Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany... Tobutz98 (talk) 19:17, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Pages related to any breaking news are generally protected to prevent wild speculation or misinformation from being added. I'm not sure if there's a specific place or way to request edits to locked pages, sadly. Yamiidenryuu (talk) 19:36, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

The place to request edits for locked pages is on their talk page, or the talk page of a staff member. --It's Funktastic~!_{話してください} 19:55, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Add Template

I think it would be wise that one of the Admins put "Template:Upcoming notice" or a different template I could not find on this page because it is new unless I am wrong and this is not necessary because of the page protection. Dbeckelheimer6 (talk) 21:30, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Edit suggestions

• "are the secondary [[paired version]]s of [[Generation VI]]" implies that every subsequent generation has had "secondary paired versions" (a phrase that is being used to represent both remakes and sequels), which is incorrect. Why not just copy and customize the text from the intros of FireRed and LeafGreen and HeartGold and SoulSilver?
• "Both games were revealed during a worldwide announcement by the official Pokémon websites, on May 7, 2014. The paired versions will be released worldwide during November 2014."
• Change "[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire]]" to "{{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}" —TheVeryBest 16:14, 26 June 2011 (UTC) 05:29, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I have made some changes as you have requested. —darklordtrom 07:59, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, trom. However, it says that November 2014 is the release date, but I think this should say release period. Also, "PAccording to the press release which announced the games" should be "According to the press release that announced the games". Some users seem to think that which can replace that in this instance because I see it often, but this is folly. For instance, the phrasing "The book, which I read last night, was exciting" must use which and not that, while "The book that I read last night was exciting" is the opposite (but may also omit that entirely). —TheVeryBest 16:14, 26 June 2011 (UTC) 09:26, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Folly indeed. —darklordtrom 10:41, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Trailer Video

Done, although I dislike that template so I chose not to use it. —darklordtrom 10:41, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Poké Transporter

If these games use the Poké Transporter, like X and Y, will it be worth noting that these are the first remakes to be compatible with the originals, if indirectly?

Press Release Description

The second paragraph "According to the press release that announced the games, the new titles will to take players through a dramatic story within a spectacular new world." should be changed to reflect that this is not a new game as "spectacular new world" implies. The official website also gives a far more accurate description of the game http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-omega-ruby-and-pokemon-alpha-sapphire/ Luneth (talk) 15:31, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

So why don't we just delete the "new" in "a spectacular new world"? Snekradguy (talk) 16:03, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Modifying any quote typically makes the quote unusable. ^Maverick_Nate 16:59, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

It isn't really a quote because the video never mentions "a spectacular new world". Only "an epic new adventure" and "a dramatic new world". Snekradguy (talk) 19:01, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

It's a quote from the official press release. Kai * the Arc Toraph 19:26, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Can we at least put "an epic new adventure in a spectacular new world" in quotes? --KommanderAwesome (talk) 20:23, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Not the way in your comment since that would be combining two quotes together. The largest stretch I can see is, the games will take players on "an epic new adventure" to "a dramatic new world." Still, I believe the wording on the article is the best so far. --Super goku (talk) 21:57, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

New information from Serebii

we should include this info from todays news: http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

"Following its reveal yesterday, there has been some question as to the actual content of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, as to whether they're remakes or new versions due to the wording of the announcement. During the Investor Briefing today, Satoru Iwata confirmed that Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are full-remakes of the 2002 releases, Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire. We'll bring more on these games as it comes Edit @ 15:38: The Japanese arm of The Pokémon Company sent out an e-mail to all Daisuki Club members which ends up pointing out the differences to Groudon & Kyogre on the box-art, stating that they're showcasing "never before seen Pokémon", the same terminology they used for Black & White Kyurem, as well as Mega Mewtwo Y upon their reveal, indicating that they are more than stylised artwork of the Pokémon. We'll bring more on this as it comes"

Serebii should not be used as a source. PattyMan 00:43, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

I personally received that email and did not see any indication this was true. ^Maverick_Nate 01:26, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Use of the word Remake

Should we really use the word "remake" quite yet?

I know from previous patterns, the naming of the games and all that points to remakes, but at this point in time they might just be sequels or new games entirely. They even mention a new world, and the guy who gives the idol mentions a new region, so this might not take place in Hoenn at all.

I'm really just playing devil's advocate here, but we should watch the wording on the article for now. Yamitora1 (talk) 06:59, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
