	I will say I'd like to see a R/S remake, purely because that would give me incentive to go back and actually play the games for the first time. I do own Emerald, but it's hard for me to go from the DS interface to the GBA interface without glaring, especially after the B/W speed jump. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If you have Emerald that's essentially R/S but with both legendaries available. Mostly what I remember is trying to hop down those accursed mountain steps and the even worse currents to get to the Regis. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That's reassuring only not. I keep intending to pick it up, and then I keep getting distracted. I was hoping for a DS remake because it would mean a much more persuasive argument to play it, based primarily on the interface change. Maybe we'll see one for Gen 6. 3D Rayquaza sounds fun. This reminds me I have to finish porting all my shit over from HG to White. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I still don't like Kyogre much but my goodness Groudon is a beastly mc-beast. And it finally clicked that they were based on the Behemoth / Leviathan omg I love Poke!mythology. Rayquaza is a beast but you can get him in HG/SS.

But no - in a way I'm glad they didn't port it. Gen 3 had some awesome legendaries but there just wasn't enough to really justify adding to that particular set I don't think. It was a step backwards in terms of expanding the region. That said, I can forgive it given that it added double battling + natures and Blaziken and Swampert (and Torterra!!) are my favorite starters... I just don't see a reason to play through it given that like gen 1, once you beat the Elite Four... that's pretty much it.

	Groudon is a MONSTER. Holy crap. I got him and my Rayquaza from HG and just. Holyshit. Stompage. So much fun. This actually motivates me to play my copy of Emerald; 3 is the only generation I haven't played, and if it's not worth waiting for a remake I might as well work on what I've got. And train up another kung-fu fried chicken. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Go for it! It shouldn't take you very long to get through but I remember having a little trouble grinding to catch Rayquaza. If you can get all three starters - or at least Blaziken + Swampert, you should be pretty much set. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's too bad you can't trade backwards, I have a Blaziken From Hell (tm) on HG. Oh well, you can't win 'em all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
