The building that was abolished in Gen V as a result of store being merged with PKMN Center. Will it make a brief return to the series?

Probably not, they probably abolished it because the PokeMart being separate from the Pokemon Center doesn't make any sense. It is a Pokemon CENTER after all.

Yeah, besides, I think they wanted to incorporate the Mart inside the centre seeing as it was quite convenient for the building in front of the Pokémon League. This would improve the uniqueness of the cities because there would be only one generic building remaining (since we have custom gyms now).

I want to see a separate building of the PokeMart again since it was kinda nostalgic to see it back on its former glory.

Personally I don't want to see it come back, I think the merge between that and the Pokemon Center was great and should be kept like that. Although it'll leave some towns kinda empty without them, maybe have a couple construction sites around the place with new facilities (new contest areas, side quests etc.) just to keep the areas enticing.

I'd like to see it return, otherwise there's just going to be empty spaces where there once was Poke Marts.

I would like them to return as well, but there is a high chance they're not returning. Places like Dewford and Pacifidlog didn't have PokéMart, but with the inclusion of PokéMart in Centers, said towns will now have a shop because of this. That is kinda weird to me.
My expectation is that the PokéMart will return, and that the Pokémon Center may have the communication department again, if the PSS doesn't return on the bottom screen of course.

Considering the region is very likely to be in 3D it won't look out of place.

I would not be shocked if the 3D switch makes a redesign for the citys and towns happen.

That is more than likely, seeing as we can now have towns and cities that are more densly-populated.

However, the Department Store in Mossdeep will need to return. Or merge it with the Center to create a big building like the one in Castelia (although with the additional floors actually accessible).

I'd like it if in lieu of PokeMarts we got small specialist shops in every other (or so) towns + cities where they'd sell stuff exclusive to that location.

And definitely the return of the Department Store

It seems to've become a standard that marts are in the Pokemon Centers so I doubt it'd be changed for one game. The XY set up looked very nice as well so hopefully something like that returns.

I think they'll will do this.

The Poke mart will probably need something extra to justify it's return. Maybe a Poke mart/ clothing shop?

Given the PokeMarts are inside of the Pokemon Center lately, if they were to replace the spots where the PokeMarts stood in the original games I'd like to see clothing shops because trainer customization was one of the good things X and Y had going for it so far and it'd feel like a step backwards if they didn't have it this time around.

I honestly hope to see those lil' blue devils everywhere, again. I mean, Ruby and Sapphire WERE the games that gave the PokeMarts a specific look to them. I love the mart being inside of the Center, don't get me wrong, but I've always liked the thought of them being separate places, and I miss all the people inside of the PokeMarts who would tell you useless hints and tips lol

Yo I never thought about this. This can have some serious implications for really really tiny towns like Oldale. o_O

We've not had a remake since the new PokéCenter/Mart dynamic was introduced. Though I reckon we'll see one of two things; either they'll keep true to the original maps and keep the marts the way they were in R/S/E, or replace them with some other kind of building. Most areas would work much the same if the Poké Mart was replaced with an NPC house or some other form of building if they were to continue the typical fashion of how they work now.

If there was some widespread new feature or facility I could see them combining the centre and mart. Then have said new facility in each town where the mart used to be.

It would have to be something that would make sense to be in every town.

I could see Marts being replaced by clothes and accessory shops. How else will we customise our characters?

I really doubt we'll see a PokeMart ever again and would prefer it stay that way. The term "Pokemon Center" alone depicts that it'd be the hub for all things Pokemon - not just healing your party - so the continuing on with that would make the most sense (I'd think).

Would like most of the marts to be replaced with clothing stores or perhaps something cool and new. Or just NPC houses, whatever works. ;(

Look, all the stuff that's been changed since gen 3 was changed for a reason, and with X and Y being such huge steps forward, it'd really be a shame to see Game Freak working backwards for "Nostalgia." I understand for many people this was their first Pokemon game, but Game Freak has FINALLY decided to start taking risks and going forward, let's not ruin that so soon, or we won't see any major changes for another decade at least.

I doubt it. Although the originals brought us Mart music for once, I don't foresee it returning. The change was made for the better and I think they'll keep it. If not, I don't really mind because I sometimes still walk out of the PC and forget the shop is there haha.

I liked them separate... For nastalgia. Plus, I like them that way. Maybe the cites should have them in one, and towns saparate?

The combination of Poke Marts with Pokemon Centers is very convenient (with the combined building being a hub for "all things Pokemon" as mentioned earlier).. Although Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire doubly introduced unique and iconic Poke Mart designs and unique Poke Mart music that even went as far to become used in Generations 4 and 5 (as far as I know), I would rather have the Poke Marts depreciated and moved inside the Pokemon Centers.

As for the music, I imagine that it'll play triumphantly in Lilycove Department Store. If clothing stores take the place of the areas of Hoenn's Poke Marts, they could make could good use of the Poke Mart music since they primarily serve as places for the player to go shopping!

Does anyone know what music the various clothing stores of Kalos used? Since fewer Hoenn locations may use the Poke Mart music, the Pretty Petal Flower Shop (near south of Rustboro City) and the Lavaridge Town Herb Shop, both of which re-used standard town/city music if I recall correctly, could put the Hoenn Poke Mart theme to better use! Similarly, that treehouse in Fortree City that sells the player some Secret Base decorations (like Desks and Chairs) could also use the Hoenn Poke Mart music.

*I always imagined that even if the Poke Marts were moved inside Pokemon Centers, there would be certain tiles (maybe blue-colored, to represent the Poke Mart color) you could step on (or maybe the Mart sellers would be secluded in a mini-room/hallway behind a translucent pretty glass panel or something) that would switch to the Poke Mart music for the time that you're on those specific tiles (like how music changes when moving between different buildings/Routes/cities and towns)..

Maybe all of those "tips" people could be moved inside the Pokemon Center? Although that would be a lot of people within one building.. XD

{XD} I think I'll being doing this at some point since I'm so used to Generation 3 Poke Mart layouts. XD

Oldale Town is going to be really awkward now.. I'm guessing a clothing store or random NPC house will replace the Oldale Poke Mart, but the "follow me" lady will have to mosey on over to the Pokemon Center now (which seems even closer XD).

I like them together. It is a lot easier to go to one place then having to run to two places when you have to go to each quite frequently.
