Who will be the protagonists?
-New kids, moved in from the Unova Region, 10+ years have passed since events of original Gen I/III
What role will Wally play?
-Wally serves as an early Fairy-type gym leader in Fallarbor Town, wanting to help inspire young trainers to take the plunge and explore the world as he once did
What roles do you think Juan, Wallace, and Steven will fill?
-Steven stands as the head of Devon Corp. after his father's retirement, offering the player the latest in pokenav technology early on in the game.
-Wallace is a regular high-end opponent in the returning pokemon contests, but also serves as a member of the elite four.
-Juan is similiarly a regular in contests, but retains his role as leader of Sootopolis
Will there be any other League-related changes?
-Rustboro city has boomed in the past years with the recent success of Devon Corporation. Cranes transporting heavy loads operate over the sprawling city night and day. Ferries and shipping vessels fill the city's port. People move from building to building going about their busy days. Tailows deliver messages between windows. With the city's rise in stature, the Trainer's School has become a University, with Roxanne residing as Dean on top of her Gym duties
-Brawley, following the surfer's way, has become much more zen-like in the past 10 years. Not enough to stop specializing in Pokemon who punch as a main strategy, however. Little has changed in his sleepy town far away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland
-Watson has aged only in beard length and still his jolly self. His gym now stands on the revamped grounds of the old Game Corner and Mauville City is a menagerie of lights, bikes, ramps and technology.
-Wally, able to overcome his disease at the end of the Gen III games, sets up his gym in the small, quiet Fallarbor town. Inspired by the strength his partners had lent him so many years ago, he had chosen this town so close to the Mt. Chimney ash fields to build his gym so that he might be reminded every day what Pokemon had done for him.
-Lavaridge Town, semi-secluded at the base of the volcano, has found a stable balance between the growth seen in the cities and outlier towns such as Dewford and Fallarbor. The town has increased the the use of its natural hot springs and a small-time Spa Resort run by Flannery's grandfather can be found on the grounds of the once-gym. He and his team of Masquarian, Quagsire, and Emboar can be fought after receiving the 6th Badge for the TM Scald.
-Norman shows some signs of aging, but is otherwise unchanged; he still does his best to encourage young trainers to go to and see the world. A simpler Pokemon Trainer school can be found here as well as many more residential buildings than the Gen III titles
-Winowa has matured and still maintains her role as a strong gym leader. Her city is relatively unchanged and emphasizes the balance of people and pokemon living together in nature despite Hoenn's rapid expansion
-Tate and Liza, now young adults, serve as a foil of peace, tranquility, and stability to the rapid growth and innovation happening on the other side of their island at the Space Center
-Sidney, the showman, is still a member of the E4, but also doubles as the host of Pokemon Contests in his spare time
-Pheobe once again fights as a member of the E4, she is met previously in the game on Mt.Pyre, assisting the player in reaching her grandmother, one of the Orb keepers
-Flannery, after finding confidence in her own skill, followed in her grandfather's footsteps and became a member of the Elite Four
-Glacia continues to serve as an Elite Four Member, but competes in Contests where she can
-Drake stands now as the Champion of the Elite Four, a vanguard protecting the simple love and appreciation for one's own Pokemon against the single-minded masses looking only toward progress. He recognizes that his way of thinking that straight battles, a raw clashes of opposing wills, being better than the pageantry of contests or the trappings of Frontier-style battles, is old-fashioned. But he knows now, more than ever in Hoenn's history, he cannot stand by and allow the values of old fall to the wayside. That is why he, alongside the partners who saved his life, chose years ago to take up the mantle as Champion until such a day he knew the next generation could be trusted. Having explained all this to the player, he challenges them, but not before a big reveal...
Will Scott make a return? If so, what as?
-Scott, thanks to the explosive popularity of his Battle Frontier, is even more fantastically wealthy. He celebrates this by continuing dress like a sloppy tourist. He has revamped his park in the past few years, turning it into a massive, ocean-locked Vegas parallel. He has heeded the beliefs of Drake, whom he respects, however, and has ensured that the Frontier will never lose sight of what is important
What will Rayquaza's role in the story be?
-Rayquaza senses the disruption in the balance brought on by Kyogre/Groudon's mega evolution and rushes in to confront and quell the upset in nature. However, unaided against the Mega-evolved Legendary, Rayquaza is overwhelmed and struck down, a testament to the strength and unstoppability of the rampaging legend.
-Upon challenging Drake, it is revealed that he had gone to Rayquaza's aid after it being struck down and, like Drake's Pokemon had once done for him, rescued Rayquaza from certain death. Before the battle with the Champion commences, Rayquaza soars into the room, coming Drake's side. After Drake's five main Pokemon are defeated, Rayquaza enters the battle and, aided by Drake, enters its Mega Evolved form. After being defeated, Rayquaza acknowledges the player and returns to Spear Pillar.
Assume Kyogre and Groudon receive Mega Evolutions. What do you think
— their types / abilities / signature moves will be?
-Kyogre: Type-Water/Dragon / Ability-Deluge: Permanent Rain (Like Drizzle used to be) / Sig Move-Undertow: Water, Special, Base 75, Acc 100, Trapping Move that does 20 water damage and holds a Pokemon for 4 turns
-Groudon: Type-Ground/Fire / Ability-Solar Flare: Permanent Sun / Sig Move-Mantle Rage: Ground, Physical, Base 120, Acc 100, Ground attack that also does Fire Damage
— their roles in the games will be?
-After the disbanding of Teams Aqua and Magma, Team Geotic was formed of ex-members of the two teams agreeing to put aside their differences so they might defend the natural state of the planet. Geotic members are pushy, but they strive to prevent pollution and damage to the environment, and over the years they have gained the reluctant acceptance of the people. However, the recent boom in industry and tourism to Hoenn has caused an influx in the introduction of invasive species and rapid changing of the environment, sometimes too quickly for some Pokemon to keep up. Team Geotic attempted to warn the people of Hoenn of the terrible potential such rapid growth could create, but the glee of progress was too addicting and Geotic was scorned for their efforts. Suddenly, hands tied and without public support, Geotic began to loathe the greedy people of Hoenn and sought out the Red/Blue Orb as a last-ditch extreme movement. Geotic alone might not be able to slow the march of progress, but with the enhanced power of the one of the Pokemon of legend, they would have the strength to eradicate it completely: to wash the slate clean, return the land of Hoenn to Alpha, and let life begin anew, or to bring it to finality, to Omega, smite the region of life, and allow what survives to prosper. Either way, only Pokemon could be able to adapt to such an assault on the land, ensuring that humans would never again tread on the natural lives of Pokemon with their lust for progress.
— of their Megastones being the Red/Blue Orbs? Or will they be something else?
-The Megastones will probably be some sort of manipulation of the Orbs.
What will the Version Exclusive Pokemon be?
-The same as the Gen III differences
Will Generation IV - VI Pokemon be available in the wild?
-Yes
— If so, what Pokemon will be included/excluded?
-The included Pokemon would be primarily those who can survive in average, temperate climates and transition foreseeably easily: Pokemon such as Dedene, Drilbur, Paras, Binacle, and (yes) Trubbish. These Pokemon could parallel the idea of the spread of invasive species. Most of these out-of-region Pokemon would crop up around big-time cities such as Rustboro, Slateport, or Lilycove, cities that would be getting a lot of sea trade and/or tourism from other regions in the Pokemon world. These big port cities would also be host to "traveling" NPC trainers looking to trade their region's exclusives for something unique to Hoenn, say a Baltoy or Spinda for a Scyther or Phantump.
-Of course, noticeably big Pokemon would therefore not join the roster; somebody would take notice if a herd of Tauros or pack of Pangoro just hopped off a ship. "Ancient" Pokemon such as Golurk and Sigilyph would seem out of place just cropping up after so many years as well.
What new Mega Evolutions will be introduced?
-Mega Legendaries of course, Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza. Swampert and Sceptile deserve one each if Blaziken's got one. Mega Seviper/Zangoose would be nice additions, and Metagross is begging for a Mega Evolution.
Where will the stones for the new Mega Evolutions be hidden?
-In very Easter-eggy type places: one at the bottom of a sea trench, one is a gift from a traveling salesman who always seems to be overcharging the player just noticeably enough for rare items.
New areas to be introduced?
-The sky. Get a chance to explore Rayquaza's realm.
-Space. In the 10+ year gap between Emerald and X/Y, the world has gone from launching shuttles to collecting energy from space and beaming it down to the planet. At the very least Scott could stand to blow some cash on a Battle Satellite.
Ideas for post-game content?
-Fresh new Battle Frontier. Recycle many of the old facilities, but give them a fresh, flashy 3D coat of paint. The Pyramid and Dojo should make a return, but do them up to look like they're on the strip in Vegas. The Seviper building of course needs to come back, but who's to say it's not a Mega Seviper this time around? Give it 9+ Frontier Brains in the end, bring back the classics and add a couple new favorites.
-Contests. Make them awesome, as if we'd actually want to do them. Imagine how great it would be to try to put on a performance in the same way the characters on the show had to. I'd come back for that. It's a great chance to cameo characters too. Mirror B would make the best Pokemon Coordinator.
