I wonder if we'll know the full truth behind Sird, Deoxys, Archie and Maxie, etc. plot points that need explained. that reminds me, this is the earliest we've gone with a remake despite a year later a game came out. RS and FRLG had a 2 year difference then Emerald came. DPPt, followed by Platinum came when HGSS entered the scene. BW and BW2 only had a year or 2 in the works. XY came out half a year ago and now we're seeing Hoenn remakes (or sequels) for the first time.
Jeez they are only 16 by this point. I don't think they will get married this quickly. Especially since they still fight like children.
I agree. The main thing I want out of the AROS arc is the resolution of their romance subplot. I hope it ends with them as a coupleThey won't get married lol. But I hope they didn't ditch their relationship like they did and actually tell us more xD
I'd like to see Emerald again too. I'd love to see what he's like with his Pokemon now.
As for bad guy material, maybe they'll do a FRLG thing and introduce PokeSpe-only admins? Although, I don't know how I'd feel about that...
EDIT: Ruby and Sapphire's relationship is pretty much the pinnacle of why I like them so much. lol It would be a sin if they didn't pick on each other a few times during the new arc. xD
@Platinum Fan
Okay wait I thought about that again from another angle. And I guess I failed to take main problems of gen IV and V into account.
Yes we don't know for sure how long BW2 will be. Even though I don't think they will be able to write it longer than necessary. Still.. it will have it's 3 volumes, if I think about the amount of stuff they still have to show..
They must had problems with they schedule after the almost-1year pause on volume 39 and nobody expected gen V to be this short. But now they have another year with a possible Z version. So more time for OR-AS and Z. We won't see the OR-AS arc in 6 month either I guess. Because Bw2 won't be finished. And we need Mewtu in BW2 but we still need it in Hoenn too.
So XY will go on for awhile. But please don't overdo it. Plan ahead and connect XY and oras in Z properly. If you need 7 volumes to do so: do it.
And they should be very careful from now on. I bet the remakes will blow our mind away again with some unbelievable stuff. I would not be surprised if you can travel to Kanto again. Hoenn and Kanto are spiritual brothers or something like that. Like Johto and Sinnoh. And the Kanto leaders have to be battle-able again. Because you can battle them in every gen, come on.
So kusaka should take reunions into account. And better use more time to develop X and Y right now.
Short arc /=/ rushed arc if you use the space you have right. And thats what I want to see from this Manga, this applies for remake and special version arcs too of course. But I think they really need the time for this. (Finish of sird on hoenn too please...?)
So I hope I made my point understandable. I know its not easy to deal with me sometimes...
^ I see where you're coming from with a rushed paced for Pokemon Special and I agree. One of the reasons why I like Pokemon Special so much is because I enjoy it for story. If they end up rushing XY and ORAS because of the game's releases, I'd be a sad Pancham. I really want to see Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald fleshed out again, though I wouldn't be too sure what the possible conflict could be that they face for this new arc.
