    In one of the sea routes of South Hoenn, there was an abandoned ship that served a little sidequest to get one of Clamperl's evolution items. Do you think that the Abandoned Ship will return and have a better use in the storyline?

    Discuss!
     
    I imagine it will, but will return as a far larger, more prominent object due to the 3D scaling. No more giant building roughly the size of 8 player characters standing in a rectangle lol
     
    I think that the Abandoned Ship will relatively stay the same (although it would be suitable to have a battle with roaming Wallace here). BOTH DeepSeaTooth/DeepSeaScale should be available somehow; their rarity in Hoenn irritated me in the past. A situaton like Emerald had with the Fossils would be ideal: you're allowed to get one easily, but you have to actually work for the one that you don't pick.

    I remember a kid walking through the wall to battle us inside the ship. So many ghosts... maybe we could encounter Rotom in there, but for the most part it should stay the same. The Abandoned Ship was kind of creepy, too.
     
    I really think the Abandoned Ship could use some new areas to explore. It didn't really serve much of a purpose, tbh.
     
    Since there are more legendaries now since RSE, I could imagine one of them to reside there; a ghost-type one, to be specific. Rotom, maybe? I don't know. :( If they do wind up putting it here, then I could imagine this Pokémon to be in its wash form, since the ship is in an aquatic area. Either that, or maybe Giratina (very unlikely, though, since it might not be able to fit there due to its size). If it's not ghost, then Darkrai would be an excellent alternative, haha.

    Darkrai seems to be an exciting option, doesn't it? Although I wouldn't really think Darkrai fits with the whole "Ghost" thing. Rotom, like you said, would be a good idea to have Rotom in it's wash form in there.
     
    As much as I loved the Abandoned Ship, its music, Trainers, and the little puzzle inside of it, I doubt it'd have much more of a role than it did in the previous games. It was nice, though, as it was. A quiet, quaint little ship that held a few treasures inside, and just being a pretty little memento of whatever if was that happened there, and honestly I think it should stay that way. .3.
     
    It will definitely return. If it had a larger role in the plot, that would be pretty cool, but I don't think that will be the case. If they were to incorporate it into the plot, it would not only alter the story more than what needs to be, but it would kind of remove the sense of exploration. What I mean by that is, when you first see the Abandoned Ship, you're sailing across the waters with Mr. Briney and Peeko. You see that it's there, but you don't have access to it quite yet. Later you receive Surf and you have to go out of your way to go and explore the ship--but you want to because it's so interesting and mysterious-looking. The existence and location of the Abandoned Ship are one of the many ways that Hoenn really encourages the player to explore. If the plot forced you to go there, it just wouldn't be the same.

    With that being said, I do hope that the location is expanded upon and has a few new features and maybe even side-story-esque events. And if newer (post-gen 3) Pokémon are included in these remakes, I want the ship to be overrun with Frillish and Jellicent!
     
    I dont even remember much of RSE lol.
    was the abandoned ship based off that anime episode where there was a swampert hiding out in it and they all thought it was a monster or something??

    either way, i love the idea of being able to explore it more.
     
    Know what would be cool? To have some sort of scavenger's hunt involving it. Cause, tbh, in the main games it was useless.
     
    Ooh yes, I did like this area particularly especially for the music. I can imagine that the Abandoned Ship will get a huge graphical overhaul.
     
    Some people are saying there might be a legendary in the ship. And a ghost. May I just remind you of something?

    :D
     
    I doubt it'll be any more relevant than before, but if it doesn't have Ice Beam in it I'll be filing a formal complaint. That's the only reason I went in there anyway. If anything, the boat should have a new sidequest involving Briney/Peeko or your rival/Wally or something like that. It would be cool if it's expanded more than just two or three floors with a bunch of impassable little holes. :P
