Now that we have footage of the overworld, including clear landmarks like Fortree and the hoenn cycling road, plus a confirmed and well detailed Map, I can finally agree that this is a Hoenn based game, though an idea occurred to me and has got me wondering whether this new world mumbo jumbo is fans of pokemon or fans of Hoenn-gen games.
Ie roughly the line said by them was "ORAS promises to take fans of the series through a fascinating new world."
But within Pokemon as a franchise, there are several "series" of games, to which we tend to call "generations", for exapmle: RSE/FRLG is a series within the Pokemon franchise such as XY/ORAS is another "series" of games.
In this case the new world is simply a 3d-hoenn versus the limited 2D it used to have. and fits my description of remake
Or are they referring to a possible "distortion-world" like realm that Kyorge and Groudon once lived in that is visitable. Which in this case deviates from true remake status as far I am concerned.
Either way I'm now officially happy these games are coming out, but this new world part is what I gotta know about before i determine whether or not I'll call them Remakes.
But yeah, I'm glad(and have been) for Hoenn revisits.
As for the Kyogre/Ground changes, I'm a little sad they didnt give Kyorge a weakspot Groudon can exploit, but then again, I prefer Rayquaza outta that bunch...so it's nothing that'll effect me one bit.
Though I'm interested to see how my Kyorge, Reign, handles in their primal design, but not narly as much as I'm looking forward to my Mega Mudzy
