That reminds me, are they going to bring back diving?
I hope so. That was one of my favorite things to do in R/S/E, especially because the underwater BGM was awesome in my opinion.

I just don't want to see lame excuses for blockades like the ones we got in B2/W2. Not that the reasons were ever exactly good in other games.
I doubt by October last year everything was set in stone and all ready for ORAS. I don't know when they decided to make ORAS but if it was late into XY's development they wouldn't have been able to include all the new things they want for ORAS into XY
But due to them knowing they wanted to make a Hoenn remake they included the Latis and Mega Blaziken.
It'd also make sense as to why some of the bigger gen 3 Mons (Milotic, Salamence) didn't get Megas.
Which still doesn't answer the question. If there's more stuff coming - more Mega Evolutions, more Pokémon, more whatever one chooses to believe is still in the pipeline - then why not simply hide all of that in X/Y to begin with? Particularly when there is hidden material of that nature that we have found.
You keep saying this is "so they don't have to keep releasing patch after patch when they release something new." But then why not include it all and not have to patch in the first place?
Again, the logic simply doesn't hold up.
It is mainly for convenience, as far as I remember.

Lumiose had the worst, though.
Nah, I'd say the guys "dancing" in front of the entrance to Black City/White Forest was the worst. Like, they knew it was a bad reason and used it anyway.

nintendo are no fools they surely expected data miners to uncover anything they put in
so perhaps they left some parts of ORAS out to be patched in later for the same reason, i mean of people found mega groudon and kyogre or mega hoenn starters who would have been surprised by this announcement, having just mega latias and latios lead me and i assume most people to simply believe they would be event distributions at some point, maybe im wrong and everyone else saw this coming but alot of people here seem to be somewhat surprised.
1.One thing I would like to see is the Sky battles coming back ( I quite enjoyed the in X & Y even though I know some people didn't ); they could upgrade them by adding a flying with your pokemon in the sky option like in Pokemon Rangers; you could find wild pokemon in the sky, maybe even pokemon you can't get in other ways as well as other trainer riding in the sky (maybe even Skyla since she is a Flying type gym leader);
of course you can have an opption to skip it if you want and just go straight to your desired destination( again like in Pokemon Rangers), though I know that all of this is just my wishfull thinking;
2.The same thing can be applied to underwater travels; since you already can find grass on the ocean floar where you can get Calamperl and others you should also be able to find trainers that are also using dive ( new class coming to mind the "Diver" class); more underwater paths they should really make use of the HM move Dive and really make us miss it in the next games ofter these;
3. Pacifidlog Town should deffinetly serve a purpose now; either it is included in the main story line or the post game one;
4. Juan or Wallace can be involved in the contests leaving room for Steven to return as champion;
5. There definetely has to be a place for gym leaders & elite fours to gather where you can battle them; preferably among them Kalos ones as well; i don't like the idea of going again to their gyms; they did a much more interesting thing in HGSS where you had to track them down a ask the them for a rematch; just imagine the ideea that the Kalos gym leaders & elite fours (as well as others from other regions have come for other things and you have to invite them) ;
6. Contests should include battle stages , especially now that they have introduced combination moves; also more combination moves( they don't have to be from new moves, old ones work just as well); contests should be spread again across the region (I never really liked the Battle Tents taking their place in Emerald) this way it gives a better sense of accomplishment than just going into one building and playing until you get bored (just imagine what it would be like if all the gyms were in one place); besides this is how they were in the original Ruby & Sapphire and who's to say that both the Contest building and the Battle Tents can't be in the same town/city, why should a city ony have one important building;
7. Even though that there are two games/versions Team Aqua and Team Magma's hideout shouldn't be in the same place in both games; both teams can even appear in the same game but one will win over the other; this is even a good marketing ideea because with two dirrerent story lines more people will want to buy both games;
About contests I really want them back but in X and Y it just combines all the contest ribbons into one ribbon that tells you how many ribbons they have earned probably doesn't mean much but is just a thought
To keep all the ORAS stuff a secret? I doubt despite all our speculation we will ever know why Nintendo half assed putting data in. Assuming the differences in XY and ORAS are compatible.While this is likely true to some degree...
...it still doesn't patch (ha) the hole in the logic. If that's their reason for not programming the rest of the future material into X/Y in the first place, why program some of it in the first place? Why not just include all of it via a future patch?
