>>19279756Given how big some of Hoenn's routes are, and how slow the XY engine seems to be, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if ORAS turned out to be in a new region. It would contradict the only bit of info we have about the games that isn't their covers or release dates, yes, but that would make the resultant shitstorm even better.
I'm pretty sure /vp/ was moving more quickly than /a/ when ORAS was announced. Imagine what this board would look like if Hoenn isn't confirmed after all.
