Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire: Expectations & Desires? [Not a speculation thread]

Let's go to the beach, each.
I actually want the Hoenn Pokedex to expand just for the sake of not seeing Glacia with two Sealio and two Glalie + a number of other repetitive things. Throw a Froslass and a Vanilluxe in place of a Sealio and a Glalie and I'll be find with that at the very least for example.

I have no problem with the Hoenn Elite Four's teams tbh, so normally I'd be against this idea, but seeing her use a Froslass in OR/AS would be fine with me.

Do you think they're going to bring back contests? Or will they just have those little battle house thingies from Emerald?

....They BETTER bring back contests....
I do not recall the "little battle house thingies" though. Probably because I barely remember Emerald.

Contests were introduced in RS. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't bring it back.
As for the Battle Tents. Probably. But those facilities only act as tutorials for the Frontier. You don't even earn BP in those...

The battle tents?

I think both will make an appearance.

Related to adding new Pokemon:
No matter what, any Pokemon in the Hoenn dex with a Gen 4 evolution should have that evolution obtainable in game in the main story. They would also be able to be used on Gym Leaders / Rivals / and Elite Four Members respectively.

Gallade suits Wally more anyways.

A Shelgon in the E4 is pretty depressing though, I've got to admit...
You're right...
Let's give him a Garchomp instead because kids love fighting Garchomp right?
Or how about the original ******* dragon type Dragonite?

Emerald has Contests, they're just all in Lilycove

I'm playing a ROM right now, since I never played through the storyline

they're Battle Tents, and they're like previews of Battle Frontier facilities

kinda eh, depends on the facility they're previewing

I think you got berries.

Slateport gives you a Full Heal, Verdanturf gives you a Nest Ball, Fallarbor gives you a Hyper Potion

They should at least give Glacia a Froslass.

I mean, come on.

Neither of those Pokemon are in the original Hoenn Dex. I was merely commenting on the lack of choice those types in the Elite 4 had in R/S/E, rather than the actual difficulty. But if Garchomp was to join Drake's roster in the E4 rematches, I'm all game!

You get a Full Heal, a Nest Ball, and a Hyper Potion as rewards from Slateport, Verdanturf, and Fallarbor Tents respectively... Kinda lame...

Sounds lame. I suppose I did not miss out on too much with those.
But for the full Battle Frontier, I am looking forward to it this time. I hope that it is included.

Well, if they DO bring back contests, then will they be like they were in Ruby and Sapphire? Or perhaps put in some newer elements that cater to the new style? I would absolutely love it if they took a page from the anime and added CONTEST BATTLES and some kind of Grand Festival.

I had an idea that they could bring back Pokemon-Amie, or something similar, but along with regular Pokemon food you could give rarer Pokeblocks or something else similar to raise attributes like Cuteness and such.

I would much prefer keeping them the same from the originals, but if they added something in addition, I would be willing to try that.
Combining Pokemon Amie with contest preparation? Eh, why not? (As long as it is not too complicated.)

I really actually hope they do expand the regional dex. Cause really under 200 just seems to small :/ And I want Glacia to not have like half of her team being Sealeo and Glalie. They have the Shoal cave they could add some interesting Pokemon in there like Cubchoo or Bergmite. Also Drake has Shelgon which is pretty sad IMO, they really should put Skrelp in the dive spots with all the Seaweed being there, then Drake could have a Dragalge.

As depressing as it was to see a Shelgon in the Elite 4, it's better than seeing two Dragonairs and a Dragonite on one team. If I'm not mistaken, FR/LG and HG/SS didn't change anything about E4 teams until the rematches, outside of movesets. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case again, outside of maybe giving Froslass and Dusknoir for Glacia and Phoebe, respectively. Though there's a first time for everything.

That'd be nice. I always hate it when pokemon are repeated on a team

These are some good points. If they do change the E4 rosters, it would probably been a small change like this.
(....Too many Dragonairs....)
But we do not know yet. They may make a few changes here or there.

I forget how far Shoal Cave is from Mossdeep, but they should move it up further a bit, have a connecting route, and transition the area around Shoal Cave into a cooler climate, with as someone said, like icy water, and perhaps small patches of snowy grass. Just to get more ice types going, but I doubt they would do that.
 
I hope pokemon follow you like in Hgss
