==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.

==Edit suggestions==
* "<nowiki>are the secondary [[paired version]]s of [[Generation VI]]</nowiki>" 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 {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}? 
* "Both games were revealed {{tt|during|in}} a worldwide announcement by the official Pokémon {{tt|websites,|remove comma}} on May 7, 2014. The paired versions will be released worldwide {{tt|during|in}} November 2014."
* Change "<nowiki>[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire]]</nowiki>" to "<nowiki>{{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}</nowiki>" —<font face="Segoe UI"><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em">[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="#fff">The</font>]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="red">Best</font>]]</span></font> 16:14, 26 June 2011 (UTC) 05:29, 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). —<font face="Segoe UI"><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em">[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="#fff">The</font>]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="red">Best</font>]]</span></font> 16:14, 26 June 2011 (UTC) 09:26, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

== Poké Transporter ==

If these games use the Poké Transporter, like [[Pokémon X and Y|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/

::::::Not the way in your comment since that would be combining two quotes together.

==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"

== 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. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 06:59, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
:You haven't followed the news, have you? They were [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/140508/index.html confirmed] to be remakes yesterday.

::I've been following the news since it broke, but every tweet and article just repackaged/re-tweeted the same info. 99% of every article I found on the subject of the remakes just quoted the blurb from the trailer. That article you linked to was the first OFFICIAL piece of news I've seen that gave details on the remakes.

== 'Oras' is the Lithuanian word for 'Weather' ==

The name of the games is likely a play on the letters theme started with XY (ie. the Greek letters 'Α' and 'Ω'), and the Lithuanian word for weather, [https://translate.google.com/#en/lt/weather Oras] -- weather being one of the prominent elements of RSE. Sounds like a interesting fact to add to the Trivia section. --[[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash Pokemaster]] ([[User talk:Ash Pokemaster|talk]]) 13:07, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
