

What role will Wally play?
- He'll probably remain more or less the same as far as backstory goes, but I'd like to see battles with him become more recurring and definitely join Brendan and May in their fight against Team Aqua/Magma.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
- Juan will be a generic Sootopolis NPC in charge of guarding the entryway into the Cave of Orgin that convices the player challenge his protegé at the gym as proof of their worthiness. Wallace and Steven will remain more or less unchanged from their original R/S roles.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
- As with FRLG and HGSS, the Pokémon League will remain true to the originals during the main plot with the exception of Steven using MegaMetagross, but for post-game rematches, anything goes.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
- I see him functioning similarly to the Safari Warden in HGSS. He'll come out of nowhere mid/late-game and announce the existence of his Battle Frontier to you, but seem you unworthy of competing. Only after beating Steven will he approach you to invite you to compete and give you the appropriate SS Tidal ticket.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
- He'll appear in cutscenes dealing with Team Aqua/Magma to foil their plans at controlling Kyogre/Groudon, before going back into the sky. Much like in Ruby/Sapphire, he'll be pretty much just a post-game prize after his plot purposes are fulfilled.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

- MegaGroudon: Ground/Grass-type, Sun's Gift ability (Groudon and all allies gain 1.5x Atk and Def so long as the sun is still out)
- MegaKyogre: Water/Electric-type, Storm's Gift ability (Kyogre and all allies gain 1.5x Sp.Atk and Sp.Def so long as it's still raining)

— their roles in the games will be?
Same as before, however this time, scientists loyal to Team Aqua/Magma would be attempting to bring out their "true potential" (aka, mega evolution) through devious means to increase the potency of their power when they do awaken them.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Never thought of that before, though to fir into my above theory, the Red/Blue orbs being tampered with by Team Aqua/Magma scientists create an unusual mutation in the stones.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
- On top of the old version exclusives (Ruby has Seedot, Mawile, Zangoose, Solrock, and Groudon while Sapphire had Lotad, Sableye, Seviper, Lunatone, and Kyogre), I can see Oddish and Budew becoming counterparts as well as Grimer and Koffing.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
- I'd doubt it. Perhaps as post-game swarms and in hidden areas blocked off until after the E4.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
The best candidates are those on this list of pokémon completely unobtainable in XY without transfers or trades. Regigigas and Shellos are also obvious choices.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
- Sceptile, Swampert, Swellow, Sableye, Sharpedo, Camerupt, Milotic, Metagross, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza

Monte Blanc May 10th, 2014 11:39 PM

Who will be the protagonists?

  • May & Brendan, because these are remakes and not sequels; customizable outfits will make a return with possible swimwear due to Hoenn's largely ocean-based routes and the Dive mechanic.
What role will Wally play?

  • I'm expecting Wally's role to be reinforced as the game's more serious rival, with May/Brendan remaining as the friendlier one. I believe we'll be seeing more of him throughout Hoenn, possibly even as a part of the Team Aqua/Magma plot, but that may just be wishful thinking. He'll later appear as a rival again at the Battle Frontier and possess a Mega Gallade.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

  • I expect Wallace to reprise his role as the 8th Gym Leader while Steven fills the spot of Champion once again. As for Juan, I'd like to see him as a Contest Rival and possibly a hidden Trainer in the post-game. Maybe receive a Shiny Feebas as a reward for defeating him?
Will there be any other League-related changes?

  • Aside from obvious retcons of Gym Leader and E4 teams, I don't believe we'll see any of the Gym Leaders or E4 replaced of shuffled around. These are remakes, remember, not sequels, so it wouldn't really make sense to remove or switch anyone around that wasn't in the originals.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

  • Yes, and as the promoter and talent scout of the Battle Frontier, of course! I'd like to see Scott be a battable character, at least once, just for the novelty of it.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

  • Despite them remaking Ruby and Sapphire as compared to simply remaking Emerald, I still think Rayquaza will play a pivotal role in the game, possibly with Wally as well. The way I see it, each game will focus on their respective evil teams and their attempts to gain control of Kyogre/Groudon. Well, as you know, there are two orbs which can control these two titanic Pokemon. In the games, you are given the orb that isn't stolen by Archie/Maxie and use it later on to battle and capture Kyogre/Groudon. I believe we'll see a flip in the stories, with Team Magma being the main villains in AS and Aqua being the antagonists of OR. This flip would result in you battling Archie/Maxie (Each controlling their respective legendary beast) with Kyogre/Groudon. Rayquaza would then, once again, swoop in and halt the battling, possibly being awakened by Wally, or simply by the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. Rayquaza would then be found at the top of Sky Pillar, but could only be accessed if the player is in possession of the Green Orb, obtained by reuniting the Red and Blue Orbs.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

  • Types would remain the same as no possible dual-typings (Aside from Ground/Fire for Groudon) would be logical or beneficial to them.
  • Abilities would also remain the same, if not slightly tweaked (Improved accuracy for STAB moves or slight power buff to Electric/Ground moves since Sunny weather and Heavy Rain don't enhance Groudon's STAB or Kyogre's perfect-accuracy Thunder).
  • Signature moves are on the table since Mewtwo got one, finally, in Gen V. I think something along the lines of:
    • Tsunami: Water//Special//120 BP//5 PP//100% Accuracy// A tremendous wave floods the entire field, hitting all targets.
    • Seismic Rift: Ground//Physical//120 BP//5 PP//95% Accuracy// A rift in the earth opens beneath the target, swallowing them whole and possibly leaving a burn. 30% chance of inflicting Burn.
— their roles in the games will be?

  • Mega Kyogre and Mega Groudon will either remain as post-game content, or be a prominent part of the games' plot. Archie and Maxie may use the beasts in their Mega Formes during the game's climax to add a little extra theatricality. If not, I would imagine their Mega Formes would be revealed to you by the old couple atop Mt. Pyre since they seem to be the two most well-informed individuals on the Legendary Weather Pokemon, aside from Wallace, who may also gift you with the beasts' respective Mega Stones based on your version.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

  • If they don't use the Red and Blue Orbs as the Mega Stones then they will have missed a very logical opportunity. The orbs have a deep connection with Kyogre and Groudon, so it stands to reason that the stones would also be the key to unlocking their Mega Evolutions.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

  • Omega Ruby: Rattatta, Raticate, Koffing, Weezing, Misdreavus, Ho-Oh, Seedot, Nuzleaf, Shiftry, Mawile, Minun, Volbeat, Zangoose, Solrock, Shuppet, Banette, Groudon, Latios, Cherubi, Cherrim, Mismagius, Glameow, Purugly, Cottonee, Whimsicott, Darumaka, Darmanitan, Elygem, Beeheeyem, Bouffalant Tornadus, Reshiram
  • Alpha Sapphire: Meowth, Persian, Porygon, Porygon-2, Stantler, Lugia, Lotad, Lombre, Ludicolo, Sableye, Plusle, Illumise, Seviper, Lunatone, Duskull, Dusclops, Kyogre, Latias, Kricketot, Kricketune, Buneary, Lopunny, Finneon, Lumineon, Dusknoir, Porygon-Z, Yamask, Cofagrigus, Frillish, Jellicent, Tynamo, Eelektrik, Eelektross, Thundurus, Zekrom
Reasoning: Minus the Hoenn exclusives (which are the same as the original games with the additions of Plusle/Minun, Volbeat/Illumise, Shuppet & Bannette/Duskull, Dusclops, & Dusknoir, and Latias/Latios), the rest of the Pokemon listed are all Pokemon unattainable in X & Y outside of using the PokeTransfer system. It stands to reason that they would make these otherwise unattainable Pokemon available on a different game as further motivation for dedicated gamers to buy these remakes outside of nostalgia and Gen III-stans. The dividing-up of exclusives may seem to skew in-favor of AS, but I split them in this manner because both games still come out with 21 exclusive families of Pokemon each (As in, Evolutionary Lines). I also took into account the theme of each version's exclusives, with Ruby being obviously more centered around Pokemon that benefit from the Drought ability and are generally more "sunny" in design as compared to Sapphire, which is centered around "cooler" Pokemon and those that benefit from Drizzle.


Will Generation IV - VI [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue ! important]Pokemon[/COLOR][/COLOR] be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

  • I would imagine we'd see Gen IV and Gen V Pokemon, but definitely no Gen VI Pokemon. With X & Y still so fresh on the market, the exclusion of Gen VI Pokemon in the games would help to boost X & Y sales for those interested in completing the National Dex (even with access to Global Trading, some people still prefer to just capture the Pokemon themselves and trade between their own games). As for the Gen IV and Gen V Pokemon included, I want to say we'll get a very small number, possibly limited only to the version-exclusive families I listed above and maybe two or three other families that are exclusive to the Friend Safari in X & Y.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

  • GameFreak has trademarked Mega Sceptile, Mega Swampert, Mega Plusle, Mega Minun, Mega Kyogre, Mega Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza, so I think it's safe to say that they will be receiving Mega Evolutions. I also believe Sableye and Dusknoir will recieve Megas to round-out the Mega Evolutions given to Mawile and Banette. I can also see a Mega Evolution for Volbeat and Illumise, as they are considered rather mediocre and overlooked Pokemon and could use the attention. Flygon, Metagross, Milotic, Altaria, Mightyena, Delcatty, and Kecleon all seem to be strong possibilities also due to popularity and/or otherwise underwhelming stats Other possible Megas outside of Gen III, in my opinion, are Jynx, Mr. Mime, Farfetch'd, Delibird, Girafarig, Wobbuffet, Azumarill, and Gallade. Reasoning behind these choices are as followed:
    • Jynx has been a popular fan-choice to receive an evolution since the introduction of Magmortar and Electivire, effectively removing Jynx from the "triad" it was once a part of, up to Gen III. A Mega Evolution would not amend this, but it could serve as a good alternative to the evolution players have been asking for.
    • Mr. Mime has never been a particularly popular or strong Pokemon, but it was retconned in Gen VI as a Fairy/Psychic-type, giving it credence as a viable candidate for future Mega Evolution due to this seemingly random boon to an otherwise obscure Pokemon.
    • Farfetch'd & Delibird have both been seen as novelty Pokemon; nothing more than collectibles due to their incredibly low BST's and typings. Evolutions have been hoped for for these two for quite a while, with an almost-believable hoax surfacing at the time of Gen V's announcement, so Mega Evolutions may not be out of the realm of possibilities for these two.
    • Girafarig...well, to be straight-forward, I just think it's a worthy Mega-candidate. Something like having its tail-end become dominate and its typing changing to Dark/Normal or even Dark/Psychic. I dunno, just a cool concept, to me.
    • Both Wobbuffet and Azumarill are the only Pokemon from a previous generation to receive new additions to their evolutionary families in Gen III; both received pre-evolutions in the forms of Wynaut and Azurill. This, along with Azumarill's retcon as a Fairy and Wobbuffet's popularity due to the anime and its infamous competitive potential, leads me to believe that these two are almost guaranteed Megas.
    • Gallade is actually pretty self-explanatory. Gardevoir received a Mega in Gen VI and was showcased as Champion Diantha's star Pokemon...so, wouldn't it make sense that Gallade would also receive a Mega since Ralts is the star Pokemon of your rival, Wally? We all know that Wally will end up battling with Gallade since Kirlia now has a Male-exclusive Evolution.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

  • Sceptile and Swampert's, along with Blaziken's, would be mid-game from either Professor Birch or May/Brendan. You would receive the stone correlating to your starter choice. One would then later be received from May/Brendan, and the other could be bought from Steven Stone.
  • Dusknoir's would obviously be hidden on Mt. Pyre and be a Alpha Sapphire-exclusive, opposite Bannette's that would be found in the same place.
  • Sableye's would be located in a new part of Granite Cave, counterpart to Mawile's.
  • Plusle and Minun's would be gifts to you from Wattson as a reward for fixing the generator in New Mauville.
  • Volbeat and Illumise's would be received as prizes for beating your first contest in Verdanturf Town.
  • Flygon's would be located in the desert portion of Route 111.
  • Metagross's would be a gift from Steven after replacing him as Champion.
  • Milotic's would be a prize for winning every Master Rank Contest in Lilycove City, or, alternatively, as a reward for showing an NPC at the Lilycove Contest Hall a Milotic with Max Beauty.
  • Altaria's would be located somewhere in Fortree City.
  • Kecleon's would be located on Route 120.
  • Mightyena's and Delcatty's would be received as rewards from the "footprint specialist" that blocks your path in Oldale Town at the beginning of the game. After he realizes he was sketching his own footprints, you can talk to him and receive a request to see a specific Pokemon's footprint each day. If you can successfully show him the Pokemon's footprint that he wants ten times, he'll reward you with your choice of the Mightyencite or the Delcatticite.
  • Jynx's would be found in the icy area of Shoal Cave.
  • Mr. Mime's would be given as a reward for completing the last level of the Trick House.
  • Farfetch'd's and Delibird's would be bought from a salesman on the roof of the Lilycove Dept. Store, but only on Special Sale Days. Farfetchicite would be purchasable in Omega Ruby, and Delibirdicite would be purchasable in Alpha Sapphire.
  • Girafarig's would be found in the Safari Zone.
  • Wobbuffet's would be received as a gift by hatching the Wynaut given to you at Lavaridge Town. If you raise it to MAX Happiness, the same old woman will give you the Wobbuffite after you become Champion and initiate the Mega Stone sub-quest.
  • Azumarill's would be located in a Dive Spot near Pacificlog Town.
  • Gallade's would be a gift from Wally for completing the Battle Frontier.
New areas to be introduced?

http://s18.postimg.org/sjydm2u3t/Hoenn.png

  • The areas circled in red, to me, seem like the most plausible new areas we'd get to explore, if new areas are included. Some would argue that the large landmass south of Pacificlog Town would be a logical choice as well, but it sits too close to the town and take away from the town's unique aesthetic. The circled area near Dewford Town could possibly be the home of a non-Gen III legendary trio, possibly the Legendary Dogs, that could be unlocked in the post-game. The area south of the passage between Mauville and the route leading to Fortree could serve as simply a large, extra route that could house a Legendary, or a post-game dungeon to explore. The two masses to the east of where the Battle Frontier is would be accessible via the Ferry and would serve as the game's final boon to players.
Ideas for post-game content?

  • Sub-plot involving the Legendary Dogs, as well as Lugia and Ho-Oh. Being as to there is no way of obtaining these five Legendaries in B2/W2 without transferring, or X & Y, it would stand to reason that they be obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in a similar fashion to the Legendary Birds in X & Y. If you obtain all three Dogs in OR, you gain access to a special area to capture Ho-Oh. In AS, you do not receive Ho-Oh, but instead gain access to an area to capture Lugia if you transfer the Kalos-caught Legendary Birds from X & Y.
  • Mega Stone sub-plot heavily involving Steven Stone. After becoming Champion, you receive a message from Steven on your PokeNav about Mega Stones and asks you to come to his home in Mossdeep City so that you can help him test something out. Upon arriving, Steven explains that he's been working on an upgrade for your PokeNav that will allow you to find Mega Stones during a certain time of day using a bit of crystal from the Anistar Sundial in Anistar City. Steven will send you out to find and collect various Mega Stones and give you the Metagrossite as a reward.
  • Rayquaza sub-plot involving the Mt. Pyre couple, Archie, and Maxie. After defeating Archie/Maxie and becoming Champion, you can return to Mt. Pyre to begin a quest to receive the Green Orb and access to the Sky Pillar and Rayquaza. When you return to the summit of Mt. Pyre, you'll witness Archie/Maxie apologize for stealing their respective orbs with the other boss accompanying them for moral support. The two will notice you and leave, after which the elder couple will explain the stones' deeper connection to Groudon and Kyogre and of a third stone that was lost to time, said to be connected to the Sky Dragon. The elders will suggest asking around Pacificlog Town for more information on the mysterious Green Orb. There, you will discover a Green Orb Shard and learn that four other pieces exist in the waters of Hoenn and must be collected to restore the Orb. Luckily, the shard pulsates when it is near another fragment, so all you have to do is Dive and play Hot/Cold. After collecting the shards, you must return to Mt. Pyre to have the elders reassemble it, granting you access to Sky Pillar.
  • Regi quartet sub-plot. Upon unlocking the chambers of the Regis in Hoenn, you will discover an interesting character the first time you enter one of their caves. Brandon, the Pyramid King of the Battle Frontier, will appear and offer a tip on how to unlock each chamber, claiming to have undergone a similar challenge in another region. After capturing all three, Brandon will tell you of a secret chamber hidden far beneath the Battle Pyramid that is said to harbor the slumbering master of the Regi trio. It is there that you can battle and capture Regigigas.
  • Landerus sub-plot. After becoming Champion, you'll receive word from the Weather Institute that strange weather phenomena are occurring sporadically throughout Hoenn. The cause, depending on your version, is Tornadus or Thundurus. Capture it, and transfer its counterpart over, and you'll be able to fight and capture Landerus.
  • Reshiram and Zekrom sub-plot. After becoming Champion and completing the Mega Stone sub-plot, you can talk to Steven again to gain information on a mysterious stone said to harbor a Dragon Pokemon. This sub-plot can only occur if you've completed the Hoenn PokeDex. Steven says that the stone will only activate in the hands of one with "electrifying ideals" or one with "burning truth" in their heart. He then hands you the stone and suggests taking it to a special location on Mt. Meteor. At this location, the stone begins to react and transforms into the Legendary Reshiram or Zekrom, depending on the version, and you can then proceed to battle and capture them.
  • May/Brendan "I Wanna Be The Best" sub-plot. After becoming Champion, you will find May/Brendan at Professor Birch's Lab in Littleroot Town. If you speak with them, they will voice their regret for not trying as hard as you did on your journey and suggests you two have a battle. Your rival will finally have the last stage of their Starter and even use its Mega Stone in battle. After defeating them, your rival will leave Littleroot in an effort to train and become stronger. You can then find them on Route 103, Rustboro City, Route 110, Route 119, and outside the Lilycove Dept. Store once a day and battle a slightly stronger version of their team. If you manage to beat them at each location, they will commend your insurmountable power and give you a Treeko/Torchic/Mudkip holding its Mega Stone. You can then rebattle May/Brendan at the Lab once a day.
  • Deoxys sub-plot. Paying homage to an old rumor about Deoxys, if the player has a special Key Item and takes it to the Mossdeep City Space Center, it will trigger an event in which the Player briefly enters the rocket ship to combat a hostile "space virus". This virus turns out to be a Deoxys which you must either defeat or capture to save the Space Center's rocket.
  • Wally "I'm Going to be a Battle Frontier Champ!" sub-plot. Upon arrival at the Battle Frontier, you will be confronted by Wally. He will state that he has been training and improving himself since your last encounter and challenge you to a battle. Upon defeating him, Wally will compliment your skill, but suggest that it won't be enough to collect the Gold Symbols from each Frontier Brain. He will then challenge you to a contest to see who can collect the most Gold Symbols. This is an on-going sub-plot and yields rare rewards from Wally for each new Symbol you collect, with the final prize being a Hidden Ability Ralts with the Galladite.
  • Juan "Contest Champion" sub-plot. Throughout the game, you will notice the familiar Contest Halls of Gen III, but they will be inaccessible until the post-game. You will still be able to make PokeBlock, no worries. But, once you become Champion, the Halls will be open to contestants. Juan, the 8th Gym Leader from Emerald, will introduce himself to you when you first enter a Contest Hall and commend you for your achievements, saying that winning a couple of contests should be a breeze for someone like you. He'll suggest that the two of you are rivals of sorts and that he looks forward to seeing you perform. As you collect Ribbons and move up in the ranks of Contests, you'll notice Juan making more and more appearances and even competing against you. After you've collected every Master Rank Contest Ribbon, Juan will challenge you to a Pokemon Battle and award you with the Miloticite for your accomplishments.

Salzorrah May 11th, 2014 3:16 AM

Who will be the protagonists?

May and Brendan! But you can customize their clothes, hairstyles, hats, just like in X and Y.

What role will Wally play?

Most likely the Protagonist's main rival.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Juan is the Sootopolis Gym Leader, Wallace is like a boss for the Contest challenge, Steven retains his position as Champion.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

Most probably, yes.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

Probably the same as in Emerald, as a wandering scout :3

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

A mediator between Mega Groudon (OR) or Mega Kyogre (AS).

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?


Mega Kyogre | Water/Flying | Eternal Drizzle | A new move called Typhoon
Mega Groudon | Fire/Ground | Eternal Drought | A new move called Famine

Mega Kyogre will expand the sea like in Sapphire in AS, while Mega Groudon does the opposite in OR.

Possibly you need the Mega Stone and the respective orb to activate its Mega Evolution.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

Most Probably the same as Ruby and Sapphire's list along with other version exclusives in Gen 4 - 6

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?


Yes.

Cross-Generational Gen 3 Families will be in it (eg Froslass, Roserade, etc.) and Mega Evos will be in it. Majority of Gen 5 and 6 might not appear.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

Mega Kyogre, Mega Groudon, Mega Rayquaza Alpha, Mega Rayquaza Omega, Mega Gallade, Mega Sableye, Mega Metagross, Mega Swampert, Mega Sceptile, Mega Blaziken Alpha or Omega (depending which current Mega Blaziken is Alpha or Omega)

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

Either Granite Cave or Meteor Falls or a new place perhaps.

New areas to be introduced?

Islands to the southwest of Pacifidlog, Ever Grande City (that is ACTUALLY a city), an improvement to New Mauville.

Ideas for post-game content?

Battle Frontier! And rematch with gym leaders, E4, etc.

blue May 11th, 2014 3:30 AM

Who will be the protagonists?

Brendan/May as in the original Ruby & Sapphire.

What role will Wally play?

He will most likely play a similar role to the original games in which he captures his first Pokémon with you and battles you throughout your journey. Perhaps in these games you can battle him more frequently and him also having a heavy involvement with Mega Evolutions assuming they're back.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Juan as 8th Gym Leader, Wallace as Champion and Steven as the Ultimate trainer. If Juan doesn't take the place at 8th Gym Leader then I'd suggest he would be involved with the contests.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

The only addition they could make is returning Elite Four rematches.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

Same as RSE. I'd also link him with having a strong knowledge of the Mega Evolutions in which he introduces to you at some stage of the games.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

The same as the originals, calming the dispute between Kyogre & Groudon. I don't think they will change/alter the role of Rayquaza at all.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think

— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

Kyogre - Water/Ice with a signature move involving Heavy Rain.
Groudon - Fire/Ground with a move involving Solar Activity.

As for the Megastones, perhaps they could change the appearence of the Red/Blue Orbs slightly which incorporates the Mega Evolution mechanic.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

The same as the original Ruby & Sapphire with a few post-storyline additions from different Regions.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

If so they will probably only be available after the Champion has been won. Probably the generic Pokémon i.e Starly Line, Mareep Line, Elemental Monkeys, Fletchling Line, Honedge Line and more from the remaining Regions.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

I'd like to see the following five receive Mega Evolutions:

1) Milotic
2) Salamence
3) Metagross
4) Sableye
5) Flygon

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

Areas that are only accessible post-storyline i.e Altering Cave, Battle Frontier etc.

New areas to be introduced?

Expansion of the Southern Island and perhaps exploring the "undiscovered" Islands that are situated South of the Region.

Ideas for post-game content?
Mini-games
Battle Frontier facility updates
Elite Four Rematches
Mega Evolution stones
More Trick House Puzzles
Gym Leader Rematches (Triple/Rotation/Sky)
Perhaps cameos of characters from different regions on specific days of the week.

Taiji Dragon May 11th, 2014 4:31 AM

Who will be the protagonists?

Brendan and May. They will also be customisable.

What role will Wally play?

The same he did in Ruby and Sapphire. He will start as a sick boy under his uncle overprotective care. You will help him capture his signature pokemon, Ralts. He will gradually overcome his sickness as he bonds with his pokemon and travel. He sees that he is capable of traveling and challenging gyms so after a while he convinces his uncle to not worry and to let him go. To us he will be a rival like Brendan or May and we will battle him various times in the game's stroy. The last time being in Victory Road. However we will be able to rechallange him somwhere in the game. Most likely Battle Frontier.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Wallace will be Sotopolis' gym leader and Steven will be the champion. Juan will most likely make a cameo appearance like Eusine did in HG/SS.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

I'd say yes. The addition of Mega stones will likely happen. Some teams might be change

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

Yes he will return filling the role he did in emerald in battle frontier

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

It's role will be to be unlocked in the post game after you have captured your own mascot and traded for the opposite one. It will be awakened by the renamed green orb that is handed down by steven after you show him both Groudon and Kyogre. It will just be captured.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Groudon will be retyped as Ground/ Fire and Kyogre will remain a water type. They might recieve enhanced versions of Drizzle and Drought. Where each will have permanent effects and will boost fire and water type moves. The weather cannot be changed by any other moves. However if both are present. The weather will alternate between them. It will say it's raining and it's sunny at the same time. Each will only recieve the benefit of the weather regardless of the opposite weather's effect. In addition to eruption and water spout they will have access to moves like Solarbeam and Thunder. It is likely that they get new moves but I can't tell. Maybe a powerful Water and Fire type move that will also conveniently recieve boost from the weather and stab.


their roles in the games will be?

Their roles will be like in Ruby and Sapphire with an interesting plot twist reguarding their transformation. They will awaken from the seafloor cavern and escape to the cave of origin where they will be battled. Groudon will cause the sea level to drop and will leave rock formations as he travels to the cave of origin. Kyogre will raise the sea level and will create thunderstorms.

of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

The Red and Blue orbs will be key items for a while but will transform into held items after an event. The items will be known as Omega Stone and Alpha Stone.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

Zangoose/Seviper
Solrock/Lunatone
Seedot/ Loatad

And the likes.


Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

Yes probably as something similar like Sinnoh and Hoenn sounds. More likely to be places that you visit after the post game.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

Regigigas will make an appearance that's for sure. About others I can't tell. We will have gen 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 pokemon but only a selected few.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

If they were to introduce mega evolutions Metagross and Salamance will definetly get them.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

In routes and places. Some NPC will give them to you. Salamance's stone will be found in Meteor Falls and Steven will give you a Beldum holding Metagronite.

New areas to be introduced?

Regigigas chamber, hopefully a region like sevii islands after the story and a few places where we can catch past gen pokemon. I can't tell since I have no insight on these things. There will be an area in mount chimney were you can catch Heatran.

Ideas for post-game content?

Another smaller region to explore, Battle Frontier, catching Rayquaza and activating it's new forme. Vs Seeker hopefully. Elite Four at a higher level. A plot related to Kalos.

The Doctor May 11th, 2014 5:21 AM

Who will be the protagonists? Brendan and May WITH the oppurtunity to customize
What role will Wally play? Same role as before, Rival alongside May
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill? I think Juan might be the leader of the water gym in OMEGARUBY and Wallace will be the leader of the water gym in AQUASAPPHIRE, I think Steven will be the champion.
Will there be any other League-related changes? I think they will update some of the gym leader's and leagues teams to include newer evolutions
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as? He'll be back to do the Battle Frontier thingy again, that would be nice, I liked Scott.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be? I think he'll just be availiable to catch just like in Emerald, but not play a main part in the story.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be? I think they'll keep their abilities, I think Kyogre might change to Water/Steel and no idea, probably get new moves
— their roles in the games will be? The same as Ruby and Saph
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else? I think they'll have seperate mega stones, the red and blue orbs are used to keep them peaceful, not evolve them, that's the opposite of their purpose.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be? Probably the same as last time
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? I hope not
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced? Mega Shiftry, Mega Breloom, Mega Metagross, Mega Swampert, Mega Sceptile, Mega Probopass
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden? I can see them being hidden all over the place
New areas to be introduced? Update some of the towns to look a bit more modern but um, no I think it'll stay the same.
Ideas for post-game content? Make a better post-game, I know Battle Frontier but like, add another Looker plot (rolls eyes) or whatever

heydudeitsmeblastoise May 11th, 2014 5:52 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
may and brendan of course..

What role will Wally play?
your rival... i suggest that you get more battles than may

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
i suggest that steven will be the champ and the event of emerald where you will talk to wallace in the cave of origin is present (of course rayquaza will stop the fight of both of them but sadly uncatchable). and then when you face the sotoopolis gym, he's the gym leader (i think juan is not
suited to be the sotoopolis gym leader)

Will there be any other League-related changes?
of course not... still the same but the champ is steven but if wallace its ok too

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
yes but he'll be like a manager or whatever you call it in the battle frontier

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
the stopper of the fight but uncatchable (i hope its not)

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
lets say in the story when they faced in sotoopolis they'll activate it in their own or team aqua or team magma does it and then rayquaza descends and activate it on his own too (that was epic right)

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
well of course but in the case of gamefreak they'll put few in it

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
many of course i hope mega camerupt for flannery, mega slaking for norman, mega altaria for winona, mega claydol/solrock for tate and liz and, mega crawdaunt for wallace or juan and mega metagross for steven/mega milotic for wallace!

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
some where else like caves, secret islands and underground or underwter caverns
New areas to be introduced?
except for birth,faraway and navel rock they'll put islands for legandary pokemons too for events! i hope zeckrom and reshiram or victini or maybe yvetal or xerneas!!

Ideas for post-game content?

Nomine May 11th, 2014 7:09 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May.

What role will Wally play?
The same role he did in the original Ruby and Sapphire—the tritagonist. He's considered to be the third most important character regarding the story line, with the hero being the protagonist (first most important) and the rival being the deuteragonist (second most important).

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I do not think that Juan will return as the Sootopolis Gym Leader. I believe Wallace will reassume that role. Steven will repossess his title as the Hoenn League Champion.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Aesthetically, yes. Each Elite Four room will be remodeled in some way. I do not think that the Elite Four will be structured similarly to Kalos's or Unova's Pokémon Leagues. It will return to the original system.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I believe Scott will return, as the only reason he was introduced in Emerald was because of the Battle Frontier. It's very possible that the Battle Frontier will return in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, therefore Scott will also return as a recruiter of some sort.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
To act as a mediator between Groudon and Kyogre. It will be captured later on at level 70.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think...
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Kyogre will retain its Water typing. Groudon will take on another typing (not Fire) in addition to Ground. They will gain augmented versions of their abilities, Drizzle and Drought, if not stay the same. Perhaps new Water/Ground type moves for the both of them?

— their roles in the games will be?
As with the original Ruby and Sapphire, Groudon will expand the continents/landmass and Kyogre will expand the oceans. The two will clash, causing Rayquaza to calm down the pair.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
The Orbs already have a powerful connection to the two Pokémon. It's logical to make the Orbs have two roles: to control the two Legendaries and to incite their Megaevolutions.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Omega Ruby- Seedot and its evolutions, Mawile (and its Megaevolution), Zangoose, Solrock, Groudon
Alpha Sapphire- Lotad and its evolutions, Sableye, Seviper, Lunatone, Kyogre


Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

I don't see why not. Most of these Pokémon would only be available post-game. Only the common Pokémon from these Generations (i.e. Starly and its evolutions, etc.) will be included before the National Dex is obtained.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Swampert, Sceptile, Shiftry, Swellow, Exploud, Hariyama, Sharpedo, Camerupt, Torkoal, Flygon/Salamence/Altaria, Zangoose/Seviper, Crawdaunt, Cradily/Armaldo, Metagross, Groudon/Kyogre, Rayquaza (two new forms)

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
All over Hoenn. Ask certain NPCs and rivals for them, find them hidden in the ground with the Itemfinder, underneath the ocean (using Dive), etc.

New areas to be introduced?
Battle Frontier (similar to Emerald). Not much else.

Ideas for post-game content?
Backstory to the legends of Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza. More action with the Regis and Regigigas. Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be battled again in a different location after contact through the Pokénav (a location similar to the Fighting Dojo in HG/SS and the Battleground in Platinum).

タイラー May 11th, 2014 7:50 AM

Who will be the protagonists? Its a remake, so May and Brendan, although customization may be in order
What role will Wally play?Probably the same as the original, may a bit m or maybe a bit less
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?Because its a ruby sapphire remake, I think Juan will either be a random character or a verson exclusive gym leader with wallace and steven will be champ
Will there be any other League-related changes?Maybe some touched up gym leaders and e4 and maybe some new gym leaders
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as? If there is the battle frontier than yes as the role he did in emerald, but if not then he probably wont exist.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be? Unless there is an emerald remake, I think he will just be a random legend that you can catch
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will becom?(<Typo) Im no expert at moves but I think the best moves in their typing.
— their roles in the games will be? The same as the ogs, The teams are trying to control them and then you fighting them.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else? I think something else because the orbs are made to awaken them.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be? Lol I think the same as the originals.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? No, but maybe there will be a place like the sevii islands were the newer pokemon will be found.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

Ideas for post-game content? Possible some more legends to catch, and places to explore

Pepperton May 11th, 2014 9:12 AM

Who will be the protagonists? Brendan and May, same as the originals.

What role will Wally play? A similar role. His back story will be developed a little more; maybe even with a few cut-scenes and special events. You'll have to battle him a handful of times, and his final team will contain six pokemon.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill? I think they're going to revert back to the old way of Steven as the champion, but instead of just Wallace as the gym leader, the final gym's leaders are both Juan and Wallace in a rotation battle.

Will there be any other League-related changes? I hope not! Hoenn's elite four are my favorite group of trainers.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as? Yes, as a guide to the player in helping them through the story, and towards the end, introduce them to the Battle Frontier.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be? Rayquaza will be able to be caught after defeating the champion, and I have a feeling there'll be a new event with the trio of Hoenn legendaries together post-game.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
I see Groudon as Fire/Ground and Kyogre remaining a pure Water type.
— their roles in the games will be? They will most likely be affecting the actions of Team Magma/Aqua and be of severe importance for the player to catch them.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else? It would make a lot of sense to make the Orbs their Megastones, so yes, I think that's what they'll do.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be? Same as it was in the original RSE games.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? No, but they will be available to find once entering the post-game.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced? Right now, I think Swampert and Sceptile are awarded mega forms, as well as Flygon, Camerupt, Slaking, Hariyama, and Sharpedo.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden? Places that can't be accessed until the champion has been defeated; possibly in a new area of Hoenn.

New areas to be introduced? I could see them adding an island that is available to visit post-game from the Battle Frontier, with Gen IV, V and VI pokemon in the wild.

Ideas for post-game content? The Battle Frontier will come back but with the same amount of events as was introduced in Emerald. I mentioned earlier that a new island may be introduced to create a way for players to catch Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos-native pokemon.

Tetra May 11th, 2014 9:19 AM

Who will be the protagonists?

May and Brendan. I don't see the point of changing them; they are full remakes of the original R/S after all. But I do expect to see a little customization.

What role will Wally play?

Most likely the same in the original. They could spice up his team though, and give him another battle post-game. He definitely needed a better story, as he just disappears to another region in the post-game. Let's hope that doesn't happen this time.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Steven will be the champion, no doubt. This is not Emerald, but Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. I can see Juan being the eighth Gym Leader though. They do add implement some features from further games, similar to how the Suicune plot existed in HG/SS, while it didn't in G/S.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

Not really. I'd only think they would change up the league if it was a sequel. As for the Pokémon, yeah most likely they'll get a change. Come on, Glacia and Phoebe had 2x of the same Pokémon! They need to add some more interesting and unique Pokémon to their teams. I can see a Froslass going on Glacia's team, aswell as Phoebe's.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

Probably. Like I said before, they do implement features from Emerald too. He'll probably be the same as he was in Emerald, no different. I can't think of him doing something else.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

He'll stop Kyogre/Groudon from wrecking Sootopolis City and Hoenn, and will probably have a mini-story or something like that explaining the glowing stuff on Kyogre/Groudon. Hopefully he gets a powerup or a mega-evolution of some sort.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think

I don't mind. They are already good as they are, but a boost could definitely help in spicing up the story. Then it would definitely make it more interesting!

— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Groudon will probably become Fire/Ground. I think this because he has lava glowing on its tail (or atleast that's what it looks like), so that would make sense. They could also make Kyogre Water/Dark and give him a signature move called something like Harsh Storm? I suck at naming moves lol. Their abilities can stay the same because their abilities are fine as they are. They can't get better ones. Drought will too support Mega Groudon even further.

— their roles in the games will be?

It'll all be probably the same until Maxie/Archie awakens one, which then they wake up, escape and that cutscene starts. They'll probably get the powerup/mega evolution after that, and then the fight will commence. It won't be too different from R/S, but I can see Gamefreak giving it a little change to make it more interesting.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

Either Alpha Orb or Omega Orb. If not that, then Red/Blue. I don't see them giving them nites, but they could potentially do that.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

The same as the original. They'll add some new Pokémon then and there, and make them exclusives, for example Swirlix and Spritzee could make a return. Spritzee in Omega Ruby and Swirlix in Alpha Sapphire.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

Yeah. Like I said previously, we will probably see new Pokémon in Hoenn to give it more variety. Why would they make it exactly the same? So yeah, I can definitely see some change of sort of the wild Pokémon.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

They'll probably add some previous generation Pokémon that weren't available then, and some 4/5/6 mon that you'd probably think that would go there. For example. I'd like to see Bergmite in Shoal Cave, and Riolu in Granite Cave.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

Well... let's see here. Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza all seem to most likely getting mega evolutions since they mentioned "mega shinka" on the show last night, when Kyogre/Groudon were being shown. I'd like to see [email protected] be introduced in this game too, and I'd love to see Mega Sableye and Mega Cacturne. <3

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

They could be held alongside them when you capture them, for the legendaries? And as for the other ones, we'll probably see them scattered around where you catch the base formes, and the gyms. Like Sablenite in Granite Cave.

New areas to be introduced?

I don't see anything new except for the Battle Frontier. They won't introduce too many new things in a remake, as they want to keep it most likely as nostalgic as possible. So no.

Ideas for post-game content?

I'd love the Gym Leader rematches from Emerald to be in these games. They were so fun to do! I can also see some sort of missions, and possibly new Pokémon to find in the wild and catch.

<3

wakachamo May 11th, 2014 10:13 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Revised versions of Brendan and May. Customisable outfits.

What role will Wally play?
Same role as before, perhaps some extra chatter about Mega Evolution stones due to his Gardevoir.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan is the 8th Gym Leader, Wallace is the champion, and Steven will play a slightly more substantial role in occasionally interacting with the trainer.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Perhaps the idea of tackling them in an arbitrary order. Other than that, nah.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Sure. Same as before, to introduce the trainer to the Battle Frontier.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Same as before, with a Mega twist mixed in.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Fire/Ground and Water/Ice??? (I have no knowledge of abilities or moves, I'm terrible at the metagame ): )

— their roles in the games will be?
Same as before. Token legendaries of Hoenn. Slightly angrier this time in their Mega forms.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Red/Blue Orbs will remain as such in the beginning, and later be revealed to be Groudonite and Kyogreite. (Or Kyogrite??? idk)

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Same as Gen 3 with a bunch of extra legendaries thrown in. Perhaps Lugia/Palkia in Ruby and Ho-Oh/Dialga in Sapphire?

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

Hoenn Starters, Hoenn legendary trio, maybe some random one like Tropius or something lol

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Given to you or near the legendaries themselves.

New areas to be introduced?
Sevii Islands please please please

Ideas for post-game content?
Battle Frontier and Sevii Islands. That'll be it.

Areas of Speculation
Who will be the protagonists?
May and Brendan with minor adjustments to their outfits and no customization.
What role will Wally play?
The same role he played in the originals. A sick boy who you help catch his first Pokemon and who battles you a few times.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Wallace will retain his Gym Leader role from RS will Steven retaining his Champion role. Juan will not exist in the game as he was not a factor in the originals.

LiquidForce May 11th, 2014 10:47 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May.
What role will Wally play?
A rival, like in RSE.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Wallace; 8th gym leader, Steven; Champion, Juan; Not in game.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
I don't think so, maybe other Pokémon and other level.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Yes, I think just like in RSE
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
The same as in RSE but he'll also get a Mega-Stone.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Types: The same.
Abilities: Maybe the same but more powerful and with another name, idk.
Signature moves: Kyogre; Something with a huge wave. Groudon; Something with a lava eruption.
— their roles in the games will be?
The same as in RSE.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
I think someone will find out that the orbs are their Mega-Stones.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Groudon for Ruby and Kyogre for Sapphire. And Latios and Latias I think.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

I think they'll all be available in wild but realistic and not too much. So there won't be any Arceus wandering in the tall grass.

Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza and the starters. Maybe another generation starters too, like Johto.
Or some other strong Hoenn Pokémon.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Legendaries: Given to you by npc's.
Normal Pokémon: Just like the Mega-Stones for Houndoom and such in XY.
Spread around the region.

Sonata May 11th, 2014 11:25 AM

Who will be the protagonists? May and Brendan as it should be but with cuztomizable wardrobes.

What role will Wally play? The same as he did before, a sub rival.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill? Juan has no role, Wallace will be Champion and Steven will play some extra role that the remake creates as well as a challenge for those who beat the Elite 4.

Will there be any other League-related changes? Different Pokemon and a chance of retaking the league challenge with their pokemon beefed up and changed to incorporate the National Dex.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as? The same as he played in Emerald.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be? A really big cutscene.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Groudon- Fire/Ground, Drought or Pressure, Eruption Earth Power or a new move that creates earth ie a spike, pillar or something else also for use outside of battle because it would affect the map

Kyogre- Water/Flying or Electric, Drizzle or Pressure or Swift Swim, Water Spout or a new move that creates more water, more for use outside of battle rather than in it as it would affect the map

— their roles in the games will be? The same as in the originals

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else? The orbs crack and you have to get the green orb and Rayquaza in order to create new orbs for them which tame them and make them mega evolve.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be? Latios/Latias, Mega pokemon, Absol, Shiftry/Ludicolo, Kyogre/Groudon, same as originals

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? Yes, version exclusive and to an extent, no starters or legendaries obviously except maybe Regigigas, but most basic pokemon

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced? Starters, Legendaries, Slaking, Walrein, Metagross

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden? In labs spewed across the land or found by doing side quests for random citizens, earned by gaining points in the battle frontier

New areas to be introduced? Something like the sevii islands in FR/LG to house the gen IV-VI pokemon that can be found in game.

Ideas for post-game content? Battle Frontier, hunting down team magma/aqua members to completely eradicate them, side quests, pokemon dressup, earning clothing, pokemon contests

-Jared- May 11th, 2014 12:00 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan/May. There anmes are likely to stay the same since they were the first "traditionally" named protagonists of the series.

What role will Wally play?
Wally should have his same role, but he will definitely have a Mega Gardevoir. Or potentially a Gallade.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Steven will probably introduce Mega Stones to the player. It's kind of his shtick. He should pretty much still be the champion. I think he was in the PWT, right? Therefore, Wallace will still be the Gym Leader of Sootopolis. Juan could have a smaller role, just so as not to totally ignore him.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Likely just challenging them in any order. Hopefully some rematches with upgraded teams.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
He'll give you the VS Seeker and introduce you to the post-game content.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
He might be the one to activate the Red and Blue obs as mega stones.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

First off I don't necessarily think there will be new moves, since they would have to patch XY to include them, on top of patching XY for new megas. But if they do:
Groudon: Fire/Ground:
Ability: Searing Heat: Permanant Sunny Day.
New exclusive move: Evaporate; Deals Super Effective Damage to Water Types.

Kyogre: Water/Flying
Ability: Downpour: Permanent Rainstorm
New exclusive move: Flood: Field effect, lasts five turns, waters types speed and special attack boosted one stage each.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Same as the originals, but horde battles could be implemented to allow rare encounters with your opposite versions exclusives.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

Specifically anything related to Gen III pokemon for sure, as in Budew/Roserade, Gallade, Dusknoir, for sure. As for the rest, maybe as post game content.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Starters, title legends, Sableye, Mightyena possibly. My BIGGEST HOPE is that since in Emerald you could get Johto starters after completing the pokedex, is that they incorporate that, similar to how you get the Kanto starters in XY, along side with mega evolutions.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
If they reuse mega stones from XY, Manectrite in New Mauville for sure. Banetite in Mt. Pyre. Any new mega stones will be scattered around. Sableye in the cave next to Dewford. Mightyena in the ashen forest south of the volcano.

New areas to be introduced?
Friend Safari, potentially on one of the unused islands.

Ideas for post-game content?
Battle Frontier, Rayquaza going berserk, [email protected] roaming and Team Magma/Aqua (whichever doesn't fight you) trying to obtain it for power.

Venitardus May 11th, 2014 12:04 PM

Who will be the protagonist?
Brendon and/or May obviously. They'll have an updated design from the originals I would think.

What role will Wally play?
I think Wally will probably be the same as in R/S/E, but hopefully reacurring multiple times to help/battle the main protagonist.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I think Wallace will be the sootopolace gym leader, Steven will resume the champian and maybe Juan will be an extra character maybe.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
I would like to think that the league will be the same way as before, but the second time around they all would use a mega (maybe) and maybe if they add like another new section to the map, maybe seeing one of the E4 members there.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I can see him making a return. He can be like the Safari Zone warden from HG/SS. And he can give us the ticket to the battle frontier again.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
I think he'll be in the cutscene calming down groudon/Kyogre .

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
• Mega Groudon: Ground/Electric type, Storm sun ability (All opponets have a 50% chance of getting paralyzed when sent out. All allies have a .5 increase to their attack.) Signature move: electric burst
• Mega Kyogre: Water/Fire type, Fire Storm ability (All opponents have a 50% chance of getting burned. Allies get a .5 increase in their special attack) signature move: Fire wave

— their roles in the games will be?
The same, but with team Magma/aqua tryinng to awaken them with their full power and use them to take over the world.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
I don't think so. I think they will have an actual mega stone and have the red/blue orbs to wake them up. Unless there is more to the red and blurs orbs than meets the eye, them I can see them being the mega stones.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Other then the old version exclusives, I can see Grimer and Koffing, oddish and budew, if they implement some fairy types I can see spritzee and swirlix, and illumese and volbeat.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
I can see in the post game there being some, but I don't know about the main game.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Most of the Pokémon that aren't obtainable in X/Y.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
- Sceptile, Swampert, Pelliper, zangoose, Seviper, Beautifly/Dustox, Cacturn, Kecleon, Milotic, Metagross, Salamence, the three regi's, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Just around the region. Like in the desert, caves and custody road. I can also see some being in the petalburg woods.

New areas to be introduced?
Maybe the islands that we never got to visit in the originals around the frontier and where Rayquaza was found.
Maybe some new island/area in the big water routes.

Ideas for post-game content?
Battle Frontier will more then likely make a return. I hope they something else like how they did in FR and LG with the sevi islands

tImE May 11th, 2014 12:19 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
New characters based on Brendan & May, similar to how Ethan & Lyra aren't Gold and Kris, but rather refurbished version of themselves, but it's also likely the customizable player will be carried over from XY, but even so, the "Vanilla version" aka Calem and Serena in XY, will be Brendan and May.

What role will Wally play?
Probably a similar role as he did in the original RSE, but with hopefully more content, like the Kimono girls in GSC vs HGSS and maybe teaching the player how contests work!

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I think Juan and Wallace may have the same role as Iris and Drayden in BW, where the Gym-Leader changes with the version of the game.
Steven reprising his role as Champion and recurring character.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
It's possible, but unlikely, however I do expect seeing new backstories or cameos from the E4 during the game!

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I think he may make a return with a Tutorial/Guide role, helping direct the player as to where to go to next, while still keeping his "I'm keeping an eye on you, you have potential, kid!"-role.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
I don't think a whole lot will change from the way it was in Emerald, except with maybe more foreshadowing as to his existence, considering he was sort of an easter egg in RS, and just slapped into the story in Emerald. (I'm also hoping for a Rayquaza Mega-Evo/New form!)

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
I think it's awesome that they receive new forms, it gives us old players of RSE, more "new content" to experience, since we've already been to Hoenn at least once before!

— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
I don't think their Drizzle or Drought abilites will change, but if they do, they will utilize the weather they create before they Mega-Evo/Change Form. Maybe like having Kyogre get Swift Swim and Groudon, Solar Power.
I think they'll get some new signature-moves too, probably being a 110-power STAB move with additional effect in strong light/rain.

— their roles in the games will be?
They will reprise their roles as the guardians of land and water, being utilized by Team Magma and Awua.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Their Mega-stone will probably be the Red/Blue Orbs, but will change name after discovery to Groudonite and Kyogrite.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Probably the same Pokémon that were exclusive in RS, except for the Post-game Pokémon.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Yes, but not until after the E4.
Game Freak is not known for expanding the Pokédexes in remakes.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Firstly, all Evolutions and Pre-Evolutions of old Pokémon, of course, but I think Shellos and Gastrodon will make returns, seeing as they were planned to be in RS, but got scrapped last-minute.
I also hope for Finneon and Lumineon, The Honedge-line and the Fletchling-line.
Seeing Hippopotas and Hippowdon in Route 111 would be awesome, too.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Since there is already a Blaziken one, Sceptile and Swamper are the obvious guesses.
But I'm also hoping for Exploud, Sharpedo, Camerupt, Tropius, Castform and Milotic Mega-Evos.
...And I'll be mad if Spinda doesn't get one. >:C

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Probably hidden in the gyms, like X & Y, but Tropiusite will probably be on R119, Castformite in the Weather Institute, Exploudite in Rusturf Tunnel or R116.
Absolite will probably be on R120 and Aggronite in Granite Cave.

New areas to be introduced?
Hopefully, a lot of the unexplored islands in the south-east of the Hoenn-region. Maybe even Faraway Island ;) *wink-wink*
But the area north of Rusturf Tunnel is also an excellent spot for new content!
Maybe even a revisit to the Sevii Islands?

Ideas for post-game content?
Battle Frontier will probably make a reprise.
I'd love for Deoxys to be catchable, non-event wise, with a little mini-quest.
I also think Altering Cave might make a return, working similar to the Friend-Safari.
But as said earlier: The islands in the south-eastern sea seems suspicious. :)

Mochika Rage May 11th, 2014 12:23 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May, of course. After all, they have stated that it will be a full remake, but I think that you will be able to customize them, too
.
What role will Wally play?
He will be your rival, and he will choose a starter with you. He would choose the one weaker to you, whereas May/Brendan would choose the stronger.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Steven will be the champion, Wallace will be the eighth gym leader, and Juan will either be nonexistant or someone fairly high up, in the Elite Four/Battle Frontier.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
There will be changes in aesthetics, but probably no more than I've mentioned.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I hope not, but he will probably return as his usual, annoying self.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
The same as in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, although he may have something to do with stopping the evil teams. I also think he'll have a mega evolution/new forme like Kyogre and Groudon.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think

— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Groudon would be Ground/Fire and Kyogre would be Water/Steel. No changes would be made for abilities, and they will keep their signature moves.

— their roles in the games will be?
The same as Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
They won't be the Red/Blue orbs, and they will be something to do with Alpha and Omega. This could come out of the Red/Blue orbs, though.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
All of the Pokémon with counterparts, like Plusle/Minun, Solrock/Lunatone, Zangoose/Seviper maybe, Latias/Latios, although there will be the Eon Ticket again, and obviously Groudon/Kyogre. There may be events where you can get the other counterpart.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
A few during the storyline, and there will be a place unlockable after the E4 where there will be many more.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
I'm not sure exactly, but definitely Magikarp/Gyrados, and most likely Pichu/Pikachu/Raichu. Also, there will be Gallade, unlike R/S.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Gallade, Latias, Latios (If not already), Zangoose, Seviper, Sableye, Cacturne, Metagross, and most likely the other two starters.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
The starters will be given to you when you complete the national Pokédex, whereas the others will be found around the region, mainly at postgame, as Mega Evolutions won't be as used in Hoenn.

New areas to be introduced?

The other islands in the south east.

Ideas for post-game content?
Something to do with said islands and the Battle Frontier.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as? Yes he will give you the news of a new facility no longer the battle frontier but a place like battle frontier but with more brains.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be? I believe Rayquaza will become a the pokemon to stop the two as neither one will be able to beat the other in battle because of their new abilities

Famon May 11th, 2014 1:15 PM

1)Who will be the protagonists?

Well , Its a complete remake So we can hope for redesigned Brenden & May to come back as protagonists . But HGSS had Lyra So there is chance that a new protagonist might be introduced in place of May or Brenden . I bet we can customize them too.
Also , We has 3 choice for the Male character & Female character.
Therefore , I believe there will be 3 different Brenden & 3 different May .
For example : Normal Brenden , Blond Brenden and tanned Brenden .
Same way , Normal may , Blond May & tanned May.

2)What role will Wally play?


Well , since its a remake , He will probably play his previous role . However I can see him having an expended role This time.
May be, He help the Player to fight Team Aqua & Team Magma as a Tag partner like Sliver.
We might see him at Battle frontier ! Also may be we will see him make up with his parent after running away from home

3)What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?


Well , They should assume their former position during original Ruby & Sapphire ! But the remake does not need to follow the original . Also Wallace going back as a Gym-leader after being introduce as a champion is bugging me.
I want Wallace to be the champion while Juan is a 8th Gym-leader.
And Steven as a stone collector who's interested in Mega-stone and searching for it . He give the Player a Mega stone. I believe he will have a Excadrill.
However we shouldn't ignore the idea of new champion like Norman Or a 17 year old Boy. Wallace could quit to focus more on Pokemon contest.
Plot Twist: ORAS might pull the same trick RBG & BW game did ! The Player reach Steven and beat him But it turn out that he already lose to Wallace So the player has to battle Wallace for the champion's title.
Or Steven might be champion at Omaga Ruby while Wallace might become champion in Alpha Sapphire.
4)Will there be any other League-related changes?

Well , I'm wishing Norman to be one of the E4 member specializing in Normal type . So the Pokemon League building & Battleground might change.
Also E4 member & Champion's team will change with them having gen IV , V & VI Pokemon.
If Steven is a champion them he will have a Mega Metagross Or any other steel type megevoltion . (Off course he will process mega evolution without being the champion)
If Wallace is the champion then he probably have mega Milotic Or any other Water type Megevolution. His team as a champion sucks so this time he will a real champion team.
Drake will probably have a Dragalge
I also believe this time we will get more insight about Hoenn E4 member . We don't know much about them . Also we might find more about Flannary's Grandfather.

5)Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

HGSS has Battle frontier So its stupid to think that ORAS won't have Battle frontier . So If ORAS has Battle frontier that Scott will appear to introduce the player to the Battle frontier.

6)What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?


Probably helping to calm down Kyogre & Groudon. But again , Omaga Rudy & Alpha Sapphire each probably will have different set of story like Rudy & Sapphire So I'm doubtful about Rayquaza playing any role here.
Player probably get to catch Rayquaza same way Calam/Serena can catch Zygarde

7)Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

We don't know Kyogre Or Groudon receive mega form or not , It might just be a new form.
If we assume it a mega form then Groudon probably be part fire type . As for Kyogre , Water/Flying suit it just fine .
As for their signature move , I think they might have a brand new signature move .
However, They already has mega ability so if they lose them upon megevolving then they should have an ability equally Or stronger as then their previous ability .
Red ord or Blue ord are use to simply summon Groudon & Kyogre . I don't think those orb suppose to be Mega-stone.

8)What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

Probably Latios and Latias , Plusle & Minun , Kyogre & Groudon

9)Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

May be but not to many.
New pokemon might get unlock after becoming a champion.
Well , I really can't say for sure .

10) What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?


Latios and Latias , Sceptile , Blaziken, Swampert, Milotic , Metagross ,Salamence , Camerupt, Walrein , Flygon, Shiftry , Glalie Exploud ,Armaldo , Crawdaunt , Altaria , Dusknoir, Deoxys , Mega Blaziken Alpha .
Jotho Starter , Sinnoh starter , Unova starter ,

11)Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?


Granite cave ,Abandoned ship , Meteor falls , MT chimney ,MY Pyre , Mossdeep town etc

12)New areas to be introduced?


Well There might be a new area but we have to wait until ORAS to release to see it.

13)Ideas for post-game content?

Battle Frontier
Catching new legendary Pokemon in a unlocked area.
New Contest
There probably a place to have rematch against gym-leader & other NPC like Battle cafe.
May be , Looker might appear to help the player and have a post game arc. we might find out how his pokemon died.
We will also see Team Aqua & Magma with new outfit.

Mew May 11th, 2014 1:31 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May, of course.
What role will Wally play?
Similar to Emerald.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Simalar to RS.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
Doubt it.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I don't know.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Same as RS.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Same as RS. If newer gen Pokés are in, it will be in order (ex. D will be in OR, Pe will be in AS)
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? Yep.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
No starters or mascots, not too many of them.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
[email protected], the other starters, possibly main trio.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
They'll be holding them, (the ones I listed are given or legendaries)
New areas to be introduced?
Nah. Maybe a small island or something to catch newer gen Pokémon?
Ideas for post-game content?
Mentioned island, friend safari, legendaries

Nillemi May 11th, 2014 1:50 PM

Who will be the protagonists?

Likely May and Brandon, I'm willing to bet there will be some degree of customization but not as much as in X and Y because they'll want to keep some aspects of their look.

What role will Wally play?

He will probably remain mostly the same, the only major difference I can foresee is When it comes time to obtain your mega ring where he will likely play a similar role as Serena did in X and Y. My guess is that he'll obtain his mega ring either at the same time as you or near the end of the game when he can use it to Mega evolve his Gardevoir.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Wallace will still be the Gym Leader while Steven will still be the Champion most likely, It's gonna be a remake so they wont change that much. Juan on the other hand, I think he'll be the Mega evolution master like Gurkinn was in X and Y. He seems to me like the very formal type of man who would handle this.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

Yes! Teams will almost certainly be switched up, Especially Phoebe's and Glacia's teams. There is no reason for Phoebe to not have a Duskinor on her team and with more ghost types available to choose from, I'd say one of her Banettes will likely be swapped out as well. Glacia's set up is even worse, Two Sealeos AND to Glalies, Not to mention she already has a Walrein. She could really use a Weavile or Lapras on her team, Keep one of the Sealeos and Glalies and toss the other. Sydney's team is fine I don't anticipate changes when it comes to his team. Drakes team will likely follow his Emerald team set up, Other than that his team is fine as well.

Aesthetically The challenge rooms will likely be changed up a bit, I'm personally looking forward to the Ice room. Finally I don't imagine there being many changes to Ever Grande City, But I hope there isn't, That place would look wonderful with updated graphics.


Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Yes I think Scott will return, My guess is he will still be the person who introduces you to the battle frontier.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

Likely the same as it was in RSE, Why would they change it too much if they're doing a Remake?

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?


Groudon I could see becoming Ground/Fire while Kyogre would be either Water Ice or Water/Dragon. Their Abilities will likely be the same as it's what they're known for. If they did change it however, Solar power for Groudon and Swift Swim for Kyogre, It' very fitting for them and since their weather is out they could benefit off of it immediately, It will likely remain the same Drought and Drizzle though.

— their roles in the games will be?

Just as in RSE, They'll be the main tools used by Team Aqua and Magma. I really don't think they'll change the main story too much.


— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Their Mega Stones will be the Red/Blue orb, it makes too much sense. Colorful orb shaped objects used to awaken the power of certain Pokemon? It's just too easy too pass up. After a Discussion with Juan or whoever the Mega Evolution Guru is in this game you'll discover that it's Actually Groudonite/Kyogreite.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

Seviper and Zangoose will Definitely still be exclusive, Lunatone and Solrock will likely be exclusive along with Lotad and Seedot as well. Mawile and Sableye however? I'm on the fence about them. Mawile recieved too many changes in X and Y to remain exclusive to ruby and it might be one of the few Fairy type Pokemon you could get in the game. I personally think they'll lose their exclusive status.

Oh, And of course Groudon and Kyogre will be exclusive, Along with their mega stones if they get a mega evolution.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?


During the main story? Likely not, I can see us being able to obtain some of the Trade items for Duskinor, Porygon z, Electivire and Pokemon like that but as for the main story routes that will be about it.

As for how you get IV-VI Gen pokemon, That will likely be through items like the Poke Radar or post game locations like the cave on the Battle Frontier island or the Friend Safari. (Yes, I predict the return of the Friend Safari.)

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Mega Airplane Ladi-Twins will definetly be released through this game. I would be willing to bet Swampert and Sceptile will get one as well, Its just too odd for one starter to have a mega while the other two don't, Especially when they currently have starter status.
While I dont Really think too many of the following would happen, I would love to see;
Mega Wailord
Mega Flygon (This is probably the most likely of the list.)
Mega Tropius
Mega Altaria

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

Mega Wailord would be underwater somewhere in the vast ocean of 3rd Gen, Or Shoal Cave.
Mega flygon would certainly be in the Desert, Possiably in the Sand Castle Mirage Tower.
Mega Tropius would be rather tricky, Although Ever Grande City would be a cool place to put it.
Mega Altaria would be in Meteor Falls.
The Mega starter stone will likely just be given to you.

Mega Groudon/Kyogre would be the Red/Blue orb that would be identified as the Mega stones after you catch them.

And the Mega Ladi-Twins? Mirage Islands.


New areas to be introduced?

This game will need something like the Tower of Mastery. After the Gigantic deal they made about inheriting a Mega Ring in Pokemon X and Y they can't have you just obtain it, That would be very inconsistent. They'll also need a location for the Friend safari area, Maybe they can put it on the battle frontier island.

Ideas for post-game content?

R/S/E in my opinion has the most Post-Game content of all the generations of Pokemon. For me to be happy, all they would have to add is the battle frontier, The Battle Pyramid was so much fun and I would love to do it again with current generation mechanics.

I hope pokemon Contests make a proper return, I know once you figured out what you were doing it was incredibly easy but I still enjoyed them. I was disappointed to see what they did with them in 4th generation and I HATED them in 5th gen. I really hope they remain the same.

Friend safari I believe will make a return as well as the Battle Institute.

And of course, probably the most hyped part of Gen 3 remakes, Secret bases. Hours will be spent on this for me.

I'm sure you can! If you end up winning then you could always decline, you won't be forced to take the prize since I'm sure they can always pick another winner. Although if you just want to speculate in general almost all the threads in this forum are about speculation. :)

Who will be the protagonists?
I don't see them changing the protagonists since the games are remakes and not sequels.

What role will Wally play?
It seemed like Wally had a lot of potential that he didn't get to fully explore in RSE. He appeared several times, and had a nice side story, but other than that he wasn't involved that much at halfway through the game. I think

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Since these games were stated to be "Ruby and Sapphire remakes" instead of "Generation 3" or "RSE remakes" I think that Wallace and Steven will take the roles of 8th Gym Leader and Champion, respectively. I would say double battle, however, we already have a double battle at the Mossdeep Gym and it would be rare to have 2 double-battle gyms in Hoenn and none anywhere else. I doubt that they will take Juan out of the game completely since he was pretty important in Emerald, so I suspect he will show up in Sootopolis City and I think we will be able to battle him & Wallace as a team at least once like we did with Flint & Volkner in DPPt.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
I suspect that the Champion will be given a Mega Evolution Pokemon - Steven will get Aggron and if they end up going with Wallace (which I suspect they won't) then he will get Gyarados, or a new Mega Milotic. I would say that the E4 would also get Megas, but in Kalos - the region of Mega Evolution - only the Champion had one.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Yes, since I strongly suspect that the Frontier will be making its return, I see no reason why - to many fans' dismay as I learned in this forum - Scott wouldn't. I imagine that he will play the same or less of a role than he did before, but I doubt he will do anything more.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Even though these are Ruby/Sapphire remakes, I think they will follow in HGSS's footsteps and incorporate more of Emerald's story. While whichever version you pick will follow a specific legendary more closely (or why else would there be 2 if they were just photocopies of Emerald?), I think that the two legends will face off in Sootopolis again and we will have to go get him.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions.
Mega Kyogre
Water/Dragon
Ability: Rainstorm (permanent Drizzle)
Move: Tsunami (a more powerful version of Surf) 8D

Mega Groudon
Ground/Fire
Ability: Firestorm (permanent Drought)
Move: Epicenter (a more powerful version of Earthquake)(I suck at naming sorry)

Honestly, their abilities don't seem like they need changing, since the whole idea around these two is that they can change the weather. I would be hesitant to make Mega Kyogre half Dragon, but since they got kind of nerfed it seems plausible now. I can see the Red/Blue Orbs because they don't really do a whole lot in the original other than wake up the legendary (and what legendary just has a stone that causes it to wake up?), so there must be some other connection between the Orbs and the legends. Maybe they are also just Mega Stones, but since, even in the Pokemon world Mega-Evos are a relatively new concept, they were just called Orbs since their true names were unknown.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Ruby- Seedot, Mawile, Zangoose, Solrock, Groudon, Latios, Cherubi, Spritzee
Sapphire- Lotad, Sableye, Seviper, Lunatone, Kyogre, Latias, Kricketot, Swirlix
Honestly there are so many Pokemon, and they seem to be somewhat random each generation, so I think that's the best I got lol.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Starters will obviously be excluded, but I think that they will include all the Pokemon that weren't obtainable in Kalos so that players will be able to catch all the Pokemon without transferring them from a previous generation. So it will be these evolutionary lines: Rattata, Meowth, Koffing, Porygon, Misdreavus, Unown, Stantler, Kricketot, Cherubi, Buneary, Glameow, Finneon, Cottonee, Darumaka, Yamask, Frilish, Tynamo, Elgyem. And obviously Slakoth, Baltoy, Feebas, Castform.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Mega Sceptile, Mega Swampert, Mega Milotic, Mega Groudon, Mega Kyogre, Mega Rayquaza. Also, Mega Plusle and Mega Minun because of the trademarked names. I don't think that they will include a ton more, since they even held off creating a ton in XY, but other than those we might see Mega Breloom, Mega Kecleon, Mega Mightyena.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
I imagine the old couple on Mt. Pyre will have or know the locations of the legendary Mega Stones (if they're not the Red/Blue orbs), and I can see an event with Steven happening with Mega [email protected] (technically not 'new' but I imagine that since they haven't even announced their existence officially they will be connected to ORAS somehow). The stones for Sceptile+Swampert will be distributed throughout an event like Blaziken's was, and the others will be found randomly throughout Hoenn. I don't see any specific locations in mind.

New areas to be introduced?
I think that we will be able to explore the islands that are on the map. I had assumed that they were the event-only islands, but the events weren't very accessible so this time around I think that they will be. I can also see us going to the Sevii Islands since they are still a big part of the games and we haven't seen them since FRLG (which I don't think they will be remaking for other reasons), although that might be kind of a long shot. I also really think Manaphy will make an appearance in an undersea cave somewhere in the ocean, but other than that or the random route change I don't think that they will add anything else significant.

Ideas for post-game content?
Definitely the Battle Frontier's return. It was really popular and well done in Emerald, and honestly it wouldn't be very smart to NOT bring it back. Honestly, Pokemon hasn't done a very good job with postgame lately, and I imagine if they put the BF in, they'll be like, "Alright, good enough!"

Vicktor Black May 11th, 2014 2:53 PM

Even though I more than likely won't win its still fun to speculate on things for just the suspense aloneof what is to come in the new games :)

Who will be the protagonists?

May and brendan but with new outfits for them like perhaps having a summer theme to their clothing

What role will Wally play?

Wally were do I start okay, He will be a gym leader that is also someone that plays a prominent role in getting mega evolutions

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I think Steven would be like cynthia as he travels the world and can be avaliable to battle as a post game event, and Wallace will be the pokemon champion but will be a companion through your journey, Juan will have become a traveller and may need some motivation to become a gym leader again.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

Some of the league pokemon may change to fit the new pokemon introduced in gen 6 and the champion may also be a different person altogether or the chmpion battle wont be just one but two people consisting off your rivals may/bredan and wally or a inverted battle with wallace

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

I think Scott would still be finding trainers for the battle frontier but also give you items for certain events in-game were you need an item to proceed and perhaps have a secret area within battle frontier were he is the true final frontier brain.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

In emerald he was to stop kyogre and groudon from fighting in sootopolis but in the upcoming games rayquaza may have to band together with kyogre and groundon to defeat the enemy

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Groundon would be fire/ground with the same ability drought and kyogre would be water/electric or water/dragon while still keeping the drizzle ability and their signature moves might be something like an equivalent type hyper beam.

their roles in the games will be?
One is awakened but it doesn't get away but is captured instead thus having to awaken the other legendary and battle the enemy to release the legendary in their grasp

of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Perhaps the red and blue orbs themselves won't become megastones for them but they may be needed to acquire said stones

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Like in regular ruby and sapphire it would be seviper and zangoose along with any of the new pokemon beyond 3rd gen but off in their own piece of the world to later be unlocked and those pokemon would be the honedge line, the fletchling line, litleo line for Omega Ruby and the skiddo line, inkay line, and the phantump line would be for Alpha Sapphire

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
yes like in firered the 2nd and 3rd gen were included so it would seem that the 4th 5th and 6th gen would be included as well

If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
most 6th gen pokemon would be included except for a few pokemon like hawlucha and maybe dedenne

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
latios and latias also groundon and kyogre and maybe a mega evo for rayquaza
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
the stones for latios and latias will be hidden on their islands while the stones for the legandaries would be hidden within the red and blue orbs themselves and the one for rayquaza may be hidden in an unlockable area and may be part of a sidequest
New areas to be introduced?

within the map there were a few islands left just out of reach perhaps these areas will be accessible when you beat the game and then their is the door that is blocked off in a house in moosdeep that may lead to a new world altogether where fairy types reside or it would lead to under the space station and you will enter a rocket to the moon

Ideas for post-game content?
later gen pokemon will be ready for catching in normal areas and a sidequest to gather the fossil pokemon and also new quests to unlock and maybe a second story in game.

Twiztedreamz May 11th, 2014 2:58 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and may
What role will Wally play?
Travelling to be in the e4
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Wally will join as a psychic trainer
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
He'll introduce the battle frontier
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
He will stop groudon and kyogre
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Groudon , Ground Fire , sandstream , more powerful version of earthquake (120 power)
Kyogre , water , drizzle , more powerful version of surf (however not as a HM) (120 power)
— their roles in the games will be?
Rampaging sootopolis
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Kyogreite and Groudonite

pastel_fallout May 11th, 2014 3:18 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
I think the protagonists will be May and Brendan, but with little tweaks to their outfits, etc. and being able to choose a different skin tone for racial equality purposes. The customizing aspect from X/Y may be in play to an extent, such as changing the color of the clothing and hair.
What role will Wally play?
I think Wally will play the same role as in R/S/E for the most part, maybe with the addition of, a) a Mega Gardevoir; B) If new islands are included in the remakes, he'd escort you to them, and; C) Being able to battle him once a day at his home in Verdanturf Town after the Elite Four is beaten, rather than several times a day in Victory Road.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I think Wallace and Steven will take on their original roles as in Ruby and Sapphire, with Juan being the powerful traveling trainer whom you can battle in Mossdeep after defeating the Elite Four. I think this because (at the time of writing this) there is no confirmed Emerald remake.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
I think that the league members will remain the same as they were in Ruby and Sapphire, though with some Pokémon team changes.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I think he may appear in the same way as Emerald if they include the Battle Frontier, otherwise, I don't think he'll make a prominent appearance. Maybe as a normal NPC if they don't include the Battle Frontier.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
I think Rayquaza will be the same as in Ruby and Sapphire rather than the same in Emerald, due to there being no announced Emerald remake (at the time of writing this). That said, he may receive a Mega Evolution.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Groudon: Groudon would get to be a Fire/Ground type, while gaining the Battle Armor ability and an increased Speed. Signature moves would be Flamethrower, Earthquake, Dragon Claw, and Sunny Day.
Kyogre: Kyogre would get to be a Water/Steel type, while gaining the Hydration ability, and an increased Defense. Signature moves would be Hydro Pump, Rain Dance, Thunder, and Iron Head.

— their roles in the games will be?
Same as in Ruby and Sapphire, each for their respective copies.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
I think the Red/Blue orbs may be renamed as mega stones, like Kyogite and Groudite, while keeping the same appearance as the red/blue orbs.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Groudon/Kyogre's Mega Stone's will automatically go to the player after they're caught, just like with Mewtwo in X/Y. The others however will be either given to the player by an NPC after a certain goal has been met, or found in the overworld.
New areas to be introduced?
Something like the Sevii islands with the extra islands seen on the Hoenn map.

It was already confirmed that ORAS is a remake of Ruby and Sapphire (and probably Emerald as well), so it's quite obvious that the protagonists are going to be Brendan/Landon and May. ^^
I really am hoping that they're gonna be the heroes, because I really wanna see Brendan/Landon in 3D, so I can clearly see that white hat he kept on wearing that made me believe that it was his hair. >.>

The...rival...?
And hopefully, since he just moved to Hoenn, then he'll probably be the one who'll introduce the Megavolution to the ORAS protagonist. Assuming that he's from Kalos~

As much as I hate to think about it, it's more likely that Juan will be the 8th gym leader, Wallace will be the Hoenn champion, and Steven will be a former champion that we can battle in the post-game, just like Red in Gold/Silver/Crystal/HG/SS... =/
edited (Aug. 28, 2014) : Now that I think about it, I think both Juan and Wallace will be the 8th Gym Leaders, but not at the same time. What I mean is that maybe in one version, Wallace is the 8th Gym Leader, while on the other version, it's Juan, just like Iris and Drayden on Black and White versions. And so, Steven will still be the region's champion.

I'd love for the Battle Frontier to return, so yes, Scott will return as the one who'll introduce the player about the Battle Frontier. ^^

Rayquaza will help in calming down the rampaging Groudon/Kyogre/both from destroying the region.

edit (June 11, 2014) : I think the Red and Blue Orbs will be the key for them to turn into their Primal Reversion forms.
edit (September 11, 2014) : Since their primal forms' abilities are known now, I speculate that Primal Groudon's [Strong Sunlight] ability will hurt other non-fire PKMN in the battlefield after every turn.

I would believe that they'll be available later in the game. Most probably after the League. The Gen 4-6 'mons will probably then start to appear around the region.

edit (June 13, 2014) : I think Gallade will have a Mega Evolution as well. Kinda unfair if only Gardevoir has one.
edit (July 3, 2014) : Rayquaza will get a Mega Evolution or a Primal Reversion. And maybe Skarmory will get a Mega Evolution as well.
edit (July 11, 2014) : Maybe Flygon and Milotic will have their Mega Evolutions.

Wally will most likely give you the Mega Stone depending on what your starter is. For the other stones, I think we can get them from NPC's since the stones are from Kalos after all.

Evening May 11th, 2014 5:30 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
The protagonists from the original pair, with redesigns probably.
What role will Wally play?
A rival of course. Like in the original pair, he might not appear that much, since it was announced that these are full-remakes.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan will be a nobody like in the original pair, Wallace as the Sootopolis City Gym leader, and Steven as the Champion of the Pokemon League.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
Redesigns of the rooms of course, maybe it will stick to the games prior to Black and White, and for the first time, when you beat the game, you'll be able to rechallenge them with new teams and higher levels.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
They're full-remakes, so Scott may not appear before post-game. Scott, as usual, will look for talented trainers for the Battle Frontier.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Probably the same as in Sootopolis City, it'll stop Kyogre and Groudon of course.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
If they were to receive Mega Evolutions, Groudon may be a Ground/Fire-Type and Kyogre may still be a Water-Type, to be honest, I don't see any more types available for Kyogre. The mascots of their respective games, they fight in Sootopolis City, and the game mascot will proceed to the Cave of Origin. The Red/Blue Orbs are used to control, so they say. I believe they will shatter and Mega Stones may be discovered within them, Kyogre and Groudon were said to be controlled by the orbs, but maybe, just maybe, they're not, they only want something within the orbs.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Omega Ruby:
Seedot
Nuzleaf
Shiftry
Mawile
Zangoose
Solrock
Groudon
Alpha Sapphire:
Lotad
Lombre
Ludicolo
Sableye
Seviper
Lunatone
Kyogre

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Probably, check out Heart Gold and Soul Silver for more information.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos Pokemon, excluding starters and legendary Pokemon, the games could use a few legendaries, however.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Mega Sceptile, Swampert, Sableye, Metagross, Milotic, Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza. We'd have too many if there were four-five more.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolution will be hidden?
Notable places such as the Abandoned Ship, Route 111 desert, Meteor Falls, Mt. Chimney, Scorched Slab, Mt. Pyre, Shoal Cave, Underwater, Seafloor Cavern, Sealed Chamber, Sootopolis City, Cave of Origin, Sky Pillar, Victory Road, possibly Terra Cave and Marine Cave, and possibly the new areas to be introduced.
New areas to be introduced?
New Areas within notable places, a place that makes me very curious, is Dewford Town, that inaccessible island on the north, and the Granite Cave, surely there's something more to them.
Ideas for post-game content?
Mega Stones in Hoenn, Battle Frontier, Legendaries from other generations, Jirachi, Deoxys, Latios and Latias, their Mega Stones, Gym and Pokemon League rematches, return of the Safari Zone, events relating to Kalos, new quests that will allow you to connect with games X and Y upon completion like in FireRed and LeafGreen. Ugh I can't think of more.

robxu9 May 11th, 2014 5:45 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
ユウキ and ハルカ (Brendan and May)
What role will Wally play?
Honestly? I think he'll play the same role as before. Maybe he'll get the rival theme too, but who knows how they'll change it up.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Unfortunately, I believe that they'll be basing it off the Emerald timeline, much like HeartGold and SoulSilver combined GS with the Crystal timeline. So Juan would be the 8th Gym Leader, Wallace would be the Champion, and Steven will be looking for rocks again.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
It's a remake... I'm doubtful.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I hope not. He seemed annoying.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Calming Kyogre and Groudon and negating the effects of the Red and Blue Orbs. So like Emerald.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Uhh... same as always?
— their roles in the games will be? Also same as always???
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else? Nah, they're probably the red and blue orbs. But I don't think they're going to be mega evolutions, per se - but rather reacting to the orbs without any sort of mega bracelet or something.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be? ...deadpans
Honestly, if not the legendaries... I have no clue. They'll probably stick as close as possible to Ruby/Sapphire, and probably figure something out for the later generations. (maybe also stick as close to Diamond/Pearl, HeartGold/SoulSilver, B2/W2, X/Y, etc)
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? I can't see why not.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded? I have no idea.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

Am I the only one who didn't really like the mega evolution concept? It seemed honestly quite foreign... Then again, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Also, does the X/Y timeline match with RSE?
New areas to be introduced? A better Battle Frontier? Maybe the southern islands that are on the PokeNav map?
Ideas for post-game content? Allow travel to new areas.

Shrew May 11th, 2014 6:10 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Spoiler:

May and Brendan. This will be the first remakes in which the protagonists aren't named by their colours by default. They will sport their Ruby/Sapphire outfits to match the colours of ORAS, but the Emerald outfit can be purchased. Speaking of which: What would happen if Brendan changed his hat? Y'know, the white-spiky beanie which we all though was hair at some point. Could you imagine "Brendan" wearing a red-checked Fedora over his... uneventful short black hair? I imagine that either, (1) a hairstyle available for males will be to style your hair AS the white hat, or as a more ballsy prediction, (2) that Brendan will be REDESIGNED to have his hair be styled like the hat by default, with the precendent that Gold had his hair redesigned.

According to Bulbapedia, RSE May is originally Light-Skin/Brown-Hair/Blue-Eyes. When you start the game, May will be given the choice between default Light/Brown/Brown, Light/Blond/Blue, and Dark/Black/Brown. RSE Brendan is originally Light-Skin/Black-Hair/Brown-Eyes, but its noted that Colloseum gave him blue eyes and other Sugimori art has drawn him with white hair. The options for Brendan and his new hairdo will be Light/Black Hair/Brown Eyes, Light/White Hair/Blue Eyes, and Dark/Black/Brown.

Another funny question: if Brendan/May has dark-skin, will either your Mom or Norman have dark-skin as well? In XY, your mom Grace's skin was the same regardless, but perhaps you just take after your dad. But RSE is the only game where both parents are present! I predict that Gamefreak will alter the mother's appearance according to Brendan/May's. This is just meant to be a fun question for thought, as there would be nothing wrong if they kept both Mom and Norman exactly as they were in RSE.


What role will Wally play?
Spoiler:

Wally will play an even more active role as a rival than he had in Emerald. He will not use Mega Gardevoir until post-story mode. (See my answers regarding mega evolution being obtained only post-story mode.)


What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Spoiler:

Steven seems to be the more popular champion compared to Wallace. Yet HGSS set a precedent for following Crystal's plot as opposed to GS's. Considering that these remakes are meant to ultimately cater to what the fans liked most about RSE, I predict that Steven will be the champion. Once again, Steven will not have a Mega Aggron or anything until post-story mode... it's not like Aggron was his signature/strongest pokemon in RSE anyways (Metagross was), so it'd be strange to make a big deal about it in ORAS.

Both the anime and manga highlight Wallace as a fan of pokemon Contests. Whereas in Emerald Juan replaced him because he wanted to pursue becoming champion, I believe that in ORAS, Wallace will have left his gym to pursue contests. (Not Super Contests, by the way.)


Will there be any other League-related changes?
Spoiler:

I believe that pretty much everything in the league and plot will stay nearly the same to either as what Emerald had. As far as I know, HGSS and FRLG carried over the same exact pokemon gym leaders/elites used. For instance, Karen continues to use Vileplume, Gengar, and Murkrow in her team despite Honchkrow and tons of new dark types like Absol being introduced to replace the non-darks.

Just like HGSS, Gymleaders and Elites *will* revise their teams to include new pokemon and mega evolutions *after* story mode.


Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Spoiler:

Scott and the Battle Frontier will be introduced as they were in Emerald. I believe the Battle Frontier will keep the same exact challenges for the most part, with the exception of the Battle Pike. The Battle Pike (Queen Lucy's) formerly randomizes challenges between singles, doubles, wild pokemon encounters, and a few other things. I believe that triples, rotation, and wild hoarde battles will be thrown into the mix.


What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Spoiler:

I believe that the plot of ORAS will mostly follow that of Emerald, similar to how HGSS followed Crystal. So the scene where Rayquaza flies in to break the feud between the two pokemon will still be present. This is discussed much later, but I believe that the orb which doesn't correspond with your main legendary will become the mega stone for Rayquaza, varying between each version.


Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

Spoiler:

Groudon will become Fire/Ground. Groudon was introduced before the physical-special split. Groudon was the physical, Kyogre the special. Now that a physical attacker can utilize fire moves like Flare Blitz, this is a good opportunity to update its typing to take advantage of new mechanics.

If Kyogre gained a second-typing, I would bet Water/Electric. Looking at how its mega glows, it's easy to imagine that its glowing from electricity while Groudon glows from fire. Being part electric would make it weak to one of Groudon's STABs to balance the two out a little bit (especially after Groudon gains a quad-weakness to water), and yet having STAB Thunder would make Kyogre better.

Don't forget that Xerneas only has one-type yet Yveltal has two. There's no rule that says version mascots must have the same number of types... I'm tempted to say that Kyogre might just stay pure water, but that's less of an exciting theory.

New abilities: Drought Ω and Drizzle α. These weather conditions last permanently. Establish that these legend are capable of bringing long-term changes to the ecosystem unlike Politoed and Ninetales.

I believe that Steven Stone, stone enthusiast, help you realize that the Blue Orb--required to awaken Groudon--is the Mega Stone for Kyogre in Alpha Sapphire. And the Red Orb will be the Mega Stone for Mega Rayquaza Alpha version. And vice-versa for Omega Ruby.


What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Spoiler:

Let's take a look at the differences between GS version exclusives (in the Japanese) with HGSS's. With the exception of formerly-unavailable Kabuto/Omanyte becoming version exclusives, the version exclusive lists of pokemon released *before 3rd gen* are exactly the same. Hence, it's safe to say that for ORAS, the version exclusive list from RS will carry over and we only have to worry about things from 4-6th gen.

It's also worth noting that neither FRLG or HGSS didn't have any RS or DP pokemon as exclusives respectively, with the exception of evolutions like Gliscor or Mantyke. Because Sylveon is the only XY evolution, I believe no XY pokemon will be exclusives.

However, HGSS (4th) did incorporate some of RS's exclusives (3rd). FRLG (3rd) incorporated some GS's (2nd). So its safe to guess that ORAS will incorporate Black/White exclusives. It's difficult to pinpoint which exactly... perhaps something like Braviary and Mandibuzz post-story mode (especially considering they weren't available post-story mode in XY.)

HGSS and BW2 had a trend of including many legendaries from previous games as version exclusives. I believe Tornadus and Thundurus will be version exclusives much like Regice/Registeel in BW2 or Kyogre/Ground in HGSS, with Landorus unlocked if you have both. Although not technically version-exclusives, because XY had the Kanto birds chosen based on starters and so did Emerald with the Johto beasts, I think this pattern will be repeated.

One final question regarding exclusives: Would it be fair if Ruby-version had Mega Mawile, but Sapphire to not have that? This *could *be compensated by making a pokemon like Absol becoming a Sapphire-exclusive... but this is not the solution I believe they will take. (See my answer for mega evolutions.)


Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Spoiler:

I mentioned in the previous question how Gen 4-6 pokemon will likely be version exclusives; however like with HGSS, I believe that they will be post-story. HGSS made pokemon like Togekiss and Electivire post-story (because their items could naturally be postponed), but included pokemon like Lickilicky and Yanmega (who evolve with level-up moves) into a new Johto dex, with the total being 256.

Let's look at the Hoenn dex, which has a total of 202 pokemon. Gallade, Probopass, Magnezone, Budew, Roserade, Dusknoir, Rhyperior, Froslass.These are the new evolutions which have been introduced since then. All of them are avoidable (including Budew which needs incense), with the debatable exception of Probopass and Magnezone, in which the new Mt. Coronet could be a post-story location.

XY had 454 available. Through post-story methods (Radar, Hoardes), I believe ORAS will feel obligated to meet this quota with at least 500 pokemon available.


What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Spoiler:

I mentioned earlier how it would be unfair if Ruby-version had a Mega Mawile but Sapphire's Sableye didn't have this. Hence why I believe Sableye will gain a mega evolution.

Salamence and Metagross will get megas, because there's no better time for the pseudo-legends of the region to get them besides their own remake. The pokemon will not be version-exclusive but their stones will be. Zangoose and Seviper will, to continue XY's trend of each game having exclusive megas. Perhaps also Shiftry and Ludicolo, but these two are my least confident guesses and it has more to do with the need for more version exclusive megas.

Treecko, Mudkip, Latis (lol), Kyogre, and Groudon are the obligatory and obvious guesses. Rayquaza is a somewhat obvious one, which I would like to elaborate on: I believe that there will be both an Alpha and Omega form for each version, noted with the the greek characters α and Ω. I (incorrectly) theorized that Gen 7 would be called Alpha and Beta, so that the trend of denoting mega evolutions with a single letter could be continued. It's easier to say "Mega Mewtwo X" than "Mega Mewtwo Purple", for instance. Now with ORAS, they could have gone a more predictable route and chose to call them MagmaRuby and AquaSapphire, right? But they chose to call them by (greek) letters instead. Why? Because there WILL be version-exclusive mega evolutions that require being called α and Ω! And Rayquaza fits the profile best for a pokemon who could receive two mega evolutions like Mewtwo had. This is probably the one theory I'm so confident in that I want to bold it, the one thing I want read the most.


Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

Spoiler:

I believe *every* mega stone aside from Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza's (the ones that are needed for the plot) will be post story mode only. The protagonist will not receive xer's Mega Ring until after story mode, when xe learns that the same source of power that allowed Groudon/Kyogre to rise above their typical forms is accessible to other pokemon. The game would not assume you already know what Mega Evolution is to be friendly to new players and because chronologically this takes place before mega evolutions are common knowledge. You would receive your mega ring as a "rare object from a foreign region", most likely from Steven, stone enthusiast. I think the Scorched Slab is one location that might have a mega stone, given how similar it is to the Chamber of Emptiness where you find the Banetite. (Source: Bulbapedia's trivia.)



New areas to be introduced?
Spoiler:

The only new areas that will be introduced are those required to include legendaries from previous generations, similar to how HGSS had the Shinto Ruins. Similar to how the event Celebi had a sidequest, so might Jirachi. The Scorched Slab might be expanded.


Ideas for post-game content?
Spoiler:

Anything more than the Battle Frontier would be showing-up XY more than necessary. They didn't set the bar too high, so they will likely keep it low so that when XY's sequel comes out, they can realistically surpass ORAS in post-game content.

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May - though they may well be renamed to something like Omega and Alpha. I 100% doubt that they'll be replaced with 'new' protagonists, or that it'll be a case of HGSS where the female character is basically the same, but is 'new' for no real reason. They'll revamp Brendan and May.

Quote:

What role will Wally play?
The same as before; though he'll be given a bit of a better stance as a rival, perhaps. Maybe they'll give him a Mega Gardevoir, or maybe still he'll get a Gallade instead. Either way, they'll have it so you battle Wally way more than two times throughout the main story. He'll definitely cross paths with the rival teams too - he had nothing to do with them before, but I expect a tag battle here and there.

Quote:

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Hard to say - I doubt ORAS will have the same deal as HGSS and basicall have Emerald's story, because ultimately ORAS will focus on its mascot legendary.
Because of this, I'm willing to bet Steven will be Champion, Wallace will be 8th Gym Leader, and Juan might receive a cameo somewhere - if you battle him he'll be strong, sure, but nothing special beyond 'Wallace's Mentor'.

Quote:

Will there be any other League-related changes?
There may be some level alterations, and they may well have it so you can battle them in any order, as per Gen V/XY, but the members will be the same and will have the same teams as before.

Quote:

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
As the creator of the Battle Frontier, of course. Exact same as before, only he'll probably make a big deal about Mega Stones and stuff as well, he'll either a) be the one to give you the Mega Stone or b) be simply flabbergasted and in awe that you're able to use Mega Evolution, when it comes around to it.

Quote:

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Verrrrrrrrrry hard to predict - since the video most recently broadcasted by Pokémon shows separate cutscenes of rain and sunshine, I'm willing to bet Rayquaza won't resume its Emerald role, but will simply wait atop Sky Pillar for the player to battle in the postgame.

Quote:

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Groudon will gain secondary Fire typing, and he will keep Drought - however, I'm willing to bet he'll get some kind of modified Drought that remains permanent for as long as he's in the arena, or at least lasts longer than five turns. I think the same regarding Kyogre, of course - Drizzle will be modified for it so that it lasts longer. Also, Kyogre will get secondary Ice typing, if it gets a Mega Evolution.
Quote:

— their roles in the games will be?
I imagine their roles will be much the same as before, with the respective evil Teams trying to expand the land mass/the sea. However, in the event that the modified Groudon/Kyogre are indeed Mega Evolutions, I'd say that the evil teams want to Mega Evolve them to further enhance the weather effects, quite simply.
Quote:

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

IF they are Mega Evolutions I'm willing to bet the Red and Blue Orbs will become their Groudonite and Kyogrite, yes.

Quote:

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Don't see why they'd change the version exclusives: Seedot, Solrock, Zangoose etc. to OR, Lotad Lunatone, Seviper etc. to AS. I'm also willing to bet that certain 'pairs' of Pokémon from more recent generations will also be present as version exclusives, like Slurpuff and the other Fairy thang.
Quote:

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Absolutely. That Hoenn 'dex be getting expanded, right-quick.
Quote:

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Oh my godddddddddd who is asking these questions I want to sleep. Anyway, obviously the starters from other generations won't be available in the wild (NOT counting the likes of Friend Safari, or whatever). There won't be all that many Kalos Pokémon available; Fletchling, Bunnelby, Scatterbug, Litleo, Honedge - their evolutionary lines won't be available, for example.

Quote:

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Milotic, Metagross, Salamence, Walrein, Cacturne, Sabeleye, to name a few Hoenn Pokémon that might get some.
Quote:

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
...randomly across the region like in X and Y, only there'll need to be a different system of activating the 'locator', because there's no big crystal like in Anistar City. No doubt in the postgame if you talk to Scott or whoever tells you about the Mega Stones initially, they'll say "Oh, I heard there's a strange stone in _______, maybe it's a Mega Stone".

FURTHERMORE, I guarantee that the odd stone that you're given on a whim in X/Y is actually a Mega Stone for ORAS; and you totally have the option to trade it for a Sun Stone, which I accidentally did and now feel suuuuuuper stupid about.
Quote:

New areas to be introduced?
Nah, Hoenn's plenty colourful and diverse - they'll doll it up like all hell, but they won't need to add new areas.

Quote:

Ideas for post-game content?
Emerald's Battle Frontier (which does NOT count as a new area thank you very much); the Mega Stones will need to be found. Rematches against Gym Leaders via call on the PokéNav, Swarm Pokémon, the Lati will roam, Rayquaza will be unlocked (as will Regigigas if you catch all the Regis). Instead of the Johto-ish area of the Safari Zone, Friend Safari's will be unlocked.

Who will be the protagonists?

I think, and hope, that it will be Brendan and May still. I think they'd keep the ability to customize them, though, and new items will be available that fit those characters' styles more.

What role will Wally play?

That's a tough one. I certainly hope he'll have a larger part than he did in the original games. I think they might expand his role, assuming he's kept, and make him more of a real rival, rather than those two battles you had against him in the originals. He might have a bit more story to him, but I don't think he'll become anything too great, as we already have to fight over Wallace or Steven being champion.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Okay, let's look at it this way: these are remakes of Ruby and Sapphire, yes, but I suspect that many elements implemented in Emerald will appear, as there will be no "Gamma Emerald" or what have you, so they'll likely take things they added and expanded upon in Emerald and place them in ORAS, similar to certain things in HGSS, such as Suicune's role, being kept to an extent. Going by this train of thought, I think Juan and Wallace will retain their roles as Gym Leader and Champion, respectively, and Steven will be a powerful trainer you can see around the region, and perhaps with a larger part in the story.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

I think (or hope) that the Elite Four members will have more to them, whether it be a larger part in the story or at least some back stories to them. They'll have updated teams, but they themselves will likely be the same.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

I'm not sure, here. He's not very memorable, and I'm not sure whether they'll bring back the original Battle Frontier, no matter how much I'd like them to. I'm going to say that he won't, although there may still be some version of a battle frontier.

EDIT: Since I'm deciding to assume that the original Battle Frontier might really be back, I'm going to say that Scott might appear in relation to it, although perhaps not as much as he did in Emerald.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

Mediator between Kyogre and Groudon, I would assume. I'm not sure how they'll play the story between Team Magma / Team Aqua and Groudon / Kyogre, as they'll likely keep Groundon obtainable in OR and Kyogre obtainable in AS, but it will probably still have both to a certain extent, and Rayquaza will be needed to keep order.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

I think their types would be the same, and the originals didn't really have signature moves, so I don't think they'll be getting any EDIT: going by the trailer, they probably will have new moves. Groudon's was some sort of spikes-coming-out-of-magma thing, so I'm suspecting Ground-type (especially since it made a super-effective noise against Blaziken, so it's no dual-fire) and probably 140 base power. Kyogre's will be Water-type and probably with 140 base power as well. As far as abilities . . . their major thing is being able to affect the weather, so they'll either retain their normal abilities of Drought and Drizzle in the new forms, or (site says new abilities so new abilities it is) have some greater ability involving their respective weather of sun and rain. Perhaps aura abilities like Yveltal and Xerneas. Earth Aura and Water Aura? If not, it will probably be something involving sunlight/rain and ground or fire/water moves.

— their roles in the games will be?

Team Magma / Team Aqua will probably be trying to harness the legedaries' powers to influence the region's land / water mass, and these forms will probably be some secret power that allows them to truly reshape the world, so they'll attempt to draw out the forms and, well, do their thing.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

I think that would make the most sense, as they already have a connection / resonance with the orbs, so it wouldn't be far out there to think they'll draw out the new forms.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokémon be?

I'm assuming they'll be similar to the exclusives in the original games.

αSapphire: Lotad line, Sableye, Seviper, Lunatone, Latias, Kyogre

ΩRuby: Seedot line, Mawile, Zangoose, Solrock, Latios, Groudon

Will Generation IV - VI Pokémon be available in the wild?

Once the National Dex is obtained, then certainly. Perhaps they'll add a few new pokémon to the Safari Zone, and pokémon that evolve from older pokémon, such as Gallade, Probopass, Magnezone, Dusknoir and Rhyperior, might be available through evolution (perhaps only Probopass and Magnezone, as the others reuire items), but not capture.

But I'm going to say that the Hoenn Pokédex will stay pretty much the same, and most post-gen III pokémon will be available only in the post-game.

— If so, what Pokémon will be included/excluded?

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Bolding ones that get confirmed, just because.

I've heard rumors of Mega Plusle and Mega Minun, which sound awkward (but amazing), as well as Jynx. I heard mention of Mega Kecleon earlier, which sounds cool. There will most likely be Mega Swampert and Mega Sceptile. Other ones I think (or hope) they might include are Mega Milotic, Mega Tropius, Mega Metagross, Mega Zangoose, Mega Seviper, Mega Breloom, Mega Exploud, Mega Sableye, Mega Sharpedo, Mega Torkoal, Mega Camerupt, Mega Salemence, Mega Swellow, and Mega Skarmory.

Of course there'll be Mega Latios and Mega Latias, and possibly Mega Groudon and Mega Kyogre. If Groudon and Kyogre get Megas, then I think it fair to also make a Mega Rayquaza. *Primal forms, baby

Those are just Hoenn pokémon, though. I'm still expecting Megas for the Gen II-V starters, as well as other potential non-Hoenn pokémon.

Total shots in the dark, though. Still, there's always hope.

EDIT: Sadly, I didn't call Diancie, although I don't think anybody saw that coming.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

I have no idea, honestly. Some of the locations of certain Mega Stones in X and Y were so odd and obscure. Tyranitar/Aggron were even inside a gym.

EDIT: Just to get some ideas in . . . perhaps in dungeons such as Mt. Chimney, Mt. Pyre, the Aqua/Magma base, and Victory Road (and that cave you first find Steven in in Dewford, as he's now connected to Mega Evolution). I think Sableye's Mega Stone might be within Mt. Pyre.

New areas to be introduced?

New to the series or new to Hoenn games? Some people have mentioned the Sevii Isles, and I think that would make sense. New chambers for certain legendaries, perhaps one for Regigigas, and other small areas, like new caves or underwater locations.

EDIT: Going by the map update, there's more land all around the water, although I'm not sure if that's significant. An expanded Aqua/Magma base seems likely (the dark place at the top), but it's not necessarily new. It would also seem that the Battle Frontier is certainly back, but that's also not new.

Ideas for post-game content?

Asdfghjkl; The original Battle Frontier would be really nice, but I don't know if they'll implement that again. If they introduce the Sevii Isles, then that would probably be post-game. I'm not sure what else there could be.

EDIT: As I said above, it would seem that the Battle Frontier is back. I'm going to take a shot and say it'll be like the original Battle Frontier, which I will enjoy immensely if it is.


Velveteenwolf May 11th, 2014 8:38 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
I think the protagonists will be either May and Brendan or following Crystal and HeartGold's example be two new players for the occasion, especially if it is a remake but set in a new time frame if they want to explain the "new" Pokemon and Mega Evolution.

What role will Wally play?
I think Wally would play the same role but maybe more connected to the main story of Team Magma and Team Aqua, not just a side story that shows up at the entrance of Victory Road. Maybe some Double or Triple battles with him would be cool. I loved Wally's story, how we helped him in the beginning and how he grew stronger with his Ralts. He was more than just a way to sneak in a how to catch Pokemon tutorial. And his relationship with Ralts made me love that Pokemon. Maybe have him also have a starter from this Region? or even from each region?

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I think Juan as sootopolis city Gym leader should be more included in the story, since the big event of all 3 legendary Pokemon showing up there takes place. I think Wallace should show up more also since he is closely related to Juan, the gym and becomes champ in Emerald. Maybe be more like Alder and Lance? Steven should help with Mega stones since he is a stone fanatic and be related to Groudon and Kyoger's mega Evolutions. He is also closely related to Wallace since Wallace takes over as champ.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Maybe make them more powerful after deafeting them a certain number of times? Have them evolve their Pokemon or have completly new team lineups, maybe even based on what starter you picked. Mega Evolutions for each Elite Four. Pick how many pokemon each Trainer can have for the match. Challenge modes like each Pokemon hp set to 1 and you win based on who hits first (quick draw challenge?). Elite four uses rare and Legendary Pokemom with evs and ivs, maybe as a setting?

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
People seam to not like Scott very much for some reason. We should be use to annoying characters that appear at terrible and weird moments. But maybe he can come back as the gym guy who gives out water bottles or lemonade.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Maybe the same as before but way cooler. With a mega evolution. Make it show up more than it did, more of a supporting role. Maybe even a shiny Rayquaza! Maybe the trainer can help it defeat Mega Groudon and Mega Kyoger by looking for its Mega stones to evolve it into Mega Rayquaza using their Mega Ring. Or Mega Deoxys swoops in and saves the day.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

I think groudon should change to a Dragon Type and Kyogre a Fairy type. Abilitys should be new ones that have to do with the weather. Completely new signature moves.

— their roles in the games will be?
Probably the same. With a twist.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
I think the mega stones should change from the orbs, like an event needs to happen for them to change to their true identity as mega stones. Red and Blue orb seems too vague. Or they should be two different items like the orbs react/find Groudon, Kyoger and their stones.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Maybe make all gen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 Version exclusives to a specific game. Or base it on the mascots type.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Yes. Hopefully they wont look like they were bleached. Some of the color schemes looked too weird and different.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

I think they they should include all of them. Before it was a good idea to include some of your favorites to introduce the new ones, but why exclude some with mega evolutions if you want to be able to catch them, too. They are all my favorites and I think the only thing new would be a Pokemon's Mega Evolution. I think they should have kept some familiar faves in Black and White. New Pokemon take some getting use to. Plus they are bringing back gotta catch em all, going back to the beginning.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

They would probably focus on this regions Pokemon or completely surprise us. I cant even imagine what they would look like.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Maybe in Hidden Bases around the game. Then maybe they will be extra hidden. Maybe group hunts.

New areas to be introduced?
Maybe new routes or cities that have the "new" Pokemon. Stretch out that route near ever grande. More ocean to the right of the map. The moon could be cool. Moon Pokemon like Clefairy and Beheyem, and shiny Deoxys. Maybe underwater caverns deep in the ocean. Treasure hunting and sunken ships.

Ideas for post-game content?
Rematchs, daily side quests that are downloadable. Meet up with other trainers to hunt shinies. Route outbursts and increasing chances of horde battles. Change what Pokemon show up in horde battles based on what music your playing from a region. Bug, fishing and other contests to keep you busy. Multiplayer mini games like in Pokemon Stadium. To really be able to breed and train a triathlon Pokemon, not just to be a battler. To really be able to change roles like "I don't want to be a Trainer any more, I want to be a coordinator or Rhyhorn Racer. " Maybe be an aura guardian (Time Travel?), Pokemon ranger, or a spy for looker. Include missions with old evil Teams (or even new ones) like Team Rocket, Team Galactic, Team Plasma and Team Flare. (maybe team Magma the basis of team Flare?! Ripple effect!) Make it more interesting for those who don't care about ivs and evs and completing the pokedex. Lots of legendary hunts, maybe even shiny!

felynari May 11th, 2014 9:10 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May (kinda obvious i think) if they're not the protagonists then this might be a sequel.

What role will Wally play?

Alternate Rival (if only i can use him xD) maybe he might do mega evo too.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Steven will be the champion , Wallace is still gym leader & Juan will be at random place? maybe mirage island like the manga and he will have hes own quest or side quest.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

LOL i laugh at this question.., he'll probably still annoys you anywhere in the game but maybe he will give you some item's this time

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

The same as R/S/E I'd like to have rayquaza mega evo hopefully they add it

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think


— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Well obviously groudon will be Fire/Ground , but for Kyore Water/Steel or
Water
/Electric? i dont think they will change its abilities & signature move



— their roles in the games will be?

Same as R/S/E

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

kinda weird if its red/blue orb it must be something Omega or Alpha.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

As usual counterpart pokemons

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

If this is a full remake then i dont think they will add it but maybe...maybe they add it after E4

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

Goldeen? lol magikarp/gyarados oh yes gallade will be definitely included

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

Starters ,(ZIGZAGOON XD), Latios/Latias,Kyogre,Groudon & Rayquaza

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

Postgame or special place? :|

New areas to be introduced?

Mirage island will be more useful now :3?, and the other island that has not use in R/S/E games

Ideas for post-game content?
Mew quest,Latios/Latias quest & Jirachi quest

Harvey_Create May 11th, 2014 10:30 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Well of course, Brendon and May. They were the main Protagonists in the originals. So why not just Reboot?
What role will Wally play?
I think Wally was a meaningless character. He didnt do much in RSE for me. I think they should branch out on him a bit. Make his role more important. Maybe make him join Magma or Aqua.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I hope there respective places.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
I assume EVVERYTHING is getting a redesign. If they released it in B/W style, Not much would change. However, X/Y style, Hoenns entire layout would have to change. Possibly for better or worse. I like the idea of remade with a B/W feel. but X/Y battles. I dont know. SO MANY IDEAS.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Scott should. He kept an eye on you throughout the entire story, so why not> just make him less stalker-ish.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Rayquaza was a Peace-Keeper. And that worked, But I think there needs to be more to him. Maybe add a part earlier on in game.
Should Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions?
I changed this question around because of some clashing views. I am not a fan of MegaEvolutions. I think they add too much Strength in game. Too OP, some may say. But, I havent had much of a look at them, So I dont know yet.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
They should keep the same PokeDex that appeared in RSE, however, vary it up more. I dont want to see 5 million Silcoons.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
I think they should be end game. Like a Mini Region to explore after you beat the Pokemon League.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
I want to see ones of:
Torkoal
Snorunt
Lodicullo (Cant Spell. Im lame)
Skitty
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
If they add MegaEvolutions, THey should hide them in Hidden Grottos and Unmarked places on the map.
New areas to be introduced?
I would like to see a Mini region added for Post-Game. Maybe have a special Poedex for Gens 4-6 pokemon to be captured. I also want to see a Revamped Hidden Grotto. I liked the Idea, But more customization.
Ideas for post-game content?
Side Quests. Things to do throughout the Entire Hoenn region as means to get special end game Items. I also like the idea od Dungeons being added.



I know many of my ideas are controvestial, but a lot of these ideas im adding in my fangame.

Ephraim225 May 11th, 2014 11:22 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May, but they'll have their designs updated.

What role will Wally play?
He's your REAL Rival. Brendan/May become a minor entity like Ethan/Lyra, and you get to battle Wally more and explore his character more, and in the post game he becomes a fairy-type Gym Leader.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
They will have the same role as they did in the original Ruby/Sapphire, however...

Will there be any other League-related changes?
...there will be a Gym Leader "Round 2" in which all leaders are tougher, what's more, Wally will be a gym leader (as stated above), the final gym will be led by Juan and Wallace will be champ, but only in these rematches.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
It'd be silly for the Frontier to not return, so Scott will have the same role as in Emerald.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Same as in Emerald, although some modifications will be made to keep Emerald's plot while also keeping the version mascots exclusive.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think

— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
No changes from the original games.

— their roles in the games will be?
Same as Emerald, except see above.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
The stones will be the orbs. Except...

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Same as in the originals, except the Red/Blue Orbs will be found in the opposite version - that is, Red Orb in AS, Blue Orb in OR. Because Game Freak loves trolling.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
No, there's no need.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Mega [email protected] is all but confirmed.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
An event will see Diancie craft it for [email protected] you have to trade it to X/Y. Yes, the stone is hidden in a completely different region.

New areas to be introduced?
A hidden part of the woods near Fortree City where only fairy-types live. Wally travels there to found his gym.

Ideas for post-game content?
Other than what's already posted, the game will have enough sidequests to rival that of The Elder Scrolls, and Hoenn will have more dungeons and additional areas for this purpose. (Okay fine, a guy can dream right?) Oh, and the Frontier will have more content resembling that of Pokemon Stadium, including a Gym Leader Castle and standard Stadium Cups.

marc1234 May 12th, 2014 2:36 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
May and Brendan.

What role will Wally play?
He will play the role of a rival, the same as the original R/S. And he will give you the mega stone of Gardevoir

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Wallace will be the 8th gym and Steven will be the Champion. I think Juan will not be in this game cause he appeared in Emerald. Steven will give you a mega stone in granite cave

Will there be any other League-related changes?
They will have a different teams and a Fairy type trainer

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Yes, he will return. I think he will give you a mega evo stone

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
He will stop Kyogre and Groudon. Like he did in R/S

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think

— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Groudon will still have the same type and Kyogre also. They will have the same abilities but they will have a signature moves like Zekrom/Reshiram

— their roles in the games will be?
The evil Teams will capture them

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
An improvise Red/Blue orbs

Who will be the protagonists?

May & Brendan with upgraded PokeNavs and cool outfits as well!

What role will Wally play?

Your Rival, not only in Pokemon Battles but also in Pokemon Contest. With some cool Mega Evos except his Gardevoir.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Likewise, Juan is the Sootopolis City Gym Leader; Wallace is the Champ and Steven as Strongest Pokemon Trainer in whole Hoenn Region.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

The battle scenery with awesome 3D graphics! Like in Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

Yes, Master of Frontier Brains. (Even though Scott is not a Pokemon Trainer.) I want a twist also, like instead of Scott fighting you if you choose May as Protagonist you will fight Brendan instead of Scott. Brendan will secretly training in Battle Frontier to explore different Pokemon around the world in help for his father Prof. Birch. And vice versa.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

Hero of the Sootopolis. Stops Groudon and Kyogre chaotic disaster.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Red Orbs turns to Ruby, Blue Orb turns to Sapphire then the 3rd one supposedly to be green orb for Rayquaza is Emerald that can only be found in Mirage Island.To get Ruby or Sapphire you must exchange the Blue/Red orb somewhere in Hoenn must be connected to Steven.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Like in the original version of sapphire and ruby also for emerald.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Yes, no exclusion of pokemons.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Starters Mega Evo and Legendary Mega Evo
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Like what I've said earlier the Emerald is in Mirage Island. The Sapphire and Ruby is in Devon Corp.
New areas to be introduced?
None so far but I want some increase in seeing the Mirage Island.
Ideas for post-game content?
Umm.. Better gaming experience.

KostK2Boss May 12th, 2014 5:12 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May. They might get some minor wardrobe updates, but I don't expect them to look too different.

What role will Wally play?
Same as in the originals I presume. He's a shy kid.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I don't think they will follow Emerald's story, so Steven will probably still be the Champion. I do hope Juan somehow makes it into the game, 'cause he's really cool. Maybe they could pull an Iris/Drayden and have each version have a different Gym Leader in Sootopolis.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Probably major re-designs for the Elite Four/Champion chambers that make them look cooler. I don't think you will be able to fight the Elite Four in random order like in newer games.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
If the Battle Frontier makes a return, so will Scott. Simple as that.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
To hang out in the Sky Pillar for you to catch after the main story.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Some of them might become available post-game in new Safari Zone areas and/or Swarms. Also, Hoenn Pokemon that can evolve/ breed into Gen IV Pokemon will probably be able to do so once you get the National Pokedex.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Sceptile, Swampert, Latios and Latias (they have yet to be officialy revealed). Anything else would be a pleasant surprise really.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Why, in locations that have nothing to do with the Pokemon in question of course!

New areas to be introduced?
Hoenn seems to be pretty filled-up already. Not much place for them to put a new city on. Maybe they could work around this by adding more secret underwater areas.

Ideas for post-game content?
Rayquaza, Latios/Latias, a legendary trio from another Generation, Battle Tower/Battle Frontier and Catching Them All!

Gogoat Rocks! May 12th, 2014 5:26 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May

What role will Wally play?
I pretty sure he'll be in the same role as RS

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan would be the 8th gym leader, Steven would be Champion and Wallace would be Contest Champion.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Not sure

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I don't think Scott will make a return. only if there is a emerald remake.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
I don't think there will be a bi role for Rayquaza. Sorry mate.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think

— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Groudon: Ground|Fire/Drought/a strong water type move/
Kyogre: Water|Dragon/Drizzle/a strong ground type move/

— their roles in the games will be?
I think their roles will be the same as the roles they had in RS

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
I think the megastones will be something else cause the Red/Blue orbs only controls their actions. Not change their form.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Only some:
Ruby:
Spoiler:
Seedot-Shiftry, Mawile, Zangoose, Solrock, Groundon

Sapphire:
Spoiler:
Lotad-Ludicolo, Sableye, Seviper, Lunatone, Kyogre


Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
They certainly will be. but obviously not all of them.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Includes:
Spoiler:
Not good with these things :P

Excludes:
Spoiler:
All Starters an Evolve forms. others


What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Mega Sceptile, Mega Marshtomp, Mega Groudon, Mega Kyogre, Mega Rayquaza, Mega Metagross, Mega Salamence, Mega Walrein, Mega Shiftry, Mega Camerupt, Mega Torkoal, Mega Ludicolo, Mega Flygon, Mega Milotic.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Mega Sceptile, Given to you by Professed Birch or Steven if chosen Treecko
Mega Marshtomp,Given to you by Professed Birch or Steven if chosen Mudkip
Mega Groudon, comes with it when catched
Mega Kyogre, comes with it when catched
Mega Rayquaza, comes with it when catched

Others: In towns and in routes :P

New areas to be introduced?
I don't think so. :\

Ideas for post-game content?
Looking for more megastones

Altius May 12th, 2014 5:47 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May, depending on gender. The opposing gender you've picked will be your rival in the game(s).

What role will Wally play?
A sickly Pokemon Trainer with huge dreams, just like in the originals. However, he will be much more powerful in the remakes with possibly a Mega Gardevoir in his team later on.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Wallace will be the gym leader of Sootopolis City, Juan will be a master pokemon coordinator and Steven will be the champion of Hoenn.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Possibly different TMs will be given out (such as Scald instead of Water Pulse), and different gym designs/E4 room designs. Besides that, not much difference besides graphics.
Rematches, however, are expected. E4 members should have a full team of 6. Steven will have a mega evolution in his team.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Probably, since the remakes of the Pokemon series tend to take some gameplay plots from the enhanced versions (in this case, Emerald). He will probably be similar to what he did in Emerald, and in the end bringing you to the Battle Frontier.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Not much, just like the original Ruby/Sapphire. You will simply head over to catch it after defeating the Pokemon League. However, I guess more NPCs will mention or talk about Rayquaza as compared to Ruby/Sapphire.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Mega Groudon
Type: Ground/Fire
Ability: Drought
Signature Move: Thousand Waves (90 Power, Physical, Ground)

Mega Kyogre
Type: Water/Psychic
Ability: Drizzle
Signature Move: Tidal Waves (90 Power, Special, Water) - Probably a special water-type Thousand Waves.

— their roles in the games will be?
Much like in the originals, they will be awakened by Team Magma/Aqua. However, unlike the originals, Team Magma/Aqua will be able to control them in the seafloor cavern and use them to battle you in their Mega form. Once they lost, Groudon/Kyogre will be in a rampage and leave the seafloor cavern, causing destruction to the weather.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Mega evolved via the Groudonite/Kyogreite.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Similar to the originals, I assume. Plusle/Minun, Solrock/Lunatone, Latias/Latios and of course Groudon/Kyogre.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

Yes. Probably post game in swarms or in a new place (Sevii Islands could return).

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Latias/Latios, Groudon/Kyogre, Swampert, Sceptile, Plusle, Minun, Dusknoir.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Devon Co. might be the one giving you the Mega Ring and Latias/Latios will probably be given by Devon Co. after capturing, starter mega stones by Prof. Birch. Groudon/Kyogre will hold the mega stone.

The Anistar City-like sundial that allows you to find mega stones can be located at Mt. Pyre. Other Mega stones can be bought in the Lilycove department store or won with BP.

New areas to be introduced?
Sevii Islands could make a comeback with Hoenn. Together with event islands not introduced in R/S but in Emerald.

Ideas for post-game content?
Sevii Islands, Battle Frontier, Gym/Elite Four/rival rematches, Mega stone hunt, CONTESTS, events.

Eevee May 12th, 2014 6:20 AM

Who will be the protagonists?

May and Brendan but you can customize their outfits. They will have more summery themed clothing since Hoenn is a summery type of region. They could even have different colours of their original outfits!

What role will Wally play?

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Steven will be champion, Wallace will be the 8th gym leader and Juan will be the champion of contests.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

I think they'll keep the same league members but their teams will change. Megas will probably be apart of their teams.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

I think Rayquaza will be in the story as the big legendary to beat at the climax of the story. Kyogre and Groudon will combine together to make Rayquaza super powerful and the player will have to defeat it.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?



What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?



What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

New areas to be introduced?

Ideas for post-game content?
  • Pokemon contests
  • The Battle Frontier
  • Implying Rayquaza isn't involved in the main story, a post game involving it may be in place
  • Your typical "catch them all and fill the national Pokedex!"

I'll work on this later.

She_Delphox May 12th, 2014 6:58 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
I think the characters will kinda look like May and Brendan, but again I think it's possible to alter the characters just like it was in X and Y (different clothes and hair colours etc.).

What role will Wally play?
I think Wally may still be a great rival/friend in-game, and think he might make a return in these games but some changes to his character are possible.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan - I'm not entirely sure if Juan would appear again, since he only had a small role in Emerald…
Wallace - Very likely he returns as the Gym Leader from Sootopolis Gym
Steven - I think there is a good chance Steven will be busy with the Mega Stones and all that, since he seemed to focus on stones in the original series. It would be a logical choice imo. Would be nice to see him back as the Champion of the Elite Four too.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
I think the Elite Four Pokemon might change, because there are a lot more Pokemon known by now. Think of Gen.4 to Gen.6, a lot has changed since the original R/S/E games came out, I think these will be put to good use. Maybe even some more Mega Evolutions added in these battles, who knows?

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I kinda do hope Scott, or someone equal to this character, returns because I think the Battle Frontier in Emerald was a great addition and should definitely make a comeback in ORAS.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
I think the same in a way that Rayquaza maintains the balance between Groudon and Kyogre, meaning also, the balance between earth/land and sea/ocean ('cause known environments are in fact; Sky, Oceans and Land). But, I think there will be some great addition to this, some new discovery or so we have to find out in ORAS. Maybe there is much more behind this story. And maybe, Rayquaza also gets another forme or even a Mega Evolution like Kyogre and Groudon seem to have (notice their forme is different now from the original R/S/E games, so they might have another forme imo).

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
I definitely think Groudon should be Fire/Ground finally, because I always seem to feel that Groudon should be at least a Fire-type. He just looks like one to begin with, and he seems to be some sort of "Volcano creature" meaning Ground/Fire fits him perfectly. As for Kyogre, Water/Dragon suits him well because he is in fact a large "Sea creature", and dragons are often used in mythology as very large beings that rule certain areas/environments of the world, therefore I think adding the Dragon-type is a great addition.
— their roles in the games will be?
I think it might be the same like it was back in R/S/E, meaning keeping the land and sea in order but there is also a possibility it could be entirely different this time. Maybe the leaders of Team Aqua and Magma retired for several years and made a comeback, trying to mess with the formes of Kyogre and Groudon and it got way out of hand this time… But I do think for sure land and sea again make a great re-appearance in the story.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
I definitely think the Red and Blue orbs should maintain this purpose. We also still have the Adamant Orb (Dialga) and Lustrous Orb (Palkia) for example, return in Gen.6. These Items remained untouched, so I do think they should leave these Items like they were back in the original games. However, I don't think the Red and Blue Orb should serve as the possible "Mega Stone". They should stay with the concept of specific Mega Stone names, and the Blue and Red Orb would be used to summon/ get access to the lair of these legendaries.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Ofcourse, Groudon for OR and Kyogre for AS. Then, it would be nice if they returned the version exclusive legendaries Latios (for OR) and Latias (for AS) into the game as the opposite colours, I really liked that idea (Latias is red for the 'blue' AS and Latios is blue for the 'red' OR). And lastly, I think it's very possible that they add several more region Pokemon into the wild as version exclusives too (Gen.1 to Gen.6).

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
I think in the beginning there will be some Gen.5 and Gen.6 Pokemon available into the wild, and after completing the National Dex some more Pokemon will become available.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Could be totally random, but for example;
Gen.5 - including: Lillipup, Patrat, Purrlion, Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, Pidove, Blitzle (… and so on, those very common Pokemon)
Gen.6 - including: Scatterbug, Fletchling, Bunnelby, Espurr, Skiddo, Inkay… (same as above)

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
I hope they will do something with Swampert and Sceptile now too, since it's a great opportunity and Blaziken already has a Mega Evolution so it would be only natural imo. Next, Groudon and Kyogre maybe, if they don't have an alternate forme. Same with Rayqyaza. I think Latios and Latias will have a Mega Evolution and hopefully some other Pokemon too like Salamence, Sharpedo, Flygon, Milotic…

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Some possible locations (depending on the chosen Pokemon ofcourse) would be:
- Meteor Falls - the location where you could catch Bagon using Sweet Scent (Salamence)
- Mt. Pyre
- Some place where you could use Dive (Milotic)
- Petalburg Woods
- Abandoned Ship (Sharpedo)
- Mirage Tower in the Desert (Flygon)

New areas to be introduced?
I hope the Safari Zone still exists in ORAS as well as the Mt. Pyre concept. It would be nice to add some new areas like some more Diving areas (discovering new training grounds or exclusive areas for finding wild Pokemon), some changes to Mirage Island (some more wild Pokemon and other things to do). I do hope Secret Bases make a comeback and maybe on some more different locations too.

Ideas for post-game content?
I truly hope there will be a large Battle Frontier concept post-game. Next, it would be nice to have some other challenges with old trainers from the original R/S/E games who will make a comeback post-game. Maybe there are some new mysteries around some existing Pokemon that could be solved post-game and catching some more Legendary Pokemon would be a nice challenge. Also, I do like the idea that you can travel to some new region-like-area or some additional Islands like it was in FireRed/LeafGreen or Platinum. The concept of Gen.5 was also nice, to add a battle area in the shape of a "maze like thing" where in the end, you have to battle a champion and you can pick a starter Pokemon. For example, I would love to re-challenge all Gym leaders and Pokemon League with new Pokemon and way better stats and higher levels.

Hatsune Mika May 12th, 2014 7:02 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May.
What role will Wally play?
Still a rival but maybe become the champion or become a member of Magma/Aqua
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Wallace might be the 8th gym leader with Juan being a person to give advice or battle you to test you for Wallace. Steven could become the champion or have a bigger role and help you defeat team M/A
Will there be any other League-related changes?
Elite four pokemon may change.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Maybe, if he does he might be the one to introduce an island or give the national dex to you. And look for that awesome trainer for battle frontier.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
He will come over and save the world from Groudon/Kyogre going insane in the wild.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be? Fire Ground for Groudon and Water Dragon for Kyogre and custom signature moves for the two
— their roles in the games will be? the same Team Aqua and Magma tries to capture them (Groudon escaping Aqua/Kyogre escaping Magma) and getting enraged and making the weather insane. One team catching the opposite to get rid of them to complete their goal of expansion.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else? Red and Blue Orbs, they control them so why not control their strength and make them more powerful?
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be? The respective legendaries Groudon for Ruby and Kyogre for Sapphire and pssibly other legends like Latios and Latias as well, and maybe others like usual. Mawile/Sableye.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? Yes, but I say maybe a select few in the wild before national dex.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded? magikarp should be rare. Dedenne should be an early getter.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced? Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Sceptile and Swampert to complete the trio possibly Latios/Latias, and also Seviper/Zangoose should get Mega Evo's as well
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden? Well maybe the Red/Blue orb will be in the cave of origin, maybe get one from Mt. Pyre lady. Also have tge starters in places like Mt. Chimney Blaziken (after 6 badges), Route 119 Sceptile from Winona, and shoal cave Swampert.
New areas to be introduced? Extended Battle frontier, travel to space, rhe islands that neighbors BF. And also Rayquaza being om an island farther away from Sootopolis and flying on his back to Sootopolis.
Ideas for post-game content? epic sky battle with Winona and some new bicycle mechanics. Maybe have all Gen VI post game (version exclusive except XY mascots.) Also put in island adventure fun or fun quests throughout Hoenn.

nerazzurri May 12th, 2014 7:39 AM

Who will be the protagonists?

May and Brendan, with the same and maybe slightly better customation mechanic as X/Y

What role will Wally play?

He will start as that noob with the Ralts, and end up as the champion with a Mega-Gardevoir


What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Juan: A small roll
Wallace: Gymleader of Sootopolis
Steven: Perhaps some sort of relative who would introduce you to Mega-Stones and would help you in your adventure

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Maybe like the newer gen that you can choose in which order to battle them. And a Mega for each of the elite 4, ofcourse.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
He would seek for ''the'' trainer to become a battle brain of the Battle Frontier

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
He would stop Groudon and Rayquaza from fighting, just like in the original games.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be? My guess is since they are mascots of the game their new types would be the same. My guess would be that they both get a second type Dragon.
Their abilities would remain the same since it's a signature of them. The signature of Groudon would be Earth Power and that of Kyogre would be Water Spout.

— their roles in the games will be?
In Omega Ruby you would follow Team Magma and Groudon, just like in the original and in Alpha Sapphire you would follow Team Aqua and Kyogre.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Steven would have something to do with them.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
The version exclusives of Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Heartgold, Pokémon Black (2) and Pokémon X will all be in Omega Ruby.
The version exclusives of Pokémon Pearl, Pokémon Soulsilver, Pokémon White (2) and Pokémon Y will all be in Alpha Sapphire.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
I think that they will include a minor amount of Pokémon of Gen IV and V and after you beat the Pokémon League you could catch the remaining. Ofcourse with version exclusives like Zangoose and Seviper

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
The Hoenn starters to balance it out.
Shiftry
Slaking
Exploud
Camerupt
Flygon
Metagross
Salamence
Crawdaunt
Deoxys(all forms)
The Regi's and the Lati Duo
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
In the various caves.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
NO. No. No. No.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

Kyogre -Water - Adaptability - Waterspout
Groudon - Ground - Solid Rock - Roll Out

— their roles in the games will be?
Same as R/S
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

06s23 May 12th, 2014 8:09 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May wil be the main protagonists - or at least the main base-style. As-in: there will be customisation options such as skin tone, and different clothes.

What role will Wally play?
I believe Wally will be appearing much more often, probably in every major town (or route near a town). He may also give the player a run for their money in game progression, he is likely to beat the player to every location and gym. He will probably appear as much as the friends in X/Y.
I dont think he will be an aggressive rival (nor will May/Brendan for that matter), and i dont think he will have such a depressing and emotional storyline (as in, he never beats the player and really wants to)... He will still be ambitious and driven to do well though.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan: Will not appear as the 8th gym leader, but you are likely to see him in contests - almost like a gym leader of each contest hall. If he does not appear at all, Wallace is still likely to mention him, saying he owes his skill and progress in his life to him.
Wallace: Will be the leader of the 8th gym, and involved in the groudon/kyogre plot once it reaches sootopolis. He will be more of a force of protection of people than actively fighting the pokemon threat.
Steven: Will take his place as he was in R/S, and remain as the champion - but also as the players friend. He will also be closely tied to mega stones, either unlocking the player's potential for mega evolution or being a cornerstone for finding, selling and using megastones. He is likely to have a mega metagross, and the beldum he leaves you will be holding a metagrossite.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
No other league related changes - apart from maybe afew pokemon swaps if other gen pokemon are introduced. They are likely to get stronger after beating them a certain amount of times too. say, every 10 battles raises their pokemon's levels by 2-3.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I think he will make a return, but with a more mysterious and serious demeanor. An interesting thought is him having ties to the other professors of other regions, and possibly your Dad. With this in mind , it would be exciting to battle Red-like teams that are owned by trainers that you find in the battle frontier , with each trainer having pokeomon specific to a certain region. As-in, you can battle Red (or someone like him, who has powerful kanto pokemon), or Lyra/Gold witht the same idea for their team.
He will still be the recruiter for the battle frontier, but maybe you have to battle him to earn a place this time?

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
I dont believe rayquaza's role will be prominent, and if he does appear in the story, he will probably only do so to fight/stop the particular legendary. Although, if this path is followed, he would probably use a mega evolution to fight the legend.
He will be found in sky pillar as usual, pst E4.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
- Groudon -
Type: Fire/Ground - Or Maybe Ground/Steel (to do with the core/mantle of the earth containing metal)
Ability: Intense Drought - Increases fire and ground moves power by one stage / Weakens water type pokemon's defense
Signature Move: Terra Force / Ground / Physical / 5pp / 130 power / Sweeps the battlefield, forcing earth to erupt around the opponent
Role: Legendary of Om.Ruby, will be sleeping underground and sought to be exploited by team magma
Megastone: The Red orb will not be the megastone in its current form - i think after the awakening of Groudon, it will somehow modify to be a Groudonite (maybe split open to reveal it?).
- Kyogre -
Type: Water/Electric
Ability: Intense Storm - Increases electric and water move power by one stage / weakens ground type defense
Signature Move: Wave Force / Water /Special / 5pp / 130 power / Batters all opponents on the field wish intense and powerful waves
Role: As above but opposite
Megastone: As above but opposite

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Same as R/S but with some lower gen pokemon possibly. Common game exclusives like magby, houndour,Jynx, sneasel, slowpoke could fit in OR, and elekid, growlithe, mr mime, larvitar, seel in AS.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Most likely, but not too many.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
They will probably stick with some of the same game exclusives that were in D/P and B/W so:
Purugly,Combee, buizel, lopunny, skorupi, scraggy, shelmet, rufflet in OR
Stunky, burmy, shellos, bronzong, croagunk, dwebble, karrablast , vullaby in AS - of course these could be totally the wrong way around or mixed around or whatever...

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Ohh now this gets exciting, there are so many pokemon worthy of a mega evolution in hoenn, lets start:
Swampert and Sceptile - Goes without saying knowing that we have Blaziken already
Sceptile should also gain a secondary type with this, im thinking dark.
Kyogre and Groudon (it seems they have new forms... which then leads to...)
Rayquaza - I think this guy is OP anyway, but him getting a mega-evo will probably be part of the story
Huntail + Gorebyss : These should be version exclusive mega stones
Electrode: Although not hoenn, he needs powering up - his pal magnemite already has Magnezone!!
Relicanth: Good guy, but not noticeable enough to have in my team - this ancient fish deserves a mega!!
Swellow: The lack of uncommon /interesting flying types grinds my gears, so lets spice the starting birds up abit shall we?
Torkoal: Again, has much potential but just not good enough. Fire types should be attackers.
Cacturne: Awesome looking and already a decent mon, maybe a grass type that can finally stand out.
Metagross: Courtesy of Steven.
Spinda: That thing is just a freak.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Sceptileite + Swampertite: One given through story progression, and Birch will give you one more after the E4, the other being available through a vendor, maybe stephen stone.
Huntailite + Gorebite: Abandoned ship (with this area being vastly expanded into an interesting new dungeon)
Kyogre,Groudon and Rayquaza should all come with their mega stones, or be in the area where you battle them
Electrodite: New Mauville - assuming this is also a bigger dungeon
Relicanthite: In an underwater cave that is only accessible through dive
Swellite: An early addition to your items, maybe given on your first meeting with the devon president
Torkalite: Given by an old lady in the hot springs once you have healed a number of times in there
Cacturnite: If the desert is slightly expanded (which i hope it is) an area of cactuses protected by a hoard of cacturne would be a nice feature
Metagrossite: the beldum given to you by steven is holding it
Spindite: It is the prize posession of the soot man, and is only given given once you have had one of every other item he offers - as he cant make any more items for you, but is still grateful for all the ash you have collected! A huff puff!

New areas to be introduced?
An expansion to the route directly above Rustboro city, maybe an island to house a legendary pokemon, or just where rare pokemon appear.
A cave that is blocked until after the E4, that is where the battle tower is in Emerald, and this would house a currently-event exclusive like Keldeo (I really want one!!)
A sub section to rusturf tunnel, an expanded area in general would be nice.
Expanded and in depth area in the Abandoned Ship.
Secret area in Mt.Chimney which opens up post E4, allowing the capture of a Legendary.
Visiting the islands that appear so abundant on the map - it would be a nice post game exploration, possibly with non-3rd gen pokemon there.
Speaking of islands: Faraway Island, Birth Island and Southern Island - Hopefully not ALL events, i dont mind working hard in the game just to get to these places - as events can be quite hit and miss...
And SPACE!! Haha this rumour was so exciting to me when I was a kid - I hope we can go into space (or a successful rocket launch triggers an event) where I can catch a Jirachi of my own :)

Ideas for post-game content?
Apart from what already exists, and what has been mentioned above:
Some missions given to you by the professor to aid his research
Tracking down the remnants of Team Aqua/Magma
Roaming rare pokemon hoards like in B/W

alphsoup May 12th, 2014 9:37 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
-New kids, moved in from the Unova Region, 10+ years have passed since events of original Gen I/III

What role will Wally play?
-Wally serves as an early Fairy-type gym leader in Fallarbor Town, wanting to help inspire young trainers to take the plunge and explore the world as he once did

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
-Steven stands as the head of Devon Corp. after his father's retirement, offering the player the latest in pokenav technology early on in the game.
-Wallace is a regular high-end opponent in the returning pokemon contests, but also serves as a member of the elite four.
-Juan is similiarly a regular in contests, but retains his role as leader of Sootopolis

Will there be any other League-related changes?
-Rustboro city has boomed in the past years with the recent success of Devon Corporation. Cranes transporting heavy loads operate over the sprawling city night and day. Ferries and shipping vessels fill the city's port. People move from building to building going about their busy days. Tailows deliver messages between windows. With the city's rise in stature, the Trainer's School has become a University, with Roxanne residing as Dean on top of her Gym duties
-Brawley, following the surfer's way, has become much more zen-like in the past 10 years. Not enough to stop specializing in Pokemon who punch as a main strategy, however. Little has changed in his sleepy town far away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland
-Watson has aged only in beard length and still his jolly self. His gym now stands on the revamped grounds of the old Game Corner and Mauville City is a menagerie of lights, bikes, ramps and technology.
-Wally, able to overcome his disease at the end of the Gen III games, sets up his gym in the small, quiet Fallarbor town. Inspired by the strength his partners had lent him so many years ago, he had chosen this town so close to the Mt. Chimney ash fields to build his gym so that he might be reminded every day what Pokemon had done for him.
-Lavaridge Town, semi-secluded at the base of the volcano, has found a stable balance between the growth seen in the cities and outlier towns such as Dewford and Fallarbor. The town has increased the the use of its natural hot springs and a small-time Spa Resort run by Flannery's grandfather can be found on the grounds of the once-gym. He and his team of Masquarian, Quagsire, and Emboar can be fought after receiving the 6th Badge for the TM Scald.
-Norman shows some signs of aging, but is otherwise unchanged; he still does his best to encourage young trainers to go to and see the world. A simpler Pokemon Trainer school can be found here as well as many more residential buildings than the Gen III titles
-Winowa has matured and still maintains her role as a strong gym leader. Her city is relatively unchanged and emphasizes the balance of people and pokemon living together in nature despite Hoenn's rapid expansion
-Tate and Liza, now young adults, serve as a foil of peace, tranquility, and stability to the rapid growth and innovation happening on the other side of their island at the Space Center
-Sidney, the showman, is still a member of the E4, but also doubles as the host of Pokemon Contests in his spare time
-Pheobe once again fights as a member of the E4, she is met previously in the game on Mt.Pyre, assisting the player in reaching her grandmother, one of the Orb keepers
-Flannery, after finding confidence in her own skill, followed in her grandfather's footsteps and became a member of the Elite Four
-Glacia continues to serve as an Elite Four Member, but competes in Contests where she can
-Drake stands now as the Champion of the Elite Four, a vanguard protecting the simple love and appreciation for one's own Pokemon against the single-minded masses looking only toward progress. He recognizes that his way of thinking that straight battles, a raw clashes of opposing wills, being better than the pageantry of contests or the trappings of Frontier-style battles, is old-fashioned. But he knows now, more than ever in Hoenn's history, he cannot stand by and allow the values of old fall to the wayside. That is why he, alongside the partners who saved his life, chose years ago to take up the mantle as Champion until such a day he knew the next generation could be trusted. Having explained all this to the player, he challenges them, but not before a big reveal...

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
-Scott, thanks to the explosive popularity of his Battle Frontier, is even more fantastically wealthy. He celebrates this by continuing dress like a sloppy tourist. He has revamped his park in the past few years, turning it into a massive, ocean-locked Vegas parallel. He has heeded the beliefs of Drake, whom he respects, however, and has ensured that the Frontier will never lose sight of what is important

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
-Rayquaza senses the disruption in the balance brought on by Kyogre/Groudon's mega evolution and rushes in to confront and quell the upset in nature. However, unaided against the Mega-evolved Legendary, Rayquaza is overwhelmed and struck down, a testament to the strength and unstoppability of the rampaging legend.
-Upon challenging Drake, it is revealed that he had gone to Rayquaza's aid after it being struck down and, like Drake's Pokemon had once done for him, rescued Rayquaza from certain death. Before the battle with the Champion commences, Rayquaza soars into the room, coming Drake's side. After Drake's five main Pokemon are defeated, Rayquaza enters the battle and, aided by Drake, enters its Mega Evolved form. After being defeated, Rayquaza acknowledges the player and returns to Spear Pillar.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think

— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
-Kyogre: Type-Water/Dragon / Ability-Deluge: Permanent Rain (Like Drizzle used to be) / Sig Move-Undertow: Water, Special, Base 75, Acc 100, Trapping Move that does 20 water damage and holds a Pokemon for 4 turns
-Groudon: Type-Ground/Fire / Ability-Solar Flare: Permanent Sun / Sig Move-Mantle Rage: Ground, Physical, Base 120, Acc 100, Ground attack that also does Fire Damage

— their roles in the games will be?
-After the disbanding of Teams Aqua and Magma, Team Geotic was formed of ex-members of the two teams agreeing to put aside their differences so they might defend the natural state of the planet. Geotic members are pushy, but they strive to prevent pollution and damage to the environment, and over the years they have gained the reluctant acceptance of the people. However, the recent boom in industry and tourism to Hoenn has caused an influx in the introduction of invasive species and rapid changing of the environment, sometimes too quickly for some Pokemon to keep up. Team Geotic attempted to warn the people of Hoenn of the terrible potential such rapid growth could create, but the glee of progress was too addicting and Geotic was scorned for their efforts. Suddenly, hands tied and without public support, Geotic began to loathe the greedy people of Hoenn and sought out the Red/Blue Orb as a last-ditch extreme movement. Geotic alone might not be able to slow the march of progress, but with the enhanced power of the one of the Pokemon of legend, they would have the strength to eradicate it completely: to wash the slate clean, return the land of Hoenn to Alpha, and let life begin anew, or to bring it to finality, to Omega, smite the region of life, and allow what survives to prosper. Either way, only Pokemon could be able to adapt to such an assault on the land, ensuring that humans would never again tread on the natural lives of Pokemon with their lust for progress.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
-The Megastones will probably be some sort of manipulation of the Orbs.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
-The same as the Gen III differences

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
-Yes

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
-The included Pokemon would be primarily those who can survive in average, temperate climates and transition foreseeably easily: Pokemon such as Dedene, Drilbur, Paras, Binacle, and (yes) Trubbish. These Pokemon could parallel the idea of the spread of invasive species. Most of these out-of-region Pokemon would crop up around big-time cities such as Rustboro, Slateport, or Lilycove, cities that would be getting a lot of sea trade and/or tourism from other regions in the Pokemon world. These big port cities would also be host to "traveling" NPC trainers looking to trade their region's exclusives for something unique to Hoenn, say a Baltoy or Spinda for a Scyther or Phantump.
-Of course, noticeably big Pokemon would therefore not join the roster; somebody would take notice if a herd of Tauros or pack of Pangoro just hopped off a ship. "Ancient" Pokemon such as Golurk and Sigilyph would seem out of place just cropping up after so many years as well.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
-Mega Legendaries of course, Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza. Swampert and Sceptile deserve one each if Blaziken's got one. Mega Seviper/Zangoose would be nice additions, and Metagross is begging for a Mega Evolution.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
-In very Easter-eggy type places: one at the bottom of a sea trench, one is a gift from a traveling salesman who always seems to be overcharging the player just noticeably enough for rare items.

New areas to be introduced?
-The sky. Get a chance to explore Rayquaza's realm.
-Space. In the 10+ year gap between Emerald and X/Y, the world has gone from launching shuttles to collecting energy from space and beaming it down to the planet. At the very least Scott could stand to blow some cash on a Battle Satellite.

Ideas for post-game content?
-Fresh new Battle Frontier. Recycle many of the old facilities, but give them a fresh, flashy 3D coat of paint. The Pyramid and Dojo should make a return, but do them up to look like they're on the strip in Vegas. The Seviper building of course needs to come back, but who's to say it's not a Mega Seviper this time around? Give it 9+ Frontier Brains in the end, bring back the classics and add a couple new favorites.
-Contests. Make them awesome, as if we'd actually want to do them. Imagine how great it would be to try to put on a performance in the same way the characters on the show had to. I'd come back for that. It's a great chance to cameo characters too. Mirror B would make the best Pokemon Coordinator.

Yato May 12th, 2014 11:22 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May

What role will Wally play?
Rival; maybe have a bit more of a role than before--in other words, you encounter him more often and get to battle him more than you did in RSE.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Steven as Champion, Wallace as eighth Gym Leader, and Juan as a rival coordinator (i.e., you go up against him in certain contests).

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Nope. Still Sydney w/ Dark, Phoebe w/ Ghost, Glacia w/ Ice, Drake w/ Dragon, and Steven w/ Steel. They will still have the same Pokemon at the same levels for the first battle, but afterward they will have different Pokemon at higher levels.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Yes; he will have the same role as last time, where he's looking for good Trainers who have the potential to take on the Battle Frontier.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
To stop Kyogre and Groudon from feuding.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Groudon and Kyogre will keep their types and Abilities and have no signature moves.
— their roles in the games will be?
Maxie gains control of Mega Groudon while Archie gains control of Mega Kyogre; both fight you with them.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Their Mega Stones will be different from the orbs since the orbs just summon them.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
OR: Seedot line, Mawile, Zangoose, and Solrock.
AS: Lotad line, Sableye, Seviper, and Lunatone.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Yes; however, they may only be found post-game.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Most, if not all the Pokemon not available in XY will be available, and the legendary beasts will be roamers.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Megas Sceptile, Swampert, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Plusle, Minun, Sableye, and Jynx. (And, if you want to count them, Megas Latios and Latias, though that's a given.)

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
In various caves and towns throughout Hoenn.

New areas to be introduced?
Friend Safari and the Emerald Battle Frontier. Can also see Southern Island become a permanent place; perhaps it could work similar to the Nature Sanctuary in BW2 where you need to see all the Pokemon in the Hoenn dex?

Ideas for post-game content?
Again, the Emerald Battle Frontier will make a reappearance. As I also stated previously, Gens. IV-VI Pokemon, as well as Pokemon not initially found in the Hoenn dex, can be found post-game, possibly in the Safari Zone or Friend Safari. Lastly, you'll be able to catch certain legendaries not available before post-game, such as the legendary beasts, the Latis, and Groudon/Kyogre and Rayquaza.

Zeturic May 12th, 2014 12:34 PM

Who will be the protagonists?

Brendan and May, of course.

What role will Wally play?

More or less the same. He might show up a couple more times to fight you, but his role will be the same.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Steven is the champion. Wallace will be the Sootopolis Gym leader. Juan's history as the prior leader of said gym will be referenced, but he will currently be a talented recurring Coordinator in Master-rank contests. Wallace and Juan will somehow share the Cave of Origin role.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

Just an aftergame rematch with different and stronger Pokemon.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

He will keep more or less the same role. He will have more forced encounters throughout the game.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

See below.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think

— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Both will retain their original types.

The two will have abilities that in addition to permanently changing the weather, will also nullify the others' type. As long as Mega Kyogre is on the field, everything will be immune from Ground-type moves. Likewise for Mega Groudon and Water moves.

Kyogre's signature attack will deal Water and Ice damage, and, similarly, Groudon's will do Fire and Ground damage.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

They are their Mega Stones, but they have been damaged. Rather than simply affecting them enough to Mega Evolve them, and only doing so with a Mega Ring, simply being in close proximity will Mega Evolve them and send their powers massively out of control.

— their roles in the games will be?

After Mega Groudon (or Mega Kyogre) have been released, with their powers out of control, the player will need to track down the Jade Orb and Rayquaza, which will stabilize the damaged Red (or Blue) orb.

Then, by taking the Orb to the rampaging legendary, it will be calmed enough to be caught or defeated, ending the calamity.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

Same as before.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

Just Probopass and Magnezone. New Mauville will be the place to evolve them.

While Eevee is not available until the post-game, the Moss Rock and Ice Rock will also be in Hoenn. The Ice Rock will be in the bottom chamber of Shoal Cave (where Snorunt is found), and the Moss Rock will be in the Petalburg woods.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

Mega Latios and Latias are a given. We're also assuming Mega Kyogre and Groudon. Other than that, Mega Sceptile and Swampert, and Mega Rayquaza.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

The Red / Blue / Jade Orbs have already been discussed. The Eon duos Mega Stones will be found on Southern Island.

For the starters, only the Stone for the starter you actually chose will be available, just like XY's Kanto starters. You will receive them from Prof. Birch's Kid after the battle in Lilycove.

New areas to be introduced?

More of the islands in the Southern half of Hoenn's sea will be visitable.

Ideas for post-game content?

Battle Frontier, featuring a combination of facilities from Emerald's and Gen IV's Battle Frontiers.

[This is framed from Alpha Sapphire's perspective. Omega Ruby's would be much the same, but with some details reversed.]

After Team Aqua and Team Magma's dissolution, the old admins from Team Magma get together, and rationalize Team Aqua's failure (ostensibly because of the damage to the Blue Orb) to be due to Aqua's flawed ideals, meaning they, Team Magma, must be right.

The gather a small group of Grunts still loyal to them and start to make trouble as they search for Groudon. However, their own lack of resources mean that, before they can start seriously looking, they have to resort to petty theft. The player stops them before their search can even get off the Ground, with Archie and Maxie both returning to appeal to the Admins of Neo Team Magma to stop all this.

mbrueggy12 May 12th, 2014 12:53 PM

Who are the protagonists?
The Protagonists are going to be the same as the originals.
What role does Wally Play?
Wally will be the strongest trainer at the Battle Frontier.
What roles will Juan, Wallace and Steven fill?
Their roles will be Juan will be the eighth gym leader, Steven will help you at certain points and Wallace will be the Champ.
Will there be any other league changes?
The leagues will be the same as X and Y's but they will have fairy type to make the dragon trainer not as hard to fight.
Will Scott make a return?
Yes and he will tell you what type the gyms are and what types the elite four are.
What role will Raquaza play?
I think he will be caught after gym eight.
If Grondon and Kyoger get mega evolutions the types will be ground/psychic for Grondon and water/fairy for Kyoger the abilities might be new ones like extreme heat (burns all non ground or fire types) and trenching (which slowly drowns all non water or flying types).
The roles might be the same as Emerald the mega stones might be unique for each game.
I think there will be no version exclusives except for Grondon and Kyoger.
will there be gen 4 to gen 6 Pokémon in the wild?
yes and they might let you get every starter on a special island.
The included ones could be any common natives to every region.
Mega evolutions are Swampert and Sceptile.
all starters might hold their mega stones.
New areas might be travelling to Kanto and Sevie islands.
Team Magma and Aqua will not end because they will get revenge on you right after you enter the hall of fame and you have to fight them before the game's credits start.


MachoPony May 12th, 2014 12:53 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
i'd say by default Brendan and May however the option of customisation will still be there (in the same way Serena and Calem are the protags of X/Y but you can customise them)
What role will Wally play?
The second and superior rival same as R/S/E

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Since its R/S i think Juan will either not be in it or else possibly a side character as wallace's mentor, wallace will be sootopolis gym leader and steven the champion

Will there be any other League-related changes?
i doubt it
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
if they include a battle frontier akin to emerald then yes simply as "That Guy" who appears sometimes and says stuff then introduces you to the battle frontier, otherwise no.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Stop Kyogre and Groudon fighting akin to Emerald

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Ground/Fire and Pure Water, Drought and Drizzle, i dont think they will get any new moves on top of what they have.
— their roles in the games will be?
Version exclusive legendary to catch with the other being available post game with rayquaza, being pursued by aqua and magma.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Nah they will keep with "Gyaradosite" and whatnot with "Kyogreite" and "Groudonite"

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Same as R/S so basically Seedot Line, Lotad line, lunatone and solrock etc

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Postgame certainly but otherwise no i think it will just be the standard hoenn dex

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Lati twins are allready confirmed through hackers groudon/kyogre are possibilites and Sceptile/Swampert will likely get ones considering blaziken already has one

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Groudon/Kyogre likely within their chambers and the starters will probably be what it was in X/Y in that you are given one at a point in the story corresponding to your starter and the others can be purchased or found somewhere.

New areas to be introduced?
A Battle Frontier would be nice, other than that nothing is wrong with hoenn.

Ideas for post-game content?
again, BRING BACK THE BATTLE FRONTIER though perhaps different pokemon however maintaining any signature pokemon that they may have had (Cant have brandon without his regis) and introduce perhaps a new area akin to the battle zone in D/P/Pt with other region pokemon and rare items maybe even a Stark Mountain esque dungeon with a legendary inside.

Z25 May 12th, 2014 1:04 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brandon, and may, with slightly new looks, probably a more upgraded emerald one and maybe some customization to them as well.

What role will Wally play?
He will play your true rival but have an updated team, maybe a mega gardevoir also, and have more moments in the story.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Wallace will be the eight gym leader but post game you can fight him and juan in a double battle daily. Steven will be the champion and your mentor in mega evolution.



Will there be any other League-related changes? All members will stay the same but have megas and updated levels.



Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Yes, he will take you to the new and improved battle frontier and maybe if we beat the battle frontier he will let us battle him.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

Rayquazza will either be summoned to stop the main legend by mega evolving or he will just be there post game with a little story to it.


Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions.
Type for groudon: fire and ground. Ability is eternal drought, where it stays sunny until he is defeated. Kyroge: Water and psychic. Ability will be eternal drizzle, where same as groudon he has to faint for the rain to end. We will also find out the orbs are actually mega stones.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Same as the original, but may have newer gen pokemon to, like shelmet and karrablast or pumpkaboo and phantump.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Yes, all of X and y's dex pokemon will show up with hoenn pokemon and a few other non available pokemon in kalos like shellos east and west.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
All of the trademarked pokemon at the moment, and megas for the jhoto starters, the regis, metagross, kyroge, groudon, rayquazza, maractus, masquerin, slaking, warlein, flygon, honchkrow, mismagius, and ursaling.



Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
in key areas to the storyline such as the space center, birch's lab, gyms, etc. Also some new areas post game can have them.

New areas to be introduced?
Yes, like heart gold and soul silver we will see several new areas, most will be minor additions though, except for a few which may hold legends.



Ideas for post-game content?
Add the battle frontier, a new training facility like the battle tower in black 2, pokestar studios, master contests to compete in for doing well in others, and the second region hinted in x and y to make up for no postgame and add more to both game's plots, plus give new mega stone locations and maybe some never before seen pokemon.

Poch98 May 12th, 2014 2:31 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Logically Brendan and May, maybe changed up a little

What role will Wally play?
Same role he did in Gen 3 i think.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan will still be Gym Leader, Steven is the champion and Wallace will probably be in the pokemon league elite four

Will there be any other League-related changes?
I don't really think so

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I do think so. Same as before, he'll introduce the trainer to the Battle Frontier.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
The same as in Gen 3, but well now you'll also have something aobut Mega Rayquaza

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Groudon--> Will probably be Ground and Steel or Fire maybe
Kyogre--> Kyogre will be water and maybe Ice or Ground or something like that.
their roles in the games will be?
Same as before. Token legendaries of Hoenn. Slightly angrier this time in their Mega forms.

- of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
I think the Red and Blue orbs will have much more creative names rather than just Red and Blue, maybe somthing related to their names, or like Omega Stone and Alpha Stone. :P

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Probably you'll get more legendaries from other generations or something, like Entei in ruby and Suicune in saphire

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Yeah, probably, or maybe only after you complete the Pokedex or something

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
All of the starters, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza and maybe like Wailord and Tropius. Probably Glalie too.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
I myself think the same as in Gen 3

New areas to be introduced?
Maybe an extra little area sort of like Sevii Islands

Ideas for post-game content?
Battle Frontier and maybe this extra area (eg. Sevii Islands)

Reject217 May 12th, 2014 2:48 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
May and Brendan will likely reprise their roles, just as the previous remakes.
What role will Wally play?
Wally will probably be like Blue in the original versions, but less of a jerk. He might become Champion, but I think that might be saved for post-game events.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan and Wallace will be the Sootopoli Gym Leader and Hoenn Champion, respectively, and Steven will probably drop hints on how to make the story progress, as well as introduce the player to Battle Tower or, more likely, the Battle Frontier.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
I don't think there will be any other changes to the League.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Scott might be a boss trainer in a Frontier facility.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Rayquaza will be the mediator, again, between to Groudon and Kyogre. But due the antagonist team, they may try to splice Rayquaza with the opposite Legendary.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Mega Kyogre might be Water/Flying, with Hydration. Signature move might be Monsoon, which is the Water version of Hurricane, with base power of 120, 85% accuracy and gains an extra 30 power in the rain, as well as 100% accuracy.
Mega Groudon might be Ground/Fire, with Sheer Force. Signature Move might be Lava Stream. Move is similar to Hyper Beam and Flame Thrower, with base power of 140 and 90% accuracy.
— their roles in the games will be?
Mega Kyogre will flood the whole region, putting every city underwater. Mega Groudon must be used by the player in order to reverse or prevent that. It works well reversed.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
The Megastones will fragments of the orbs, with the Blue Fragment being the Mega Stone of Groudon and the Red Fragment being the Mega Stone of Kyogre.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
It will be similar to the original, with Volbeat becoming exclusive to Alpha Sapphire and Illumise becoming exclusive to Omega Ruby.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Generation IV-VI Pokemon will not be available until after the main story is completed.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Some Pokemon might include Pidove, Bidoof, Drilbur, and Croagunk.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Mega Tropius, Mega Slaking, Mega Hariyama, Mega Mylotic, Mega Relicanth.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
The stones will be hidden around the area in which the Pokemon or it's previous evolution are found. They will be hidden in areas that are only accessible with Dive and Waterfall.
New areas to be introduced?
New underwater areas to search for Mega Stones.
Ideas for post-game content?
Battle Frontier will make a reappearance in the games.

Candy May 12th, 2014 3:58 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May. Chances are though, it'll be three choices like in X and Y. Name's the same.

What role will Wally play?
The semi-rival role like back at RSE. I think something like a post-game battle with him might happen.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan: 8th Gym Leader
Wallace: Champion
Steven: All-powerful final boss

Judging by PWT obviously. WHY IS WALLACE IN THE CHAMPIONS THERE? D:

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Aside from roster change, how the Elite four system will appear like. As in, it won't be the traditional way since we have seen a system where we choose our own order since the past two generations.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
If the Battle Frontier exists, he will return as that random dude that created the Battle Frontier, mcuh like Emerald.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
It will wait quietly and stop the big fight when we ask it.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Their types will stay the same.
Their abilities will stay the same.
Their signature move will be something that utilizes the weather.
seriously, Mega Evolutions doesn't always equals getting a new typing

— their roles in the games will be?
They have a big battle, but by the time Rayquaza appears the other leaves while our version exclusive wrecks havoc around Sootopolis. Don't think they'll even be able to Mega-evolve, but if they're able to, it'll be while they were under their respective team's controls.
this is probably the only scenario I can think of, mixing the two storylines

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
It'll be something their respective team made up from the Blue/Red Orbs. But considering that we can return the orbs to Mt. Pyre, it'll probably be something made up by Team Aqua/Magma. Either way, Team Aqua/Magma has some sort of connection to them.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Obviously what was version-exclusive back at RS, as well as several post-game Pokemon.
But I won't say Kyogre/Groudon as I believe they'll situate it like how they did in Emerald. Plus, HGSS placed in both Ho-Oh and Lugia, so I think they'll do the same too.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
They'll be post-game content. But they'll be available anyway.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Pre-post-game: Pre-evolutions and evolutions of Hoenn-natives.
Post-game: I... don't know. But I believe in Desert Underpass and the other fossils to be available there.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Swampert, Sceptile, Sableye (That poor thing), Kyogre, Groudon, Milotic, Metagross... Meh, I got nothing else.
Also, Jynx.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Maybe like in XY, hidden all across the region or just given to you. But they're all only available post-game anyway.
Metagross' Mega stone will be from the Beldum you got from Steven.
Milotic's Mega stone will be given to you after finding Wallace wandering around Hoenn.

New areas to be introduced?
Hmm... I'm not sure, but there are quite a lot of islands at the south of Hoenn. I'd at least expect some to open up as post-game content.

Ideas for post-game content?
Battle frontier, those random islands at the south...
...Meh, I got nothing.

LividZephyr May 12th, 2014 6:36 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May, but their appearances will be customizable this time.

What role will Wally play?
The same as in the originals - teaching how to catch Pokemon, then two battles.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan won't appear in the game, but will be mentioned a few times. Wallace will be the Sootopolis Gym Leader and Steven will be the champion who is encountered when giving him the letter early on and at the Mossdeep Space Center. He'll still give the player a Beldum post-game, too.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Aside from aesthetics and gym redesigns, no.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Yes, in the same capacity as Emerald.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
He will descend upon Sootopolis a la Emerald and will be catchable after defeating the champion. The boxart legendaries will only be obtainable in the games they are on the cover in, though. Groudon in Sapphire and Kyogre and Ruby will return to their respective caverns, while the other will retreat into the Cave of Origin.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Groudon will be Ground/Fire and will keep Drought.
Kyogre will be Water/Ice and will keep Drizzle.
Neither will have a signature move.

— their roles in the games will be?
None. The Mega Evolutions won't be available until postgame.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
The Mega Stones will be born from the orbs. See below.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
The same as in the originals, plus a few additional ones such as which Fossil Pokemon are available in the Ruin Maniac Tunnel, Finneon/Frillish, Buneary/Glameow, and Yamask/Elgyem.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

Yes. They will only be available post-game in areas such as the Safari Zone extension. Included Pokemon will include Frillish, Kricketot, Cherubi, Darumaka, and all others not obtainable in X and Y except for starters and legendaries.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Sceptile, Swampert, Latios and Latias, Salamence, Milotic, Claydol, Slaking, Kyogre, Groudon

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Professor Birch will give you the one corresponding to your starter for beating the champion. Groudon and Kyogre's will be hidden in the Cave of Origin post-game when you take their orb to where you fought them, and whichever Lati is roaming will be holding theirs by default. The rest will be available at the Battle Frontier.

New areas to be introduced?
None, although I expect parts of the sea routes to be redesigned so it's not too easy to get lost amongst Tentacool.

Ideas for post-game content?
Battle Frontier once again.
Roaming [email protected] once again.
Mega Evolutions will only be available post-game. Mega Stones, excluding those listed in the above question, can be bought at the Battle Frontier with BP.
You will be able to fight your rival (Brendan/May) daily at the Battle Frontier.
You can get a free Johto starter for completing the National Pokedex, as well as the Shiny Charm.

Gregora May 12th, 2014 7:35 PM

Who will be the protagonists? Brendan and May.
What role will Wally play? Still a rival. His Ralts can be male or female and if male, will evolve into Gallade and Gallade will gain a Mega Evolution. He will at least use Mega Evolution for his Gardevoir.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill? Same as Emerald. Maybe some more encounters with them. Steven collects stones and gives you Mega Stones.
Will there be any other League-related changes? No.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as? Of course. He'll have the same job/gimmick as in Emerald.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be? Telling Groudon and Kyogre to calm the eff down. Aka, same as in Emerald.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

Signature types: Ground/Fire for Groudon, Water for Kyogre.
Signature abilities: Permanent respective weather patterns. What Drizzle and Drought once were.
Signature moves: Mega Groudon would get a move which would dry out water (like a ground/fire type Freeze Dry, something like Evaporation), Kyogre would probably have a water/life themed attack.
Roles?: Beating the crap out of each other, or try to.
Mega stones: Yep, Red/Blue orbs.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be? Groudon and Kyogre will no longer be exclusive, but one will be catchable sooner than the other. There will probably be more fire/ground types in OmegaRuby and water types in AlphaSapphire.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? Only in the new areas they include.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded? There would be some added Fairy stuff.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced? Groudon, Kyogre, Gallade.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden? Red/Blue orbs for Groudon and Kyogre, Wally/Steven gives you the Mega Stones for Gallade/Gardevoir. Or Wally gives you the Mega Stone for the Kirlia evolution he doesn't have.
New areas to be introduced? More islands. More shipwrecks. More underwater areas.
Ideas for post-game content?Islands, shipwrecks, buried treasure hunts, Battle Frontier.

Winter Wonderland May 12th, 2014 8:39 PM

Who will be the protagonists? - Clearly, Brendan and May
What role will Wally play? - I believe he will play the role he always has; however, I believe he will become the champ after beating the Elite Four the first time.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill? - I believe Juan, Wallace, and Steven will play the roles they have already; however, I believe Steven to have something to do with the Space Station in his city of Mossdeep. <3
Will there be any other League-related changes? - Other than a beautiful graphical rework, and post-game buffing, I don't believe so.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as? - I feel as if he'll allow "submissions" to record battles or movies to be made available for download through some in-game network.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be? - a moderator between Groudon and Kyogre, of course. Need to keep those two in line.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be? - Kyogre = Water/Psychic, an advanced form of Heavy Rain, and something that changes the arena to a complete water-biased place Groudon = Ground/fire, and opposite of Kyogre's abilities.
— their roles in the games will be? - They get awoken, and the respective evil teams expose them to the stones to try and amplify their effects.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else? - Now, I think they'd be engineered by the Team Magma/Aqua scientists in anticipation for the awakening.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be? - Skarmory, Tropius, Absol, Baltoy, and Solrock/Lunatone, and Cacnea.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? Of course, just post-game. Method similar to the Hoenn/Sinnoh sounds in HGSS
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded? Starters will be excluded from the wild; however, most of the fan favorites will be included in the wild, including Honedge line. <3
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced? - Hopefully, the starters + the legendaries. I also believe that the Regis will receive a mega evolution, as well as Salamance and Milotic.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden? - the Space Station will have something to do with the distribution, as they discover them occasionally with their satellites. They'll send you on randomized expeditions for various stones, once a week.
New areas to be introduced? Of course, THE MOON.
Ideas for post-game content? Visiting the moon, something to do with that dreadful white rock. Also, the battle tower should have something integrated with multiplayer support, maybe conquer the tower with a buddy, or have player sanctioned tournaments. That'd be rad. The Regis could make for a REALLY sweet post-game story, if done properly, also something to expand on Mirage island with; that'd be super cool. Maybe some caverns giving us the origins of the Wynauts, I mean, because why not?

JoJoMasta May 12th, 2014 9:47 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
= You would think that it would be May and Brendan. But No! It should be May's Kid and Brendan's Kid! You should be able to change their appearance just like in X and Y!

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
= I think you should have to collect mega stone shards and bring them to someone to put them back together. For a fee of course.

New areas to be introduced?
= This would be so cool! Like being able to travel to Johto! And some new islands which represent: Fukuoka, Oita, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima.

Ideas for post-game content?
Meeting the protagonist from Johto and battling him and Meeting professor Elm (I feel he was forgotten). Maybe a new battle style?

Nurse Joy May 13th, 2014 12:31 AM

This is really long, so it's in a spoiler.

Spoiler:
Who will be the protagonists?

Brendan and May! The opposite gender trainer is still your rival, but is more like Lucas/Dawn -- they are rarely, if ever, battled, and appear to give helpful items (like HM Fly) and tips about where to go next. You can also change your clothes. The PokeMarts will be changed to Boutiques and the Marts will be integrated into the PokeCenters. Brendan/May will have a starter that is weak to the one you chose.

What role will Wally play?

He'll be your rival! He'll battle you most of the time. Not every time you see him, of course. When he gets his first Pokemon, Ralts, Norman gives him a starter that is strong against the one you chose. After catching Ralts, Norman lets Wally keep it. He'll definitely show up after the League, also. He'll probably be waiting to battle you at the Battle Frontier instead of Victory Road.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Juan won't be the leader, he'll be a Contest Coordinator, the owner of the Contest Hall and whatnot. You can talk to him after a contest and he'll tell you about whether the audience liked you and what you can do better and whatnot. He will also give you accessories if you complete accomplishments, like winning 10 contests and stuff. He appears in Master Rank contests. He also appears around the Hoenn region to give advice, and often in the Fan Club! Steven will be the Champion, and Wallace will be the 8th gym leader, like it should be. Wallace will tell you about Groudon/Kyogre like he always has, and Steven will as well, appearing around Hoenn like he did in the originals.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

The trainers will not change. The Pokemon League will change aesthetically. You can also choose which member you want to battle first.

The Rooms of the Pokemon League:
Glacia: An icy cave with some training equipment within. There will also be numerous shelves filled with Pokemon Goods (her strategy is to rely on items).
Phoebe: Spooky like Shauntal's room, resembling a haunted house, with a few gravestones here and there. It will have stuff related to the history of Hoenn in it (her grandma is the old lady at Mt. Pyre).
Drake: filled with dragons like the ones in Opelucid gym (BW or B2W2) and the elder's house in the Dragon's Den, as well as having decor reminiscent of sailing and the sea, since he's a captain
Sidney: A dark battleground surrounded by torches. It will be based upon a battleground-stadium-colosseum type of place (he loves to battle)
Steven: steel walls and steel bookshelves and steel tables, among other steel decor. There will be a battleground in the center of the room. The room will be FILLED WITH STONES!! :D Sort of like Lenora's room, how she had all those research materials everywhere. They will mostly be in glass cases, but there will be a few on desks and shelves, like he's studying them.

There will be better Gym puzzles Different than the originals, of course. Everyone knows how to solve those!!

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

Of course! But he will be the same as in Emerald. He will be the manager of the Battle Frontier. He will appear every so often. He will have something to do with how famous you are (and how many fans you have) similar to how you can be famous and stylish in X & Y. If you tip him, you will slowly gain more style and fans at the Battle Frontier, at least.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

More expanded upon than in R & S, but not like E. Rayquaza will appear when Team Magma/Aqua awakens Groudon/Kyogre. It will send it away like E, but to the area you can visit in the postgame, which will contain the Terra Cave in OR and the Marine Cave in AS. After the League, what's left of Team Magma/Aqua (after Maxie/Archie left) will come back and try to get Groudon's/Kyogre's power by using the Red/Blue Orb respectively, causing them to Mega Evolve. You can battle and capture them after this.
Rayquaza will only appear at the Sky Pillar after the League when you bring the Jade Orb, whether you caught Groudon/Kyogre yet or not. The Jade Orb can be found underneath Mt.Pyre, where it was kept safe in the crypts. The legends say if it was disturbed, terror would rain from the skies. Kyogre and Groudon would soon awaken, and Hoenn would be thrown into chaos. The elders of Mt.Pyre commend you for your bravery and take you blow Mt.Pyre and gift you with the Orb, believing that you can calm Rayquaza's wrath forever with it. They are also afraid a villain would steal it...

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think

— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Groudon: Type: Fire/Ground.
Ability: Drought
Signature move: Raging Earth or Earth's Rage or something/10 PP/100 Power/95% Accuracy/Phys. A strong Ground-type attack that can also cause a burn 30% of the time.
Kyogre: Type: Water/Flying or Water/Dragon (Kyogre doesn't really need another type, but to keep it somewhat equal with Groudon, it would have to have an extra type. It can't be Water/Ice because that typing has too many weaknesses, especially when compared with Groudon).
Ability: Drizzle
Signature move: ??????/5 PP/150 Power/90% Accuracy/Special. The user gathers power on the first turn and releases it to summon a giant wave on the second turn.

— their roles in the games will be?

After Rayquaza makes Groudon/Kyogre run away from Sootopolis, Steven makes you give him the Red/Blue Orb, which he returns to Mt. Pyre. Unbeknownst to you, what's left of Team Magma/Aqua soon steal this Orb from Mt. Pyre. They then proceed to use it on Groudon/Kyogre, which it will be holding when you catch it, making it yours. The Orb of the other color was returned by Maxie/Archie after the events in the Hideout and Sootopolis.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

Yes, the Orbs are the Megastones. Groudon's Mega Stone is the Red Orb, and Kyogre's is the Blue Orb. Rayquaza's Mega Stone is the Jade Orb, but it can't Mega Evolve. Yet.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

Omega Ruby: Groudon, Seedot, Nuzleaf, Shiftry, Mawile, Zangoose, Solrock, Growlithe, Arcanine, Minun, Illumise, Duskull, etc.
Alpha Sapphire: Kyogre, Seviper, Lunatone, Sableye, Lotad, Lombre, Ludicolo, Vulpix, Ninetales, Plusle, Volbeat, Shuppet, etc.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

Not until after the League. They will all be available in the new, postgame areas which are similar in size to the postgame area in DPPt and the Sevii Islands combined.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

IDK, but Regigigas will definitely be in there. There are too many to list!! Many Pokemon, however, will still be exclusive to X & Y, such as Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde, for starters. There will only be about ~70 extra Pokemon in the new area. About ~50 can be found with the PokeRadar all over Hoenn and the new area.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

Kyogre, Groudon, Swampert, Sceptile, Delcatty, Exploud, Sableye, Wigglytuff, Whiscash, Spinda, Kecleon, Tentacruel, Starmie, Luxray, Donphan, Ninetales, Arcanine, etc.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

Firey Path (Ninetales/Arcanine), Underwater, Scorched Slab, Victory Road, Meteor Falls, Route 119, Mt.Pyre, Petalburg Forest, Battle Frontier, etc. Steven Stone will also give you a few. Juan will give you Delcatty's stone if you can win any Master Contest with any Pokemon. There will also be an excavating mini-game in that one dude's house in Fallarbor! It'll be like finding spheres in the Underground, but you can find items and Megastones! Megastones will be very rare, though. They might also be broken up into pieces, maybe? And you have to take them to Steven Stone's house to be put back together.

New areas to be introduced?

  • The Berry Field in X & Y will return next to the Berry Master's house on Route 123. The patches of dirt all over Hoenn will be replaced with large Berry Trees. Berries can again be created through mutations, and more berries will be available than in X & Y. PokeBlock berries will be able to be purchased in the Lilycove Dept. Store in large quantities for Berry Blending. Some berries will have to be transferred from X & Y, and some berries will have to be sent to X & Y due to their unavailability in those games.
  • The Battle Frontier will return with more land, some sort of Island Chain or small region where more Pokemon can be found and fun can be had. Bigger than the Sevii Islands but smaller than Kanto. Similar in size to the postgame area in DPPt plus the Sevii Islands. This whole area will collectively be called the Battle Frontier. There will be a few new towns here, as well as some caves and forests. There will be some islands near here, where the Terra/Marine Cave can be found post-game. The Battle Frontier will be on a new map like the Sevii Islands were. It'll probably be to the South-East. The other islands around there might become other towns and stuff. The Trainer Hill can be relocated to where the Battle Tower/Frontier was originally. Instead of modifying the trainers and layout with e-Cards, this can be switched from the Dream World (much like how C-Gear and PokeDex skins were for BW and B2W2).

Ideas for post-game content?

  • Gym Leaders and Elite 4 members come to your Secret Base. Secret Bases can be won from NPCs similar to a turf war. Various achievements, such as gaining $999,999,999, will unlock new furniture. Friends can come to your Secret Base just by trading or battling them over the PSS rather than having to mix records. Other players can be invited there to do activities together, similar to a Union Room. Secret Bases of famous Pokemon players and other people can be downloaded from the internet, where you can battle those players and trade set Pokemon (They will trade you a Steelix for your Pikachu, etc. and it is not randomized). You can also download other players' Secret Bases from the PSS in place of watching Trainer PR videos. If that trainer's base is in the same place as yours, the location of the other player's base will overwrite an empty or NPC base somewhere else. The little boy in Mossdeep who knows the location of your base will tell other people about your base if you give him complete some sort of quest for him (give him an item, battle him, trade him a Pokemon, give him money, etc.), and this will cause famous people such as the Elite 4 to eventually appear at your base.
  • Battle Tents will return.
  • Contests will return.
  • The Battle Frontier will contain new areas, as well as more facilities. The facilities will be Battle Tower, Castle, Arcade, Factory, Palace, Pyramid, Dome, Arena, Pike, and Hall. There will also be more Battle Tents with different rules and a Battleground, where gym leaders can be rebattled.
  • The PSS will include the Entralink and the Dream World. From the Entralink, you can play missions with people all over the world through Wi-Fi rather than Wireless connection. You can play missions with Acquaintances and Friends, but you can only visit the worlds of Friends. The Dream World will return, where you can once again find special Pokemon and items.
  • Medals can again be collected in-game.
  • More Legendaries will be available post-game! Latias will be roaming Hoenn in AS, and Latios will be roaming Hoenn in OR. You can see their locations from the PokeNav. The Golems will reappear, and Regigigas will awaken after they are all captured. Deoxys and Jirachi will be events. Manaphy will also be an event. Heatran will be found deep within Mt. Chimney. Suicune will be roaming if you chose Torchic, Entei will be roaming if you chose Treecko, and Raikou will be roaming if you chose Mudkip. It'd make sense for Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres to be researched by the Weather Institute, but they were in X & Y so it'd be overkill. If they weren't in X & Y, postgame one of them would be wandering around depending on your starter, and the Weather Institute tells you where they are. They accidentally angered one of them while studying it, and now it's causing chaos. Articuno will roam around and bring snow if you chose Torchic, Zapdos will bring thunderstorms if you chose Treecko, and Moltres will bring harsh sunlight if you chose Mudkip. There will also be many event Pokemon! They can only be unlocked through events, though. Jirachi will be waiting next to the white rock (the girl will say,"my wish came true!), Deoxys will be found in space (the space station will take you there), Darkrai will be found on the top of Mt. Pyre (just because), Manaphy will be found on the beach in Lilycove, Victini will be found in some abandoned house somewhere, Mew will be found on some island somewhere, Shaymin will be found in a secret area that can be reached through Rusturf Cave (after it's unlocked through an event), Meloetta will be given to you by some lady in the Contest Hall, Genesect will be found in the abandoned Magma/Aqua Hideout near the coast of Lilycove, and I don't know about Diancie, Hoopa or Volcanion.
  • The Vs. Seeker will return so trainers can be battled again and again. The Battle Chateau will return and take the place of the Trainer Hill on Route 111. Trainers registered on the PokeNav can call and request a rematch as well.
  • The PWT will make a return and include trainers from Kalos.



Other changes:
-Make Secret Power TM43 again and make it like it was in Gen III - different for ALL terrains.

I'd like to add more later.

Adore May 13th, 2014 12:35 AM

Who will be the protagonists? Brendan and May. Probably with updated outfits and/or designs.
What role will Wally play? A rival in addition to a supporting character, much like in the original games. Maybe with the addition of a Mega Gardevoir during your battle with him in Victory Road.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill? Since these are RS and not Emerald remakes, Wallace will probably be the leader of the Sootopolis Gym, and Steven will be the Champion. Juan will either not be included or will appear as a supporting character at some point in the game.
Will there be any other League-related changes? Based on Game Freak's track record with remakes (I'm using FRLG and HGSS as reference), I think they'll want to stay as close to the originals as possible. They might make level/moveset alterations, though.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as? If the Battle Frontier is included as post-story content, he probably will return to fulfill his original plotline.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be? Probably the same as RS. To cease the fighting between Kyogre and Groudon.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be? I don't see their types changing, but I could see them getting abilities to take advantage of Drought and Drizzle, like Solar Power, Hydration or Swift Swim. Or maybe abilities unique to them that take advantage of the weather.
— their roles in the games will be? Probably the same as RS. The evil team wants to control them to reshape the world to their image, and it's the protagonist's job to stop that from happening. I could see some awesome fights with Archie/Maxie battling the player with Mega Groudon/Kyogre, or at least unleashing them on Hoenn for you to fight later.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else? I think their mega stones will be separate from the Red/Blue Orbs. The Orbs are meant to awaken and control them, but based on what we know about them they don't give Groudon and Kyogre any additional power.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be? Whatever the originals were.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? They'll probably be available in areas you don't get access to until after the main plot of the games.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded? If there are any included, there will probably be a good mix of common and uncommon ones.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced? Doubt there will be any other than Mega Groudon and Kyogre. Maybe Rayquaza will get one to keep up with them.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden? Mt. Chimney for Groudon and the Seafloor Cavern for Kyogre.
New areas to be introduced? Maybe more underwater areas to explore. If they take advantage of streetpass for secret bases, there may be a building that lets the player wander through them (kind of like Animal Crossing's Happy Home Showcase).
Ideas for post-game content? I really hope they bring back contests, secret bases, and the original Battle Frontier. They were so much fun!

Tahcryon May 13th, 2014 4:41 AM

Who will be the protagonist?
May and Brendan
What role will Wally play?
I'm going to assume that he will be used for the Pokemon catching tutorial, and fights against him will occur more often. In his final battle against you, he will use a Mega Gardevoir, along with a Gallade. He'll be in Ever Grande City after you beat the Elite 4, and will allow you to battle him every day.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan will be the gym leader of Sootopolis in Omega Ruby while Wallace will be the gym leader in Alpha Sapphire. Steven will be the champion, and he'll also have a post-game fight, like in Emerald.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
You will now get the option to take on the Elite 4 in any order you wish. Gym Leader's and Elite 4 Members' teams will be editted to have new Pokemon and items from the latest generations. Steven would use a MegaMetagross or a Mega Aggron during his fight against the player.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
A character that randomly shows up, giving you items such as a PokeRadar and Vs. Recorder, and also to tell you about the Battle Frontier.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Most likely the same as in the originals.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Mega Kyogre is pure-water with an ability which is basically an infinite-Drizzle, which lasts more turns and decreases the power of Fire-type moves more, with his signature move being some extremely powerful water-attack which only works while it's raining. His moveset could also include Thunder to take advantage of the rain.

Mega Groudon could be Ground/Fire with an infinite-Drought, with his signature move being a powerful ground-type attack.
— their roles in the games will be?
Same as before, the evil teams want to control them and take advantage of their powers.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
I'd say that instead of Red/Blue orbs being used, Kyogrite and Groudite would be used instead of the Red/Blue orbs.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Omega Ruby would have Seedot, Magby, Solrock, Vulpix, Groudon (And their evolutionary lines)
Alpha Sapphire: Lotad, Starmie, Lunatone, Politoed, Kyogre (And the rest of their evolutionary lines)
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Of course. Most of them from the beginning, then you'd unlock a few more more awesome ones post-elite 4...Sort of like the Pokemon Outbreaks in BW2.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Most of the ones that were unavailable in X/Y will be included, not sure about the ones that would be excluded though. Manaphy/Phione and Regigigas will definitely be in. To access Regigigas, you would need to have all 3 Regis in your party, as usual.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Mega Sharpedo, Mega Camerupt, MegaSwampert, MegaSceptile, MegaTentacruel, MegaShiftry, MegaExploud, MegaNinetails, MegaMetagross, MegaRayquaza, MegaLatios, MegaLatias.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Metagrosite would be a held item on the Beldum Steven would gift you. Swamerite/Sceptite would be given to you by Steven as well. Rayquazanite would be an item in Rayquaza's chamber. The professor would give you an Exploudnite, Ninetailite, or Shiftrinite depending on your starter. Sharpedonite and Camerite would be on a gift Sharpedonite/Camerite (Sharpedonite in AS, Camerite in OR) inside the respective team's HQ. [email protected] will be given to you by your father.
New areas to be introduced?
-A "Distant Land" which you can only travel to after catching every Pokemon in the National Dex.
-A small building which would allow you to go to someone else's Secret Base.
-Restaurant and Hotels from X/Y, a few barren islands that would be used for future event Pokemon.
-A new City which is unlocked Post-Elite 4.
-An area where you can plant and harvest berries, like in X/Y.
-Join Avenue!
Ideas for post-game content?
-Roaming Beast Trio
-The Regi trio, but this time they don't require you to solve those annoying puzzles.
-Ability to battle the gym leaders again, who use lv85~ pokemon, right after beating the Elite Four. Would provide a nice challenge. Beating them all again could maybe provide a 2nd Master Ball?
-If your secret base is good enough, gym leaders or Elite Four members could visit your secret base and give you an item.
-Options to buy more stuff for your secret base.
-Mega Stone Master, who would give you rare Pokemon when you bring a Mega Stone to him.
-The ability to battle your rival every day
-Contests
-The ability to get one of the Johto Starters after beating your rival in a Post-E4 battle.
-Oval Charm for seeing every Pokemon in the National Dex
-Shiny Charm for catching every Pokemon in the National Dex.
-Kanto region to explore again, sort of like Kanto in GSCHGSS.

Aeiji May 13th, 2014 5:49 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Most likely May and Brendan if they decide to keep true to how the other remakes have gone.

What role will Wally play?
Wally could possibly play a stronger rival role. He didn't have that many appearances in the games before so maybe there will be more to his side of the story and he'll make more appearances.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan could most likely be the 8th gym leader, Wallace the champion and steven fills in the ultimate trainer role in the game like Red in HGSS as it was in emerald version.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
There will now be a puzzle created by the trick master that you need to get through before you're able to go inside and battle the elite four and the champion.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
He most likely will, once again to let the trainer know of some place where elite trainers battle it out. (battle frontier) I'm hoping that the battle frontier will be updated and look even better than before.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Rayquaza will once again fill the role of being the one being that calms Groudon and Kyogre. This time however, there will be more lore in the game speaking of Rayquaza.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Kyogre will recieve an ice type added to it and their signature move will be a variation of stone edge. The move has giant chunks of ice appear from the ground that deal damage and hurt a pokemon being switched in like in stealth rock. Groudon will recieve a rock type added to his current ground type. His signature move will be a variation of blast burn or eruption. The move will cause chunks of rock and lava to hurt the other pokemon and burns the other pokemon, if they can be affected by a burn status.
— their roles in the games will be?
Their roles will be put against each other, like in R/S/E team magma and team aqua will be trying to get one of the pokemon to try and take over the world in their own way.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Kyogre and groudons mega stones will involve the red and blue orb respectively, but there will be another item needed to complete their mega evolution. That item will be found in the tower where Rayquaza sleeps.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Latios and Latias, one for each game. Maybe they'll also have vulpix in one and growlithe in the other. Also, there could be a Deoxys event for one version and Jirachi event for the other but both will be able to recieve the mew.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Yes they will
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
All will be included except for some of the starters in the other games.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
A mega evolution for deoxys, rayquaza, kyogre, groudon, tropius, and several others.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
The mega evolution stones will be hidden throughout the lands, one of them being on mirage island for Rayquaza.

New areas to be introduced?
The moon (will explain in the next question.) The battle frontier the area will be larger and there will be a jungle area around there where pokemon like tropius and aipom can be found.

Ideas for post-game content?
Some kinds of islands like the sevii islands in FRLG. There also could be a place like the fighting dojo in HGSS where you can go and battle the gym leaders once again, whenever they accept.
Also, they could add space. There could be an event where you are able to board the space ship and go to the moon. There you are able to find deoxys, or jirachi depending on the version game you choose. The moon will have a variety of mazes that all lead up to what looks like an abandoned town of sorts. In that town you will be able to find deoxys/jirachi.

Liberal Army May 13th, 2014 6:23 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May, but with a new look.

What role will Wally play?
Same as in RS. He can be battled in Victory Road every day (postgame) and he gives you the Gardevoirite.

Wallace stays Gym Leader, and Steven stays Champion.
Juan can be found on a new island (post game). He can be battled, tells about his past life and gives you the Miloticite.

Only the teams. Syndey has Mega Absol, Phoebe has Mega Banette and Dusknoir, Glacia has Mega Walrein and Froslass, Drake has Mega Altaria and Steven has Mega Aggron.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Yes. He still seeks trainers. He now gives items such as Power Band, Vs.Recorder and Choice Scarf.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Same as in RS during mainstory line; nothing. In post game however, you're going to find him along with Drake. When you found him at the roof, Drake raises the Jade Orb, which turns into the Rayquazite.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

Mega Groudon (Ground/Fire), Drought ability, new move 'Magma Flow'. OHKO move.
Mega Kyogre (Water/Psychic), Drizzle ability, new move 'Tsunami'. OHKO move.

— their roles in the games will be?
Same as in RS. But when they are in Cave of Origin, their Red/Blue Orb mutate into Groudonite and Kyogrite. You battle them as their Mega Evolutions.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Their Blue/Red Orbs mutate into their respective Mega Stone.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

wolfemblem May 13th, 2014 7:12 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
--- May or Brendan with character customization.
What role will Wally play?

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
--- Steven- champion
--- Wallace- 8th gym leader
--- Juan- seen at various contest halls, and will compete in the master level contests.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
--- probably pokemon changes.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
--- same as emerald
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
--- as the peacekeeper between groudon and kyogre.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
--- groudon- ground/dragon; drought; a new move.
--- kyogre- water; drizzle; a new move.
— their roles in the games will be?

Who will be the protagonists?

Brendan and May. They will be customizable, but they will be still Brendan and May. I know that Game Freak changed female character in HG/SS, but unlike Crystal, Ruby/Sapphire is not a third release.

What role will Wally play?

He will be your rival. He will also catch Ralts during capture tutorial. Except, he will appear more often than just... uh... twice. And he will have his own music theme. And he will have some small side story of his own. He will be most similar to Hugh, from existing rivals. I'm almost sure he will also have Mega Ring.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Juan will appear as Battle Frontier boss, Wallace will be Sootopolis Gym Leader, and Steven will be champion. I'm sure that they wouldn't want Juan to disappear (he was in B2W2, after all), but fans want Steven as a champion. Therefore, he will become Battle Frontier boss.

Edit: Recently, information about Steven Stone being interested in mega stones were released. I'm sure I noted that, but it appears I didn't. I mean, it's obvious that Steven Stone would interested in Mega Stones. Sometimes I forgot about obvious things... Still, I consider Steven to be champion, because I obviously knew about that, I just forgot about it while making the prediction (honestly).

Will there be any other League-related changes?

Roxanne will have Geodude and Nosepass. Geodude will have Rock Head as an ability. Nosepass will have Sturdy. Geodude will be level 13, and Nosepass level 16.

Brawly will have Machop, and Makuhita. Makuhita will be holding Sitrus Berry. His Makuhita will be level 20.

Wattson will have Voltorb and Magneton. SonicBoom will be replaced with Volt Switch. Magneton will have Mirror Shot instead of Shock Wave. The final Magneton will be level 25, and have Sitrus Berry. He will give TM with Volt Switch, and Thunderbolt after New Mauville quest.

Flannery's Torkoal will get White Herb, which will allow it to spam Overheat, and it will have rather arbitrary Flail replaced with Sunny Day. The mons will have higher levels.

Norman will get his own battle theme (see Korrina for prior art). First Norman's Slaking will be replaced with Spinda. Norman's Vigoroth will become Linoone. Slaking will hold Sitrus Berry. The Slaking will have Giga Impact (when you have Truant, recharge moves aren't any issue), instead of lol Focus Punch. He will also have more importance for the story. The mons will have higher levels.

Winona's Altaria will have Sitrus Berry. She won't have Pelipper anymore, because of X/Y three mons limit. The mons will also have higher levels.

Tate and Liza. Wow, this. I honestly hope they would not have just two very similar mons. Making predictions here is rather unsafe. They wouldn't remove them, and they wouldn't make this battle a single battle. But for a good double battle, they would have to have four mons. This is seventh gym, and while they didn't do it in X/Y, they will have four mons, to be exact, something similar to their Emerald team. The official format appears to be three Pokémon for singles, and four for doubles anyway.

Wallace. Yes, I assume the gym leader is Wallace, which isn't that obvious, considering Emerald's changes. Considering my previous risky assumption that previous gym leader should have four Pokémon. Honestly, they surely must have noticed the X/Y is too easy, so I'm going to assume Wallace will have four Pokémon (yes, it's a crazy prediction). Seriously, Champion has six Pokémon, so the player is better prepared for the final battle. Anyway, he won't have his Luvdisc, and all Water Pulses will be replaced with Scald (you may have noticed how many water TMs are in the game - two, to be exact - Scald is practically confirmed, because why Gym Leader would give Rain Dance, which most likely will be in Abandoned Ship instead). The levels will be increased.

The Elite Four won't change much, aside of level changes.

Champion Steven will have Mega Aggron, and slightly increased levels of everything. This also means the Aggron will be the final Pokémon, not the Metagross. However, the Metagross will be also highly leveled, which is normally property reserved for final Pokémon. Steven will also appear before Ever Grande City on few occasions (just like Lance, Cynthia or Alder), and will give Mega Ring once.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

Yes, he will return, and have the same role as in Emerald. No real changes here. Oh, and I assume Battle Frontier to exist, I think that Game Freak doesn't want to risk not having it.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

Well, considering sneak peek looking like the Rayquaza's cutscene from Emerald, I assume the Rayquaza will be needed to calm Kyogre and Groudon. But even considering that, it's still Ruby and Sapphire remake, not Emerald remake, you won't get to catch Rayquaza before defeating the Champion.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?


First of all, their abilities. I assume they will be permanent version of Drizzle and Drought. Let me explain. You will battle the Mega Kyogre and Mega Groudon during the plot, in similar style to Black/White Kyurem in B2W2, during final battle with evil Team Magma/Aqua Boss (which is more evil than in Ruby/Sapphire). The legendary will be possible to capture post game. You won't be able to capture it. It would be anti-climatic if the sun or rain would end during the battle. The types will stay, they wouldn't want to confuse fans who played original Ruby and Sapphire.

Considering that Soul Dew is not a Mega Stone for [email protected], I would assume Red and Blue Orbs aren't Mega Stones. That would get confusing, as the description would have to hide the fact it's Mega Stone, which could be too confusing after capturing Kyogre/Groudon. Instead, there will be two new items called Kyogrite, and Groudonite. You can guess what they do (hint: they mega evolve).

As for signature moves, they won't get any new signature moves. The original post mentioned them, but honestly, I'm almost sure they will want to make this compatible with X and Y.

But seriously, this question assumes they are mega evolutions. I honestly think that "Mega" Groudon, and "Mega" Kyogre aren't in fact Mega, but new formes (the "never before seen Pokémon" is the same terminology that was used for Kyurem's formes, and mega evolutions are too predictable), just like Kyurem Black and White. This would make them compatible with X and Y, without having to update the game. Forced updates for local trades is something I think Game Freak would prefer to avoid.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

I'm going to mention entire evolution families, even if I mention just one here. It wouldn't make much sense otherwise, because you can breed or evolve. Also, for [email protected], I ignore Southern Island event, which most likely will exist.

Omega Ruby: Seedot, Mawile, Zangoose, Solrock, Groudon, Ledyba, Slowpoke, Pinsir, Shieldon, Dialga, Latios, Buneary, Aron, Dratini
Alpha Sapphire: Lotad, Sableye, Seviper, Lunatone, Kyogre, Spinarak, Seel, Scyther, Cranidos, Palkia, Latias, Glameow, Electrike, Larvitar

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?


Yes. Magnezone, Rhyperior, Gallade, Probopass, Budew, Roserade, Dusknoir, Chingling, and Froslass.

But seriously, they will appear, but only in post game, after defeating the Champion. Too many to count however, so I'm not going to give over half of Pokédex.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

Latios and Latias. Mega Blaziken will stay event-only.

Edit: I'm going to leave the original prediction, to not cheat. However, Mega Sceptile, Mega Swampert, and Mega Diancie were confirmed (I'm seriously surprised on Mega Diancie, but whatever), which opens the way for more Mega Evolutions (if those would be compatible with X and Y, then more would be too). So, the prediction is Ancient Rayquaza (if not in this game, then in Delta Emerald), Mega Latios, Mega Latias,

Edit #2: Ignoring starters (which are known), I predict Latios, Latias, Kecleon, Jynx. Plusle and Minun don't seem likely... actually no, I'm going to predict them too, because that's exactly crazy. So, Latios, Latias (XY hacks), Kecleon, Jynx (trademarks), Plusle and Minun (yes, I know, it's crazy, but it's funnier when the pair is more unbalanced).

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

Southern Island. They will be held by event Latios and Latias.

Edit: The starters mega stones will be given by Steven Stone.

Edit #2: Jynx will be in Icefall Cave (or if Sevii Islands won't be in game, Shoal Cave). Kecleon will be in Scorched Slab, because it's not that it's used for anything real anyway (and it's close to their usual location). Sunny Day can be moved to the Department Store anyway. Plusle and Minun will be in New Mauville, and exact stone will depend on the version.

New areas to be introduced?

Sevii Islands, which will include many species of Pokémon which aren't in the Hoenn Pokédex. The Sevii Islands will be also expanded, and will have in particular the location to get Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina (Dialga and Palkia are version exclusive, and Giratina requires both Dialga and Palkia). Also, Mt. Ember will host Heatran, not Moltres. The team Rocket's HQ won't exist on the island, but you will see Team Aqua/Magma's HQ instead.

Friend Safari that will look exactly like in Pokémon X and Y because Game Freak is just lazy.

Ideas for post-game content?

Uh, Sevii Islands. I believe I mentioned all in new areas. Well, there is Battle Frontier, and Safari Zone will include new Pokémon. What more you need, you have Sevii Islands. And, uh, Gym Leader rematches.

Iceshadow3317 May 13th, 2014 8:09 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
May and Brendan same as the first ones.

What role will Wally play?
I don't think he will play a big role. Think he might just be a small rival like he was.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan will be 8th Gym Leader, Wallace will be the Champion, and Steven will be a wandering trainer, possibly the one that tells us about Mega Evolution.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
No, maybe a slight changed in their teams.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Yes, He will tell us of the Battle Frontier.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
To stop Kyogre and Groudon from fighting. And to get his own 2 Megas or at least 1.


Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— Fire/Ground or Ground/Dragon for Groudon. Ice/Water or Water/Dragon for Kyogre.
— A more epic battle between one another.
— It is possible for the orbs to be their mega stones, or a different type of mega.


What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Mawile, Sableye. and a few others.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Yes. I would say only a few at the start, but I think most will be available after E4. I think we will be able to catch most of all of them with in the game.


What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Sableye, Metagross, Sceptile O. Sceptile A, Swampert, Groudon, Rayquaza, Kyogre, Raichu.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Depends on the pokemon, the will be scattered around the game, my guess, one or two will be found on Mt. Pyre and one on Fiery Path and on Mt. Chimney

New areas to be introduced?
Most definetly, I would say a few large areas or a few islands.

Ideas for post-game content?
Battle Frontier, Legendary Pokemon Hunting, Contests.

Strawberry Mint May 13th, 2014 9:57 AM

Who will be the protagonists?

May and Brendan, they will likely have updated looks a la HGSS or FRLG.

What role will Wally play?

Same role as before, but with more appearances possibly? He just disappeared for large parts of the original games.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Most likely the same roles they played in Emerald, similar to how Eusine and Suicune played big roles in HGSS like they did in Crystal, despite those games being Gold and Silver remakes.

Will there be any other League-related changes?

I imagine there will be many gyms updated into puzzles that better suit a 3D engine.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

The same role he played in Emerald, that is to say, barely anything.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

He will probably play the same role as he did in Emerald, but perhaps not pushing Kyogre and Groudon to the side as much. These are their games, after all.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Types will probably stay the same.
Any change to their abilities would probably make them less viable in battles, so possibly no change?
Signature moves - Something that compliments their current abilities.

— their roles in the games will be?
Omega Ruby will have a greater focus on Groudon and the drought he causes
while Alpha Sapphire will have a greater focus on Kyogre and the widespead flooding and rainstorms he summons.


— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
It is likely their megastones will also be the orbs.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Groudon will be caught in the main story of OR
Kyogre in AS

The other Hoenn exclusives will be the same as in the original RS.


Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

They will likely not be available in the wild, at least not until post E4, perhaps at a place like the Friend Safari, or be available in the Safari Zone.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Legendaries exclusive to previous versions (BW/2, XY) will be excluded.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Sceptile and Swampert are very likely candidates, it doesn't seem balanced for just Blaziken to get one.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Some underwater, perhaps?

New areas to be introduced?
Perhaps they will have some extra islands to explore like in FRLG. There are unused islands on the current Hoenn map.


Ideas for post-game content?

More Battle Frontier attractions. Lots more secret base items for more personalization perhaps some could be won at the Battle Frontier. Maybe there will be a PWT type attraction at the Battle Frontier.

Steven May 13th, 2014 11:48 AM

I'm going to say two new ones so they can more easily include multiple races. Or maybe May/Brendon will be the white choice.

Probably something to do with the discovery of mega-stones for his Gardevoir.

Steven? Mega-stones
The other two? Gym leader/supporting characters.

Besides slight team changes I doubt it except for to incorporate newer Pokemon.

I don't think so. Maybe a small side-story in the frontier.
Quote:

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Similar to the one in Emerald so it's just not sitting there doing nothing like in R/S.

Abilities, types, and moves all the same. Moves don't change with megas at least not yet. Their roles will just be to portray angrier Groudon/Kyogre. I'm going to go with their megastones are the blue/red orb.
Quote:

OR- Groudon AS- Kyogre
Quote:

I think they'll do something similar to what they did in HG/SS. Make them rare..needing special things to encounter a lot of them.
Quote:

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
I think so.
Quote:

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
They'll probably find a way to make it so they are everywhere. I can imagine some kind of event where they find out megastones are similar to the virus that created Deoxys. Crashed down on a meteorite and evolved with certain Pokemon. A meteor crashed down in Hoenn and spread megastones throughout Hoenn for Hoenn Pokemon. That's just an example of something they could do. IN-GAME DEOXYS EVENT PLZ

Of course!
Quote:

Oh god there are so many. Let's just hope for another sub-region. I mean..all the remakes have had a second region..kind of.

Shiny Quagsire May 13th, 2014 1:15 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May, don't see any reason for this to change if it's a remake.

What role will Wally play?
I personally think he will become a more prominent rival in OR and AS, still posing a few "easy" battles in the middle while still keeping the "WTF Wally how did you get this friggin party?" ending. Maybe a bit more character development, but not to the point where he's entirely different.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I personally think that Wallace will be the 8th gym leader and that Steven will be the champion (like it was originally), while making Juan a bit of a close friend to Wallace. I could definitely see him assisting with the whole weather disaster, and maybe even a few side battles.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
I don't think they'll be modifying the league too much, mostly because there's not much to modify.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I think Scott will remain in the game, but instead of having all the Battle Tents all over the place they'll go back to the old contest system. So Scott will basically just do his periodic checkups every now and then.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
I think what will end up happening is that there will be both Groudon and Kyogre, similar to how Emerald works, but instead of being able to find both you end up only finding one of the two. So Rayquaza will still intervene and stop the fight, and he will still be up on his giant perch.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

I think the Mega Stones will become a more prominent thing in this game. Before, the orbs were used to awaken both Groudon and Kyogre, so if these orbs are in fact mega stones then logically the mega stones would react and possibly awaken the two monsters if it is within contact. I also believe that the mega evolution will be what ends up making the disaster more of a disaster, since their powers will only become stronger while Mega Evolved.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Pretty much everything same as Ruby and Sapphire. Not much reason to change it.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

I personally think that this one will be a yes, and through the Safari Zone like Emerald. Obviously there's not too much reason to add these pokemon though since you can transfer them up but I can definitely see them throwing in a few here and there.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Sabeleye, because Mawile got one, Skarmory, Claydol, Flygon, Grumpig, Aagron, and possibly Castform.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
I'm predicting that they will be hidden similar to X and Y, where instead of being in their environment they'll just be, well, hidden. If I were to pinpoint locations, I'd say in the Meteor Falls, Magma Hideout, Aqua Hideout, Underwater, and My. Pyre.

New areas to be introduced?
The two islands on the bottom corner of the map. It always bothered me that Battle Frontier was suddenly one of those islands but none of the others were introduced as formal islands. I personally would like to have the bigger V-ish shaped one be a large jungle with a lot of different Gen Pokemon existing in it. Either that or a post-game event item with a legendary of sorts.

Ideas for post-game content?
I'd say a reintroduction to the Sevii islands since they are very unlikely to remake Fire Red and Leaf Green (although they are definitely welcome to do it), Faraway Island (with an event item to get there), The old battle frontier (which was the best), more secret base items (maybe from Wi-Fi events), and more secret areas that existed in Hoenn kinda like how Emerald did them. Emerald was the best at making you reconsider the fact that there could be more to explore than you initially thought, and it was amazing.

MarioManH May 13th, 2014 5:42 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May. The game is said to be a remake so we should assume they will be the protagonists since in past remakes, the protagonists matched their past counterparts.
What role will Wally play?
I think he will play out as a 2nd rival. We have seen an occurrence of 2 rivals for a while now (R/S/E w/ Wally, D/P/P w/ opposite gender, and in X/Y with all of your friends from your starting town.).
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I find that they will line up more with the anime.
Juan - He will retain his Gym Leader status from Emerald.
Wallace - With contests coming back, he will be a notable "Contest Master". You can probably battle him post-game as well.
Steven - Filling a similar position as Adler did in B/W , he is the champion but he roams around a lot.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
Like I said with the protagonists, it's probably going to retain what it had in R/S/E. Also the league was the best league out of any so it has no reason to be changed :) .
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Scott will probably return in either one or both of these:
Battle Frontier Manager - Basically the same position he held in Emerald. He scouts the Hoenn region looking for strong trainers to compete in the Battle Frontier and you cross him a couple of times.
Pokemon World Tournament "Manager" - Kind of like above but it pertains to the PWT. Then after you beat the E-4 he sends you an invite to compete in it.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
I believe Rayquaza will be the link that Aqua/Magma will use to gain access to their corresponding legendary. Rayquaza will be the "key" in order to find/awaken the legendaries. Then in the story the main character must fight through sky pillar (As in fight the opposing team up the tower) up to the point where you find Archie/Maxie "take control" of Rayquaza and then fly off.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
I think Kyogre will maintain it's Water type and ability (Drizzle) as that it's what makes it what it is. Kyogre will then obtain a new Water-Type move (Possibly like the Elemental Hyper Beam but w/o the recharge). However, with Groudon, it will become Ground/Fire and maintain it's Drought Ability. Also like w/ Kyogre he will get a new Fire-Type move that may be as strong as the Elemental Hyper Beam.
— their roles in the games will be?
They will be the main goals for their "corresponding team" . They will end up fighting after Archie/Maxie release them with Rayquaza. Then the player must defeat the team leader, and then capture Rayquaza in order to neutralize the fighting. Then you can capture Groudon/Kyogre post-game.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
They will be the Red/Blue Orbs, but they will be a Key Item and you have the ability to turn the orbs "on" and "off".
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
OR: Seedot Family, Mawile, Zangoose, Solrock, Groudon, Heatran, and Dialga.
AS: Lotad Family, Sableye, Seviper, Lunatone, Kyogre, Manaphy, and Palkia.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? No, the region should maintain a kind of "neutrality" until post-game where you unlock new areas, such as the Sevi Islands.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded? Post-Game you will be able to find Pokemon from the regions based on which Sevi Island you go to. (Ex; Kanto on Island 3, Johto on Island 4 etc.)
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Most likely Hoenn Pokemon will be the only Pokemon seen with new Mega Evolutions. These include: Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Shiftry, Ludicollo, Zangoose, Seviper, Lunatone, and Solrock.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
They should be hidden in areas that you have to dive for. This will give more purpose for the HM then just accessing certain areas like Sootopolis City.
New areas to be introduced? The Sevi Islands (Not really new, but to Hoenn games) will be introduced, where you can capture other region's Pokemon. Also new areas will be created for Manaphy and Heatran, which will be wanted by Aqua/Magma in order to use them as mediums to gain control of the Sea/Land. Also and island will be created that has X/Y Pokemon and on that island you will meet Professor Sycamore who explains Mega Evolution and this is where you get your Mega Ring. Also new ruins for Regigigas.
Ideas for post-game conten
Like I said above, the whole Manaphy and Heatran ordeal. Also you will meet Cynthia who will tell you about the legendary Pokemon of her region and tell you that she thinks some of them are resting in Hoenn. Then in OR you can capture Dialga and in AS you can capture Palkia. Also after you capture the Regis and talk to Cynthia, she will take you to a new area which are ruins and then you can go through a dungeon then fight Regigigas. I explained the whole Sevi Island thing above, and then on the Sevi Islands you will meet Professor Oak (Which will be more of an Easter Egg kind of a deal). Also they will add the islands that had Mew and Latios/Latias. And on the island with Latios/Latias you are able to get their Mega Stones.

The style of the rooms the leaders are in and battle styles

He will want to challenge you after becoming the champion of the elite four
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
He will try to control the chaos caused between Groudon and Kyogre

Team Magma and Aqua gain control of Groudon and Kyogres megastones, to use
the more stronger of the two, Groudon and Kyogre will face off in an Alpha and Omega battle

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

the area
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Mega evolutions for Swampert and Sceptile. Salamance and Flygon
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

The Battle Frontier and and a trainer will give you one
New areas to be introduced?
And island created specifically for newer generation Pokemon
Ideas for post-game content?
As every Pokemon game receives, an event Pokemon to boost
an ideal of the feel of the game

FangOfDrknss May 13th, 2014 7:50 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
Brendan and May will be the protagonists, since GameFreak has only revamped one other Pokemon game on this magnitude, which was Pokemon HeartGold and Soul Silver. Those two games had kept the protagonists, Ethan and Kris(Who was revamped into being Lyra), but had revamped their outfits, so it's safe to say the same will happen for this full remake. Since the 3ds/2ds is a more capable engine than it's precedessors, Game Freak will likely keep the customization they introduced in Pokemon X and Y, which will only help entice people besides from nostalgia for those who grew up with third gen.

What role will Wally play?
Since fifth gen's debut, the role of the third Pokemon neither the player or the rival chose, has been fulfilled by another rival the player will encounter in-game. Wally will likely play the third role for this, keeping his sickly condition, which will only show him growing as a character who tries to overcome his condition. He hadn't really filled the role of a second rival in the original version, having only a Ralts the first time the player battles him, and that was after the player was on their way on getting the Dynamo badge. The second time had been near Victory Road, where he finally gets a full team, and later more rematches with him.

Those were only two battles, and did not give Wally a proper ending, compared to the four battles with Brendan/May, along with closure they had concluded their journey. Wally, on the other hand, told the player he was still going to continue training on Victory Road, where the player will still find him after conquering the pokemon league. With this new remake, there's hope Wally can do better, tag-teaming alongside the player, like Hugh from fifth gen is a likely possibility. He can also be the "actual hero", like in the Percy Jackson series, where the antihero/antagonist was revealed to be the true hero of the prohpecy.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan was not introduced until Pokemon Emerald, where he tells the player he has stepped down from his position as a Gym Leader to give Wallace a chance. This will likely stay the same until a third edition of this full remake happens, meaning besides a few possible advice for Wallace since he's a new gym leader, then he will serve as a contest rival for the player, in order to cater to that portion of the fanbase. Wallace will keep his position as gym leader under the teachings of his mentor Juan, who as previously stated, will be seen giving advice. As for Steven, being a collector of stones, he will likely introduce the stones from Kalo, along with being the champion of the region, since he had only stepped down from the position in Pokemon Emerald. It is very likely his Metagross will have a Mega Evolution, being his signature Pokemon.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Being only full-remakes, the set-up for gym leaders will be the same, besides improved puzzles for the player to solve. Sixth gen hadn't given any of the gym leaders and Mega Evolutions, but it is likely some of the trainers they've hired will have one or two for the player to battle against. Roxanne will definitely be more of a challenge though.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Although he hadn't been introduced until Hoenn, if GameFreak was going to do a full remake, it would make sense to include him as well. He will be the promoter for the battle frontier just like he had in Emerald, and will gauge the player's progress on their journey, might even point them in the right direction. He will also cater this portion of the fanbase interested in the battle frontier.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Since GameFreak hasn't introduced a third version of the game to go alongside Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Rayquaza will only be seen at the very end of the game. Due to the player having possessed the blue/red orb before the antagonist team were able to, it will be up to Wally to travel to Sky Pillar and awaken Rayquayza, who will manage to stop Groudon and Kyogre once again, with a Mega Evolution/form if needed.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Typing shouldn't change, since none of the current 18 will give them resistance to each other plausibly. Other than increasing their stab, abilities will remain the same. Signature moves will involve their natures as legendary Pokemon, with Groudon dealing with something dealing with land mass, and Kyogre the sea or clouds.

— their roles in the games will be?
They will fight each other like their first battle, as evident by the short trailer GameFreak demonstrated, where the antagonists will cheer on their mascot, even if one of the teams will be without an orb due to the player.

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
No, their Megastones would not be the red/blue orbs. Sixth gen has made it clear Mega Evolution was not meant to be permanent, so to go along with the theme Kalos has set up, the megastones will likely follow partly the name of the legendaries. Kyogre's will be Kyogrite, and Groudon's will be Groudonite.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
The original versions exclusive Pokemon were miniscule compared to what the original versions of Gold and Silver had. Due to the abundancy of Pokemon nowadays, GameFreak will likely add in the original version exclusives, along with Pokemon that had appealed to the original. Grass, Dark, Steel, Normal, Psychic, Ground, Fire, and Rock for Groudon. While Water, Grass, Dark, Ghost, Poison, Rock, Psychic, and Water for Kyogre.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Yes, a portion of the Mega Evolutions found in Gen 6 will be available to catch in the wild. Along with that, keeping in mind Hoenn's rural ecosystem, Pokemon like Donphan will be found in the wild as well.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Likely Mega Evolutions will be of the three starter Pokemon, the legendaries, Metagross, and Sableye. There will surely be others, but these are preferred.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Besides being all over Hoenn, with secret bases getting revamped, some will perhaps be found underground in new areas.

New areas to be introduced?
Underground areas to go with the revamp to secret bases, with New Mauville being expanded to accomodate this. Battle Frontier will be more expanded than it had been, along with areas that can contribute the portion of contest lovers.

Ideas for post-game content?
There was a reason why Ruby and Sapphire were one of the best selling games after their debut. Third gen had provided things such as Secret Base, Battle Frontier, and Contests, which appealed to a variety of different bases. With X and Y releasing Pokemon Amie, along with customization, this full remake can only get better with more side-plots. Being able to catch Rayquayza will definitely be one of them, along with several other Pokemon, but most of the sidequests dealing with obtaining Pokemon will be left up to trading.

edavis707 May 13th, 2014 8:28 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
I doubt they would get rid of Brendan and May, but they could possibly add more characters to add variety, and we also might see customization with outfits like in X and Y
What role will Wally play?
I think that Wally will have a bigger role in the story, possibly meeting you in more places, unlike the few encounters in the originals.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I don't think that Juan will be in the remakes because he was only in Emerald, and no one ever really liked him anyway. Wallace will have the same role as the Sootopolis gym leader. And I think that Steven will be the champion again, but will also have a lot to do with mega evolution. I mean he IS a collector of rare stones.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
Yes, I think that all the gym leaders will get more backstory in the remakes, because we never really learned much about them in the original games. Also, I think that the gym layouts will be completely different like in HG/SS, and the leader's teams will be more challenging.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
No, I think that he will be replaced by the O-Power guy, or just taken out. He never really served a good purpose.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
I think that Rayquaza will have its own event in the post-game, as well as the same role it had in the originals.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
their types / abilities / signature moves will be? I think their types will stay the same, but I think it would be cool (and OP) if Groudon got Solar Power and Kyogre got Swift Swim. As for signature moves, I don't think they will get signature moves though, because there wasn't any data found in X and Y to indicate that.
their roles in the games will be?
I don't think that the roles will change, because I think that the story will be mostly the same.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
I think that's a good possibility, because it would actually make the orbs make sense, when the whole concept was kind of random in RSE
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
I think that they will be the same as in the originals, except possibly Zangoose and Seviper if they want to put the Zangoose/Seviper horde in this one.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Only in swarms after you beat the Elite 4
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
I think that Groudon, Kyogre, and the Latis are givens, but I also believe that Rayquaza and the other 2 starters will get megas. And judging by the trademark registrations by Nintendo, mega Plusle and Minun are very possible.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
I think that the Groudon/Kyogre stone will be the orbs. Rayquazanite will be given post-game during his event I predict. Latiasite/Latiosite will be version exclusives given after catching the respective one. The Plusle/Minun stones will be distributed by an event. And the starter stones will be given sometime during the story based on the chosen starter.
New areas to be introduced?
I think that there will be a big area in outer space. I would be surprised if they didn't do this because there's a space center in Hoenn, and two alien legendaries from third gen come from space, Jirachi and Deoxys. It would be a great way to include those two in the game, and would add really good new content to make the game feel new.
Ideas for post-game content?
In addition to outer space, I believe that the Battle Frontier will be brought back, and it will have the same buildings as in Emerald. It will also have the move tutors we all know and love from B2/W2, and possibly a place to battle characters from other games like the PWT.

I have very high hopes for this game, and I would probably be willing to spend twice the price if all of my predictions come true.

Seth Rollins May 13th, 2014 8:45 PM

Who will be the protagonists?

Well, they said "new adventure!" and it hasn't been confirmed it's a remake, so, for me it is two different protagonists.

What role will Wally play?

Wally...will be the champion ;)

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?

Wallace or Juan will probably be gym leaders, and Steven on the elite four. One of them may not appear at all or will have a minor appearence (kind of like Cynthia in BW)

Will there be any other League-related changes?

Yes, as I said, I think Wally will be the champion. As for the pokemon, they may change one or two and add mega evolutions.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?

The same role as before! He will be the one who mentions that Brendan and May were such great trainers!

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?

The same role as Emerald, obviously.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

I think they should have their own move, just like Zekrom and Reshiram have.
— their roles in the games will be?
The same role as Ruby and Sapphire
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
Yes, Blue orb for Kyogre and Red orb for Groudon, and Green Orb for Rayquaza too!

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?

Same as Ruby and Sapphire, with a few Gen 4,5 and 6 Pokemon added.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?

Yes, probably, but a few.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

I don't think I can answer that, but let me give a few suggestions:
Starly,Lillipup Patrat, Bunnelby...

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?

Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Sceptile and Swampert to complete the trio, Mightyena should get one, and Salamence too.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?

Red,Blue,Green orb the same place as before. And maybe there will be some dude that will sell them.

New areas to be introduced?

Yes, maybe some new mini region, kind of like Orange archipelago and of course, the new player's town.

Ideas for post-game content?

Travel on a new region, if not, PKMN Trainer Brendan/May ;D

AzzyFox May 13th, 2014 11:39 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
I believe it will be Brendan and May, as per Ruby and Sapphire.

What role will Wally play?
Wally will reprise his role of secondary rival, though I get the feeling he will appear more often in the story in these remakes.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
I think they will have the roles that were given to them in Emerald; Juan will be the Sootopolis Gym Leader, Wallace will be Champion and Steven will be the post-game superboss.

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Much like Heart Gold and Soul Silver, the Gym Leaders and Elite Four ought to have Pokemon from other regions in their teams when you return for rematches.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
Scott will have the role he had in Emerald, occasionally passing by and observing your progress, then inviting you to the Battle Frontier.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Heart Gold and Soul Silver had shades of Crystal's plot in it. I have a feeling that Rayquaza will play the same role he did in Emerald as the enforcer of peace between Groudon and Kyogre.

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

Groudon and Kyogre ought to retain their typing, but Groudon gaining a Fire subtype wouldn't be a stretch if they do receive Mega Evolutions. They could serve as a symbol that only a friend to nature can harness their true power. I could definitely envision the Blue Orb and Red Orb functioning as their Mega Stones, but I believe they won't; I do believe that they will bear some sort of connection to the Mega Stones, however.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
They'll be the same as they were in the original versions. Omega Ruby will have Seedot, Zangoose, Solrock and Latios. Alpha Sapphire will have Lotad, Seviper, Lunatone and Latias.

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

One of the primary reasons for the creation of these remakes is to present an opportunity to catch Pokemon that aren't available elsewhere. I don't think Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will have wild Pokemon from later regions living in Hoenn, but I do think that free trade between these remakes and X and Y will exist, allowing the gap to be bridged in a different way.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
Mega Latias and Mega Latios have been revealed by the same person who revealed Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion. The remakes of Ruby and Sapphire would be a great way to introduce them.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
I think you will be given the Mega Stone for Latios or Latias by an NPC after you capture one of them.

New areas to be introduced?
Plenty. Fire Red and Leaf Green introduced the Sevii Islands, which seem to blend together styles from Kanto and Johto. Heart Gold and Soul Silver gave us Route 47 and a peek at Sinjoh Ruins, implying that Johto and Sinnoh share a history as well. The Hoenn region is massive and there is plenty of room to introduce new areas to explore. Maybe it will share a history with Kalos in some way.

Ideas for post-game content?
The Battle Frontier, obviously. The Safari Zone's post-game area in which you can capture foreign Pokemon ought to return as well. I have a feeling there will be more surprise minigames and whatnot added in as well.

Altair May 14th, 2014 2:47 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
May and Brendan!

What role will Wally play?
Friendly rival.

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Just like Emerald, Juan will be the 8th gym leader, with Wallace as the returning champ and Steven Stone as the 'ultimate trainer' ...

Will there be any other League-related changes?
Change of their teams roster perhaps. Double battle rematches with gym leaders makes a return, maybe a sky battle with Winona and an inverse battle with Liza and Tate as well.

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
I believe he will, he'll be looking for strong trainers to invite them to the battle frontier.

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
Calming Groudon and Kyogre, ending the weather disaster (Drought/Flood).

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
— their roles in the games will be?
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?

I don't really believe they're going to be mega evolutions, but different forms instead. Alpha and Omega form respectively.
That being said, if I had to assume the above I reckon that they'll keep their types.
As for abilities, Groudon will obtain Mold Breaker and Kyogre will have Hydration.
The evil teams will probably use them against the protagonist. After either one has been defeated (depending on version) Archie/Maxie will lose control of Kyogre/Groudon as it returns to its normal form and flees, causing the weather problem (drought/flood).
I think they'll stick to how they usually name the stones (Groudonite and Kyogite).
The orbs are just used to 'control' them.

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
The legends of course, as well as Seedot/Lotad, Seviper/Zangoose, Solrock/Lunatone, Sableye/Mawile and probably 4th, 5th and 6th gen Pokemon (post game).

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
I'd say they would be available in the Safari Zone after you become champ, as well as in-game trades. If they do include new post game areas then it would be likely you'd find some there.
They may introduce an item or field move or other method of finding wild Pokemon post game, like using the Sinnoh/Hoenn sound in HG/SS.

— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
Just a handful from each I guess, common Pokemon are likely to be available like Starly, Bidoof, Shinx, Pidove, Lillipup, Patrat, Bunnelby, Fletchling, etc.
Perhaps some rares as well as pseudo legends will also be available like Axew, Gible, Larvitar and so on.
Also, I'd like to add if they the other gen Pokemon appear in the upgraded Safari Zone, they'll most likely be the ones you'd find in the Great Marsh in D/P/Pt and 'exotic' Pokemon you'd find in Gen V and VI like Hawlucha for example.

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
I believe only Latias & Latios will have Megas.

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
They may be given by someone significant, Steven Stone perhaps...

New areas to be introduced?
Expanded Safari Zone, extra content in maps compared to GBA versions I guess, not sure what they'll add different. They'll definitely add on the Battle Frontier though.

Ideas for post-game content?
Looker missions, Safari Zone, Battle Frontier and Team Rocket!

PseudoAlias May 14th, 2014 10:43 AM

Who will be the protagonists?
ruby and sapphire aka brendan and may (most likely you can customize them)

What role will Wally play?
he will be a rival again that helps you on your quest. maybe be healthier this time

What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
steven could be like lance (except the whole champion thing) and is trying to stop team aqua/magma respectively. juan is still gym leader of sootopolis gym while wallace is the champion still

Will there be any other League-related changes?
besides the league maybe having new pokemon, i don't see anything being changed

Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
yes, as the battle frontier man again with better prizes

What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
maybe if you have both kyogre and groudon you can activate an event where rayquaza can be obtained. or you find him like zygarde in an area you can only go to after beating the elite 4. maybe even an deoxys event to get either him or deoxys

Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?

kyogre - type: water/ abilities: drizzle|sea aura/ signature move: tsunami or hydro shot
groudon - type: ground|fire/ abilities: drought|lava aura/ signature move: giant claw or power blast

— their roles in the games will be?
team magma or aqua will most likely being using them to try and summon rayquaza or take over the hoenn region

— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
i think they will stick with the whole "ite" at the end of the pokemon's name (ig groundonite
& kyogrinite)

What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
the legendaries obviously but they might do what they did with the starters from x/y and let you get one of the regis depending on who you picked. latios/latias depending on game as well

Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?

they will probably do what they did with heartgold and soulsilver and add minor pokemon from the other regions but you can only get them once you obtain the national dex and are only in certain areas like islands with special events. the 1st 20ish pokemon from the regular pokedex from gen IV - VI

What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
the latios/latias megas, new starter megas (swampert & sceptile) a mega deoxys (maybe the 5th form)

Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
the area you find the legendary and starters are given to you by professor birch after an event happens

New areas to be introduced?
the new region the backpacker in x/y was mentioning about

Ideas for post-game content?
islands or areas where you can get later generation pokemon. travel to new region like in gold, silver, crystal, heartgold and soulsilver to face new gyms and elite 4/champion. mountain/cave/island with powerful trainers and main trainer at top (like red)

Mr.Dogey May 14th, 2014 1:18 PM

Who will be the protagonists? I think the protagonists will be a younger relative of Brendan and may. The second could be the child of either of the original protagonists. Or even maybe another one of Normans kids.
What role will Wally play? I think Wally could be a new gym leader and have it be a mixed typed gym.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill? I think they wont have a huge influence in the game but instead make cameo appearances.
Will there be any other League-related changes? Either brendan or may could be champion, or even wally could be one of the elite four.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?I dont think will be a major part of the story maybe just like the first game, to like give you thinks and keep an eye on you.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be? It would be awesome if rayquaza was captured or he was turned evil because of forced mega evolution.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
I think thy will get new signature moves when they mega evolve, like groudon could make a meteorite hit the other pokemon. I think the abilities will be completely new. I think groudon will become fire/ground. and kyogre could become water/ice
their roles in the games will be? I think they will be used to help with rayquaza being captured or turned.
of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
I think they will mega evolve when you have both the orbs and the megastones. Version exclusives could be minor unless they add pokemon from different regions.
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild? Yes
— , if so what Pokemon will be included/excluded? Im thinking certain fire types could exclusive to ruby and water types exclusive to sapphire
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?im hoping that the starters will get some, I hope the legendaries just have different forms instead of mega evolutions because they would be op.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden? I think maybe they would be in meteorite falls for groudon and somewhere in the ocean for kyorge.
New areas to be introduced?New region hopefully, or maybe a set of islands like in firered and leafgreen.
Ideas for post-game content? Extra side stories afterward, like latios and latias, or deoxys and jerachi could have their own little stories afterwards.

jan_susi May 14th, 2014 2:28 PM

Who will be the protagonists?
May and Brendan.
What role will Wally play?
Rival who lurks around every corner, this time with gardy as an even bigger threat.
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
Juan the water gym leader, Wallace the Champion, Stephen the janitor and Steven the post-E4 powerhouse.
Will there be any other League-related changes?
After beating them for the first time, they will get more pokemon, stronger ones and held items.
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
As the recruiter for the Battle island (frontier). He'll be checking up on you from time to time, giving you hints and maybe even medals.
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
To tell Kyogre and Groudon to CALM THE F*?K DOWN!!!
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
Mega Groudon: Fire/Ground - Solar power with a new fiery solar beam ; Mega Kyogre: Water/Dark - Swift Swim and an attack that's like Draco meteor, but water.
— their roles in the games will be?
The same as before. Only with more power. They will probably fight and then Maxie and Archie in each version respectively (Ruby - Maxie, Archie in Sapphire) bring the mega stone to turn the odds in their favour and with the mega stone the pokemon beats Rayquaza and faces the trainer while berserk.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
They will be Red/Blue Orbs with the respective backmark of the pokemon on them, along with a "mega evolution insignia" on top in a light transparent colour.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
Groudon/Kyogre, The Lati twins, Poochy/Houndour, Salamence/Garchomp, Manectric/Ampharos
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
Some before the national dex for the game to be balanced, most after obtaining it.
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
incl. a lot of gen VI pokemon, excl.: other gen starters
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
The rest of the gen III starters, Metagross, Magnezone, Arcanine, the 3 regis...
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
Mt. Pyre, in the hot spring, the underwater regi cave with the braille...
New areas to be introduced?
A friend safari additional to the already existing safari. A bigger battle frontier. Added islands (like the sevii ones for FR and LG). PWT.
Ideas for post-game content?
Looking for leftover magma/aqua members. Maybe find a hidden *insert a team from a different region here* base somewhere and you must help root it out. Helping Rayquaza back on its feet. After catching all the Regis you can catch gigas in the underwater cave (with the braille). After catching gigas, the lake guardians could show up in the regi original caves. Collecting all 3 could get you an audience with Dialga/Palkia (depending on your game) and if you had both of them (caught in Hoenn) in your party, you can go to the same location (the place with Rayquaza) and catch Giratina.
