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
I know everyone wants their favorite Hoenn Pokemon to receive a mega but, realistically what Megas do you think will be implemented?
Starters
Definitely Metagross if Steven comes back ;~;
Chan pm?
Starters, Metagross.
Camerupt and Sharpedo
Ludicolo and Shiftry
They are iconic to each game
Zangoose and Seviper!
Realistically, it looks like every 3rd gen legend is going to get a mega.
Kyogre, Groudon are confirmed pretty much. Rayquaza is a given. Latios/Latias are already confirmed. R1, R2, R3 are placeholders in XY’s coding that hints at Mega’s for the 3 Regi’s. Looks Like Jirachi/Deoxys are the only one’s without mega’s.
Metagross as the Pseudo Mega, and from Champ.
Milotic, if Wallace.Metagross, if Steven.
I can see Metagross, Salamence (version exclusives?), Camerupt, Ludicolo, and Milotic.
Mega Caterpie.
Mega Magikarp
I think we’ve got the right idea…
LOL. I already got a Mega! I was the one of the Original Six! IDK what my 2nd favorite Hoenn Pokémon is, but I’d like to see Sableye get a Mega. Yeah, I know it’s already a demon in Wifi Battles, but I find it’s current strategy to be boring and cheap.
Is it normal for Kyogre to have those patterns on its head? 😮
no… it’s it mega kyogre

😮
Excuse my ignorant.
I never played the RSE versions so I don’t know much about them. XD
you will fall in LOVE with HURREN!
Still doesn’t look mega to me. Looks like it’s just reacting to some sort of ‘energy’
Isn’t that what Mega Evolution is?
Your pokemon reacting to your mega stone?
Yeh. But I mean the physical features have not changed. Maybe it’s just in the presence of said energy and the patterns on it body have started to glow.
Actually it could be like the BW legends and glow. maybe its holding an orb and gained the patterns like in the manga. Or maybe because the 3DS is much more powerful than past devices that they can throw on a lot of stuff.
I think they called it “Overdrive” or something like that. Could be REALLY wrong.
THAT’S IT!
you do realize it has completely different colored eyes, and a new design on its head right?
Definitely going to be Water/Fairy or Water/Electric.
Not all Mega’s have drastic design changes. Look at Ampharos, Aerodactyl, Venasaur.
Water/Electric! A bigger version of Lanturn!
Would love it =) bye bye rotom wash.
I hate those bastards.
I don’t think you can say good bye to Rotom washes utility. Will-o-wisp, Volt Switch and Levitate are too good to pass up.
Kangaskhan. It simply gave birth. I noticed all that, and I’m not saying it isn’t, but they’re are many possibilities.
Well look at the rims of it. the bottom one with it’s eye is now blue. It’s fins got new patterns and the rest of the patterns are now white.
exactly. completely new set of eyes and design on its head. Even its tail fins are longer and more whispy
Typing should be water/electric.
It’s a Mega. It’s not it’s normal form.
WHY IS THIS GIF NOT WORKING?!
Because that’s no gif.
lol!
I can see the alpha and omega pattern in Groudon and Kyogre now. 😮
I confess, I never played the Hoenn games because I was only one years old at the time of it’s release. The very first Pokemon title I ever played was Platinum and Heartgold. 😀
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED
JK
You will love them trust
i was little when they came out too. But i still played them/ My first game was Pearl then Soulsilver.
Wait youre 10?
I’m 11. I was born 8/17/2002. I know, it’s confusing, I myself am not that precise with my dates… lol! But, yeah, I was one and now I’m turning 12.
I feel so OLD!!!!!!!!! lol
Don’t! It’s because you bought the games that Pokemon is still healthy and stronger than ever! WE ARE THE X GENERATION POKE’PLAYERS!!!
Hahahaha ok I feel better now lol 😉
Gamefreak better release at least ONE screenshot every week from now on. The hunger for news is real.
1/4 of a screenshot in black and white; one for each month until.
It’s not hunger it’s starvation.
Realistically I see Mega Groudon as Ground/Fire
Mega Kyogre will probably stay pure Water
But Groudon is already weak to Kyogre, giving it Ground/Fire will give it 4x weakness to Kyogre.
Yes I know, but I’m saying realistically
Groudon needs some Fire Stab to go with his ability.
if it becomes Water/Electric it will have that STAB 100% accuracy Thunder though. YUS. It will definitely be dual typed though with something, it just looks like its giving off some kind of aura.
Ground Fire. Allow it to learn Flare Blitz. Finally Groudon stands out above Kyigre
Groudon and Kyogre are already HUGE in size and have a detailed design, you couldn’t expect their mega’s too look drastically different like Mega Banette.
Agreed! I’m glad it’s not over-designed!
Pretty average day. Don’t care, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Wut.
He’s saying that he doesn’t care if this is just an average day, because ORAS is now a thing.
That is cooooorrect!
Thanks for the translation. I was worried for a second.
You…you are dead to me…..JK
Hello? XD
It’s me Gentleman of sinnoh(or kanto)! I changed to hoenn just for this! btw:when ever you see gentleman of—— thats me. lol
no replay? ok.
ShinyKevin confirmed!
On the same day as ORAS! Who would have thought?
I would have thought. *Primps neck fur*
Good Day Xatu-San.

*facepalm*
HA!!! XD
It is going to take a while to get used to ORAS. It doesn’t have the same ring to it as HGSS did.
HUHGUHSUHHHSUHHHH.
I don’t really think you can say HGSS has a ring to it…
Heart of Gold, Soul of Silver?
I’m talking about HGSS as is.
ORAS is actually pronounceable.
Oh. That was pronounced as you said.
Hugs.
Much better.
higs
Hegs. It’s hugs. Sorry.
I dunno. Maybe I’m just used to hearing HGSS and FRLG.
I can finally engross myself in Pokemon X and Y’s post-game story arc! Finally done with my 81 page research paper, board, and now, I just have to produce an amazing show to an audience of over 150… no pressure right?
I have a question.There will be character customization?
No.
🙁
(Yes)
Thank goodness.
Wow, you sucha hatur.
“Yes”
-Junichi Not Masuda
Better question: Will there be Bench Sitting?
There better dang well be hahaha
Better question: will wally use mega gardevoir?
Better question: Who will be the Champion? I was thinking Wally, but Diantha has a Mega Gardevoir.
@moving:disqus
How do you feel about the announcement? 😮
Honestly? I’m excited. But not half as excited as everyone else is. It’ll be good. I just want Sinnoh. 🙂
Wait your turn, sir. xD
I first played Pokémon in Sinnoh as well. Pearl, it was.
My first game was Red. I just like Sinnoh the most!
He’s a hoenn hater!
That is why i asked xD
EXCUSE ME.
What Mega do I want? The better question is…what Mega we will get. If Mega Xatu isn’t in the game this time around, there is no excuse for GameFreak. Tate and Liza anyone?
I miss double gyms…
Well now they’re back! 😀
Oh, hey Kevin! 😀 And I agree about that whole Mega Swampert thing you just talked about.
No question of that happening. If Blaziken did, they all will.
Mega Noivern.
hi Kevin. I want for Tate and liz’s rebattles(we are getting that right?) They shoulld use mega Metagross and mega Xatu for there double battle.
That is certainly possible 😀
2010 – OMG! WHEN ARE THE HOENN REMAKES GOING TO COME!
2011- OMG! IT’LL NEVER COME!!
2012- WE CAN STILL HOPE! GAME FREAK, MAKE IT HAPPEN!
2013- … H… O… HOPE???
2014- WAHHHHHHH!!!! NEVER SAW THAT COMING!!!
If we keep alluding to it…then maybe one day it will happen.
The fruits of my labor!
Nice!
OH MY GOSH!!!!! TORTERRA IS MY FAV POKEMON!!!!! AND YOU JUST MADE HIM COOLER!!!
If ORAS really are sequels, which I’m sure they are, do you think Game Freak will pull a B2W2, and have some gym leaders retire and replaced with new ones?
plz!!! retire wattson
LOL. I was thinking the same thing. 3 Electric Gyms in a row makes me sick!!! What type should replace the Electric Gym? And don’t say Dark because we know if it happens, then it’s the end of the Franchise!!!
JK. You can say Dark if you want.
fairy probably! but i would like grass!
Gamexplain says this is 100% likely to be a remake but not a sequel. What do you guys think? I think it’s not a sequel or remake but a new story that takes place in Hoenn (I guess that makes it a sequel).
Definitely remakes.
noooo! SEQUELS SEQUELS SEQUELS!!
I think they would be literally “Ruby 2” and “Sapphire 2” if they were sequels. They are pulling the Fire/Leaf and Heart/Soul thing again.
:…( better be a different story and not brandon/ may
I personally feel it’ll be new games set in Hoenn.Continuing XY story. Same towns and the things that made people love Gen 3, but with a new plot and added perks, mega’s etc
Agreed.
They must be psychic to be able to know that by just looking at a picture of Kyogre and Groudon.
LOL xD
May not be sequels? Meh. I never played Hoenn anyway, but I would have preferred Sequels.
I still think “Holds Hands” will be given to Mega Plusle/Minun, reintroducing Double Battle’s in a big way.
Original Plusle/Minun introduced double battles with “Helping Hand”.
and did helping hands actually help during battle?
rotlmfmfmfoaoaoao. Helping Hand actually does help though
i thought it was only to make minim/ plusle look cute ( waste of turn)
So, I just came by to say that from the list that was trademarked only these are not real so far! And I hope they become real!
http://24.media.tumblr.com/72ae9f8416ab56004232b77fd2d366ba/tumblr_mwl77pQh4E1r8sc3ro1_400.png
Where’s Swampert?
I don’t know but in the trademark list there was no Swampert and that is strange because two Hoenn starters with Mega Evolutions and the third not
This is the list that I always refer too. Apparently they could have trademarked more that we don’t know about because we know Zygarde will get one. And it’ll make sense for the left out Swampert to get one.
you are the one that offered help if I buy the 2DS because it was robbed right? 😀
Thank you! Guys like you are what make the Pokémon fandom great!
I want to see Mega Scpetile!
#MegaRayquazaFTW
Are you guys still talking about the games?
If we weren’t, it would be spam 😉
iz not the saem 🙁
ya bahd… well sort of… you know pokejungle, we’re remaining on topic while being off topic
Is your username still UmbreonLifts?
on chat, no it’s penetratorUmbreon
for the next 6 months we will. get ready!
I should clarify, I don’t think that remake means carbon 3D copy. We’ll definitely see some new elements.
not sure if it was intentional but..
carbon, elements…
It wasn’t intentional, but I wish it was.
Hey Xatu!
You’re late….. Gracie left…………….
…
*walks out* XD
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING DAY OF MY ENTIRE LIFE OMFG I AM LITERALLY SHAKING THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE <3 <3 <3

😀
DONT WORRY DICIE! I will save you like pikachu did do denndende in the anime!
This was the best conversation of my day. Asked this Pokemon fan girl if she heard the Pokemon news, she said no, I said “Hoenn confirmed” and she screamed “YES!!!!!!!!”
