Well thus far all the remakes have looked similar to the original pair or the third version of the generation depending on which part of the generation they were released in. FrLg look similar to Ruby and Sapphire, HeartGold and Soul Silver looked similar to Platinum. So it's to be expected that it'll look similar to X and Y. I don't think we've seen enough of Hoenn yet to be able to call it a carbon copy of XY's graphics.

They also actually COULD be Kalos's graphics - maybe they were using it as a base and were going to redesign it into Hoenn later. The main focus is supposed to be the new designs and Megas after all, not about the graphics yet :)

That's true. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if it was basically the Kalos battle system implemented in ORAS, it was an amazing upgrade from previous generations, and there were no glaring fallacies to it. Now, if they do put some time into improving it, I won't be complaining, haha. Personally hoping to see even more environment backgrounds than there were in X and Y.

Indeed, I'm really excited to see how the underwater environment will look, especially if there are underwater battles introduced. That typical little circular field that pops up probably won't work out great for what's obviously an entirely different world... maybe the Pokemon will appear in a bubble of air and float around releasing their attacks. ~__~

WiFi battles could have more than one Background. I love that there are 11 music options in Wifi but there is only One background.

Maybe a stadium background for online battles.

So E3 showed off quite a few new things!







It seems they have redone our battle backgrounds to add some depth and increased color... like the mountain behind Pikachu, as well as the extended treeline on both sides. Helps to show off the foresty scene a lot better! But it seems that our 'circles' have returned and reappear right beneath our Pokemon as we send them out, just as they did in X&Y.





They briefly displayed more backgrounds too.
I'm assuming the top shot occurs at Mt. Chimney and the latter occurs in Slateport.

I love how they made the backgrounds. They look more diverse compared to the rather generic ones we got in XY. I also love how they put Mudkip in a beach, and Torchic in what looks like a volcano like rocky place. Now where is my screenshot of Treeko with a forest background?

I hope that we'll be able to change the background in ORAS. While I liked the wi-fi background in XY it got old after awhile. Speaking of the wi-fi background I wonder if they'll redesign it.

The backgrounds seriously pop off the screen; the colors look brighter and blend in with the Pokemon, and the artwork behind the actual battle is amazing, and a clear improvement from X and Y. In ORAS, what new battle environment do you guys want to see? I hope they really spice the one for routes around Fortree up, add some marsh, tropical trees and bushes. Should look really nice!

I want to see what they will do with underwater. It's going to look amazing or horrible. I doubt it will be just alright. UnderWater could include other Pokemon swimming by or something. They have done good with the other environments tho, so maybe they will do good with the Under water Battle environment.

I would love that.

I like how the circles blend with the background now, they no longer seem so out of place as before.

So many new screenshots showing off the battle system of ORAS! If you want to see all of them, they can be found here, but these are some of my favorites:



There are several others that show the beautiful move animations and colors that brighten the screen, so take a look in that gallery! Really enjoying seeing the Hoenn pokemon in their new 3D models, can't wait to see the rest of them. Even when the Pokemon is in its basic stage, like this one of Mudkip, the attack still looks epic.

I've noticed they've shown Dark clouds in some of the screenshots. I wonder if it's because if it's night, or if the clouds in Hoenn are simply more dynamic than XY's :3

There is a WiFi battle pic on Serebii. They added minor details to the floor and walls. But added Virtual Spectators.

I would like the Battle Spot of have several backgrounds to pick but... sigh.

There is still hope that they'll have several basic backgrounds, like a water arena, and a fire arena. Those kind would fit nicely in Type tournaments and events.

I'll be completely honest: I have no ♥♥♥♥ing idea. :) My view on speculation is: if you have nothing to go on, it's not even worth speculating yet. This is why I refuse to speculate on why the heck Steven has a Mega Charizard X.

Somethings they usually don't hint on, so speculation tends to be 80-90 percent hope and 10-20 percent knowledge of patterns.
I can't wait to see how Sky Battles in Hoenn would look after the shift. Maybe the circles will be clouds.

But Sky Battles didn't have circles, the Pokemon just hovered.

I find it kind of interesting that they haven't shown any sky battles or horde battles in a trailer yet, even for a few seconds. I'd say if character customization doesn't make it into ORAS, there's a chance these unique battles might not either. If not, there's of course the possibility that they have new battles ready to reveal for the remakes!

We also barely got any gameplay at all, really. The extra battle types are.. well, extra add-ons, so I think that they will show us the core features of ORAS first before giving us anything that is random and extra and doesn't relate to the plot that much.

What if they introduced another battle type? Maybe something involves underwater battles and such? I think the new battle scenes are amazing. Animations to camera angles, it's amazing.

Oh right, forgot there was no circles in Sky Battles. I wonder how they'll look underwater though. Maybe it'll be sandy in the center but one wouldn't be able to see much due to the water around us?

They said there was going to be a revolutionary changed in battling didn't they? I assumed that meant Primal Reversion, but only the mascots have that (that we know of). So maybe more will get it, or they meant something else that they're still keeping a secret...

Nothing revolutionary on the battle system front yet; looks to be very similar to X and Y, but wow does this screenshot make me excited for ORAS, haha. May looks awesome, gah. n__n I was thinking, what if they changed battle conditions when a Pokemon undergoes Primal Reversion? Like, weather cannot be implemented as long as they're on the field, or no Pokemon can switch out. o:

I'm really assuming they are doing a new type of battle. Most probably doing with Dive being back in the mix.

Other than that, maybe it's the Primal Reversion or the camera angles :33

Primal Reversion's battle cutscene looks epic, gah. *__* Can't wait to see this in the game. The customization of the gem to be Groudon and Kyogre's respective colors make me think that this new way of devolution will remain exclusive to the Hoenn legendary mascots, but of course, the color may just change depending on the Pokemon.

It's really interesting how little details like the battle scene change so incrementally, but still do get better and better over time. I bet they don't take out the circles though.
