History Awesome / PokemonRubyAndSapphire

* In a meta-moment, for ''all the flack'' people gave Generation III, the [[http://www.siliconera.com/2014/09/20/fans-lining-pokemon-omega-ruby-alpha-sappire/ lines]] in Japan finally [[VindicatedByHistory put the case to rest]]: the fanbase ''loves'' Hoenn. These are just lines for ''pre-orders'' and they span from Sendai, Nagoya, Sapporo, Yokohama, Fukuoka, and Tokyo Bay. [[AwesomeMusic/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Let the trumpets sound.]]

* In the original games, Groudon and Kyogre's special abilities automatically summoned permanent sun or rain to the battlefield. Unfortunately, a {{Nerf}} in Gen VI changed the abilities to just an automatic Sunny Day or Rain Dance. Then comes ''Omega Ruby'' and ''Alpha Sapphire'', and the introduction of Groudon and Kyogre's Primal forms, who have two new abilities: Desolate Land and Primordial Sea which besides sounding [[AwesomeMcCoolName really badass]], came with a few new effects:
** Made the sun/rain permanent again as long as Groudon or Kyogre are present.

** And most importantly, ''completely negates water'' (if Desolate Land is in effect) ''or fire'' (if Primordial Sea is in effect) ''type attacks used against Groudon or Kyogre''. Thought you could one-shot Primal Groudon with a [[KillItWithWater water type attack]] thanks to it's [[ForMassiveDamage 4x weakness]]? [[SubvertedTrope NOPE]].
** It gets better. Mega-Rayquaza's ability lessens its weaknesses as Delta Stream negates any super-effectiveness against the flying type, thus taking its 4x weakness against ice to only 2x and negating its rock weakness altogether, making it much less easily taken out by Goudon or Kyogre.

* Wally's already badass by time you make it to victory road, but the remake highlights his major improvement, you fight him in a Field of Flowers at the end of victory road, he gets a slightly tweaked introduction for the fight and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-wYGBi_JyA Music]] is redone from the generic trainer battle music that was in the original fight.

* The buildup to the battle with the version legendary. Like the originals, the battle is within the Cave of Origin, however, when you get to the place where you fought the legendary originally, instead, you have to ''ride the version legendary's back'' with the help of a suit created by the version's villain team and the orb of the opposing version. Then, when you get to the place where the energy for Primal Reversion is, you jump off and watch as the legendary undergoes Primal Reversion and towers over you as it challenges you.

** Firstly, just re-read that description. [[spoiler:''[[BeyondTheImpossible Riding Rayquaza into SPACE!]]'']]

* [[spoiler:The newly-revealed Delta Episode, which apparently involves riding Rayquaza into space to fight off an asteroid, which is also Deoxys - and from the details revealed, there are links to the [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY war in Kalos]] from 3,000 years ago.]] This is awesome for two reasons. [[spoiler:Firstly, just re-read that description. ''Riding Rayquaza into SPACE!'' Secondly, there used to be rumours that it was possible to go into space to get Deoxys and Jirachi in the original games. Game Freak took one of the most-parodied rumours in the entire franchise [[SureWhyNot and ran with it]].]]

* Previously in Contests, if you filled the audience's excitement meter, you'd simply get a large point bonus and be told that [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the crowd is really excited]]. Now? Your Pokemon does a LimitBreak style move, some of which look ''really'' {{Badass}}. And if your Pokemon can Mega Evolve, it gets even better.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eju1zieC5rM There's an animated trailer]] similar to the one released for VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite2. The best part is easily [[http://youtu.be/Eju1zieC5rM?t=1m59s when Mega Diance and Mega Gallade]] ''have a sword fight''. Sadly, it only lasts for about 10 seconds.

* The game's opening. [[MythologyGag It begins with the EXACT "Welcome to the World of Pokemon" sequence from the original GBA games]]... only for the camera to slowly pan out and reveal this to be an in-universe image on the player character's Pokenav... and then you get a sweeping view of the Hoenn countryside, complete with various Pokemon, as the moving truck travels to Littleroot. The best part though, is how the music transitions ''seamlessly'' from the original GBA tune to an orchestrated remix during the RevealShot.

* In the original games, Groudon and Kyogre's special abilities automatically summoned permanent shine or rain to the battlefield. Unfotunately, a {{Nerf}} in Gen VI changed the abilities to just an automatic Sunny Day or Rain Dance, that eventually ended to help with balancing issues...then, come OR and AS and the introduction of Groudon and Kyogre's Primal forms, who have two new abilities: Desolate Land and Primordial Sea which (besides sounding [[AwesomeMcCoolName really badass]]) came with a few new effects:
** Made the rain/shine permanent again (so long as Groudon or Kyogre are present).
** Once one of the abilities is activated the weather cannot be changed by a normal Rain Dance or Sunny Day.

* Earning [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ornament#Awards the Gold Shield ornament]] after winning ''100'' straight battles in the Battle Tower definitely qualifies as one for the player and his/her Pokémon.

* Groudon and Kyogre's epic battle in ''Pokémon Emerald''. And more importantly, Rayquaza, [[spoiler:who flies to Sootopolis after you encounter it at the Sky Pillar. Once you arrive there and witness Groudon and Kyogre again, Rayquaza comes out, flies through the clouds, descends with a trail of green light cloaking it, and swoops down to Groudon and Kyogre. With one mighty roar, it sends them both away, and departs, returning the weather to normal.]] How intense is that?
