Remember the old tedious fishing mechanics in RSE? I mean, you'd have to get a bite many times in order to catch a Pokémon? That required a lot more attention, but it made training harder near the water cities. How do you feel about adding this mechanic back?

Ugh, please no! This was tedious, and more of a pain than anything. Make the fishing mechanics easier, I would prefer not to spend 2 hours training my Pelipper because I can't catch a stupid Pokemon because fishing. However, most of the time I would just use Surf and it was easier to find Pokémon that way.

I actually kinda liked this feature because it adds more realism into the game so I can't wait for it. I mean we already have Suction Cups to make fishing easier so I guess they should make these Pokemon more valuable by making fishing harder like RSE's.

It definitely added a bit of a challenge to fishing, so I would be happy to see this mechanic return! Like Gunner said, it does add an element of realism into the games, something I'd personally like to see more of in the newer Pokemon games. It also made more sense to have you react to bites like that, again tying in with the realism.

If you say so, but for us emulating realism is not necessarily a sign of quality gameplay - especially when real life fishing does not work that way anyway. It is not challenging in any form, just a matter of inconvenience.

We might change our opinion when the power of the traction becomes an indication for the quality of the catch, like high IVs. Now, should they give us a way to bait strong mons on a regular basis (like with baits, duh) we wouldn't even mind them escaping from time to time.

It is using XY's engine, so they will probably use XY's fishing mechanics.

^ Is really a good idea. Power Fishing could be a concept where we could find fishing 'hotspots' around the sea, in which we could specifically look for rare and good IV'd Pokémon. Something like Feebas fishing, except it isn't random, much more abundant and we could actually know where they are.

It wasn't that great of a fishing mechanic, but if they were to add a layer of complexity and actually make the player capable of influencing the outcome in a meaningfull way, it would be a much appretiated addition.

I HATED it. One of the worst things about the originals. They tried to make fishing less boring but instead they made it frustrating since for bigger Pokémon you need to press the button a gazillion times.

It was a fun little minigame at first, but when you have to do it about 50 times in a route where it almost always rains just so you can catch an ugly fish that was way too difficult to evolve... Well, it gets pretty tedious pretty fast.

I think it was very repetitive and tedious so I hope they use X/Y's method.

I forgot all about this, if it was this way in the originals then odds are this mechanic will be back. I don't really mind it, as long as it doesn't take 10+ times to reel in one Pokémon...

Didn't make too much of an impact on me. The newer generations really improved the mechanic, but if they bring the old RSE one back, I won't mind. May be wrong, but I think they'll bring the renovated mechanic back from more recent generations, instead of reviving an old one just because they're remakes.

That's pretty much how I feel. Even if I very rarely fish, if ever, I still remember how tedious it was to fish two or three times on every tile, and I don't want to do this again.

For some reason I've forgotten about this. I guess it shows how much fishing I did in the games (runs off to check it out).

Ahahahahahaha it's actually kinda fun.

If chain fishing will come back at ORAS, it'll use XY's fishing method.
If not, I want it to return. Keeps the suspense in fishing. P:

No thank you, I'd rather prefer the simplicity to fishing like there is in X and Y. The "........." annoyed me so much because I was never sure when to reel in the fish at all.

I honestly don't even remember RSE's fishing method, and I fished a lot to catch all the Pokemon so I don't think it personally bothered me that much. But if it bothered many others then it's probably something that should be addressed.

I remember having to be very quick when it reacts like that. The game is too quick to react ;; I always feel at the edge when I'm using the Super Rod haha x3

No. That was just annoying. I didn't like it at all. It made it even harder to fish for a Feebas, ugh. I really just hope they implement the mechanic from X/Y. That was way better. If they do include the original mechanic though, I'll be annoyed.

I remember fishing in the RSE before, and it was quite tricky and full of suspense. However, I'm not sure if I'll enjoy it again due to easier fishing method in later games, even in X and Y, so I hope they keep it easy.
