More Poke-musings!

So, filler material until I finish the next review.

Within recent times, Nintendo was kind enough to finally grace me with the news of the remakes of my favorite Pokemon Generations: Gen III.

The ever wonderful Hoenn, home of Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald are set to be remade in glorious 3D in the forms of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

My excite level is off the charts.

Anyway, shortly after the announcements, rumors and theories ran rampant, due to the new look presented for the game's mascots; Groudon and Kyogre, in addition to Nintendo's choice of words regarding the presentation of the remake, specifically: ""

My own particular points of interest lie less so in the choice of words for Nintendo, as I have no doubt, and as far as I am aware, it has been confirmed that this is a straightforward remake. Sure, there will be some minor differences and stuff, graphic bueno-ness and some new features, mayhaps some storyline changes, but in all, I imagine the core of the game will retain what I loved about Hoenn in the first place.

No, I'm interested in the new glowy designs for both Kyogre and Groudon. Aside from the new Tron-like lines carving huge swathes across both legendary poke's bodies, both Pokemon now seem to have symbols on their body representing Omega (Groudon) and Alpha (Kyogre). I really wanna know what kind of significance this has on the game itself. Are these things representative of new forms and powers? And if so, are they only for the legendaries? Or are they some new spin off of the Mega Evolution? And what does that mean for the ever-awesome third member of the legend trio, Rayquaza?

Or perhaps it's all just fun new designs for the covers? Who knows? All musings. Anywho, that's what's on my mind right now. That, and the ever-present spectre of Final Fantasy XV. It haunts my dreams.

But that's a tale for another time.

Yep.
