Yes that features needs to return

But imagine the amount of Pokemon that could follow you It'd take up so much space.

I hope those names are real, I love them

Hoenn is my least fave region though

[Saph]

Imagine walking with your whole team

ooh I liked Hoenn A little too much ocean though D; I cba with tentacool..

[Doogle]

That would make the game feel so cool

And yeah it was a nice region other than the ****ing water making the game unbearable at parts!

Twinsies!

I'm not into the cards, just the mainstream RPG. Played Ranger too, it got frustrating and damages my screen xD But they should make one for the 3DS!

Today, the fifth Pokemon movie, Pokemon Heroes, celebrates its 10 year anniversary!



The film was released in Japan on 26th July 2002 and internationally on 16th May 2003.

The movie is set in a city based on Venice, Italy. The city is watched over by Latios & Latias who are known as the city's guardians. To cut a long story short, 2 Team Rocket members try to control the power of the 2 Pokemon so that they can control the city and possibly the world. This causes a tidal wave that can only be stopped by Latios & Latias and anyone whos seen the film will know it has a sad ending

It was also the last ever Pokemon film that Misty appeared in!

Although it's one of my favourite Pokemon films, the film recieved negative critique and due to bad sales, became the last Pokemon film to air in US cinema's.

If you havent seen it, you really should watch it

Wednesday marked the 10th anniversary of Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire in Japan.



Released November 21st 2002, Ruby & Sapphire introduced 135 new Pokemon as well as new characters, new anime and a new region.

This also marked the beginning of Generation 3 of the Pokemon franchise which introduced spin off games such as Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon X Gale of Darkness, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Pokemon Dash, Pokemon Channel and Pokemon Ranger.

Hopefully the announcement of the inevitable remakes of R/S/E will be soon! but for now lets remember the best of Gen 3

Hoenn was amazing in how it looked but it was awful to play because of the water. It was my least favourite gen though, but wow 10 whole years
