Pokémon has just announced that Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will be released in November 2014 for the Nintendo 3DS. Not much more is known. Below is what the official site posted in their announcement:
Announcing Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems! Prepare for an epic adventure exploring a world filled with Pokémon!
Pokémon fans first enjoyed Pokémon Ruby Version and Pokémon Sapphire Version when it launched in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance. Now, a whole new generation of Pokémon fans will experience the dramatic storyline that unfolds in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.
Look forward to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire when the games launch worldwide in November 2014!
These games will be released in November world wide as confirmed by the Japanese announcement. The Japanese mini-site is kind of cool, by the way.

ps- Personally I cannot be more excited about these games. I don’t know what a heart attack feels like, but I think I had one when I saw these announced.
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Hidden Ability Trade Shop










Water beats Land. Sorry Earthen. 😉 #ALPHASAPPHIRE
*Water beats Land + Magma.
Thats why Sapphire is Alpha. Cos Kyogre is the true king of Ubers.,,
Had to share this

I hope COROCORO has some stuff this month about it. It’d be nice to see at least some preliminary screen shots lol
Me too. Yet, as I said many times. Nintendo could just hold on news and show off a lot at E3. I’m sensing this is going to be a great E3!
That’s true, but then again why wouldn’t they have just held off all together until E3 anyway then? If they’re gonna announce something at this time I expect at least some teasers lol
Just so people know what’s going to be a E3. Nintendo does that a lot!
Well either way I think that this’ll be a big win for Nintendo this E3 if they show it………….I don’t think I’ve ever said that about Nintendo and E3 before lol
Really? 2013’s E3 was amazing. Mario Kart 8, SM3W, X/Y Trailer, X from Monolith Soft, etc. Nintendo got a B+ at this last year’s E3! This one is going to be better!
Last year’s E3 was decent for Nintendo, but they have a track record for being underwhelming at times lol Either way I’m excited
Hurry up and release screen shots, Game Freaks! ;-;
^THIS
xD GF: “Here are your 5 screenshots.”
1) Unidentified grass square
2) Unidentified grass square #2
3) Unidentified grass square #3
3) A Mega Stone… Of Latios/as
3) Unidentified grass square #3
That’s about right.
“Did I mention the grass squares have recently been announced that they were from Kanto?”
:O no way! You’ve really out done yourselves this time, GF!
“Oh, and these games are in a whole new region. Kanto, 10 years in the future!”
PERFECT! I always wanted to know if they’ll go extinct!
“And this time, we FINALLY added a Dunsparce evo like you guys wanted! .. xD Look at their reactions. Jk, guys, not really.”

… i have the sudden urge to play the game again
This is your year then
Can’t wait for CoroCoro in a couple days 😀
Thousand α rrows
Thousand ω aves
It was there the whole time…
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I’m really surprised to see how quickly this game was announced. It took 3.5 years to work on X/Y. Development for X/Y took place after B/W was released. I wonder how long it took to make this game!
When they preview for the official info Trailer
They’ll play this

How relaxing
Rick Astley? hahaha
*Cough* *Cough* Sapphire! *Cough*
I SWEAR IF I DON’T HEAR TRUMPETS BLASTING BOTH MY EARDRUMS WHEN I PLAY THIS…….MORE THAN TABLES WILL BE FLIPPED >:(
AND THE TIMPANI!!!! THEY BETTER NOT SCREW THE MUSIC OMFG!
Synthesizers will take over ;~;
Your Blissey will seismic toss the tables.
LOL xD
Expect Mega Latios & Mega Latias to make their debut in this game! That might be why the Pokemon were in X/Y coding. Just so we can trade Mega Stones with both versions (and Pokemon)!
I think that Latios and Latias will be distributions in X and Y around the time of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphires released.
Latios in X and Latias in Y.
You can trade them over to OR or AS to unlock an event where you can get the Latiosite or the Latiasite.
But again, CoroCoro will leak next week :3
In 3-4 days :3
D: I just realized we’re gonna have 3 – whatever’s after 3 events in the course of ummm however many months til November.
Regi, you triggered this by trading me that Swampert. 😀
:DDDDD
:DDDDDDDDDD I feel like PJ the website is a prophecy network.
2muchhype5me! 😀
Also, if you didnt know (idk if anyone mentioned this or not), but omega is the last letter in the greek alphabet (it’s 800) and alpha is the first letter in the greek alphabet (it’s 1)
is there anything to do w/anything happening in 800 years ago in X/Y?
And it says “A brand new adventure…” so it will be sequels right..?
1st and last letter. In Merikuh, das A + Z. AZ.
Highly. A sequel/reboot of Hoenn! Brendan or May needs to be champ!
😀 OMG #YASSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I say May could do it…… Yep. *O*
Oh okay, so US still gets the boxart, just not the box color. Okay, I see how it is.
As i think they arent showing screen shots since i have a feeling walking with pokemon will make a comeback with and the special item that comes with it (poketouch) could affect the game in some way
The thing is, with the models, it’d be harder to do.
i disagree since lots of pokemon in x/y had overworld models and wlaking
No, they didn’t walk around with you in the overworld, it was only a few, and that’s like, 10 out of 719.
No! Just like @pokemaster4488:disqus said X/Y just had 5 between 10 3D Pokemon models. They were barely animated too! It would just be a lot of coding and work for GameFreak!
A LOT of coding.
so if they want to make a epic pokemon remake and adventure to be know as a great remake is too work there classes off
Is too work there? What?
*their
Not being rude dude, but your not understanding. Too much coding, too much money, too much work, and wasting too much time! GameFreak is awesome, yet there is a limit with what they can do. Adding models to 700+ Pokemon is a ton of work. This feature would highly never return in another game. Just too much for GameFreak! Also, the 3DS is not super powerful too.
ehhh i wouldn’t say never
the thing is i dont mind not having it… just saying Highly not to return is kinda pointless since as years go on it gets easier to implant such hard tasks
Do you want to model 700+ animated Pokemon 3D models? Usually tasks get easier as time progress. Yet, think about it! In HG/SS they used Sprites. It’s easier to animate Sprites than 3D Models. This would be a huge and time taking task on GameFreak and the 3DS would likely not be able to handle it.
im not saying like now or next year i cann see it returning in Diamond and Pearl reamkes since they kinda had it 😀
Gen 7. More Pokemon. More Work. :O
Well we can dream, right?
Walking with Pokemon. It’s highly not going to happened. It would take a ton of work and it would slow down the 3DS greatly. Yet, if it does it’s a neat feature. PokeWalker was awesome! I hope something similar returns!
the thing is Gamefreaks loves taking on challenges
Not really. It was tough for them to bring Pokemon into 3D. 3.5 year development cycle is rough. Walking with Pokemon again my never return. There is 700+ Pokemon it would take too long and be too tough!
who knows they worked on x.y for awhile they could have been working on this game for so long they dont even want to show anything yet
;~; When I lost one of mine D:::::::::::::: So sad.
Same here! It sucks!
I know, they needed better clips.
OH MY GOD HOW DID THIS HAPPEN I AM FREAKING OUT
loHBbuHOOBUJF Yup! :DDDDDDDD
PokeTouch, Pokken Fighters, both OR/AS compatible??
Hm… Idk.
wait is that mega or just there normal forms
Normal, duh. No, jk they’re Mega, we think, cause they look very different.
it looks like megas then it looks like the colors
Megas or New Forms. I don’t care! This remake is going to be awesome! Yet, I do believe it is a New Mega form! Hoenn did work with lots of orbs, spheres, and stones!
Holy. I wasn’t expecting this.
Like.
I thought this was a joke.
Then I saw the video.
And joyously celebrated in my mind. (My mom just got home when I had finished celebrating out loud by fangirling and screaming)
Yes. Just yes.
Emerald is all I have and all I have known, so if these are remakes with a twist/new graphics/slightly different, then I’d finally get to play the originals! 😀
If it is like B2W2, then I wouldn’t mind either, because those were the better games, imo.
All I need to see now is what they will look like. Screenshots, please. Please. I need to see what Hoenn will look like!!
I just can’t to spend more time fangirling over a new game and new info and new speculationish.
There’s even some right now! 😀
To me, I’m leaning towards more a B2W2 thing that they are hinting at, but if it’s just a remake, I wouldn’t mind either. It’s Hoenn, for goodness’ sake, who wouldn’t be excited for it?!
And I believe those might be Mega evolutions of Groudon and Kyogre, not forms, but hey, whatever floats GF’s boat. (I might have gotten used to Megas since I last talked on here regularly….what. I blame replaying the games and actually using them……and Mega Charizard X. And Mega Abomasnow. Don’t. Judge.)
Anyways, glad to be back somewhat and talking again! (I just couldn’t relate to the tournament and other stuff going on)
EDIT: I need Trick House to come back. Like. If not, I would be so sad and disappointed.
😀 Heyyyyyy and yeah, I hated Megas at first, because they gave some Pkmn megas that should’ve gotten actual evos.
FRICKIN OMEGA RUBY AND ALPHA SAPPIRE!!!!!! :DDDDD
<33333333333 HUG ME BROTHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agreed. I was not okay with them. But then I acutally used them.
I MAY have overused them.
Literally.
Some easy Pokemon I have to fight. Bam. Mega.
I was evil. Still am actually.
xD “Hey, a Bidoof. MEGA AGGRON WILL KEEL YOU ALL!”
More like: ‘Hmm, time to test out this new Mega.’
Level 2 Scatterbug.
;MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GO MEGA CHARIZARD X!!’
(Not actual dialogue. Exaggeration. But still, sorta like that.)
xD Yep.
OH MY GOSH GWRIGJRjgheoiutgwriv wriu :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDdddddTHERE IS NOT ENOUGH WORDS TO SAY HOW HEPPY I AM!!!!!!!!11
My personal wants:
Mega Sceptile 70/155/75/105/85/140 Grass/(Fighting/Flying/Dragon)
Adapatability/Protean/Tough Claws
