0022 | in which I (briefly) squee about the Ruby/Sapphire remakes

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Confirmed For Worldwide 3DS Launch in November!

I realized that everyone was already squeeing about this yesterday, but while I was (and am) super excited, yesterday was also Dead Day, and as I have two of my most difficult finals today, I had to study. I've taken one of the two already, and am technically studying for the second right now, but I just can't wait any longer to talk about this.

I. Am. So. Excited!

To be fair, Hoenn has never been a region that I've ever been super interested in. Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald (as well as the Red/Blue remakes) were the games I missed during my hiatus as a Pokémon fan, and while I was curious about the games, and had an interest in some of the fanfiction written for it, I just never cared enough to actually hunt down a copy. So, Hoenn's actually the only region where I have never played through one of the games for it.^[1]

That means that, because of these remakes I will 1) finally be able to say I've played through all the regions for the first time since Gold/Silver came out and 2) be able to experience a new (for me) story, characters, and region!

I repeat: So. Excited.

[1] I have played Pokémon White, I've technically played at least one of the Unova games, but that being said, I technically haven't played Black 2/White 2 yet. Yes, I know. It's on my to-do list. Somewhere. As soon as I get around to buying myself a copy.
