Wait did Ethan have blue eyes before??

I believe you mean Brendan. Ethan was from Johto. I think his eyes are gray in the new artwork style.

Yes I meant Brendan, with all this hype I kinda had a name slip. So with the blue eyes in the secret bases artwork could that mean that customization is also returning?
 
Awww, love that official Secret Base art! I was about to ask if it was reused from the original R/S, but then I saw the girl with the Mudkip plush was a Fairy Tail Girl.
 
did anyone expect there to NOT be secret bases and contests in these games? o___O

it looks fun, but like the rest of the footage so far it's amazingly uninspired. I know these are remakes but still, they don't have to copy even the base layouts! xD
 
I'm sorry but...:shy:
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! YES, YES, YES!!!! :D:p:D:D

Looking at the screenshots, everything there was still is, like the Thunder mat, the posters, the slide, the dolls, and we seem to have lots more like a plasma lamp, a Pkflute for decoration, two floors, boards, a BED, oh by Arceus a BED!!, the fences, a gym stand, glitter and jump mats, Skitty tv, plants(!).
I was thinking that some pictures were about a tree super-secret base but it's Fortree.

As for the name of the new character, it could be better, despite thinking that it may be some pun/connection to runes...he seems like a Ranger!

Do you guys realize that this is so close to 4th gens secret bases? Back then you could not do battles but you could do capture the flag to rid of the bulders and after 50 times of doing that you could rid them all and also you got certain items after you did it so many times along the way.:)

Thank Arceus that it seems we no longer have boulders to slow things and without need to capture those flags to get some space. I understand their inclusion in the base's games but good thing they are not limiting space. I couldn't care less about the connection features and battling and so it's good that there's a bit for everyone without sacrificing one side or the other.

"The Glass Ornament is given after getting all five Pokémon pictures hung in the Lilycove Museum. To get a picture, the player must have not only won a Ribbon for the Master Rank in one of the five categories of Pokémon Contests, but also scored enough points in the respective Contest."

I guess contests are confirmed?

Btw, it seems the limit in now more than only 16 decorations.
Too bad I didn't do well at Contests because I really wanted and want that glass ornament! :(

Ow, the artwork is so cute. Reminds me of the Amie one and Treecko seems just like Pancham but instead of trying to reach its trainer, it's instead reaching for Mudkip like saying: "give me that and I'll tear it to shreds like it deserves"!

Max is that you? You've grown!

Brendan is sitting on a confort chair! Yes, I'll have my Grass Rangers base back!

PS: I hope we get far more dolls, namely all the starters from every region.
PS2: If the Smoochum poster is hanged besides the red tent, then does that confirms the Battle Frontier or not!?
 
Secret Bases weren't really a thing for me in Sapphire.
But, your own gym? Capture the Flag? Streetpass functions?

I have transcended above and beyond the emotion of hype.

Yes.
 
Sapphire was my first pokemon game and I loved this feature back in the day. Going from that pic with the glass ornament are we to assume that the day&night feature will be in? I'd love that for sure. Can't wait for more info.
 
Yes!!!! I love the new secret base functions. My own gym??!! I'm so confused as for what type to make it because my favorite type is Dragon but my favorite pokemon is Umbreon and if I have a gym I want Umbreon on my team. Oh what to do what to do.
 
Sounds exciting! Love the artworks! Although, I don't know if it's just me, but the rooms looks so small...I prefer a bigger room...

It isn't just you! It seems that as tecnology improves, space is reduced in order to save space. That said, it could be something related to perspective and 3D that make them seem smaller but I'm thinking that the ratio between player size and base size is kind of less the same it was in Gen. III.

I'm looking foward to see how one of the bases that can be made in this tree (north of Rustoboro and the exit from Meteor Falls)) will look like. I used to make it here because it had two rooms and in one I would make an office and in the other a place to meditate surrounded by trees!
 
This is awesome, but there hasn't been any trainer customization shown yet (at least I don't think there has).
Does this mean that might not be returning? *tear*
 
QR Code Secret Bases. Thank you based Game Freak.

Also Contests. I freaking love Contests. I wonder what changes/additions they'll make to them? Hoping for some sort of online mode but that might be asking for too much.
 
Looks like they did something useful with Streetpass this time around. Gg GameFreak, gg. I wonder if they'll do anything else with Streetpass, the options are pretty much endless.

I might be wrong but the way I see it character customization and pokemon amie are for Kalos what secret bases and contests are for Hoen. They like to put something unique in every game and that's what we've got this time. I wouldn't hold my breath expecting it to return.
 
I never really did too much with secret bases before, but making your own gym is too good to pass up! Now lets all just hope that we can FLY to our secret bases, because I remember the one I made was pretty far out of the way- but too cool to pass up location-wise ( I think it was the one on Route 119 up a waterfall?).
 
With the screenshots up I believe this gave us another piece of news; the Battle Frontier is confirmed in ORAS. Howso? Because there is a Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, and Snorlax doll in those SSs, and, for those who don't know, those are the exact same set of dolls that are available from the Battle Frontier. The only one missing from the set of dolls is Lapras (but it does have an appearance in the top SS, behind the nerdy kid). Also note, those aren't all the possible dolls from the Battle Frontier, but those are the only large dolls available from the Battle Frontier.
