  • Now that ORAS has been released, do you think you'll ever return to the original Hoenn?

    Yeah! There's stuff in R/S/E that isn't necessarily the same in OR/AS. Like let's take Mauville City as an example. It's pretty much "Mallville City" in OR/AS. If I had to choose, I'd go with the original. I like the feel of the old games slightly better. And the Gym Leader Theme had a more "suspense" in it. It felt like it was something truly important, however that "suspense" in the theme was partially numbed down in the remakes. I'll never forget the originals. <3

  • I love these remakes, but I also love the original games, so I'll always make time to visit. Hell, I replay RSE at least twice a year anyway, haha.

  • Oh, I probably will at some point in time. I've never beaten RSE before anyways, so it would be likely. I just don't know when, as I'm currently playing Alpha Sapphire, and once I'm bored with that I'll be going back to playing LeafGreen, and once I'm bored with that I'll probably go back to Sinnoh, so it looks like Sapphire will just be sitting in my case for awhile.

  • I'm sure I will. I mentioned wanting to play this after ORAS to do comparison with them and see just how much harder they are after being more adapted to the 6th gen mechanics. Probably a lot harder. But we'll see in due time.

  • Probably not since I case modded my sp to fit into a Gameboy DMG so even if I wanted to I couldnt, but really the only thing I would go back for is the original Mauville City. The new one sucks.:(

  • I actually prefer the older games. I have played several of the DS ones and we still own a DS and some of the games but sold our other DS and all the games with it. Gen 1-3 were my favorites and I didn't like Diamond/Pearl/Platinum really and Black and White I didn't care for much either. I must confess I have not even bothered to play HG,SS or B/W2.

    Well given there's no Battle Frontier, quite likely. I love me some Battle Factory and Battle Pyramid.

    Yep. Mainly because I still own a GBA and Ruby and probably will never get a 3DS :p Haha.

    Sure, why not? One, huge reason behind this is because, well, I'm kind of more connected to original Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald than Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, in a way. Due to this, latter two don't precisely seem to give off the same vibe to me as former three.

    I have been planning to give RSE a go couple of weeks before ORAS release, actually, but decided not to, as it would ruin some of my fun from ORAS and whatnot, as they basically have same events, features, characters, and so forth. Though, I'll definitely be playing them once more later down the road once I get the chance.

    Last time I had played these games would be about six to eight months ago.

  • Nope, I'm enjoying OR/AS a lot more than I ever did the originals, so I don't have much of a reason to. I never played Emerald, though, so I might pick that up and try it some day.

    I probably will if only for trade fodder, during XY I replayed so I could get the legends from Emerald. They're good trade fodder :)

  • I thought about playing Ruby, as that's the version I never played, but honestly if i replay any RSE game it will probably be Emerald, since the story is a little different from ORAS and it has a Battle Frontier <3
