History WMG / PokemonRubyAndSapphire

[[HistoryRepeats To simulate the connection issues]] that plagued Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will, like FireRed and LeafGreen, only allow the use of the Pokemon you'd find in the Hoenn Pokedex until the post-game; trading will be restricted, evolutions such as Ambipiom will be stopped immediately before they can happen, just like in FireRed and LeafGreen. This will incite old rage in fans who, when Gen III first came around, screamed and wailed because they couldn't send over their Level 100 Mewtwos and Typhlosions from Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and ORAS will wind up getting the same complainers and whiners that it's predecessors had.

* It's a throwback to Gen III when Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire were released along with Pokemon FireRed and Pokemon Leafgreen. While there was a fancier remake of Ruby and Sapphire known as Pokemon Emerald, there was no remake of Pokemon Yellow. Since this is Gen VI, with Pokemon X and Y are released as the main game and Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire as the cool remake, I believe that Pokemon Yellow will return to start a new pattern to Nintendo's Pokemon algorithm.

Besides their [[AnimeHair similar hairstyles]], they're both secondary characters who undergo a story arc of overcoming their timidity through the help of their friends and manage to become both stronger and self-sufficient as a result. This part's more of a stretch, but his confidence resulting in his Ralts growing into a Gardevoir can be seen as analogous to Koichi raising Echoes from ACT 1 to ACT 3.

* Alternately, we will get normal remakes of them, and then a Black 2 & White 2 styled remake after that. Apart from CashCowFranchise making it totally plausible, that would definitely take "something special" UpToEleven. To say nothing of the fact that [=FRLG=] and even [=HGSS=] stuck pretty closely to the games they were remakes of, so many fans are probably expecting regular remakes anyway.

[[WMG: We won't get [[VideoGameRemake RSDS]] due to it being TooSoon]]

** Not necessary jossed as this WMG was made during around the BW era. It might been TooSoon then, to the point it took one generation later to announce the remake.

[[WMG: Steven Stone is [[HeroicAlbino albino.]]]]

Before his hair turned grey, [[CaptainObvious that is]]. It goes with the color motif.

** ''Manga/PokemonSpecial'' says the white thing is just a hat and his hair is like Norman's.
*** Confirmed in [=ORAS=]. Brenden takes off the had when wearing Contest clothes, and just has normal brown hair.

* Something from ''Manga/PokemonSpecial'' will attain CanonImmigrant status, like how Silver being Giovanni's son was made manifest in FR/LG and HG/SS years after first appearing in Special. It might take the form of, for example: your player character having a stormy relationship with Norman, Wallace being the true Champion and Steven only a runner-up, Wallace and Winona having some sort of relationship, etc...

* The battle music will change on a Gym Leader's last Pokemon, as in ''Black'' and ''White''. Because [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome why not?]]

* Mega Starters confirmed per CoroCoro leaks.

* May and Brendan remain the player characters in the remakes according to CoroCoro leaks.

* {{Jossed}}: While Steven does indeed have a Mega Stone, his Mega evolution Pokémon is revealed to be a Mega Charizard X according to the CoroCoro leaks.

* {{Jossed}}: She's still in the game if the CoroCoro leaks are anything to go by.

* Confirmed; if CoroCoro leaks are anything to go by, she's still in.

* Confirmed by CoroCoro leaks.

** Confirmed by a CoroCoro issue.

* If catching a yamask wasn't {{fridge horror}} enough

○ There is no true proof of Gen I and III happening at the same time. Being able to freely trade doesn't mean a thing because both Black and White can freely trade with Black 2 and White 2 without a Time Machine, despite the latter two taking place two years later (same Gen is not the point).
** Excluding the business about disbanding, then, Team Rocket just has their fingers in all the pies.
** The official timeline explicitly says that the events of R/B and R/S happened at the same time.

* Ralts appears as an adorably {{Moe}} TokenMiniMoe /flat-out {{Woobie}}, all tiny and vulnerable and appearing to need a good, loving trainer to protect it.

Why go to all this trouble? As its entries show, its line is very closely connected to its trainer's feelings. Also, note that the final move learned by all forms save Gallade is ''Dream Eater''. Perhaps its motivations are similar to those of [[MemeticMolester Drowzee and Hypno]], but they're more smarter and know how to avoid that sort of bad reputation...

[[WMG: The remake will be for WiiU]]

In addition, it is never explicitly made clear whether the two timelines involving Mega Evolution or lack thereof is actually canon. We know that Zinnia isn't an entirely honest or trustworthy person, considering that she goes around the region stealing from people and talking to them in a mischievous manner during the Delta Episode, so it's entirely possible that she made the already very conjectural theory up. After all, she probably couldn't have known about the existence of any alternate timelines unless she had somehow managed to travel to such a dimension in the past, and evidence is provided that she has an active imagination (such as seeming to have imaginary conversations with her Whismur in a rather ComicStrip/{{Calvin And Hobbes}}-esque manner).

* Unlikely: In a case of TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything, if you give a Feebas full beauty stats in Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl or Platinum, then importing said Feebas into Black, White, Black 2, White 2, X or Y, said Feebas would still be able to evolve into Milotic when it levels up.

[[WMG: [[PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers Primal Dialga]] will play a role]]

>Game Freak [[GenreSavvy knew]] that people would try to crack the games, not just for piracy purposes, but also to get information (such as the Pokémon's stats, level-up and breeding moves, mechanics as if [[UrbanLegendOfZelda tipping does things as making shinies more common]], etc.). This happened with Gens IV and V, with the event-exclusive legends, and they want to keep them secret for as long as possible. The players (via save-altering devices, as 3DS emulation has not yet been made possible) discoved Mega Lati@s and Diancie (now confirmed), Hoopa and Volcanion. After ORAS is released, XY will be patched to make trading and battling with the new games possible (assuming they want do allow back-and-forth communication).
