It's really happening! We're finally getting the fabled Ruby and Sapphire remakes that people have speculated about since the original FR/LG first came out.
We haven't seen a single screenshot yet, but just hearing that it exists is good news.
I'm especially happy about the November release date because now this won't interfere with my plan to get Smash Bros 3DS for my birthday.

Yep! 100% real!
I'm excited about it, but not super excited. I really want Pokemon Z more than gen 3 remakes. But hey! At the end of the day it's pokemon and I will buy it no matter what! :D
Glad it's worldwide so we don't have to wait! I wonder what it means by fresh take on the story. I hope they bring back contests. I actually liked them. Also the graphics! Will they be 2D or 3D?
Oh going with Omega Ruby! I had Ruby as a kid.

I'm not convinced that picture is real.
Kyogre and Groudon's pictures are their old official art from the original Ruby and Sapphire.
Plus it seems highly unlikely that such a big thing would arrive the very day we're finding out the games even exist. And seriously, those three merging? Why would that even happen? At least with Kyurem it made sense and was part of its backstory.

Someone I follow on tumblr reblogged it. So I was like cool! Didn't think about it being real or not. XD
The more I look at the box art the more I wonder if those are mega forms of Kyogre and Groudon. They would have to continue the mega thing right?
My wish list: The return of contests, but upgraded. Can we please have a battle system like the one from the anime? The return of the Trick House (whatever that was called). Gen 2 starters mega forms! Pretty please!! Day and Night. I say this because the original gen 3 games didn't have it. No Team Magma and Aqua version exclusives. It was neat for each game having their own teams, but the story was better with them together. Your dad is still a gym leader. I thought it was cool. Character customization. Please don't take that way!! No roller skates. I did like the roller skates, but it would of been nice to be able to turn them off and just run with the stick rather than the D pad. Hopefully that stays as a gen six thing.

This here's the official logo for the Sapphire one. Notice how the fake image doesn't have it.
There's only one thing I'm particularly interested in seeing return....... secret bases!
Those were the best back in the day. Buying decorations to customize your own little hide-out that would appear in other people's games when you mix records with them. Fun stuff.

I was lurking on Serbii's forum and they had a thread saying that picture is indeed a fake.
As for secret bases. Theyre cool, but I kind felt they were lacking. If they bring them back I hope you can do more with them. It would be cool to have an online thing and hangout in your friend's secret base. In the gen six games you can talk to your friend with the mic. So it would be cool if you can do that in the secret base.

I knew this had to come eventually. Although I've still got to get that 3DS.

And now we have a tiny teaser video showing Groudon and Kyogre in an ocean setting that could have been taken from X and Y for all we know.

Wow that shows a lot. -_-
But it looks nice. I wonder if this confirms that will they will being using 3D instead of 2D. It has to be since the game is coming out so quick! They're probably using X's and Y's engine.

YES!!!! 3D Graphics and Mega pokemon are confirmed!!!! Also new designs for the player's characters! They look great!

Swampert has clearly been lifting, because he is JACKED.
I love how they gave Sceptile the Grass/Dragon type.
"We need Sceptile to have a double-weakness too, so that Blaziken can be the most powerful of the three."
Release date November 21st. Sounds like Christmas to my broke self.
I really hope they include custom outfits in this one. I can't say I like the outfits the new player characters have. They kind of look like wet-suits (which makes sense considering Hoenn is 60% water) I noticed that Brendan has a darker skin tone than in the previous games, but in the trailers he has lighter skin, so it seem we'll have that at least.

I really hope you can change the characters too. I like the wet suits! They make sense. XD
