    The TV in RSE played a very large role, perhaps the largest out of all the games. Some examples are the interviews with the two reporters, the interviews after a contest at the Halls, the Lilicove sales, swarms, and the Lati traveling around Hoenn being announced as soon as you defeated the champ...actually one of the first things we do is watch (well read) Norman having a match after fixing the clock. Do you think that GF will keep all of these features? Could they make the TV even more important? After all recent games have introduced new tv shows which interesting trivia, such as one in B2W2 saying Aaron of the Sinnoh E4 was a Bug catcher, and later a Gym leader before becoming a member of the E4.

    Would you like to see the TV play a larger role? How so? Or do you not care about the Televisions at all? If so, could they replace the TV's with something else, like a Pokenet for the player to find out all of the things the TV's report?
     
    I liked the special events broadcasted on the TVs; it's a feature I'd like to see return. Not sure how it could play a bigger role, though it could maybe broadcast the events going on in the storyline (e.g., the submarine being stolen, the people at the Weather Institute being saved, etc.)? There could also be more special events, though what types I'm unsure of XD Maybe if more legendaries are included in the games, there could be broadcasts hinting at their locations or something.
     
    You should get PokeNet in your room i think and also choosing a broadcast on T.Vs
     
    The TVs were a fun little gimmick and I think they should remain a feature in ORAS. However, I'm not sure how much they could do reading expanding it. I mean unless they really go outside the box, there isn't much there.

    Ah, like the weather institute hinted at the location of the Terra and Marine caves. Perhaps they could hint at the location of the Kami trio members, if they are added to these games, with the institute adding more specifics.

    I'll like it, if the TV could mention story elements of the Kanto primary games. It would be like how DP mentioned GS' events (though I feel them doing so will make more people expect Kanto remakes...though Kanto has appeared on a game on each system).
     
    I hope this time around, instead of just text you get an actual visual popping up on your screen of things like Gabby broadcasting the interview you gave her :)

    I wouldn't mind if they did that. Especially for some of the inteview shows. They could have trainers from the other regions appear on Tv. Or maybe even feature parts of other regions, such as Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, and Unova, giving us a taste of them in 3D without actually making games with those regions (yet).
     
    I'm not really sure how they could expand it either, because they covered a lot of things with the programs they already had. Interviews, sales, weather, etc. I guess included storyline events would work, but what would that really add to the story because we as the player already know what's going on.
     
    It was definitely a nice thing to have around, but I don't believe if they'll be having it playing larger of a role here. It hasn't in originals, and they'd like to keep ORAS resembling them as much as possible, as they're remakes.

    Though, perhaps they might be able to add animations, so that when you click on some television, you could actually see what's going on rather than just reading text? I don't know about everyone else, but personally, I'd love it.

    I like this idea! It sort of reminds me a bit of Colosseum/XD, where you could actually see the reporter talking and whatnot. It'd make TV watching a lot more interesting~
     
    The TVs in Hoenn were pretty cool. I know they got the most customization outta all of the games, so there's a pro. I also know in Emerald, you could do like record mixing with involving TVs, and swarms. If they could include that in these games, oh how epic the TVs would become. I'd like to see Pokémon from other regions to become swarms after it being mentioned on a TV B)
     
    I'm pretty sure the TVs will be a great feature in this games just like they were in RSE. Maybe they can have the Secret Base TV's be functional, perhaps?
     
    Hmm, I wonder if they could make the TV function like the PokéGear radio in G/S/C/HG/SS with different channels, a broadcast of the swarm Pokémon, and...a Team Magma/Aqua takeover?!
     
    I think that it should be like Colloseum and XD where you could actually see the reporter.
