I'm really hoping Sceptile gets 30+ speed, 30+ Sp Attack, and 40+ Attack because he just does not have a good enough special move pool to go fully special.

I realized a bit later that they based each design on high school clique archetypes;
Magma/Geeks:
Maxie the nerd
Tabitha the fat guy
Courtney the petite, shy girl, possibly goth (look at her frilly dress and covered head)
Aqua/Populars:
Archie the jock
Shelley the popular, sexy cheerleader
Matt the brutish bully
I swear, if their characters end up living to these standards in the game, GF is going to get it.
Kyogre & Groundon: thank Arceus they don't mega-evolve. WHAT A RELIEF!
Aqua & Plasma: WTF***********************************************************************CK!?
Both Maxie & Archie lost their elegance and are now nothing more than freaks: Maxie looks like a Flare fool and Archie like some freaking superhero. The female adm. look like they're seducing someone. WTH, have GF played Assassin's Creed Black Flag or something!?
Seriously, I'm sooooooo happy that I still have my Sapphire and Emerald games!
Edit: it's just me or Brendan (if that's still his name) is becoming a litle tanned!? Btw, Team Aqua must have been taking vacations in Humilau!
Edit 2: I don't mind Sceptile's design except for the red tip that really makes it look like a Christmas tree but Swampert seems like the new Knuckles from Sonic Boom.
Edit 3: Seriously, did you guys had to give Steven some Cheren-style pants? WTH*******LL!?
PS: all my hype is now gone, and my expectations for E3 are to see more disturbing stuff.
PS2: going by this experience...yeah, Game Freak, don't you dare making any more remakes. Stay put!
Last edit: yeah, I'm imagining that Professor Birch is now the Green Hulk!?

They made Sceptile's tail look even more like a Christmas tree than it already did. Its got the star now and everything. And they must've hired the dude who did Knuckles in Sonic Boom to do Swampert.
"We need something disproportionately top-heavy and without a neck, you got dis?"
"I got dis."
Minor gripes aside, I'm very happy with the new developments. The new character designs are great: Steven looks like a pimp with all those rings, Team Magma looks positively terrifying as per usual (/sarcasm), Team Aqua looks like a gang of pirates, and I love the sportswear vibe the main characters have going on. I was about to call the fashion police on the male about his shoes, until I realized they were probably supposed to be water shoes of some sort which makes sense considering the environment.
No more hat-hair though :<

Funny because most people who played the originals are in high school now ( like myself)

Fashion SWAT will attend to the protagonists when they have finished booking team flare, magma and aqua. I was going to send the fashion SEALS, but it seemed overkill.
Chrono said:GRASS/DRAGON
It's about time, though I would prefer for it to be a new Pokémon and not just a Mega.
Well, I saw this earlier this morning and it pretty much confirmed my suspicions. I knew we would be getting Mega Hoenn starters, and Im extremely happy Sceptile recieved Dragon type as I suspected(and many others as well) since its one of the few Pokemon designs I liked in gen 3. Lightning Rod is a very niche choice for an ability, but a very usable one, with Discharge/Volt Switch Rotom forms being common in VGC, along with the occasional Mega Manectric.
Mega Swampert looks like a steroid junky that hits the gym 3 times a day XD. Not to say I dont appreciate the design, because I do, but Swampert used to be THE bulky water to go to- and now, with only ONE weakness AND Swift Swim, I feel like its going to be super OP.... but thats just me I guess? This guy will definitely get used, no doubt about it, and Im almost positive it will lighten up the Dragon usage in VGC while changing some Pokemon's HP types to Grass over Ice.
Im indifferent to Diancie's mega, since I dont care much for event legends. I'd rather see an official reveal of Volcanion since thats actually the design I like of the 3 Kalos event legends.
The main players redesigns are ok, I suppose. I dont really care for May's bandana replacement, but Im still holding out hope that we will still get character customization. Especially since Id like to basically just recolor the outfits to my color preferences, as black/red/white seems very generic and drab to me. Also, I dont see why some people are saying Brendan has spandex? His shorts are clearly not skin tight (see May's spandex) and his shirt is just a muscle tee.
I like all the Magma/Aqua character redesigns, except Maxie. He used to be intimidating in an evil Lance sort of way, and now he looks like a red headed Colress knock off. Also, was Tabitha always a dude? I coulda sworn it was a chick, but whatever floats GFs boat I guess lol.

[split] New (Mega) Pokémon in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire: Your Hopes and Expectations
I hope Mega Swampert gets some serious buffs. I would like his base stats after Mega evolving to be: 100/130/120/80/120/70
Just a seriously tanky mudfish
Plus, I would like some new moves. I would like a new form of entry hazard also. Oh, and new abilities please

Tabitha was (not - I stand corrected) a girl in gen 3.
Also, I'm glad I was proven wrong about there being no new megas. Now we just need to see how these games will be compatible with X/Y. I'm excited :]

Hang on, that's actually a good point! Primal Dialga also sported the yellow lines in PMD 2. Bringing that into the main series games would be just epic! Perhaps ALL the legendaries will have Primal forms! *thinks of Primal Giratina* *nosebleeds*

They all looked incredibly plain before. Maxie was an old dude with a mullet, Archie looked like a generic gang boss, the only thing distinguishing the Magma Admins from the grunts were their pants and the Aqua Admins looked like this:
In my opinion it's an improvement, both thematically and aesthetically.
Yes, Tabitha has always been a guy, the anime removes any doubts about this. He used to be a freaking scary bad-ass admin, however, and now he looks short, round and almost comical. As much as I dislike the new Tabitha, I can see why they went the direction they did with both teams and I like what the changes have done to the rest of them. Team Aqua look like legitimate pirates ready to raid, pillage and plunder. The dark skin tone seems kind of random but it does make them appear to be more exposed to the open and gives a foreign impression as if they are from tropical islands and not the main land. Archie looks great and scary, Shelly's hair color changed but this one fits and she looks awesome, and Matt is as ripped as ever, just with an actually scary face now. They look fit and downright amphibious, actually suited for their much-loved water. The grunts still look like, well, lowly pirates. Team Magma is understandably getting mixed responses. People are complaining about Maxie's "nerdy" glasses or Tabitha's new size and shape like I was. What I'm getting from this is that in contrast to Team Aqua's pirate look, Team Magma actually look like geologists now. In Emerald, where the two teams actually did different things, Team Magma appeared much less frequently than Team Aqua did, but they also always appeared in a large group, while Aqua sent out small raiding parties. Magma work more like secretive scientists, spending their time drilling into a volcano or using a meteorite as an energy source. Maxie having glasses makes him look slightly less mean I suppose, but he looks a lot more like a leader now compared to his hooded grunts. On that note, the jackets on the admins and Maxie also give an air of science and, well, indoors. In the end it does makes sense for Tabitha not to look like a ruffian anymore. Courtney, who I didn't even know previously existed as she didn't even appear in Emerald (I first played Sapphire), does look a lot better than in Ruby, at least. She may have what I call "Animal Crossing horns," but at least she has just as much of an identity as Tabitha now. The grunts pretty much look the same, like Aqua. I'm glad they didn't stray too far from original designs. So basically these new designs are kind of shocking but they're mostly cool and they really fit and emphasize the contrast between the two teams and their methods, something I really like. I hope that the games actually have somewhat separate plots and the teams have different plans and tactics like in Emerald, rather than having Team Aqua trying to make a volcano erupt for literally no reason other than because that's what Magma does in the other game. I mean seriously, you're blowing up a volcano and spewing lava in all of the surrounding towns just so that the small crater can fill with water and you can keep a few fish in there? That is downright redundant and mad. I'm calling you out, Archie from Sapphire.
Sorry about the long over-analysis, as you can see Team Aqua and Team Magma are my favorite villainous teams, appearing in my favorite generation of games. I am also excited for Mega Sceptile and the other new stuff, I'm just kind of obsessed with the villains of this generation and their appearance too.

Maybe Steven will mine the Gems in the game you know flying, dragon, fire, electric, fairy etc. I already love Mega Swampert.
