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.

No More WI-FI!!??

As man steadily progressed with the knowledge of technology and watched it grow,so did gaming along with it....
Now if there is any MAJOR enhancement for the world of gaming that happens to be most praised among many,it FOR SURE is the online capability that won that over.
Sadly..like the image here states however,Nintendo will be cutting online access for all of the Nintendo DS and Wii games that support this feature.
The servers (networks that feed the online information) will be shut down from MAY 20th 2014.
No more leaving those cocky Asian's in the dust (Mario Kart Wii/DS) from my home living room.
No more online battles for Pokemon on my DS (4th nor 5th gen)...
Yeah...all of that will be gone soon.
However,the thing about this is..Nintendo is only really doing this to ease their company money drain (from the BAD Nintendo Wii U sales).
I'm seeing a LITTLE hope here..but I can't guarantee it..at least as yet..
I'm personally hoping that Nintendo would make this a TEMPORARY degrade for the system and someday bring these Wi-Fi features back (most likely the same with you the reader) after the system has been shut down.
Time will have to tell of course..
{Sigh}..
Before then,let's just enjoy what we have while it still lasts...

Proof that Nintendo is really doing this and that I'm not sharing BU**S*I*!!
https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/vyWpoM6CBIe6FjW8NIY7bvzOrgBURhzw
Yeah..this is from the LEGIT "Nintendo.com".
If this isn't proof enough,I don't know what is.

{Anime review} - Pokemon: The Origin

{WARNING}
This is a REVIEW of the Pokemon Origins anime series and therefore WILL contain major spoilers.
{If you DON'T want a spoiler then it is highly recommended that you watch the series first}
LINK TO SERIES HERE - http://www.animeget.com/pokemon-the-origin-anime
[[[OBSERVATIONS]]]
The Pokemon X and Y anime is FINALLY here and of course much has been upgraded since the previous generations of pokemon anime's..
Things like graphical design (Color and animation) and scene layout
(quality of of storyline/event distribution).
Since The Pokemon Origins anime fits into the same generation as the X and Y anime,these same things were expected (and also delivered) for the Origins series.
Of course these are things that I and many fans out there should expect to see...but there also is a few details on the anime that weren't expected...
Other than the graphics and storyline display,the pokemon company has also taken some time to improve on the battle mechanics and animation.
*TECHNOLOGY
First up,the technology introduced in the plot of this anime is far greater than any that has ever existed in previous anime's of the Pokemon series.
[Pokemon gyms and other battle facilities in the anime now have screens which monitor and project the LIVE status of Pokemon health in battle.
{Causing the anime to to tie in much more with the health bar layout of the game series}
*ITEMS AND ACCESSORIES - {MAJOR SPOILER}
The anime also (SHOCKINGLY) includes the existence of the Mega stones..
These Mega stones were never existent in the original story of the Johto/Kanto regions and instead were only originally introduced since the official announcement of Pokemon X and Y {The Kalos region}.
Red uses the Mega stone on his Charizard in order to aid with his attempted capture with Mewtwo.
[[[CONCLUSION]]]
This appears to be somewhat of a baby step for a possible path in the Pokemon anime series that has long been asked for by major fans...
Of course upgrades to battle mechanics is simple enough and this anime is seen by many as a just a plain remake...but NO!!..
LOOK AT THIS PROPERLY..
The creators of this anime have made sure that they went as far as changing the original storyline..
{I RECKON THAT THIS WAS DONE TO PROPERLY FIT THE JOHTO/KANTO STORY WITH THAT OF KALOS}
I'm not saying it WILL happen..but it to me seems like a good idea to remake the stories of other region's as well.
I don't take this anime as a simple remake..I take it as a NEW BEGINNING FOR THE SERIES....
MAYBE...JUST MAYBE...WE MAY SEE RED IN THE KALOS REGION...
LOOK AT HOW FAST HE SPED THOUGH JOHTO AND KANTO...
AND HOW LONG ASH TOOK HIMSELF TO GET WHERE HE IS...
RED IS POSSIBLY COMING BACK GUYS...
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A BATTLE OF ASH Vs RED..

MEGA Pokemon VS the MEGA Digimon!!..FIGHT!!!!

{PLEASE READ THIS DESCRIPTION}
We've had this many times already in the Pokemon Universe..
*[Deoxys] changing form through access to special meteorites
*[Shaymin] changing to Sky form through contact with the Gracidea flower...
*[Giratina] transforming into it's Origin form when in contact with the Distortion world/Griseous orb
*[Rotom] changing form by possessing (taking control of) various pieces of machinery..Just to name a few...
The thing is that all of these major transformations were mainly among legendary Pokemon..
Now non legendaries are placed into the bunch and the question that has been asked for years is now growing with major intensity..
{Is Pokemon turning into Digimon??...}
Now that question doesn't necessarily push on the opinion of Pokemon LITERALLY turning into a Digimon series...it's about Pokemon..as a franchise..possibly losing it's essence of originality.
I've heard close friends and family say this and I had disagreed..but after looking at it for a while I can see just how much this makes sense...
{I know that these aren't Nintendo games,but they are the best examples that I could think of}
This is indeed similar to what happened between the Need For Speed and Burnout racing franchises...
Burnout had the SPECIAL feature of making takedowns with car rivals when racing...Now Need For Speed has this feature and Burnout is left in the dust....(You could say that Burnout has lost its originality)
The Pokemon series is doing exactly the same thing here when compared to Digimon.
Yeah Pokemon are produced as data in PC's and they evolve and such...but does it seem like they are going a BIT too far??...
YES!!..There are MEGA Digimon and this to me is just screaming the eventual effect of the lost of originality...
(READ UNDER THE "EPONYMOUS CREATURES HEADING)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Digimon#Eponymous_creatures
A DIRECT LINK TO A FAN WIKI ON THE MEGA DIGIMON TOPIC:
http://neoencyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Mega_Digimon_(A-B)
{At least change the Mega title to something else Gamefreak}
MY CONCLUSION:
We could possibly have some cross disagreements between Pokemon and Digimon this remaining 2013 and the following 2014...
I will not ask what you think here..I'll simply say that I believe Pokemon to be in trouble this time...Maybe Need For Speed got away with they Burnout rip off...That doesn't mean that Pokemon will get off with this....

Is 3D gone for good??!!...

I was waiting for this to happen..
I've actually talked about this 3D removal possibility with family and friends and they all shunned (ignored) my idea.
Now I can RUB it all in they face!!..{LOL}
Now Just HOW could I actually tell that the dawn/end of 3D was coming??..
Well..(1):
Nintendo has been quite short on cash lately...
A SONY employee (worker) managed to sew Nintendo for use of his No glasses 3D technology idea. US $30 million to be exact 
(2)There have been MANY health complaints and precautions about Nintendo's 3D effect on the eyes
(3)Wii U sales have been quite low and this (especially) has knocked Nintendo's finances into quite a mess.
{Therefore placing Nintendo in an even LOWER chance of backing up the new feature}
MORE PROOF FOR NINTENDO'S FINANCIAL DECLINE??..
*The Wii mini has been made as a financially affordable and technical strip down of the original Nintendo Wii.
{Taking away technical features such as Nintendo Gamecube compatibility and wi-fi connectivity..}
*The wi-fi removal means less money paid for hardware in the systems and I take the gamecube removal as a money saver too.
((NO other way to play gamecube games now than to buy Nintendo Gamecube/classic wii {FORCING FANS TO BUY ANOTHER SYSTEM}...since the newest Nintendo Wii model has been stripped of the gamecube compatibility as well))

ALL of these come together to prove that Nintendo was quite low on money at the time...the health precautions AND the COPYRIGHT infringement played on SONY.....
These are dark days for 3D my friends..dark dark days!!!!
Hold onto your 3DS and don't let go...
You never know...it's a chance that they may stop with the 3D altogether...


MEGA Lucario = Lucario + Giratina??...

BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER..KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS POST IS ONLY BASED UPON MY OPINION/IDEA..IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M WRONG IN ANY WAY..ONLY HOW CLOSE I AM TO BEING RIGHT.
Mega Lucario...just another simple Mega Pokemon...right??..
Well...I actually DON'T think so..
I think that (out of all the other Mega Pokemon) Mega Lucario may be one of the major keys/clues to fixing together the mystery of just what Pokemon X and Y may be about...before the games come out of course.
Now..when looking at Mega Lucario's body,it actually (EXTREMELY closely)resembles the bodily features of the Sinnoh legendary (from Pokemon Diamond,Pearl,Platinum) Giratina..I don't think that Mega Lucario's new Giratina like look is just a mistake or lazy design...There for sure (most likely) is a reason for this.
{Fun fan art basing on it's visual connection with Giratina}
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=525522810855037&set=a.181016455305676.43726.180142412059747&type=3&theater
{More reason's why I think this??..keep reading}
when checking the description for this Pokemon Mutation on the Pokemon X and Y website,they give some mentioning of the bodily designs on Lucario being an effect of the Mega Stone's energy flowing through it's body...Lucarionite in this case..
{Stone energy and names uniquely varied among different Mega Pokemon}
http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/
Speaking of Giratina,most of us may know by now that special distribution events are being made in Gamestop stores around the US and UK for all three of the Sinnoh Pokemon on the Pokemon Black,White,Black 2 and White 2 versions!!!..
COME ON!!...A sinnoh event AND a Pokemon X and Y based evolution LOOKING like one of the Sinnoh legends...
{This is TOO close not to be related to me}
And get this:
{PREVIOUS POKEMON EVENT'S}
1:We have already had an event like this where the Legendary Dogs Raikou,Suicune and Entei were released for Pokemon Diamond,Pearl,Platinum,Heart Gold and Soul Silver and then used to awaken/unlock Zoroark in Pokemon Black and White..

{THE NEW POKEMON BANK}
2:The new Pokemon Bank just revealed today (9/4/2013) will make it easy to bring these legends to Pokemon X and Y.
See??...one little Mega Pokemon can reveal all these possible ties.
Maybe...just maybe the Sinnoh legends are somehow tied (something to do with) these Mega Stones..
Maybe they help you find them easier or something??..
Can't really know for sure just HOW these Sinnoh legends may be connected to the stones JUST YET..but it's a high chance that they are.
Now it's up to you to take this info in or not...but just you wait..I'm pretty sure that I'll be correct...or at least close.
