So, another trailer for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire came out from Japan today! It’s a trailer that shows off a lot of the main features for the game, and serves as a nice summary for everything we’ve seen so far. To be honest, there isn’t a lot of new material, but there were some interesting things to be seen in the trailer. Here’s a link to the trailer on PokéJungle.net. The times I mention below refer to that particular video.
Here are some of the things that I noticed:
- At 00:39- Is that Pacifidlog Town? It’s amazing how it looks both new and familiar.
- At 00:40- Wow! Diving looks amazing now! I love how the player is shown on an actual Wailmer as opposed to just the silhouette of one. I wonder if the Pokémon the overworld trainer is riding will change depending on what Pokémon is using Dive. I hope so, because it’ll be kind of weird if you’re diving on a Clamperl yet you’re somehow riding a Wailmer. Also, the Corsola in the background really adds to the atmosphere (can you battle it?). And is Brendan wearing goggles? Nice detail. Does that mean trainer customization is confirmed? 😛
- At 00:42-It’s funny that here Brendan isn’t wearing goggles, yet in the original games you needed to wear Go-Goggles to proceed in the desert.
- At 00:50- There’s that new School Boy design. Looks awesome. The artwork for the trainer classes was one of my favorite things about X and Y. Don’t they look so much more individualized than they ever used to?
- At 01:09- Brawly’s splash screen entrance looks cool. I like the colors and the movement.
- At 01:22- Is that Maxie’s battle entrance? I hope so because that looks amazing.
- At 01:25- And I suppose that would be Archie’s battle entrance, then. It’s nice, but I like Maxie’s better. (I’ve always been partial to Team Magma over Team Aqua, so maybe I’m a little bias).
- At 01:32- Pokéjungle states that here Maxie is explaining that Team Magma is interested in Mega Evolution too. It looks like the entire focus of the game has been altered a bit to count for Mega Evolution. I wonder how much it’ll affect the plot. This scene appears to take place in the museum in Slateport, so it appears major plot elements are still intact, but will they have a different meaning?
- At 01:34- There’s Meteor Falls and the scene of the teams confronting each other. Also, there’s Professor Cozmo. Too bad we can’t see his face in this shot.
- At 01:40- Here are our legendaries. They seem to be waking up. Or are they entering their Primal Reversion form? It’s hard to say.
- At 01:54- That’s a cool looking scene.
- At 02:16- The production value for the contests appears to have gone up.
- At 02:36- Our first look at Mt. Pyre.
- At 02:38- This appears to be Mossdeep City, considering the presence of the rocket in the background.
- At 02:39 and -2:41- Sootopolis and Wallace/Juan’s gym! But, unfortunately, no Wallace and/or Juan yet. It looks like the gym has a jungle theme now to go with the ice.
- At 02:44- A Pikachu tail in the grass? Will we be able to see some of the Pokémon we encounter in the grass? That’s a cool feature.
- At 02:56- This shot of Latios flying over Hoenn looks incredible.
So, that’s about it for my thoughts on the trailer. Seeing all of this only makes me more excited for the games. Is it November yet?
We’ll definitely be getting more news about these games later in the near future and I’ll be sure to post my thoughts and speculations when more information is revealed.
Until Then,
