However, the third trailer shows off some new footage, most notably of the Abandoned Ship, Hoenn at nighttime, Mega Evolving Latios/Latias before heading off to Soar, and Mega Rayquaza at the Sky Pillar,  It also showcases some older footage of some of the new Mega Evolved Pokemon, Super Secret Bases, Mega Rayquaza, Contests and more. There was also a small preview of the Victory Road music in one of the trailers.

    • That is one thing that actually bothered me about RSE. I never liked how you never saw your rival’s fully evolved starter. Plus, I wouldn’t mind another battle with Wally, cause he’s a rival too imo. I’d really like them to change at least one of those two things in ORAS (specifically the first one).

      • It just felt really weird.
        I want more Wally. Cause Wally is just too adorbs.
        Like I wouldn’t care for another rival battle as much, cause I felt like Brendan was rood…I dunno why xD Or he has a bad temper, I dunno.

        • Yeah, I get you lol. Even though I’m a guy (and straight), there was always a certain charm about Wally. I liked how he was like the final test before the Elite Four. As for your rival, he/she was just ticked that you were better than they were, even though they were a trainer first lol. XD

          • I know right? Wally is awesome :3
            And truuueee but they shouldn’t be all rooooddd about it.
            I dunno what May felt/said during the games, since I always play as a girl, so I dunno if they were ticked. From what I saw from other people playing, it sounded like May was nicer, especially in the beginning. Brendan was all high and mighty xD

          • Yeah, she was nicer from what I remember (haven’t played RSE in a long time lol). But I thought it was a nice change from the ways of Blue and Silver in the first two gens. Blue was very, uh, snooty and Silver was to the point of physical abuse. I guess Brendan was just prideful, while May was more compassionate, even though neither was happy with losing.

          • But SIlver is da bomb 😀
            Especially cause my Pokemon OTP is SOulsilvershipping. Like a happy girl and a mean guy just yesssss.
            Especially that Radio Tower stripping scene ohohohohoho~
            I get too excited about these things xD
            And I guess :3 It stands them out a bit from other rivals :3
            Calem is a bit like Brendan to me though. But nicer, I guess.

          • Oh, yes! Silver was AWESOME! Maybe because he was the first rival I really got to know (started with Red, but remember Silver as being my first true game). And I gotta say, I like reading about shipping pairs in Pokémon too lol, in both the anime and the games (probably more than I should, but oh well! XD). I didn’t face Calem as a rival, but I thought that Serena was sweet.

          • OMG just yessss shipping is too awesome but also kind of addicting xD Like if I encounter a new shipping through some medium, regardless if I am in the fandom or not, I will ship it regardless. Gets pretty dangerous.
            Recent addictions include Kainora from LOK, because they are just too adorable I need some Kainora in Book 4 just yes.
            Anyways xD
            I love characters with a dark past/dark self who betters themselves and have depth to them. It’s why I love SIlver. I love deep characters.
            I saw a lot of Serena through other people’s playthroughs and I thought she was very sweet 😀 THere should definitely be a guy rival who is very sweet and nice, but has a darker reason why, and you bond with him so much. Like yess. Or just sweet and nice in general. I mean, sure, there’s Barry, but that wasn’t his main characteristic. I want a guy rival who is more known for his kindness and sweetness.
            Maybe that’s why I like Wally. He’s closer to that kind of rival, I guess :3

          • Yeah, I like that too! I mean, I guess that’s how my brain is wired to look for those sorta things lol, no idea. But I like it when characters have a connection like that and it goes beyond the story that the writers are trying to tell. That’s actually one of the things that fascinates me about some of the games I play, the fact that the people who made them put so much thought and effort into the story they used.
            And I agree about the guy rival needing to be nice for a change. I mean, sure, it’s probably a bit of a stereotype that guys are supposed to be tough-minded, but can’t we have someone be sincere and sweet for a change? Maybe it’s just me being a guy saying this, or maybe I would like to see a character in Pokémon I can actually relate to. I’ve been told many times in my life I have these types of characteristics, so I think it would be cool for a change, but that’s just me.

          • Exactly! Deep characters just are more relateable and are just more realistic in general!
            And yeah, and maybe have a tough girl rival that’s not necessarily mean, but is more of a tomboy that doesn’t want help, but you made her realize that helping is necessary and it is not a sign of weakness.
            And with the guy, he’s kind of naive, so during the journey something happens to make him reconsider the world, but he still is nice and sweet and he tells you that he wants to focus on the positives in life.
            Like sure, it both probably will need more than changed dialogue to make this happen, but, I think you can execute this change with just changed dialogue.
            Besides, breaking stereotypes like that just makes characters like that more awesome.

          • Indeed it does, and that’s one reason I like Serena from the anime (yes, I still follow the anime sometimes lol). I feel her not knowing what she wants to do with her life makes her more more capable of being related to that some of Ash’s other partners. I mean, how often does a person know what they want to do with the rest of their life, especially at that age?
            I like the idea of also making the rivals or other important characters (like how you had numerous rivals in X/Y) break from the mold of “tough guy” or “sweet and helpful girl”. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with either, but seeing something else also shows that they want these games to feel real to the player, which makes it more fun. And above all else, it’s cool to see characters actually develop before the player’s eyes as they go through the story. Because to me, monotone characters that are the same at the end as they were the beginning is meh.

          • YESSS I love change in characters.Humans go through change all the time, so it makes it more realistic if change happens throughout the story. Silver is one huge example.
            Like even Barry kinda changes, like from losing to Jupiter on Lake Acuity and I felt kinda of sad for him afterwards.
            Brendan to me didn’t change at all, as well as Cheren. He was kind of the same while Bianca became more sure of herself, like I love her.
            Hugh also went from blatantly using you and kind of not caring about you (but still consider you his friend) to really supporting you and your dreams. Like it’s very subtle, but I noticed it :3
            And the XY rivals didn’t necessarily change, maybe Shauna and Serena/Calem experiencing the most change, but they still were lovable in a way.

          • And that’s what I like about those characters. You see the events of the story happen to them and change them. Silver starts to realize that he should be nice to Pokémon after getting thrashed by Lance. Barry starts to realize that he should change his ways after Jupiter defeats him. This is what I’m looking for in character development, and it makes the games more fun and the story more interesting. It keeps the player guessing as to where they are going to go next. Perhaps that’s why my favorite part about Pokémon games has always been the story. Sure, you go around, collect badges, catch Pokémon, etc. But there’s more to it than that. You try to become a Pokémon master and deal with all the ups and downs of travelling through vast regions.

          • Exactly. People always tell me all the time, and even my brother, that the story is always the same, and is very repetitive and boring. But then I tell them there is more to it. The villain team has very scary and evil plans. People change their views, there are lessons to learn. You learn so much from them, and those characters and their actions make the story more than just a boring repetitive quest for being the best.

          • That hits the nail on the head. Is the basic plot the same? Probably, but they’re smart enough not to mess with success. The key that keeps Pokémon going is how they develop a story for each game off the basic format. You’ve had various evil team motives like Rocket, Aqua/Magma, Galactic, Plasma, and Flare. Each one with their own style. And the supporting cast changes every game, and they all have certain qualities that make them unique.

  7. So here’s what we learned today:

    ~ NL lacks an ass
    ~ Percy tastes like chocolate and bananas
    ~ Mawile makes some extremely cheesy puns
    ~ I’m apparently wanted in Sinnoh for stealing an Espeon

    Pretty successful day, don’t you agree?
