... you're... kidding, right? The fact we've gotten a Mega Rayquaza with a prominent story role means nothing here?This, and...
Why would they? This doesn't prove anything. Delta Emerald is a registered trademark, and I know, I know, before people bring up Water Blue and Grey, yes, I do know about them, but I also know that until Gen VI is over, DE is still an option for GF.
Look, Yellow was a ploy designed to mimic the anime, and could not have been remade and still be relevant; therefore, WB would have likely just ended up being a clone of FRLG, which would have been a waste. Crystal was a basic rewrite of the Gold and Silver plot, whose crowning difference was the use of Suicune as the cover legend, and very little major differences elsewhere. Emerald, on the other hand, wasn't a ploy, and it wasn't a minor rewrite. It was a fusion of its predecessors, and it received a full plot upgrade on top of that. This is an upgrade that ORAS, by all indications, seems to be ignoring. Therefore, it is a plot that will go unused, and that leaves room for GF to actually use it later on, if they so choose.
My point is, just because there are apparently two main series games left for Gen VI, does not mean that they have to be XY2. They could just as easily be ZDE, and to be quite frank, if we don't get an epic cutscene of a 3D Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon going at it and decimating Sootopolis, then I, for one, am most certainly going to be praying for Delta Emerald's production over XY2's. Double that if the Battle Frontier, or some equivalent, is not put into play.
Rayquaza and it's main story role was what set Emerald apart from Ruby Sapphire. Without that what on earth would they do for a Delta Emerald? Base the whole game on Battle Frontier island? Focus on the Battle Tents? Put the bulk of the story in Mirage Tower, the Underground Path and upgraded Safari Zone?
ORAS has already taken Emerald's main story mechanic and integrated it into themselves. Without that, a possible Delta Emerald would either have no reason to exist or would have to have a completely different story, and which point it's no longer a remake of Emerald.
