It was listed as a highly plausible release given the number of references made across Pokemon X and Y, and today The Pokemon Company International have announced that they will be giving Ruby and Sapphire the chance to shine once again. In November 2014, the next two games: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire will be launched exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS.
While they are still remaining tight lipped on the specifics of this release, they have described these releases as a “fresh take on Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire” and promise to take players “through a dramatic story within a spectacular new world”.
From those two quotes, it sounds like we should expect something more than a port of the original Gameboy Advance game, especially the “new world” component. Either way, it seems like the Hoenn Region will once again have its chance to shine after more than a decade since the original releases of Ruby and Sapphire.
