The Moving Truck
Everyone probably remembers starting their first game in RSE and getting thrown off by the scene of the player in the back of a truck full of boxes. Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald were the first and only Pokemon games to not begin with the player in their bedroom, and so I pose the question: Will the truck come back in ORAS, or will they resort to the more uniform option of starting in the players' room? |
You'll start in the back of the moving truck with the roller skates on, so you'll slide about and it will be an even worse and more dangerous experience than riding in the back of the moving truck in the original.
In all seriousness, I hope this returns, but with the graphical improvements I hope it makes a bit more sense. Riding in the back of a moving truck with all those boxes is dangerous; the boxes aren't even secured down! Just make it look more reasonable, and I'd be happy. But regardless of whether they change it up or not, I can't imagine them removing it--there's really no other way to start RSE. You did just move to Hoenn. You could start in your room, go downstairs, and see the Pokémon moving your stuff around, sure, but that doesn't really feel the same, convey as much information, as starting in the moving truck. That's just how new you are to Hoenn--if it was just you starting in your room, with the moving Pokémon below, you could theoretically have been there for a few days already. But starting in the moving truck? Those are literally your first steps into Hoenn, into a whole new region, and you're already off on a new adventure! |
I liked the addition of the truck to RSE. It was something different and made the introduction to Hoenn more exciting. I can't see them taking it out at all and making you start in your room; if they do, it's their loss for not making the trucks and boxes in 3D.

A big question should be asked...
WHY THE HELL YOU START AT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK? CAN'T YOU LIKE BE WITH YOUR MOM OR SOMETHING OR ATLEAST INFRONT OF THE TRUCK? I DONT GET IT :< But yeah, Kinda stoked to see the moving truck in 3D even if it is for a few seconds :) |
I found the truck scene to be like someone taking you into a room blind folded than removing it. It me anticipate Hoenn even if the scene was only a few seconds long.

Maybe its cause there's someone driving it and your mom is taking the front seat? I honestly have no idea why they'd stick their kid in the back, though. I don't see why they would change it, since there's no reason to really do so. |

But yeah, some notions I just thought off haha :) |

But yeah, can't wait to see it. I hope the camera angle is in 3rd Person View (like the one in Glittering Cave) |

Well, what I want is the truck to have a bigger size, and space inside.
There's something else I want though. CAN'T THE PLAYER JUST HAVE THE SHOTGUN!? |
Since there is no sense in setting the clock anymore,
I think the truck will return, but then your mom will talk and talk, then you head over to the route instead of going upstairs. |
I personally think that the truck may return, but with the opening cutscene when the truck stops at the player's house. I'm not sure if the player will come out automatically or still in there in the beginning, though.

No pokemon? = You ride in the back bro. |
He probably tried to find the secret Mew under the truck after beating the E4 a million times but was shoved in the back by his Mom and moved to Hoenn...

I don't really see why we'd have to speculate if that truck would be returning or not, haha. They usually don't remove anything in remakes; rather, they add more stuff to give you a better and more fun experience. Only way you could see them get rid of something is when fans complain about it extremely. d:

This was such a unique way to start the game, so I hope they don't scrap this little beginning scene. Imagine arriving in Littleroot Town at night in a moving truck but in 3D.

if they keep it, then it'll probably take me a while to get the nerve to step out and see the whole new world of Hoenn. xD
so yeah, i want it in the remakes as well. :3 |
I really see no reason why they'd remove the truck, and I hope they don't. Perhaps they could show it travelling towards Hoenn, and then the camera backs off the track into the sky and gives you a full view of Hoenn from above, just like in a movie. That'd be awesome...

I'm sure it'll return, this is a remake after all. It's all about the nostalgia. |
Children stashed away behind a truck, possibly to avoid the officials from checking what sensitive goods we're carrying... they're all smugglers! Professors forcing said children to go on a big journey and fill the Pokédex for them... CHILD LABOUR!!!!!
I actually felt sad that they didn't have this truck scene in the later games. I mean, the truck is so much classic, and the fact that we emerge out near different houses... like, wow. But if they actually slotted in a chair or a seat in the back of the truck, it would look more comfortable imo. Right now, it isn't giving out the best image of a would-be-Pokémon-trainer (aka you) stepping into a new region. |

This time Mom rides on a Seviper. You ride on a Zangoose. And Norman drives the truck.

When the truck is driving a stack of boxes should fall off and topple on May/Brandon, knocking off their hat, finally showing people that he does Infact wear a hat and not a headband with white hair.
