Sequel or remake?

[lugia61617]

I mean, the idea of a whole TYPE just apparently not being "discovered" for so long doesn't even make sense to begin with from an in-universe perspective. Maybe it's just that thing where they have an NPC explain a new gameplay element, rather than any sort of supposed scientific event within the Pokémon universe?

Well, I just figured Fairies were some kind of new "evolution" so to speak, and before that all Pokemon of that type were other types (Flabebe would have been Grass, and all retconned pokemon were not retconned). Their new traits just spontaneously arose in the middle of some major battle where a Salamence failed to land a Dragon Claw on a Wigglytuff or something.

... Interesting idea... I suppose that makes about as much sense as professors simply not noticing the Fairy-type before the events of XY.

How does this account for the existence of the Pixie Plate? Or the fact that transferred Pokémon from pre-Gen VI games gain Fairy type upon transfer? ... And wouldn't "recently evolved" or "formed" make more sense than "discovered" in the XY's advertising if this were the case...?

Oh that's easy, Arceus made the plate and then the evolution happened.

Well now you're just making excuses.

I might as well say that when Fairy type was "discovered" or whatever in Kalos, Arceus just went back in time and made it so that Fairy type existed in the first place. And that's why Fairy type will also exist in Hoenn.

I think it will be a remake kinda like heartgold and soulsilver

This has already been said many times...
We actually KNOW now that it will be a remake... Iwata confirmed it. (See here)

 

[ArvAl]

But I quite doubt about this M Evolution. They say that this case only happened so far in Kalos so I don't know Mega stones will be imported to Hoenn(maybe) or other new region....

*gasp* let's wait till the release to find out

 

[Nymphia]

All the pokemon that are Fairy types are going to be Fairy types in ORAS. However, it's casuality that the two Fairy types that debuted in Hoenn got Megas.

I would like it to be a sequel, but realistically it's more likely to be like a remake.

OHMYGOD CAN PEOPLE STOP TALKING ABOUT WHETHER THEY WANT IT TO BE A SEQUEL OR REMAKE?!

We KNOW it's a remake. Iwata CONFIRMED it.
This has been repeated at least THREE times in this very thread!

That is all.

(Sorry if that sounded offensive... )

You do sound a bit harsh. You are correct, though. For a bit more solid proof, there's Nintendo's financial results briefing.

The announcement was made only yesterday, so we were unable to include them in the supplementary document for this financial briefing, but the latest installments from the Pokémon franchise, 'Pokémon Omega Ruby' and 'Pokémon Alpha Sapphire' will be released globally for Nintendo 3DS in November this year. They are full-remakes of the Game Boy Advance 'Pokémon Ruby' and 'Pokémon Sapphire' games, which sold more than 5.44 million units in Japan and more than 16.22 million units worldwide.

Should this thread be closed?

Yeah, you're right... Sorry everyone!
Didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings or anything...

Should this thread be closed?

I think so...

 

[Proxima Centauri B]

Since the games are confirmed to be full remakes, this thread does not need to be open since that question was answered. Closing.
