Cartridge colour?
 
What do you guys think? the regular grey cartridge for the physical copy or red/blue ones like the GBA versions?

ZetaZaku June 12th, 2014 2:46 AM

It's going to be regular colour. HGSS was regular too.

Princess Diana June 12th, 2014 2:54 AM

I'd like red and blue, but I suspect that it'll be just a plain grey one.

Hikamaru June 12th, 2014 3:02 AM

If memory serves me right X and Y's cartridges were a white color instead of grey, but after looking at my X cartridge it's more of a very pale grey. I'd be surprised if they made the Omega Ruby cartridge red and the Alpha Sapphire cartridge blue, like the originals had but I'm suspecting they'll keep the pale grey used with X and Y.

NateSenpai June 12th, 2014 3:14 AM

3DS cartridges are white.

Blazikong June 12th, 2014 3:18 AM

The cartridge color probably wouldn't change but it will add a unique feel if it did.

Rengoku June 12th, 2014 3:37 AM

White like any other 3DS game cartridges, but it'll be cool if they make the whole thing red or blue :)

FlyingBeastie June 12th, 2014 7:50 AM

Probably the standard grey colour but it'd be nice if the cartridges were coloured ... Though looking at the EU packaging it will be the game's corresponding colour which is better than nothing I guess. (I like to display my game boxes.)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 12th, 2014 8:53 AM

I think it'll be the color of the games. I saw some cartridges in some screenshots that were red and blue for the games. Of course they may not be official promotional material, and just fan promotional material.

Pretty sure there haven't been any different coloured 3DS cartridges yet, so it's unlikely to happen now. Why would ORAS get awesome cartridges and XY not? I'd like to see red/blue cartridges, but it probably won't happen.

Steven June 12th, 2014 9:41 AM

IIRC It's already confirmed that ORAS will have regular color cartridges except in Japan.

Back then the cartridges were rather large, and giving popular titles like Pokémon unique colours was good for identifying them. Now they're all smaller cards, basically, and with rising costs of everything, changing a production line to create special coloured cartridges would be an extra unnecessary cost that increases the price of the games to where some people no longer can afford them. They will stay plain grey.

The games back then still costed the same for customers whether they were Grey or Red, Blue, Green.

Here's some trivia: Pokemon Emerald is the last Nintendo game have have had a colored cartridge. It's also the last Pokemon game to match the color of it's Cartridge (if one doesn't count Black 2 of course xD )

I would love for them to bring back the colored cartridges for the Pokemon games, but given how not even HGSS had their own specialized cartridges, I can't see it happening :< The next best thing is the specialized box colors, but the US gets plain old ones, orz

blue June 12th, 2014 10:19 AM

As much as I would love to see Red/Blue Sparkled cartridges, I just don't see it happening. None of the 3DS games so far have been any color but grey, shame really.

We do? But Japan gets the colored ones >_<...

ilias_ June 12th, 2014 11:40 AM

I hope they're red&blue but I think they're gonna be the regular ones.

Europe and Japan gets colored packages, at least! :) I wonder why they gave the regular ones to the US...

TheGinger63 June 12th, 2014 11:49 AM

I would like to see that crystalized red/blue cartridge like the old games. But either way im still getting both games :P

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 12th, 2014 11:50 AM

I saw an image of them online, but those are probably fake.

PSNGhost June 12th, 2014 12:23 PM

I think it would be super awesome for color cartridges, and it could happen, but it'll probably be, grey.. :( Not like it's a make or break thing, anyways, but it would be cool.

oshimas June 12th, 2014 2:20 PM

oooh if they are blue/red. i love them forever and ever. i never had a chance to play the originals, having the colored ones will make things so much more prettier. xP

L0RD G3NGAR June 12th, 2014 2:25 PM

If they don't, it wouldn't wreck the games if you colored them. Atleast I hope.it wouldn't...I might try it. Lol jkjkjk

Iceshadow3317 June 12th, 2014 2:26 PM

I would love to see them back to their Ruby/Sapphire colors. That was one big thing I actually liked about those games even though it was so minor. But it will probably be a white/grey color.

antemortem June 12th, 2014 2:57 PM

I loved the color of the Ruby and Sapphire cartridges but they'll probably keep the 3DS standards and just be white.

Pepperton June 12th, 2014 3:02 PM

Saw a picture of a 3DS cartridge digitally altered to look like the ORAS games with the same red/blue design that was on the GBA cartridge. It was unbelievably cool, but I doubt they actually do something like that. Would be surprised if it's anything other than the regular cartridge color.
