Everyone probably remembers starting their first game in RSE and getting thrown off by the scene of the player in the back of a truck full of boxes. Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald were the first and only Pokemon games to not begin with the player in their bedroom, and so I pose the question: Will the truck come back in ORAS, or will they resort to the more uniform option of starting in the players' room?

You'll start in the back of the moving truck with the roller skates on, so you'll slide about and it will be an even worse and more dangerous experience than riding in the back of the moving truck in the original.

In all seriousness, I hope this returns, but with the graphical improvements I hope it makes a bit more sense. Riding in the back of a moving truck with all those boxes is dangerous; the boxes aren't even secured down! Just make it look more reasonable, and I'd be happy.

But regardless of whether they change it up or not, I can't imagine them removing it--there's really no other way to start RSE. You did just move to Hoenn. You could start in your room, go downstairs, and see the Pokémon moving your stuff around, sure, but that doesn't really feel the same, convey as much information, as starting in the moving truck. That's just how new you are to Hoenn--if it was just you starting in your room, with the moving Pokémon below, you could theoretically have been there for a few days already. But starting in the moving truck? Those are literally your first steps into Hoenn, into a whole new region, and you're already off on a new adventure!

I liked the addition of the truck to RSE. It was something different and made the introduction to Hoenn more exciting. I can't see them taking it out at all and making you start in your room; if they do, it's their loss for not making the trucks and boxes in 3D.

A big question should be asked...

WHY THE HELL YOU START AT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK? CAN'T YOU LIKE BE WITH YOUR MOM OR SOMETHING OR ATLEAST INFRONT OF THE TRUCK? I DONT GET IT :<

But yeah, Kinda stoked to see the moving truck in 3D even if it is for a few seconds :)

I found the truck scene to be like someone taking you into a room blind folded than removing it. It me anticipate Hoenn even if the scene was only a few seconds long.

Maybe its cause there's someone driving it and your mom is taking the front seat? I honestly have no idea why they'd stick their kid in the back, though. I don't see why they would change it, since there's no reason to really do so.

Explain why you exit the truck, your mom comes out from the house, like she is expecting you lol

But yeah, some notions I just thought off haha :)

Probably, but you should be with your mom right? Why do you start inside of the moving truck? That's kinda mean tho if you ask me :(

But yeah, can't wait to see it. I hope the camera angle is in 3rd Person View (like the one in Glittering Cave)

Because you overslept and they drove your mom first to your new home aaannndd...they hated you so much that they didn't wake you up. Or you just lived with your grandparents or something while your parents lives in Hoenn because they couldn't afford to keep you and then when your dad became a gym leader they finally had enough money for a new place and they could afford you to stay with them. Mean? Maybe...

I assumed she got out of the front and opened the door since maybe you couldn't open it from the inside? I dunno honestly I just assumed a lot of things. Are you going to make me question everything Gunner?! :P

Well, what I want is the truck to have a bigger size, and space inside.
There's something else I want though. CAN'T THE PLAYER JUST HAVE THE SHOTGUN!?

I personally think that the truck may return, but with the opening cutscene when the truck stops at the player's house. I'm not sure if the player will come out automatically or still in there in the beginning, though.

Lol in the Pokemon world, you're just luggage to your mom until you get your pokemon.
No pokemon? = You ride in the back bro.

I don't really see why we'd have to speculate if that truck would be returning or not, haha. They usually don't remove anything in remakes; rather, they add more stuff to give you a better and more fun experience. Only way you could see them get rid of something is when fans complain about it extremely. d:

In all seriousness, I hope this returns, but with the graphical improvements I hope it makes a bit more sense. Riding in the back of a moving truck with all those boxes is dangerous; the boxes aren't even secured down! Just make it look more reasonable, and I'd be happy.
Exactly that! It would be great if they could move you up into the front seat and whatnot, right beside the driver.

This was such a unique way to start the game, so I hope they don't scrap this little beginning scene. Imagine arriving in Littleroot Town at night in a moving truck but in 3D.

I really see no reason why they'd remove the truck, and I hope they don't. Perhaps they could show it travelling towards Hoenn, and then the camera backs off the track into the sky and gives you a full view of Hoenn from above, just like in a movie. That'd be awesome...

I'm guessing you travelled in the back to make sure nothing was broken during the journey.

I'm sure it'll return, this is a remake after all. It's all about the nostalgia.

Children stashed away behind a truck, possibly to avoid the officials from checking what sensitive goods we're carrying... they're all smugglers! Professors forcing said children to go on a big journey and fill the Pokédex for them... CHILD LABOUR!!!!!

I actually felt sad that they didn't have this truck scene in the later games. I mean, the truck is so much classic, and the fact that we emerge out near different houses... like, wow. But if they actually slotted in a chair or a seat in the back of the truck, it would look more comfortable imo. Right now, it isn't giving out the best image of a would-be-Pokémon-trainer (aka you) stepping into a new region.

I agree. When I first played through the game, being in the back of the truck gave off the vibe that my own mother didn't care about me enough to let me sit in the front seat, haha. I'm sure it'll look awesome in 3D though, with the boxes towering over the player and the truck rumbling down the road, causing the screen to shake.
