‘Delta Emerald’ Trademarked in Japan

In a surprising bit of news, it has come to light that Nintendo trademarked デルタエメラル (Delta Emerald) in Japan. This is most likely just to cover their bases and make sure the name is reserved because of its similarity to the announced Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire remakes coming to the Nintendo 3DS in November 2014. Other Pokémon-themed names have been trademarked before and Nintendo has also purchased a range of .com domain names for games that would never actually exist. Don’t get your hopes up 😉  This was discovered by a 2ch user and the thread can be viewed on Hachima Kikou.

Even so, this is sure to draw some speculation from the fandom at large 😉

  1. :DD Always preferred Emerald’s story and fighting two teams, so this is great news if it turns out to be a future game. Makes me wonder why they would release ORAS as well as Delta Emerald instead of just Delta Emerald. I think this would be the first time this has happened. Perhaps it’s a sequel?

    • This somewhat proves that it will be forms not Mega’s for kyogre/groudon, mainly because if it’s a third version there is added features and you can’t really add in Mega’s (x and y has R1,2 and 3 mega stones hidden in the coding as well as the latis) which could mean they are forms(I really hope so I want to keep my alpha kyogre like that way)

  2. This is weird. I don’t think they would make a third remake, yet Gamefreak might surprise us…
    But why would they only trademark DELTA Emerald?

  3. There are PLENTY of things to consider:

    -In 2009, Pokemon Black, White, Grey, Brown, & Purple were all trademarked. Did we ever see the ladder three? Nope.

    -“Delta Emerald” doesn’t have the same connotation as Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. Omega means Ending, Alpha means beginning, there is no greek character for “Middle”.

    -IF, and I say IF… this game does end up really happening, it could possibly combine the events of ORAS and XY, and consolidate them to one big final game? Delta represents a triangle. Here is what it denotes in Mathematics, looks like it could relate to XY:

    • Well it’s not fake…seeing as it’s real
      And it’s not confirming anything, just a trademark to make sure nobody copies Nintendo

    • Hi JENN are you enjoying trolling people on here? Such a damn shame everyone here thinks your cool and they wouldn’t hesitate to back you up in a heartbeat beat. You continue to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes making pretend your this Kikiw3 chick and also Loren from bad girls club on your JENN account. Breaks my heart ):

        • Thanks for breaking my heart even more D: If I have such problems would it bother you to just look this up “Loren BGC12” on google images? I love this community and I know a lot of you guys have good hearts and this “JENN girl” is completely making pretend she’s another person.

          The
          girl in JENN’s profile pictures is Lo (Loren) London from Bad Girls Club:
          Chicago.

          Here’s her twitter https://twitter.com/LO_LONDON
          and here’s her instagram too http://instagram.com/lo_london. I don’t like when people are lied
          to and taken advantage of and everyone here has been fooled thinking
          that’s her. She’s exhibiting the same behavior as this girl Loren on the Bad Girls Club tv show which is basically like the Real World but with 7 females living under one roof instead. Please go back to her old posts and connect the dots. Either a friend or family member of hers argues with her and trolls around on the Kiki account or its a stranger that’s aware of her faking that she’s someone else so in they are mess with her. Notice that this Kiki chick says she’s from Mobile, Alabama which is where this Loren girl is from.

          • Well until we all agree on calling her a fake we don’t care. even if she is a fake we like her and thats that

    • Exactly. I don’t see it getting released. And if it does, will definitely under go a title change to “Infinite Emerald”. Delta Emerald literally makes no sense, but that was the most common fan suggested name. I actually quite remember like 5 people here guessing DeltaEmerald or SigmaEmerald, and a few over at Gamefaqs, but Delta & Sigma literally have no signifance or meaning and don’t correlate with “Beginning & End”. Infinite Emerald would actually make sense.

      I think they registered it because it was a common suggested name and they didn’t want anyone running off with a fake game with this title.

  4. Well this is a curve ball….. does this imply ORAS has no battle frontier? That would be a HUGE disappointment for me. 90% of the reason I like emerald is battle frontier.

  5. You know what this means? Probably nothing. But if it does come out, I’ll buy it to complete the gen 3 3DS collection.

  6. I know it’s a long shot but does anyone have a 5-6iv ditto then can give to me so I can get into competitive battling properly? 😮

  7. If they do have Delta Emerald… Then it DOES mean change, as people have said… Then hopefull they’ll have type changing Pokemon?

  8. I guess it’s Delta, not Theta.

    Also, I just thought of something. You know the Reversing Mirror (that’s what I like to call it) that changes the Kami Trio’s formes? Well, who says that the mirror’s only used for them? What if Game Freak uses it again for a new pokémon?

  9. If Delta Emerald DOES happen, it could be some kind of combo of emerald and continuation of X and Y. Like the sequel to X and Y taking place in Hoenn or some kind of island in between and have rayquaza involved. STRANGE SOUVENIR TIME!

    On a side note, just got out of school. Walked home. Took 30 minutes. My poor shirt ._. School is OVAH tomorrow!

  10. Releasing an separated remake of a 3rd vesion seems like a shameless way to get money out of your fans, we’re already getting a Ruby/Sapphire remake this year, we don’t need another.

  11. I heard this interesting theory about the ORAS Champion and I see it happening.

    Steven will be the champion when you first battle him in the League. However, after beating the game, Wallace will be the new Champion and Steven will be the Super Boss in that one cave.

  12. I don’t want another remake of Kanto. There’s quite literally no memorable landmarks there. And we already did the cool stuff from 1st Gen inside of XY already:

    -We chose our Kanto starters
    -We caught Mewtwo post game
    -We caught 3 legendary birds post game
    -We caught Snorlax blocking the road & woke it up with flute
    -Santalune Forest has the same structure as Viridian Forest.
    -We got a Trivia Gym in Lumiose.
    -Can pretty much catch about 140 of the 151 Pokemon in XY. I don’t see a point on Kanto again.

  13. Delta Emerald could be the mysterious new 3DS game that might get revealed at E3 this year. But something bugs me, why not reveal Delta Emerald at the same time as Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? I really think that the name is just for copyright purposes like Water Blue but because Game Freak has lately broken the mold, I can’t help but think this is going to be an actual game.
