Good news for Pokémon trainers who had fun customizing and decorating their own personal corners of the Hoenn region– The Pokémon Company has announced the return of Secret Bases in the upcoming Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
The updated Super Secret Bases, unlike petty regular Secret Bases from the original Ruby and Sapphire, will offer online functionality on top of the ability to select and arrange various decorations for your base.
Super Secret Bases are being advertised as the opportunity to basically create your own Pokémon Gym and invite others to challenge you. If personalization options on offer are extensive enough, it’s easy to envision this becoming another great reason to delve back into the Pokémon universe. Let’s not expect Animal Crossing levels of customization here, but the notion of starting our own gyms, seeing what others have come up with, and challenging them on their own turf, is pretty enticing.
Hopefully this will be just another reason to return to Hoenn when Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire release in North America this November.
