Nostalgia Intro
 
Did anyone else find the introduction to the game creatively nostalgic? I know for me, when I saw the GBA-style welcome, I felt like I was 12 again, playing the third generation games for the first time. Then suddenly they transition into the 3D world of the actual game. To me that was one of the most incredible moments of the entire game.

I actually found it pretty cool I admit, it's really different to how most games introduce yourself so it was nice to see they do it on a game system you're holding while inside the truck this time around.

It's a very epic change to a commonly reused intro and they did it very well, to remind you of the nostalgia.

My heart (as well as my friend's) got moved into pure nostalgia mode since our first Pokemon games are RSE, so the introduction screen really caught us surprised.

And then the screen pans into a game system that you're playing in a truck. Oh man, that is such an amazing way to start ORAS.

I adored the intro. Sapphire was my favorite Pokemon game and the way it was remade was beautiful.

Zeffy December 23rd, 2014 8:22 PM

The introduction warmed many of my body parts. It was blissfully nostalgic yet purposefully progressive, and I loved it!

Sirfetch’d December 23rd, 2014 9:23 PM

ngl I teared up a bit. Twas perfection

Salzorrah December 23rd, 2014 9:42 PM

Spoiler:
When I first started the game, I was like Oh my god, did they really just did that? Then hearing the original sound and the old Birch, I cried inside. Then when the transition happened, I was like, OH MY GOD GAMEFREAK DID YOU JUST LITERALLY FUCKING DID THAT? OMG GOOD JOB GAMEFREAK, FINALLY YOU DID SOMETHING RIGHT.


tl;dr

basically my reaction. gg gamefreak

I really liked the intro; it was creative and well done! Embarrassing enough though, I did get a bit teary.

Starry Windy December 24th, 2014 1:08 AM

I enjoyed the intro a whole lot too. I was stunned when I see the intro both retro and feeling new at the same time. Game Freak must have a really good job at showcasing good 'ol sprite of Prof. Birch, the sudden switch to the 3D environment and showcasing tons of Pokémon roaming as I was inside of the truck.

CuteLittleBlack December 24th, 2014 4:20 PM

My first reaction when I saw the intro was 'Wtf I did bought Alpha Sapphire right' Then it turned into 3D and I was like 'Wow that was awesome'

Bounsweet December 24th, 2014 4:26 PM

I loved it, it was so unconventional of the typical introductions yet it still stayed on point. I'm sure it really surprised a good chunk of people, too.

Altius December 25th, 2014 4:59 AM

I teared a little while playing the intro. That's how nostalgic it was.

classicpaul64 December 27th, 2014 10:48 PM

I know I admit I teared up a little too. Even when I was doing my recordings, I think it's noticeable I choke up seeing that big wave of nostalgia hit me.

Stormerbuzz35 December 28th, 2014 9:49 PM

It was incredable. Sapphire the first pokemon game I ever played and AS the first 3d pokemon game. I honestly don't think I have enough words to express how amazing the feeling was to see that intro. Love it to bits!

seeker December 29th, 2014 4:24 AM

The intro to OR/AS was so so so welcome. I actually find that they handled the nostalgia factor really well without being tacky at all. It really brought me into the experience without trying to sell the game on past experiences. Truly one of my favourite nods in the series. It's one of the few things in Pokémon that has made me smile these last few years and restored a lot of faith in the games.

Pendraflare December 29th, 2014 5:28 AM

My thought when I first saw this was, am I really seeing what I think I am? It was not what I bet a lot of people expected. They must have actually been thinking of the classic fans with this one.

jombii December 30th, 2014 4:31 AM

That intro was epic and nostalgic. It's the same and yet it exudes an air of difference, subtle enough to call the game better.

The idea of having the player play RSE in the classic GBA with RSE visuals is really clever. It's the best intro of all the games so far.

Geoffrey December 30th, 2014 8:10 AM

I thought the game was gonna be with RSE graphics the whole time for a second when I first saw it, got a little worried that I just blew a bunch of money on the games, but it was pretty awesome how they did it. That's how a remake should be done.

skyluigi2 December 30th, 2014 1:07 PM

The intro was amazing... I wasn't expecting and it really took me by surprise. The way they did it was perfect, too.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire December 30th, 2014 7:59 PM

I fanboyed a little when seeing the intro the first time. I was sad that Groudon and Kyogre weren't shown fighting but then again it's Omega Ruby, not Delta Emerald.

Same thoughts! I thought I was scammed by this store where I bought it (it has a chance to be really sketchy) but thank goodness it was not.

Spherical Ice December 31st, 2014 4:33 PM

Not gonna lie, my first reaction was "the textbox wouldnt be that large in the original though so what's the point".

it was a great touch though

blue January 1st, 2015 1:12 PM

I was took back by this, I literally just sat and listened to it for about a whole minute before continuing. I love the little features like this that they incorporate into the games.

DyingWillFlareon January 3rd, 2015 1:06 AM

Me and my sister were lucky enough to get the games the day they came out, and when I booted AS up, I almost bawled. It was so beautiful I had to sit and watch all of it. I still stop and listen to it a couple months later. And I Absol-utely love the Birch intro!!!!~

DarkPoke001 January 3rd, 2015 3:52 AM

Why i first booted up Omega Ruby, I was trying to.be prepared to watch a wacky new stylized intro, but when i saw the Leaves and water dripping from them, i instantly got shivers it was INCREDIBLE

(and THAT'S on a 2DS)
