Seems that Pokémon is going the yearly route. I'm afraid this may hurt it quality, reputation and hype in the long run. We had Black2/White2 in 2012, X/Y in 2013, now ORuby/ASaphire in 2014... I predict X2/Y2 in 2015 followed by Gen7 in 2016 (maybe on new hardware). And then maybe D/P remake in 2017 maybe?
Anyway, im super hyped for this game. Does'nt matter if it's a sequel or remake to me since the original games had a solid storyline (which X/Y lacked). I think I'll pick up saphire again like I did 10years ago.
I also think that Mega evolutions were a brilliant idea specialy made for remakes. You can't add new pokémons in remakes, you can only really add them in new gens. And it's hard to keep a game super exciting w/o new pokémons. So that's where Mega evolutions come in.
I expect mega evolutions of Gen3 pokémons. Since Blaziken already has his, I think it's a no brainer that Marshtomp and Sceptile gets one. And Blaziken better not get 2 like Charizard did cause I'm sick of the fire starters getting all the favorite treatment (I already complained that Blaziken was the only one to get a mega evo back in X/Y while the other 2 got ignored, so I guess this was in preperation for this remake/sequel).
I also hope Marshtomp gets a kick ass mega evo cause I ALWAYS pick the water starter, it's kind of a tradition, I picked Marshtomp last time, but he is w/o a doubt imo the lamest water starter and perhaps the lamest starter of all time lol. Otherwise I may pick Trecko this time around.
If I had to guess on other gen3 pokémons who could get a mega evo, I say Ludicolo and Shiftry. Also maybe Breloom. I doubt the legendaries will have a mega evo this time.
