WHAT TO EXPECT FROM POKEMON OMEGA RUBY & ALPHA SAPPHIRE?
Move Tutors
The few move tutors that existed in Pokémon X and Y would only teach a very small group of Pokémon moves. Plenty of moves doled out by move tutors in previous generations are now available as TMs, but many still remain unattainable.
Want
a Clefable with Softboiled? You'll need to transport it across from
Generation III through to Generation VI. That's a lot of time and
effort, plus when it arrives, it won't even be tournament legal (denoted
by a blue pentagon symbol on their information page).
Games
released later in each generation of Pokémon have always added several
move tutors. Hopefully we'll see some packing classic moves like Body
Slam, alongside a whole host of new moves from X and Y.
New Areas, Old Legends
Previous
remakes in the series have each had extra areas bolted on to them such
as the Sevii Islands and the Embedded Tower. Judging from the new Hoenn
map, that may very well be the case here too.
New areas and buildings were home to several legendary Sinnoh Pokémon in HeartGold and SoulSilver, as was the case with Johto and Hoenn legendaries in FireRed and LeafGreen.
A
hint towards this theory lies in the north of the new map - a shrouded
island that conjures up images of Generation IV's Distortion World, home
of the Giratina. Could the Strange Souvenir item from X and Y be something to do with it?
Many competitive players hope for the return of the tough-as-nails Battle Frontier from Pokémon Emerald too. There's a fair shot it may come back, but there will certainly be a battle arena of some sort to earn Battle Points in.
It's Amie, Pikachu!
The rather odd Pokémon-Amie minigame, where you increase affection with your Pokémon for battle perks, is back with a vengeance.
The
recent teaser trailer shows Pikachu cosplaying as a rock star,
professor; even Mexican wrestler. The message underneath the reveal
reads: "Is this some kind of contest hall?"
This may be a tease
for a new twist on the long-forgotten Pokémon Contests and Super
Contests that previously appeared in Generation III and IV.
These
were where Pokémon would be judged by their condition (coolness,
beauty, cuteness, smartness, or toughness) and moves. Condition could
only be raised by Pokéblocks or Poffins. Will they return or perhaps be
superseded by X and Y's Poké Puffs?
New Mega Evolutions
While
no new Pokémon have been confirmed as of yet, we do know of at least
five new Mega Evolutions for old favourites. Sceptile, Swampert,
Sableye, Metagross, Latios, and Latias will all mega-evolve later this
year, with new Abilities to mix up the metagame yet again.
The
teased Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre aren't being treated as Mega
Evolutions but rather as new forms. This could mean a couple of new
moves and some stat readjustments for the brawling rivals. No word on a
Primal Rayquaza yet, but it'd make sense.
Missing Items
The
Pokémon Transporter, released earlier this year, allowed you to trade
over Pokémon from Generation III, IV, and V games to complete the
National Pokédex. It did not, however, allow you to transport held items
along with them.
This means many items from earlier games in the
series allowing for boosts and form changes have yet to turn up in
Generation VI. Expect held items like Soul Dew, as well as an assortment
of Gems and Berries to come back soon.
Super Secret Bases
The
real game changer. A Super Secret Base can be set up using the Secret
Power move at designated spots on the world map (specific bushes, trees,
or wall nooks). After unpacking your Secret PC you can spruce up the
place to your liking perhaps with all manner of decorations, from
labyrinthine puzzles to dozens of plushes.
Then, either by
StreetPassing or sharing your QR Code online, you can challenge people
to battle you in your lair. When you visit a friend's base, you can
recruit them as Secret Pals for your base.
Not only will these pals help you guard your base under your own battle rules, they'll also reward you with with SuperTed-esque
"special powers." These sound much like the Pass Power and O-Power
systems from Generation V and VI, mixed with a sprinkling of the Join
Avenue system from Black 2 and White 2.
Flags,
returning from Generation IV underground bases, can be nabbed from
rival bases to increase your rank and, in turn, boost Secret Pals'
powers. Expect the usual experience multipliers and hatching time
reductions, plus some nifty new ones.
Back in the original Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire games,
Secret Base rivals could be battled for extra EXP after beating the
Pokémon Champion. If the same holds true for these remakes, levelling up
and EV training would suddenly become much easier. Ask a friend to get a
team of six Blisseys with non-damaging moves and you'll never need to
grind again!
The only downside to all this appears to be that character customisation from Pokémon X and Y may not make it across to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
We're assuming this as Secret Pals appear as trainer classes (such as
Aroma Lady, Rich Boy, and Lass), rather than customised get-ups.
