After it was revealed that Maxie and Archie have Key Stones of their own, many speculated that their signature Pokémon Camerupt and Sharpedo would receive Mega Evolutions.

People only paid attention to the references to Hoenn because they were that desperate to see a remake. It isn\'t that the game was specifically hinting that it was going to happen.


** After ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'' got remakes during Gens [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire III]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl IV]], respectively, fans have been predicting that the same thing would happen to the Hoenn games. Gen V [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite came]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2 went]] with no Hoenn remakes, but ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' dropped several nods to the region, and on May 7, 2014, ''Omega Ruby'' and ''Alpha Sapphire'' were announced for the 3DS.
