Journey Back to Hoenn – Roar of Time: Generation III

by

It seems like only yesterday I started the Journey to X & Y article series, when in actuality it’s fast approaching six months since I did! Admittedly the inferno of hype for X & Y has flickered down into a smouldering cinder, but that’s expected, the games are out. Many of our readers enjoyed the articles we ran last year, and we’ve decided to continue the generation weeks we failed to complete before the release of the games. They’ll be a little different however—just a title change really, but still a heap of fun!

In Roar of Time we asked our readers what they would add to older games, if they gained the ability to travel back in time and make any change or additions they wanted. This time round it’s the same deal! If you could take control of Dialga and morph time back to the early development stages of Ruby and Sapphire (or any of the other Third Generation games!), what would you change? What would you take away? What would you add?

We don’t want you to be too outrageous here, keep things realistic. You could also pick something completely obvious, but what’s the fun in that? As we said in the first article don’t forget to consider how your change or addition would have an effect on the future of Pokémon games.

Get those brains working and tell us your ideas, we’ll be featuring our favourites in the next Roar of Time (who can guess what that will focus on?)

Please remember to Like us on Facebook and Follow us on Twitter! Or, if forums are your thing register on our forums, we always look forward to new members joining!

As a side note, please, please try to control your commenting on this article, when it comes to finding content for featuring it becomes very difficult if I have to filter through 1,000 comments saying you’re home from school, or asking if anyone is ‘here’. We have a chat, please use it!

  18. I would add in duel type moves. With the starters, Blaze Kick could be fire-fighting and muddy water could be water-ground.

  19. Viable:
    – Less water and more land overall
    – Physical/Special Split
    – Shellos and Gastrodon
    – Put in Snorlax and Sudowoodoo, and have them block a route somewhere
    – Increase Castform’s stats to 540 BST
    – Nerf Pseudo-legendaries to 580 BST
    – Change Berry farming to Gen 6 mechanics (really this used to be total BS)
    – Remove the mirage island mechanic (leave it to the daily lotto, kthx)
    – Remove the Feebas fishing mechanic and make it move available
    – Remove all Deoxys formes from the game except the base one
    – Increase difficulty of Rival, Gym, Elite 4, Champion encounters
    – Increase the amount of telephone numbers that can be stored

    Crazy:
    – Disable Brendan from the character select screen
    – Remove evasion moves from the game
    – Make all event and trio legendaries available (except those that will come out in Fire Red/Leaf Green)
    – Implement a “no legendaries” link battle mode (I’d say no “ubers”, but this is classic Game Freak)
    – Implement customizable clauses in link battles (choices of sleep, item, species, evasion, ohko)

  20. If I could, I would take away a bit of water from Hoenn, add islands in water routes where you can catch non-Water type Pokémon
