Gen 3 remake (alpha/omega)

[GAMEchief]

[Use]

what about emerald tho
omg and it comes out this year too

[GAMEchief]

I don't know if I should get it. I want to play the generation; I hear it's good. But it's also going to cost the entirety of a new game, and I haven't even started X yet.

[Use]

dude x and y were good gen 3 were good
this is gonna be great

[GAMEchief]

I have Link Between Worlds and Super Paper Mario also to beat on 3DS before I even pick up a new game.

And Super Smash Bros. comes out this summer, don't it?

[Use]

yeah i cant wait for SSB
i dont have to pay rent or anything though lol so i have money to spend

[GAMEchief]

Too many games for me.

Maybe I'll get it used in the far future.

[Kingz V]

Need to upgrade my nintendo hardware soon. >.> the wii & ds-lite don't have the kewl new games.

[GAMEchief]

I luff my 3DS, but I'd suck a dick for a Wii U. I wish it was cheaper. The games on it are gorgeous and look sooo fucking fun. But, you know, money. The 3DS is hella cheap doe.

[GAMEchief]

Today's bullshit 'sneak peak':

[Use]

those drought and rainy day (?) animations look awesome though

[GAMEchief]

MEH.

didn't impress me too much

[Rajani]

i was excited for the announcement but i dont even have a 3DS and id probably want to get X/Y before i played OR/AS
@use, the ability youre thinking of was drizzle btw, not rainy day

[GAMEchief]

Drought ==> Sunny Day

Unless they renamed Sunny Day in newer games.

[The Unintelligible]

Drought (Ability) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia
Drizzle (Ability) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

Are exclusive abilities to Groudon and Kyogre. Sunny Day and Rainy Day are moves.

[Rajani]

actually youre thinking of rain dance. sunny day is a move and drought is groudons ability. so yeaaaa.

not exclusive to them

Gen 3 was one of the best gens and games. I expect great things from the remakes. There is a promise if new content to what was one ov the larger games.

[GAMEchief]

I didn't think there was a game larger than Gold/Silver, since it included two regions.

This. That's why Gold/Silver are my fav Pokemon games ever. This remake is giving me flashbacks of fond memories, man.

[GAMEchief]

Same. Beating the E4 and unlocking a nostalgia trip of another half of the game was absolutely amazing.

[C0FFINCASE]

The two regions in Gold and Silver probably make it the largest but Ruby and Sapphire have a pretty large post game. Several islands and events. I would wager the game world is similar in size to that of 2nd Gen.
Silver is one of my favorite games. I did more in that game than any other. Crystal was my favorite special edition. There was so much story telling in that game.

[GAMEchief]

I don't like the stories though. They are cheesy and dumb. I just like gyms. New area, new gym. Sometimes some sort of slight puzzle-esque challenge or sidequest. And then a gym.

Man, I just realized Pokemon is the only game I like grinding in.

[The Unintelligible]

Stories are fine. Anything that prolongs the game is fine IMO. As long as the stories are not frivolous or anything.

[GAMEchief]

I've yet to enjoy a story in Pokemon. :/

[Use]

yeh i skip through all the talking i just wanna fight stuff

[Coarse]

Can't wait to go through that annoying sky pillar falling floor puzzle in 3D.

[sylverx]

So excited

[Amnitave]

Oh god.. that Sky pillar..

[C0FFINCASE]

The Megas are rolling in. Need MegaMetagross.

[Tokiya]

Really wondering how they're going to re-"make" this and explain the megas that never existed in gen 3. >_>;
Also, not too familiar with Megas yet, I skipped out on X and Y, I was too disappointed at how easy they made everything.

Wasn't easy, just different. Was meant to be less intensive as Black & White, wasn't a bad thing really. Just a big jump to make and they didn't give a lot of indication.

[C0FFINCASE]

Megametagross & secret bases confirmed. Prepare thy anus.

[kamikazisan]

I'm actually looking forward to Alpha Sapphire. I loved the original sapphire game and X and Y were a lot of fun to play. So yay!

So many pokemon games....

[Down for maintenance]

I'm so freaking excited to get Sapphire. I'm actually buying a 2ds this weekend specifically so I can play it when the new games come out. Gen 3 was one of my favourite.

[C0FFINCASE]

Games came out this past Friday. Until December you can get a shiny Beldum as a mystery gift.
They added a lot of the modern features and systems to the game which makes it refreshing to play as the game let's you spawn "rare" versions of pokemon that have special moves, natures &/or stats. The more you use this feature the better the pokemon you find are. Even if you don't like the pokemon they give you good tender for Wonder Trade.
The maps and some of the small enhancement details are really great, like flocks of wingull on the beaches that take off as you run by them.

[Haywire]

I picked up Omega and fell in love with it.
