    In ORAS, the pond from the intro is included at the back of route 103. May/Brendan is facing the pond when you first meet them, and you meet them there again later on.
    What do you think about the inclusion of the intro pond in the game? Is it something you like, or dislike? Do you think there's some significance to it, or none at all?

    I didn't notice it at first, but when I got a closer look, it was a neat little feature that makes you wanna go back there and explore. I don't think there's any particular meaning behind it, or anything. It's just a little graphical feature.

    I think it's really nice! It's kinda cute, and I like how the pond is shown as an actual place in the game itself, not jsut the intro.

    I thought it was cool. Though pretty tiny, it was just a little nostalgic place for you to look to. It was a little more significant in the new games with the player returning to it, and it really just gave me the feels where you meet your rival once again in a place where you battled your rival first.

    I thought it was a really neat addition! A good job with the nostalgia factor. I think a lot of people who previously played the Hoenn games felt really nostalgic when the opening of ORAS first played, and the inclusion of the pond in-game was pretty cool. :)

    I immediately noticed that little pond from the intro sequence, and I thought it was a nice little touch. Nothing too special, but a cool thing nevertheless. That's pretty much all there is to say about it xD

    I really didn't like it. It looked so fake, like a cutout stand that you would see in a play or something.

    I honestly loved it. @[member="Achromatic"] is a hater

    The nostalgia factor was really strong with that one little place in the game, and I thought it was a great addition. It made me really happy to see it there; I actually fanboy smiled when I saw it :P

    Pointless, but still a bit interesting nonetheless. It had me staring for an extra second, but that's it.

    I thought it was a neat little addition, and it was cool that it's now an actual place in the region instead of just a quick scene in the introduction. It's not really important to the story, but it was a cool addition nonetheless.

    When I first watched the opening of OR/AS, I could've sworn I started shedding a tear here. Stupid Nostalgia.
    I then watched the opening again for this part.

    I thought this was awesome. I was literally like "That's the! That's the! The leaf, and the water droplet, and the splashy! That's the pond where! Pfft". That last part was either my mind blowing or me farting from excitement. My memory's kinda hazy. I really don't know why I was so excited, I mean it is just a little puddle.

    I thought it was nice, and most of the people I told didn't even know it was there!
