HOENN CONFIRMED
 
Did you think that we were going to get a Hoenn game before it was announced? Or were you really convinced we wouldn't?

Do you still think R/S remakes were a good idea? Should we have waited until Generation 7 or just not at all?

Yeah when ORAS was announced I don't remember being very surprised at all. It was right about the time that most people were expecting a remake I think.

As for whether it was actually needed... frankly, I don't think it was necessary for them to remade during Gen 6 and I wouldn't have minded waiting until Gen 7 instead.

Hikamaru September 15th, 2016 11:49 AM

I used to speculate a lot about Hoenn getting a possible remake, back during 5th Gen I believe. After X/Y was announced I was starting to lose hope, but it was still happy when OR/AS did get announced, just in the generation I didn't expect a Hoenn remake to happen in.

Looking back on it, remaking Hoenn was a good idea considering how outdated the region was.

I had a feeling they would remake R/S before they announced it. It had been about 11 years since it was first released after all, and the Gen 1 and 2 remakes came out 10 years after the original games.

I don't think it would've mattered which gen the remakes came out in, 6 or 7. In the end ORAS were still good games.

blue September 15th, 2016 12:15 PM

I was in the middle. Initially I was convinced we would but be getting remakes, but when there were no remakes for the fifth gen, I was kinda skeptical as to whether we would be getting remakes ever again. Low and behold gen VI blessed us with the long awaited Ruby & Sapphire remakes. I'm happy with how ORAS turned out, they're up there with Platinum as my favorite main series Pokemon games! That means Sinnoh remakes are next, right?

Lunar September 15th, 2016 12:27 PM

I always thought we would get a Hoenn remake and I was hopeful it would come in Gen 6. After several references to Hoenn in X and Y, it got my hopes up and let's just say I had the biggest fanboy ever to the ORAS announcement ;)

I think they were definitely a good idea, Kanto and Johto got remakes, so why not Hoenn? I know you could still get your Pokemon from RSE to the current games but it's about more than that and going back to the region in 3D was amazing.

Guest123_x1 September 15th, 2016 2:41 PM

I was expecting Hoenn remakes back during Generation V and was surprised that they didn't come during that time. Then the rumors started again around the time X/Y came out and I thought to myself "if they don't do Hoenn remakes for Generation VI, then they will never do them period."

Needless to say, I was quite happy that the internet went abuzz with 'HOENN CONFIRMED' when OR/AS were announced-particularly because the fans would be quite happy to see Generation III's main paired games remade.

wakachamo September 15th, 2016 7:41 PM

I knew it all along. I had faith in Hoenn. All I needed was the fact that HG/SS were a thing.

Because Hoenn is love. Hoenn is life.

Altairis September 23rd, 2016 12:17 PM

XY felt a bit unfinished to me as well. But I was really expecting ORAS to happen, since newer players technically couldn't play RSE with just a 2DS/3DS.

Lycanroc September 23rd, 2016 12:21 PM

I was pretty convinced that we were getting remakes, just because of all the subtle hints dropped in X/Y and the fact that one was due. Maybe I just wanted to believe in a Hoenn remake, but it seemed pretty obvious to me.

TheHastySlowpoke October 3rd, 2016 2:13 PM

Sound the trumpets, hoen returns and it was glorious, if depressingly easy. Too easy, I got board quick of it, did not finish ORAS. Loved gen 3 though.

EC October 5th, 2016 7:44 PM

I did. So much so, in fact, that I refused to do a playthrough of Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald until one was announced so Hoenn would feel fresh again.

Although I wish they were more of an Emerald remake than Ruby/Sapphire, like HeartGold/SoulSilver was of Crystal.

FireSnow October 6th, 2016 8:25 AM

I honestly was surprised when they came out with the remakes. (though this was before i paid much attention to game making patterns) I was really excited whent hey did though and found it to be an amazingly fun and one of the best experiences playing Pokemon I've had.

As for being necessary, probably not but it was cool to have it be part of the Mega Evolution period and fully confirm the multiverse theory.

Controversial? October 6th, 2016 9:55 AM

The remakes were great
The intro blew me away
Same with the graphics

They were easy though
I get why they would be but
I'd like a challenge

Aquacorde October 6th, 2016 12:30 PM

Yeah, ORAS was pretty easy as a game? I think they did well on the story though for sure. Also I totally knew the remakes were coming. :D And I loved the memes lmfao

Altairis October 8th, 2016 2:32 PM

The memes were maybe my favorite part about the hype, haha. Since everybody was so excited. I feel like we had a few memes for these games... like the 7.8/10 too much water rating.

Aquacorde October 8th, 2016 2:45 PM

*trumpets intensify*/*hoenn intensifies* was probably my fav meme ahaha

OuterTsuchinoko October 8th, 2016 3:45 PM

I was the type who wasn't expecting these games to come out, and frankly didn't care whether they did or not since I wasn't a major fan of Hoenn anyway. After the remakes came out I definitely loved the region and games in general more than I did on the GBA. At least now I know they'll probably keep remaking the other games too, so I definitely have Sinnoh to look forward to, but I bet they'll come out in Gen 8.

Even though I was already a huge fan of Hoenn, seeing it in 3D really changed my opinion about it, so I'm glad that I'm not alone in this thought.

I wonder if people can say the same for Sinnoh, though.

Azire October 14th, 2016 12:20 AM

Never liked Gen III. Didn't think they were needed because we can transfer Pokémon all the way to the current and next Gen from the original games.

Gen I and Gen II needed remakes because you can't transfer from the originals. I also thought that if they did remake Gen III, then they would have to do Gen I as well because those are the only games that aren't on the DS format. Now we have the originals as virtual games that can transfer to Gen VII.

You didn't think so, even with the fact that Nintendo was marketing the 3DS at the time, which didn't have the GBA slot (meaning that newcomers to the series drawn in by BW and XY wouldn't be able to play Hoenn at all), and that the GBA games weren't even being produced anymore? Not criticizing, just curious, because these are the reasons why I assumed it was getting a remake.

I loved Sinnoh so much, during that generation I felt the most connected to players and the world. It was to the point that when I would take the my two trains and a bus to school everyday there were so many players I met on the train who I traded and battled with all the time whenever me happened to meet on the same car. It was so amazing to me. The region was my favorite as well next to Johto. I cannot wait to see Sinnoh in full 3D on the NX I hope. I hope more people grow to love Sinnoh too. Seriously can't wait to hear the updated music in those remakes too whenever they come out.

tenchi October 16th, 2016 10:59 AM

i wasnt surprised at all. Its a production patturn. After sun and moon we can expect refurbished gen 4 games in 2018, unless they do a 3rd installment of sun and moon in 2017, then it will be gen 4 in 2019. I dont think they will be doing a 3rd installment for sun and moon or x/y untill they've remade gen 4 and 5. I bet they are saving Z for 2022.

Sheep October 25th, 2016 6:39 PM

No I didn't!! Even though we already had RB and GS remakes I still never expected RS to get remade since I was assuming it was just a pipe dream. Or not in gen VI, at least. People were focused too much on Z version for me to truly think RS remakes were a possibility. =p

Do you think there will be SINNOH CONFIRMED headlines everyone once they announce the remakes? Why do you think they're saving Kalos for a game way in the future instead of... waiting for its turn to be remade?
