I also hope they add the music gimmicks they had in BW for RSEmakes

Do you mean the music that plays during the different seasons, or the music that plays when you interact with specific characters?

Re: Ruby and Sapphire Remake Discussion (READ FIRST POST)

This is extremely minor, but I'd like to see the overworld NPC sprites redesigned so that each Trainer class gets their own individual sprite (I think this was the case in BW). No more having to guess whether a girl is an Ace Trainer or a Parasol Lady!

Also, does anyone think that some of the Dolls in the Exchange Service Corner are seriously overpriced? I mean a couple of them are pretty big, but 256 BP...I dunno, maybe I just suck at the Battle Frontier.

Yes, it though that the dolls where insanely overpriced because the best battle items where only 64BP(I think that they will lower the best items to 48BP like in B/W) and the best move touter moves where also 48BP. Also because BP where harder to earn in Gen III it just made it worse. So I think that they would lower prices for dolls in the remake to something like 70BP for the Kanto fully evolved start dolls and all other dolls lower then that.

Also I think that the overworld sprites would get upgraded just like in HG/SS.

I'd love to see secret bases have more functionality and make some of the accessories easier to get (example: the thing you put over holes in the floor I could NEVER get without my GameShark

Re: Ruby and Sapphire Remake Discussion (READ FIRST POST)

i could see R&S remakes like silver and gold: both had emerald and crystal respectivly,and come on the game freak game designers aren't lazy, they'll find a place for the weather trio and a added plot and sub-plots to go along with it... one thing is for sure -DO NOT RUSH THEM!- plenty of my friends still play emerald, it wouldn't be a smart move on there behalf...As for personal want and hopes to the games, thats all they are-hopes and wants,I'll let teh prowfeshinals deel wit dat!

They were fairly easy considering the sales were frequent.

Re: Ruby and Sapphire Remake Discussion (READ FIRST POST)

I would love to fight May/ Brendan after Lilycove City or maybe after beating the game.

Re: Ruby and Sapphire Remake Discussion (READ FIRST POST)

I prefer that the Team Magma and Team Aqua plots are done much better. I was hugely disappointed in the Team Rocket plot in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. The only true extra parts was the grunt in the dance theater and the Giovanni special event (Giovanni is weaker than he was in FRLG) and they don't even provide same level as the FRLG post elite four Team Rocket storyline. Also the Rockets in HGSS were too cartoonish. The Mt Chimney volcano plot in the Ruby remake is that the volcano was about to erupt naturally threatening nearby towns, so Team Aqua tried to save the towns by using their machine to cool down the volcano averting the eruption. However Team Magma attacks (in the Ruby remake Team Magma are Anarchist Extremists). You have to help Team Aqua to defend their Machine from the Magmas. In the Sapphire remake the Magmas are geologists who are trying to find ways to use nature to make more land were conducting an experiment to create a small scaled controlled eruption that would case minimal damage to nearby towns. This experiment was meant to be a test bed to demonstrate a way to artifically erupt a volcano, that would be then done on volcano are surrounded by ocean. However Team Aqua (in the Sapphire remake they are eco-terrorists) attacked damaging the machine and volcano is threatening to become uncontrollable. The player has to help the Magmas to beat off the Aquas and then turn off the Magma's machine before the Volcano could erupt.

Also the Team Magma/Aqua plots continue after the Elite Four. In the Sapphire remake Archie goes insane and starts ordering his followers to exact revenge on the ones who meddled in his plan to awake Kyogre. A similar thing happens to Maxie in the Ruby remake. To stop the Aquas (sapphire)/Magma's (Ruby) the players gets to join their rivals. Yes you can get to join either the Magmas (Sapphire) or the Aquas (Ruby). Then the player gets a series of missions to stop the villainous team from reaking havoc. For example in the Magma remake version Archie sends you to stop the Magma from taking over the Mossdeep Space Center (the Magmas were trying to steal the rocket fuel to so they can make the volcano erupt destroying all nearby settlements). In the Aqua remake Maxie sends you to Route 119 in the Remakes Route 119 is the location of a Hydro Electric Dam to stop the Aquas from blowing up the dam as they are trying to flood the entire river valley that eventually leads to Mauville City

Re: Ruby and Sapphire Remake Discussion (READ FIRST POST)

I think the whole Secret Base system should be overhauled. Now we have the always on C-Gear (and know it works), why not have the PokeNav download the location of a passerby's secret base and put it in your game, but you have to find it. To avoid the game glitching out if your friend's secret base is in the same place as yours (which happened a lot to me in the DPPt underground (which was, may I add, the third best thing about Gen IV after sort-of-3D graphics and Lucario), just moving the entrance a space to the side?

And wow- this has the largest amount of pages I've ever seen on a topic. Probably.

Surely Heatran would be a better option?

Re: Ruby and Sapphire Remake Discussion (READ FIRST POST)

I hope Norman's team has Zangoose instead of two Slakings.

Re: Ruby and Sapphire Remake Discussion (READ FIRST POST)

He will not get a legendary pokemon.

 

[apenpaap]

Re: Ruby and Sapphire Remake Discussion (READ FIRST POST)

The only way I can see Steven get a Legendary is if it were an important plot point that he caught it and has it, like with N. That's highly unlikely.

 

[Ishida]

Re: Ruby and Sapphire Remake Discussion (READ FIRST POST)

I went by his emerald team and gave him the Linoone instead of the second Slaking but... a Zangoose would be pretty cool too. I hope Bagon is available a lot earlier this time around it wasn't fun going into the Elite 4 with a Shelgon... at level 48 that wouldn't stop dying. Anyway if we get the Lucky Egg and the VS Seeker in this game oh that would be wonderful...

Meh, it would make more sense to have it than Bisharp.

 

[Ishida]

Re: Ruby and Sapphire Remake Discussion (READ FIRST POST)

I think Zangoose and Slaking at the same time might be a bit too much. How about just Slakoth or Linoone, Vigoroth, Slaking

Now for the $24 million question: Will N be in Hoenn? If so, which Legendary?
I'd guess Reshiram in Ruby, Zekrom in Sapphire (And no, you can't have them).

I don't see how Zangoose and Slaking at the same time might be a bit too much... Slaking has legendary stats but it has that ability for a reason and it really puts it at a disadvantage. Zangoose isn't too difficult either I'm sure if you have a Breloom/Combusken/Hariyama or a Machoke at that point you can get rid of those easily.

Don't forget Spinda!

No. Well he shouldn't. Then again Steven did appear in Heartgold and Soulsilver.
