Why would they cover something we already knew about before?

That dark stormy area is what intrigues me most about the new map design I hope we find out more soon!!

Highly doubtful, they've been lessening the amount of event Pokemon encounters in this game, and Darkrai has absolutely zero relevance in Hoenn.
That's happened with Zorua.Chaos Jackal said:Event-only Pokemon have never been catchable in normal gameplay of later games

Well dialga,palkia,and giratina had no business being included into HG/SS but they were!! So you never know!

I thought in BW you needed the shiny Raikou, Entei, and Suicune from the movie event to trigger it. And it was Zoroark, not Zorua; I mixed them up.Chaos Jackal said:Seven is a Color said:That's happened with Zorua.
Since when was Zorua event-only? You could breed one perfectly well with Zoroark. And with Zoroark being an in-game event (and Zorua too), triggered by older events, I don't see how they can be compared to Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Jirachi, Deoxys etc., Pokemon that were only available at special Nintendo promotions, Wi-Fi, or a disc.
Chaos Jackal said:Yeah, you needed them, and you needed Celebi to obtain a Zorua. However, with the Zoroark line being breedable, it technically means that even without a cheating device there could be enough Zoroark for the whole world as long as there was one Crown beast. It's in no way the same, although I get what you mean.
Pokemon like Zoroark aren't legendary, and as such it's impossible for them to remain event-only forever, this status being reinforced by the fact that Zorua and Zoroark are needed to complete the Pokedex, where event-only legendaries aren't. So let me rephrase the previous statement by saying that no Pokemon which weren't required for the completion of the National Pokedex have ever been introduced as normal catches in later games.

Aerodactyl said:Maybe that dark stormy region is just a glimpse into space and we'll actually go to space this time. It's a bit far'fetched, but it's the only way I can think to link it to Hoenn. I have no idea how they'd choose a ten year old to go to space, but maybe you get on the ship by accident or something.
nameati said:Also,for anybody interested about talking about it and speculating, has anybody noticed the ss.cactus looks pretty different?? It looks like it has a small land mass on it now like its been shipwrecked for a very very very long time!! I hope they make it bigger with more rooms,dive spots, items and maybe even attach a nice little side quest to it similar to how the power plant sidequest was.
Mitja said:Kinda disappointed by the Hoenn map...it confirms that the region is 95% accurately recreated from the originals with like rock formations, all diving spots and everything in the exact same location and structure lol..
I looked at it closely and marked all the points that do have some noteworthy changs (apart from minor self-explanatory stuff like the bigger launchpad and stretched path to route 103 etc..)
Hoenn map
1 - definitely a new building next to devon corps.
2 - that's not just a crashed ship, it's an actual island with stuff on it
3 - mauville got an aesthethic overhaul. the other hoenn-art shows it too. seems like a wall around it with some electric function. I bet it relates to the new-mauville powerplant sidequest
4 - definitely a new exit from meteor falls into a green spot
5 - probably just rock. too huge to be a building, but its still odd there...
6 - no idea whats going on there. the safari-zone entrace is to the right of it, and the inside of the safari is never on the map. friendsafari or something perhaps?
7 - this is where mirage island used to appear. looks more complex than it though, with an inner beach and stuff.. (the sky tower is hiding north of the route in that cloud btw)
8 - rock formations are similar as they were, but now it seems to be an actual separated area from the path with a beach on the outside?
9 - southern island. perhaps not an event-area anymore but regular gameplay. I bet the latiosite/latiasite is located there now.
10 - portal to dark Hoenn. just kidding. Id speculate its some post-game area to obtain DPt mascots or Reshiram/Zekrom (black and whtie cloud clashing?) or something like that..
11 - what a nice spherical white cloud. not suspicious at all. since its right below the route with the sealed chamber, my guess is: Regigigas
and then there is a bunch of clouds. the obvious one in the south is hiding the Battle Frontier. rest maybe postgame extra legend areas, maybe nothing.
