Live Action Version]</ref>, both were published by [[Shōgakukan]])


The most notorious group to be associated with street racing was the {{wp|Mid Night Club}} who gave street racing worldwide attention with its 300km/h antics. It was known for its high standards and organization until they were disbanded in 1999 following a fatal accident involving a group of bosozoku. The expressway racing scene is portrayed in the manga ''{{wp|Wangan Midnight}}'' (formerly serialized in a manga magazine of [[Shogakukan, Inc.]] for short periods before moving out), as well as in the movie series [[:wp:Megalopolis Expressway Trial|Shuto Kousoku Trial]].

With heavier punishments, patrolling police cars, crackdowns in meeting areas and the installation of speed cameras, expressway racing in Japan is not as common today as it was during the 1980s and the 1990s. Still, it occurs on a not-so-regular basis. Persistent racers often install spring assisted license-plate swivelling mechanisms that hold plates down at speed or picture-proof screens over their plates. In 2001, the amount of ''hashiriya'' dropped from 9,624 (in 1995) to 4,365 and police arrests in areas where hashiriya gather are common. Cars are checked for illegal modification and if found, owners are fined and forced to remove the offending modifications.

One of the causes of street racing in Japan is that, despite the numerous and famous race circuits, they can become overcrowded.Furthermore, such circuits may cost as much as ¥20,000 to race,<ref name="hotrodtribe"/> while a highway toll may cost less than ¥1,000.<ref name="hotrodtribe"/>

As in other countries, street racing also occurs on long straights in industrial areas, which are used for drag races, known natively as '''Zero-Yon''' (ゼロヨン) for "0-400" (meters; in America, racing to a quarter-mile, 1320 feet, or 402 meters, is the norm), ''Yon'' is Japanese for "4". This practice gave its name to a popular video game franchise of the 1990s, ''{{wp|Zero4 Champ series}}''.

==Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire remake speculation==
==Random theories==
===Possible hints of a remake===
*The [[Ransei]] region, introduced in [[Pokémon Conquest]], may be located around [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Almia]] regions, if [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based in real-life Japan]].
*In {{2v2|Black|White}}, a [[Backpacker]] in the [[Resort Desert]] mentions that he is from the [[Hoenn]] region.
*The story for the [[Pokémon RéBURST]] manga would be set a century after [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. According to my Pokémon theory, most Pokémon stories are set in 21st-century, but the [[Pokémon RéBURST]] manga would be set in the 22nd-century, as suggested by the usage of [[Burst]] Hearts. Burst Hearts are more technologically advanced than [[Poké Ball]]s.
*Guests in the middle house in [[Undella Town]] (at least in the summer) also mention the Hoenn region.
*Out of all Japanese [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center stores]], if [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based in real-life Japan]], two of them are located in [[Kanto]] region, and another two located in [[Johto]] region, one in [[Hoenn]] region and one in [[Sinnoh]] region. The last one (excluded above) out of these Japanese stores are not belonging to any Pokémon [[region]].
<!--* The [[RageCandyBar]] and [[Old Gateau]], respective specialty items of Johto and Sinnoh, are available in Black and White, though Hoenn's equivalent, the [[Lava Cookie]]s, while present in BW's game data -- as well as [[Pokémon Dream World]] data -- are not obtainable in-game. If not through a future update to the Dream World, Lava Cookies may become available in a future [[Generation V]] game, such as a Ruby/Sapphire remake.-->
*The [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] in the dubbed English version can be considered as an equivalent to [[Pokémon Trivia Quiz]] in original Japanese version, though having entirely different aspects.
*In the [[SS024|first ''Diamond & Pearl'' special]], {{an|Dawn}} decides to travel to [[Hoenn]] to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s there, much like {{an|May}} traveled to Johto for the same reason after the end of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.
*On October 29, 2011, [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center]] stores release new Pokémon Time merchandise featuring [[Generation III]] Pokémon.
*On January 20, 2012, {{p|Rayquaza}}, the [[version mascot]] for {{game|Emerald}}, is chosen as the winner of Pokémon.co.jp's 15th Anniversary poll.
*{{series2|Advanced Generation}} episodes aired on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' to date (Japanese title for each episodes aired):

====Motorsports-related====
{{reflist}}
*{{wp|Super GT}} and {{wp|D1 Grand Prix}} have races held in {{wp|Autopolis}}, an infamous motorsports venue in [[Hoenn]] region. Certain racing drivers such as {{wp|Ken Nomura}}, {{wp|Masao Suenaga}} and {{wp|Takuto Iguchi}} are from Hoenn region.
 
===Arguments for===
* While the original DS can play the [[Generation III]] games, the DSi and 3DS do not. A Nintendo DS or 3DS remake would make Ruby and Sapphire playable on these newer systems.
 
==[[Pokémon RéBURST]] future chapter speculations==
*At least one of the [[Great Gavel]] members will use {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Kyurem}} to [[Burst]], as {{p|Zekrom}} is already in use by [[Ryouga]]. These three Pokémon are members of [[Tao Trio]].

Hashiriya

Street racers, known natively in Japan as hashiriya (Japanese: 走り屋 Hashiri-ya), [1] often occur on expressways and highways, where they are known as kōsoku battle (Japanese: 高速バトル, literally "high-speed battle") or commonly known as Roulette-zoku as they drive round and round in circular motions[1] and frequently occur on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo, real-life Kanto region. Japanese racers have also popularized racing along the narrow winding roads of the mountains of the country, known as Touge. (potrayed in SS[2] and Over Rev![3], both were published by Shōgakukan)

The most notorious group to be associated with street racing was the Mid Night Club who gave street racing worldwide attention with its 300km/h antics. It was known for its high standards and organization until they were disbanded in 1999 following a fatal accident involving a group of Bōsōzoku. The expressway racing scene is portrayed in the manga Wangan Midnight (formerly serialized in a manga magazine of Shōgakukan for short periods before moving out), as well as in the movie series Shuto Kousoku Trial.

With heavier punishments, patrolling police cars, crackdowns in meeting areas and the installation of speed cameras, expressway racing in Japan is not as common today as it was during the 1980s and the 1990s. Still, it occurs on a not-so-regular basis. Persistent racers often install spring assisted license-plate swivelling mechanisms that hold plates down at speed or picture-proof screens over their plates. In 2001, the amount of hashiriya dropped from 9,624 (in 1995) to 4,365 and police arrests in areas where hashiriya gather are common. Cars are checked for illegal modification and if found, owners are fined and forced to remove the offending modifications.

One of the causes of street racing in Japan is that, despite the numerous and famous race circuits, they can become overcrowded. Furthermore, such circuits may cost as much as ¥20,000 to race,[1] while a highway toll may cost less than ¥1,000.[1]

As in other countries, street racing also occurs on long straights in industrial areas, which are used for drag races, known natively as Zero-Yon (ゼロヨン) for "0-400" (meters; in America, racing to a quarter-mile, 1320 feet, or 402 meters, is the norm), Yon is Japanese for "4". This practice gave its name to a popular video game franchise of the 1990s, Zero4 Champ series.
