I may be in the minority here, but I'm actually pretty excited about this. While Ruby and Sapphire may not be my favourite games in the series, the Hoenn region is by far my favourite. The rest, except for Sinnoh, are rather bland and uninteresting. But Hoenn has a wide range of environments different from your usual plains, forests and caves. It has a volcano, an route covered in perpetually raining volcanic ash, a desert, lakes and rivers with little islands, a shipwrecked boat, underwater caverns, the seafloor, a treetop town and a town floating in the ocean and so on. Hoenn is going to look great with the visual style of XY. Hoenn also has some of my favourite Pokémon, like Breloom, Flygon, and Zangoose. I found Kalos to be a boring region overall, so I can't wait to go back to Hoenn. Also, Secret Bases!
