Mega Shiftry seems very plausible now, with Sidney's Ace Pokémon changing is a good indication as to why this might have happened. Mega Shiftry would most likely come along with Mega Ludicolo too!

I'd be extremely happy is former does wind up becoming a thing! Shiftry is a pretty underrated Pokémon, in my opinion (well, its stats aren't that great, I understand, but it's still rarely talked-about), and this would finally be able to give it the boost that it deserves. It's worked with Absol pretty well, if you ask me, so who's to say same can't be done with this one?
 
As long as it isn't the third Magic Bounce Mega in a row (introduced for these games, fourth counting Absol). For some reason the two crystal theme Pokemon had their abilities hidden only for them to be revealed to be the same one...why keep it a secret anyways? Well I guess for hype...

I guess Wallace could still be the champion of one of the two. Maybe Omega Ruby so AlphaSapphire won't be so much about water with an evil water team, a water gym leader, and a water champion, along with a water mascot...

Having the Champions be different depending on Version is a bit much, in my opinion. It would be unfair to those who want to face Steven to have to fight Wallace, whose team is completely different, instead. Having Wallace and Juan be Version-exclusive Gym Leaders would make more sense, because their Gym teams are basically the same, but even then I'd say it's unlikely, because an Emerald exclusive (Juan) shouldn't be limited to just one game (the same with Wallace, being an Emerald Champion, being a Champion exclusive to one game. It's Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, not Omega Ruby and Alpha Emerald). Having Wallace take Steven's place as Champion post-game in both games is the most fair thing they can do, if they want to maintain Wallace's Emerald title.

But regardless, I think we're going to see both Wallace and Juan in the next issue of CoroCoro, and hopefully they'll say what Juan will be up to.

Emerald interestingly had more in common with Sapphire than Ruby with their exclusives and Aqua being the final evil team fought...would be interesting if it did that with the gym leaders and champ tbh.
I think maybe Juan won't appear. I'm starting to think GF will go ahead with Delta Emerald...
 
I think Delta Emerald will not happen. If anything it'll be the Z version.
Gen VI's primary focus is on Kalos after all.

I am expecting some shared events between Z and ORAS, just like FRLG and Emerald did back in Gen III, considering the fair bit of references to Hoenn by NPCs in XY (excluding hotel guests, it's still a rather significant number).

They take place at different times so it'll have to be references in 'Z' only. Unless 'Z' is a prequel taking place at the same time. I have a feeling that they're going to do ORAS, then Z, then Delta Emerald...GF seems to have thrown Emerald outside of the window so far. They also patented DE at the same time as ORAS while they didn't even do that with Grey/Gray. Well I guess GF could've thought of making only one like how they thought of having the second Kanto remake be Water Blue instead of Leaf Green

If I remember correctly, Pokemon Grey was patented and had its own domain.

Still don't think DE will happen at least for now, because I'm expecting sales for that (if it were released) to be quite bad. And truth to be told, Hoenn doesn't deserve as much attention compared to Kalos, like what I've mentioned earlier.

The time factor doesn't really matter IMO. Gen V proved it. I'm thinking that events, such as the Naval Rock and Birth Island events (in FRLG and Emerald), similar events will happen in both ORAS and "Z". Or if Gamefreak decided that an enhanced version release is boring again, a XY prequel sounds splendid.

If they add the Naval Rock and Birth Island to 'Z' it'll be the farthest place traveled that we know (as we know those islands are in Hoenn, and Kanto is near Hoenn so some of those islands being shared between FrLg and Emerald made sense). Hey maybe those island were added to the Hoenn map. Irc they weren't in the original map. Maybe the island with the very tall rock is Naval Island as I recall it had a tall rock where you find Ho-oh, while Lugia is deep in the island.

I guess I didn't phrase it properly, my bad. I meant events such as Naval Rock - which happened in both FRLG and Emerald. They could do something similar for both versions.

Considering both Kalos and Hoenn are maritime regions, I do see such a possibility.

Off topic but aren't all six regions (and mini regions) maritime? They all border the sea. Hmm...Platinum and HGSS didn't share any similar in game events, just hand out legends like the Shiny Beast trio.

Sinnoh wasn't, right? Oh wait, Canalave.

I always have this impression that Sinnoh is landlocked.
Click to expand...
I thought Kalos was going to be the first as I thought it would be the Paris and it's Metro area like Unova was New York City. Though it wasn't. I wouldn't mind a landlock region with a few lakes, it'll be the opposite of the Hoenn region xD.

In the official site they say ORAS will get closer to the heart of the secrets behind Mega Evolution. I wonder what they'll add to the lore of them. I hope that 'Z' does reference ORAS then, maybe like B2W2 did (with the villainous teams), noting what was uncovered in the Hoenn region.
 
A landlocked region would be quite interesting; don't think it's happened yet at all owo It'd be cool to have another region connecting to one of the current ones. There's also a possibility of a region connecting to Kalos because of the train station in Couriway; seems odd that it's there yet isn't used for anything.

As for ORAS being referenced in the next game(s), I also hope they are, especially since they occur before the events in any of the other regions (except Kanto's; the events in it occur around the same time as those in Hoenn).
 
Not too proficient on the Pokemon timeline and all of that technical business, but I do think it would be in their best interest to reference ORAS in later games, like a possible 'Z' sequel to the Kalos games currently released. Wonder if they'll continue to have Primal Reversion as a factor in the plot outside of Hoenn. If it stays exclusive to Groudon and Kyogre, that's unlikely.

And Rayquaza if they give it one (which will be for these games unless they go ahead and make Delta Emerald). I do see it being a Hoenn thing, but I think they may fit Zygarde into the lore of why the natural energy vanished (it likely caused chaos so it had to calm it down) thus explaining the evolution of the Weather Trio into weaker forms. Other than that I don't see any Primals in 'Z'.
'Z' may be a third version, people thought they were done with remakes and look at us now, so we may still see third versions instead of sequels. I'll prefer a prequel though.

Anyways I hope we see Primal Rayquaza soon, but she may be shown later...
 
I think it would be nice for them to release Z after ORAS, returning back to Kalos in a sort of sequel-esqe game right after playing through Hoenn would be a nice way to finish up Generation VI.

Although, they could take the completely different route and release Delta Emerald in 2015, it's something that's never been done before and it's almost like a third game to the remakes rather than X & Y. Emerald had a lot more to expand upon from Ruby & Sapphire so it would actually be worthy of making a remake of, having storyline changes, area changes, features, battle frontier etc.

Maybe 'Z' will have as much changes as Emerald did with a new champion but still be a third version.
If they do Delta Emerald it'll proably be 2016 after 'Z'. Interestingly RSE were the only games to not be released in a row (until now with XY'Z' likely being a thing). So maybe 2015 to get them together. But then it'll seem like GF is milking Gen VI and the Hoenn remakes as much as they can instead of moving on...
 
I don't think they'll wait until 2016 to release a sequel for Kalos; it'll either be within the year or not at all. At that point, I would hope that they're working on generation seven, or in other words a game with all-new Pokemon, region, features, and such. After ORAS is released, it'll still be plausible for them to develop a Kalos sequel, but not for that long.

A sequel takes longer to make so maybe a third version if they'll like to end it by 2015 and have Gen VII by 2016, though ORAS will give them a break to work on a sequel (the story was just not sequel worthy unlike BW...and we may end up with sequelitis). Though we shouldn't assume it'll be one or the other, could be neither too...

Anyways back on topic I'll like for some Emerald features to be shown next issue, or at least teased (like they did with contests in this recent Corocoro release)
