Summary
It ’s been more than 20 year since the Hoenn realm was introduced to thePokémoncanon , brought to life through thePokémon Ruby and Sapphiregames for the Game Boy Advance . The third multiplication brought with it 135 newPokémon from the Hoenn area , while the games introduced twofold battle and Pokémon contest to the gameplay experience , building upon the game formatting the previous installments had laid . Ruby and Sapphirewere the precursors forPokémon Emerald , which is ofttimes proclaim as one of thebest games in the enfranchisement ’s account .
But in a new berth on X ( formerly Twitter ) , it seems some unexampled information on the well - bang Gen 3 plot has rise up . According toKmie_821on X , as shared by well - knownPokémonleaks accountCentroLeaks , RubyandSapphireweren’t the original name for the game fructify in the Hoenn region , though it seems Game Freak had decided on the general colors . KmiE_821 stated in a berth that when looking through the game ’s RS files , Gen 3 ’s titles were in the beginning labeledIndigo VersionandCrimson Version .
Some of the source computer code look to be in Japanese , though as KmiE_821 notes , these are not prescribed translations , so it ’s possible that these are not all exact . That say , it ’s affirm that the RS filing cabinet used " 藍 " and " 朱 " as proxy for the games , though whether those were the original title or the codenames used by Game Freak to prevent leak is n’t light , and The Pokémon Company has n’t commented on this news show .
While there were several game - exchange additions with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire back in 2003 , there ’s one that could easily make a comeback .
Pokémon Gen 3 Datamine Also Finds Alternate Names For Teams Aqua & Magma
They Were Almost Called Team Marine & Team Tunnel
In add-on to the possible substitute names forRuby and Sapphire , KmiE_821 andWobbuufound that there were unlike names in the root code for Team Aqua and Team Magma , the several crime organizations in the games . According to Wobbuu , Team Aqua was originally called"Team Marine " and Team Magma was " Team Tunnel . "
It ’s not entirely clear when these were changed , though when get hold of a snug look at the felonious organizations ' Pokémon selections , these original squad names make signified . Team Magma ’s Pokémon pick does n’t have as many ardor - type Pokémon as one would think , break the radical ’s name . Even Groudon , the Legendary Pokémon players catch near the end ofPokémon Ruby , is a Ground - type Pokémon instead of a Fire - type .
Team Magma grunt also battle with rosters devoid of Fire - type Pokémon . Grunts often combat with a rotating selection of Zubat , Poochyena , and Numel , along with their subsequent evolutions . Zubat is a Flying / toxicant - type , Poochyena is a Dark - type , while Numel is a Ground / Fire - type . Any member of Team Magma who fights with a Fire - type Pokémon only utilize earth - case move , leaning into the original Team Tunnel name . A similar flake of irony come in Team Magma ’s competition : Team Aqua does n’t use any Water - type movesinPokémon Sapphire .
Of naturally , there is n’t much to confirm these leaks as legitimate , and Game Freak has remained pretty muted when divulging details about thePokémongames ' development process . What led to the developer ’s conclusion to rename the games toPokémonRuby and Sapphireisn’t clear , but it likely pave the means for Gen 9 ’s titles , Pokémon Scarlet and Violet .
