Alpha Sapphire. Mostly for nostalgia. I wish they made the 3DS carts similar to the translucent GBA carts of the games.

I picked Sapphire. Since I don't research the differences between the two or anything, I pick the one with the Pokémon the I like more on the cover. I like Kyogre more than Groudon. This is partly appearance and partly that I usually prefer water types and partly that I had one in a game and it was awesome.
Also, I never get both. I don't like doing something very similar to something else that I just did.

Deep Thoughts...
The people of the Pokémon world aren't too creative. They named Pokémon after what sound they make. If we were like them, a cow would be called a "moo".

I'm Reading...
Just finished a volume of Soul Eater, volume 14. At this point, it has become very different compared to the anime, and I kind of like it. Some of the characters have gotten a lot more fleshed out (specifically the meister team of Ox, Kilik, and Kim), and things are happening quite differently. An exciting read.

I'm Playing...
The iPod music game, Cytus. While I may not know very many of the songs, I really like its music, and the gameplay is easy to pick up yet takes quite a while to master. A friend has seen me play it and he says I make it look easy, but I am still having a fun and challenging time. Definitely worth the price.

I'll want to get both versions, but I'll most likely pick up Omega Ruby first, then Alpha Sapphire. Primal Groudon looks really cool, and I prefer some of the pokemon in Omega Ruby.

Alpha Sapphire, as I absolutely adore Kyogre and all that is water. :)

Since I heard rumors of a Delta Emerald, I'm most likely getting that one. But for now, I'd say Alpha Sapphire.

I'm going to go with Omega Ruby first...I think. My mind might change once the games are released, but I'll probably end up with both eventually.

I played Sapphire and I voted AS in this poll, however, upon further reflection, I must have my own Latios and if he is exclusive to Ruby like he was in the originals, then I have to play OR. However, if they make these titles more similar to Emerald, and I can choose whichever, then I'd like to play AS. I will probably end up buying OR just because I can't wait that long to find out and I have to play it safe.

I can't NOT get both pokemon games. It's like a sin to just pick one. What with the version exclusives and whatnot and having a roomate who will use the other <3

I agree, I can't really decide which version to get first. Can anyone make any suggestions?

I think with the now highly accessible online features in Pokemon, what version has become even more irrelevant. So I'd just pick what color you like best: blue or red? ^^

I am probably going to get Omega Ruby, simply because my 3DS XL is red =3 Bah and here I was saying I was going to skip this remake...I can't resist anymore.

Seeing as how they cost as much as an accursed Dreadnought, I will get neither. I also feel that the third generation was the weakest addition to the series, trying to awkwardly fit in with the first two generations, both of which fared better in monetary terms than the third. And, if tradition follows (I believe it will), then this will be the worst selling remake that the Pokemon company has put out to date.

Thought for the day: Zeal is its own excuse

I don't know about that. It's going to be in fully 3D with new mega evolutions...I think that alone is enough for it to sell by the truckloads, but I do get where you're coming from. I could never quite put my finger on it but 3rd gen was my least favourite too.

You bring up some good points.

However, I believe that the number of sales for remakes is significantly lower than the initial release, by Pokemon standards anyway.

For example: Pokemon Red, Blue, and Green sold over 30 million units by release; however, their remakes, Fire Red and Leaf Green went on to sell only 11 million units.

Gold and Silver: 23 million units sold. Heart Gold and Soul Silver sold only 12 million units, while slightly better sales than the other remakes, the numbers still are consistent with selling less units than initial release.

Ruby and Sapphire moved about 15 million units, coming close to last place in sales and barely ahead to Black and White. So going by logic, I would hypothesize that their remakes will sell at or around 8 million units.

In addition, the third games always sell less than the primary release: Pokemon Yellow sold 14 million units. Crystal sold a paltry 6 million as well as Emerald, which sold 6 million, while platinum did slightly better than the aforementioned at 7 million units. The Sequels to Black and White sold 7 million units as well. general consensus leans towards little returns on part of the Pokemon Company.

I actually look forward to seeing the actual sales numbers the remakes produce. Call me cruel, but I never enjoyed the third generation of Pokemon, so I wish to see these remakes fail, so I can prove to myself that my deductible skills still function.

I'm going with Omega Ruby for the time being as I played Ruby when I was younger. However, I still like Kyogre better, but I'll just get one from the GTS.

To be honest I dislike both & would rather buy Delta Emerald if it existed.
Only reason why I chose AS over OR is that I like Team Aqua more than Magma, & Water is my favorite type.
