Pokemon Omega Ruby / Pokemon Alpha Sapphire = Pokemon Theta Emerald


I've come to realise that people are beginning to BEG for Pokemon Emerald remakes in GREAT numbers lately...
People are even making fake box arts for this game called Pokemon Theta Emerald.



It's actually really sad to think that hardly anyone understands just what is going on here...
You're all asking for something that is ALREADY being made!!...
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire actually ARE Pokemon EMERALD games (you can call either of these games Theta Emerald if you want)...
Is there any proof behind the chance of these being Pokemon Emerald games you ask..well YEAH there is!!
Pokemon Gold and Silver were released on the Game Boy Color,hence enabling those who bought the Gold version to catch the legendary bird Ho-Oh and the legendary sea monster Lugia for those who bought the Silver version.


Later on Pokemon Crystal version was released,bringing the legendary dog Suicune into the physical mix of the game story for the first time (heck,it was even in the game intro).
                                              
8 games later...After the full Hoenn and Sinnoh generations....
Hoenn GEN (GEN 3):
*Ruby/Sapphire
*Fire Red/Leaf Green
*Emerald

Sinnoh GEN (GEN 4):
*Diamond/Pearl
*Platinum
....came the HeartGold and SoulSilver versions on the Nintendo DS (Gold and Silver version remakes) to join the GEN 4 count.
                              
Now of course the games here have Gold/Silver in they names (in order to give respect for the games that started the Pokemon gen they're made after) ,but they actually AREN'T Gold/Silver.
The reason?..It's all in the story plot.
Suicune wasn't included into the story until Crystal version right?...
Riiiight....you SHOULD get it by now (Suicune being included in the new games both BUFF the fact that they ARE Pokemon Crystal)...
Now that I've already gone through the process of explaining to you that HeartGold and SoulSilver are actually both Pokemon Crystal versions,then it should be much simpler for you to understand why in a few months (after the games launch date) I was actually right about Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire being Emerald versions.
I WON't be giving any spoilers as of yet for the new games explaining WHY they are actual Emerald versions..it's a little too early for the revealing part (my family would kill my page if I do)...
Me revealing Megaman for Smash Bros Wii U/3DS and ALMOST revealing Greninja (didn't make the post in time) was already enough for them..(stuff could be hidden from me soon enough and I don't want that).
Of course at least some of you guys might take my information as a downright rumour,but they won't take the chance.
You might not believe me,but some games were actually edited because of me (I'll try to make a post about that another time)..

NOW....you may be asking yourself...exactly WHY would they make a crystal game or even an Emerald game into 2 separate games...the answer is SIMPLE......MONEY (for anyone who understands politics that is)!!!!
It WOULD be easy to make an Emerald version for the Nintendo 3DS,but it would also be EASIER to make 2 separate games where the buyer gets to CHOOSE which main mascot they want in they game..
With TWO main mascots (instead of one) to choose from,the odds of the game being bought by a person (especially the ones NEW to Pokemon) DEFINITELY go up.
If you don't like Groudon,you could buy Alpha Sapphire instead.
If you don't like Kyogre,you could buy Omega Ruby instead...
Do you know how much game sales they would lose to Pokemon newbies if the only legend to choose from on the cover was Rayquaza??!!...
HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of sales would be lost!!
Not every newbie researches enough to learn that the game won't be about JUST that legend you know....
They're basically selling Rayquaza with Groudon and Kyogre's face..SEPARATELY...
Smart right?
Which Hoenn Legend (out of the Rivalling 2) is your favourite?
Which game will you be buying?


My favourite legend here is Groudon and I'm definitely going for the Omega Ruby version.

Just how great will these be?

I've known about these games being on official standby for a good few months now,and therefore they announcement serves as no surprise to me whatsoever.
Take note though of me actually mentioning the games to be on STANDBY for a good while and NOT that they were in progress....
YES,yes...these games actually WEREN'T in progress during all those months of rumour...and that's the terrifying part....
{May till November (of the same year) is a REALLY small time interval to be attempting the production of a game under such huge demand}
These games weren't even in the original plan for a 2014 video game release.
{Now if that is so...the question would be..just what exactly could have caused them to change their mind so suddenly..right?}
Well the possible causes would be...
1:{The chance of Economic recovery and Upliftment}
The original Ruby and Sapphire games were HUGE successes during they time of release (scoring around $7 Million in just two months),therfore making a Ruby and Sapphire remake a definitely good choice for a chance at economic recovery.

2:{The existence of a release formula}
The Pokemon Company has been following a kind of solid formula/pattern for game releases and the Ruby and Sapphire remakes for sure fall into this pattern.

(a) 2 new games --> (Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire GBA)

(b) The remakes of games from 2 generations behind (Pokemon Red and Green GBC) -> (Fire Red and Leaf Green GBA)

(c) A sequel for the 2 new games -> (Pokemon Emerald GBA)

{Pokemon Z would fit in as the sequel for the 6th gen formula}

Nintendo has been running into a pretty bad economic instability lately (ever since the terrible launch sales of the Nintendo Wii U) and they have been what you would call DESPERATE lately..the major problem with that is the fact that they would apparently rush a game JUST to get an early enough chance at grabbing the possible resulting money pool (from sales).
Pokemon X and Y is a good example of a rushed game by them (we all know how damaging those resulting glitches were) and I fear the same possible fate for these 2 games..
Money is low..and the major public influence/fame for the Ruby and Sapphire series could surely encourage a rush in they production...
I'm of course hoping that this doesn't damage either the technical stability or (especially) the overall content of the resulting "new born" Hoenn region.
{Pokemon X and Y was already a bit too uneventful for my taste and it for sure looks like the same could be in store for these new Ruby and Sapphire games}
It's highly unlikely that these games won't be affected (by a production rush) but We still can't know for sure...
As always though,time would have to tell.
What do you have to say about this announcement?
Leave a comment if you can.
