Never really played Emerald, so for a long time I had no idea who Juan even was. So I'd rather see Steven as Champion, and Wallace remaining the eighth gym leader. They could have a Wally who's gone off and trained up, as the post-game 'boss'.

They've never had to make this decision before, so it will be interesting to see how they do this. I can't imagine them completely getting rid of Juan, if he's not returning as a Gym Leader then I'd expect him to make some sort of cameo in the games.

I did some further reading. Steven left Hoenn for a while after being defeated at the E4. He leaves a Beldum for the player. So maybe he's returned to Hoenn to stay and is back for these AND Emerald's remake?

I think that Steven will be the Champion since they're following Ruby and Sapphire's story with the teams. Should they remake Emerald in the form of DeltaEmerald than we will see Wallace.

Steven has been confirmed to be in ORAS:
http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

Apparently he's getting a Mega Charizard X (why not Mega Metagross though?) and his main focus is on Mega Stones.

I think that it's for Demo reasons, and not for battling purposes. Look at it' level in the screenshot, it's Lv. 100. Also it looks like he's talking to the player about Mega Evolution as if giving a lecture. So yeah, it'll be similar to the professor's Azurill, to give us an intro into the world, but in this case Mega Evolution rather than Pokemon.

I don't think the screenshots really indicate anything one way or the other. It's still pretty basal information at this point.

If you go by the designs of the protagonists you'll notice that it's a pretty solid blending of both the Emerald designs and the original Ruby and Sapphire designs. It essentially takes the pallet from the Emerald designs and arranges the colors in a pattern similar to how they were on the Ruby and Sapphire designs.

I'll also throw in the argument that if Steven is used as a tool to further develop the role of Megastones in Hoenn it might be easier to keep him in the role of a wandering archeologist. Not that being champion stopped him from the role before.

In general the way I look at it, it's easier to make Wallace the champion. If Steven is Champion then what happens to Juan? He could be added somewhere else, but where? Being a Frontier Brain wouldn't be a bad idea I suppose. But is he worthwhile for that role? Hm...

Honestly , I don't like Wallace going back to being a gym-leader Again .
So I prefer Wallace to be official champion while Steven is the Real champion who leave the post to find more mega-stone.
Is Steven really a steel type specialist ??? Because he seem to specialize in all type of Pokemon like Cynthia & Diantha !
I mean , Alder use 3 Bug type pokemon in the battle but he isn't refer as a Bug type Specialist So Why should we call Steven a Steel type specialist just because he use 3 steel type Pokemon.

He refers to himself as a Steel-type specialist, in the PokéNav.
Alder has a more diverse team in the PWT; he wasn't meant to be a mono-Type Champion, but Unova had a lot of good Bugs! Steven is more similar to Lance and Iris, who are both mono-Type Dragon Champions but only have 3 Dragon-Type Pokémon on their team.

I think the only time we will know the actual champion is when the game gets commercially released.

If by that you mean since Steven was given a spotlight in this CoroCoro instead of Wallace, it's more likely he'll be the champion, or have a larger role, in ORAS, then I agree. Extremely confused as to why they would give him a Mega Charizard; the only logical reason being to research and study Mega stones. Hopefully, that's not on his actual team if he is the champion of Hoenn in the remakes.

Wallace could be the judge for Contests. If Contests are Present and displayed in 3D, I would like Wallace to be there instead of a generic judge NPC.

Steven can be the Stone Guy. Could be the Champion too.

Juan can be the 8th Gym Leader, although I hate the idea of having a Water-Type Gym at the end of a long water route where you battle nothing by water types. Your Grass and Electric Types are going to get so over leveled.

Really leaning towards Steven being the champion at this point. No mention of Wallace whatsoever, and various screenshots of our favorite gray-haired mineral fanatic, as well as a section in the CoroCoro leak. Wallace certainly could still be the eighth gym leader, and Juan the new master of contests, or vice versa, but looks like Steven's reigning over Hoenn yet again.

It would make sense to bring back Steven. If they are really remaking the games, why make somebody new up? If Game Freak were just going to change stuff, they might as well of gone ahead and make a new game altogether.

Wallace felt really.... Out of place. Since these aren't remakes of emerald, it will more than likely be Steven. But I personally like the idea of a new chmpion: Wally. It's VERY unlikely, but pretty cool to think about. But it's going to be Steven, I'm quite sure.

I think it'll be Steven too but even all of Steven's appearances aren't confirmation of him being champion. After all Steven appeared more than Wallace in Emerald too... but I think it'll be Steven, after all in the previous remakes (HGSS) he called himself the Champion of Hoenn.

STEVEN

His appearances in the videos made me sooo happy, and his traveling nature still makes me think he'll be the Champion, even though that's what he also did in Emerald and he ended up not being Champion. The nature of some of his appearances though (searching for the mega stone secret and whatnot, right?) reminds me of almost exactly what Diantha was doing and having two Champions doing the same thing with similar goals in mind... It doesn't seem like GameFreak's style, so I doubt Steven will still be Champ. :( Still hopeful regardless!

Maybe Steven's gone so far in his research that he cloned his body and the man running around exploring the Hoenn region isn't actually Steven, it's a replica made of the strongest minerals in the world. With this, he can remain Champion and interject the main character's adventures with helpful tips and thoughtful speeches. 8)

In the more recent games the Champions have been becoming more involved with the player during the storyline, so I think it would be weird if we met Steven several times throughout the journey and it turns out Wallace was the Champion and he was just sitting in EGC the whole time. So I definitely think that Steven is the Champion due to all of this new information.

I just want to reassure you that Steven and Diantha are nothing alike. Diantha is only met twice before battling her as Champion; the first time, she explains that she is an actress and wants to explore different acting roles. The second time, she talks about the bonds between people and Pokémon--really generic stuff, in my opinion. She does no searching for anything related to Mega Evolution...she really does nothing at all, in all honesty. If Steven returns as Champion, it would be nothing even remotely similar as having Diantha as Champion, so in that regard there is nothing to worry about!

I'm actually kind of bothered that Diantha wasn't much of an impact in the storyline like the other champions. I prefer Steven being the champion rather than Wallace imo.

This is hard for me because I love Steven as the Champion. He's my favorite one, but I also really love Juan. He's one of my all time favorite gym leaders. Wallace did nothing for me as a gym leader or a Champion. If anything I found him a much easier opponent and I never really understood why it got switched up besides to build on Steven's character and to make the story a little more interesting I guess.

lol I honestly wish they would cut out Wallace altogether and just keep Juan and Steven, but I highly doubt that.
