Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Announced - Update

Hopefully they make them suck less. Gen III was the worst.

Gen III was the generation where they made Pokemon by slapping swords onto animals. Your opinion couldn't be more wrong.

Anybody remember how adorably stupid the team leaders were in Ruby & Sapphire? There plans made NO sense.

Yeah. They were fairly retarded. But, I'm of the opinion that no "Team" antagonist since Rocket has made any sense. Their goals were simple. Steal rare Pokemon, run casinos, and make money.

Flare was even worse. Hey, let's genocide a large part of the population because we don't think they're "pretty".

Also, I did not give a shit about that sad, ancient, viking dude and his dumb Flabébé.

Point of order, they didn't want to genocide the world because it wasn't pretty. The leader of Team Flare basically thought that the only way to make it so that there were enough resources for everyone to live comfortably, they would need to depopulate most of the planet. That's why they were hoarding money and material goods. They were basically going to bunker down, wipe out the population, and then rebuild from scratch only now there's no such thing as scarcity. The villain had a whole big rant about how he tried to save the world with his wealth but no matter how much he gave away there was still poverty and inequality and people starving to death in places.

That's not to say this story was told particularly well and yeah AZ was dumb why did they even include that. But the villain's motives were more compelling to me than the other omnicidal maniac cyrus (who just wanted to destroy everything because he's nucking futs)

So to stop large portions of the world from dying he's going to kill off a large portions of the world?.... Was this written by Bioware?

I hope it's more a case of remaking Emerald as Ruby and Sapphire, because I loved the Battle Frontier. That was the one thing I found bad about X and Y - nothing to do after the endgame. With the Battle Frontier shown in, that's a lot to play about with post-League, just as it was in Platinum.

Judging but SS/HG I would imagine they would be doing the Battle Frontier, however i think the rest will likely be as it was in ruby and sapphire with the exclusive legendaries and criminal teams.
Also I think the reason X/Y had little post game was because of the improved online feature... but yh they should have had something to do post game other than preparing for competitive online.

Full new games, not just a fresh coat of paint? Colour me intrigued. :3
