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.
<3 PJ
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 can’t wait for the updated graphics! 😀
You came back 😀
I can’t be happy without my Russian stripper 😉
I was called a Russian stripper at school a few days after you left. I thought you’d like to know 😉
Did you give that person a dance for me? 😉
I tried to twerk. I just got no booty. ;~;
And no more lag! 😀
I hope they don’t pull FireRed/LeafGreen bs and make you unable to trade to X and Y and back.
LOL xD. I kind of want them to but only because then we can change game mechanic/base stats/typing etc.
I will bomb Pluto if that happens! 5/6 of my party members will be traded to OR!!!!
Will Mawile, Sableye, Zangoose, and Seviper become version exclusive pokémon again? If so, then chose wisely what version to pick my friends.
Still sapphire xD
Me too no matter what
And I’m confident that Sableye will get SOMETHING.
ANYTHING.
No doubt in mind
I will always choose Ruby.
Are people really saying GameFreak is running out of names? “Hmm… Pokemon Omega Ruby. Well, is Nintendo running out of name ideas, because there was a pokemon hack called Pokemon Omega… and it was a hack of Pokemon Ruby. Hmm…” – some dum dum on youtube
Well tbh nintendo already made a game called ruby sooooo they’re definitely running out of names, I mean seriously they just released it like 10 years ago! XD
Guys try this: Say out loud “Hoenn is confirmed”. Then, comment if you can believe it or not. xD I can’t, lol.
Still getting used to it.
These games will be amazing!!! 😀
Pero liek, I’m so happi!!
I can’t after YEARS of speculating, its here…
i cant…
Alpha and Omega both mean “the beginning” and “the end” respectively. Maybe this “explore a whole new world” thing alludes to one game being a prequel, one game being in the future?
I thought the same thing, but then I disregarded it as stupid. xD
10000x YES!!!!! Prequel…..what if the “war” was actually THIS WAR…..between Kyogre and Groudon :OOOOOO
My hype hasn’t died down. I’ve been immersing myself into that line “explore a whole new world”… I just can’t sit right with it. They are on to something really big. And all this Greek history etc… I never been more hype for a Poke game.
You and me both XD I feel it’s literally going to be a NEW WORLD (i.e. Not Hoenn or a very different Hoenn) But people will think I’m crazy xD and that it can never be anything but a sequel/remake. XD
lmao dude you have me hype!!!
Groudon in the past because in the beginning they say earth was like fire and rock the red plant and stuff!
true. you know Pokemon logic though
The earth started off as a ball of molten lava which hardened (or something like that).
The end of the world was said to be the great flood….
The only problem; it’s the wrong way around :/
yeah, you know Pokemon likes to twist things around lol. But it could possibly be referencing the beginning of the war, and the end of it.
What if its the aftermath if team aqua/magma succeded and one game would be almost entirely land, and the other almost entirely water/underwater with islands
So one like a desert one like tropical islands
i would love that 0_0
I just hope if it’s a sequel that the new plot won’t suck. I mean, I’m afraid of X and Y repeating itself :,(
I liked X and Y’s plot 🙁
The team flare plot was SOOO rushed though. :,(
Idk it wasn’t as good as BW but it felt like any other gen’s story (But a bit darker)
There is no beating hoenn’s team plot though! SO many admins and turning points! 😀
Seriously? Yeah I guess they had admins but so did team galactic, but turning points? BW had a much more fleshed out plotline with characters like N
Ruby and Sapphire’s plot made a lot of sense, and it had you running all over the place, which is actually accurate. I don’t understand why the enemies would follow you around… and B/W had a good plot but I have to say, I enjoyed Hoenn’s the most. There were A lot of encounters, and the encounters were fun and they had an effect on the plot! 😀
Yeah to each their own I guess 😀
If i had to rate the plots it would go
BW
XY
RBY/GSC
DPP/RSE
Every one can have an opinion! 😀
fpr me it’s
R/S/E
B/W
G/S/C
R/B/Y
D/P/P
X/Y
Hmmmm
RSE
IDK.
This basically sums up Groudon v.s Kyogre. *refresh*

Hey TC! Bye bye butter bird it looks like it.
Hello! With the announcement of Hoenn I had to switch to my first Pokemon avatar 😀
Nice AVI!
Thanks! Jordin made it for me a long time ago 🙂
Yea! I did too as you can see. I’m now the Gentleman of Hoenn!
I’m gonna have to get used to that Sceptile avatar. Sceptile is too popular here. ;_;
Sceptile a.k.a. Greninja of Hoenn XD
lel but 4 reel sceptile > greninja
This one made me laugh hahaha
I’m going to miss the “Hoenn Confirmed” memes. :'(
don’t worry.. there will be a flood of Sinnoh confirmed ones coming once Oras dies down lol
:'( three characters
Ruby, emerald, and saphirre three games!
Heonn Confirmed!
So assuming Mega Latios/Latias were meant for Omega Ruby and Alpha Saphire, why aren’t the other megas meant for the remakes in X and Y’s data?
lots of reasons. time constraint? rushing? knew hackers would spoil? could be anything.
I’ve always wondered why kalos introduced fairy type but didn’t release fairy gem. so odd.
Yeah they’re going to have to release a huge update for X and Y when the remakes come out
If they were worried about hackers you would’ve thought they would leave out all event pokemon/event mega evolutions
I was just thinking about that. The patch update would have to be huge. They probably won’t do it and will have us use Bank to transfer poke’s.
EDIT: nevermind, i’m expecting a patch because I know XY players will be disappointed if they can’t battle Oras players
Yeah cause then it would just be like generation 7 instead of a continuation of generation 6
cuz all generations have been compatible with other games from the same generation
most likely they didn’t expect hackers for the 3ds, the 3ds isn’t exactly easy to hack and and when it has been hack not much has been done with it, so they probably felt a little confident but they underestimated pokemon fansi guess lol
I more meant either they would have put all the megas planned for ruby and saphirre in x and y or none of them, not just two
What if ORAS will be Vrtual Exclusive (no more Physical Copies)? That means there will be no more hacking. :'(
Hacking will still happen. People have already cracked into their Nintendo 3DS’s and can get a hold of digital save files.
No! I love my #PhysicalFTW
Why would they do that? They shows the boxes.
Oh yeah.
xD It’s okay.
This is totally seems like a remake and not a sequel based on the wording from the press release on Pokemon.com. I was so nervous because I thought it was a sequel. If it was, it would still be good but I think RS will benefit more from a remake.
What do you guys think? Remake? Sequel? Or a little bit of both?
The debate of ages…
Sequel! 😀
Why else would they change kyogre and groudon’s looks? 😛
They look almost the same other than the glowing.
Not at all! look at then side by side.
Why would they make them glow if there was no plot significance? xD
thats how they will glow when the orb are nearby:o
They also change their looks a little too! 😀
But who knows? Only Nintendo and Game Freak.
knew you would be resurrected
Sequel in order to incorporate new mechanics like mega evolutions, and a sequel would allow them to update the region more 😀
revisit..
the trailer says “an epic new adventure”… experiencing the old storyline wouldn’t be epic or new.
“a brand new world” update confirmed.
Yeah, I think Hoenn has changed over time and it’s also reimagined in 3D models, so I think not exactly sequels but kind of like GS to RB. based on “brand new world”.
Well, you have to think about fans that weren’t even born in 2003 that are now 10-11 years old. And the statement on their website has me pretty convinced they are remakes. However, I do think that they will have several things that stray from the original. Physical/Special split, Fairy types, etc., and new Mega Evolutions.
MEGA ARMALDO
MEGA CRADILY
Snow Warning Amaura, Rock Head Tyrunt.
Adaptability Skrelp
as well as HA legendary birds, HA Regi’s, HA Heatran, HA crowne beasts, and HA johto starters lol.
LOL. I didn’t know the Regis had HAs!
lmao yep!!!!! Sturdy Regirock, Ice Body Regice, and Light Metal Registeel. Much better than Clear Body
Prehistoric Ruby and Sapphire….I want it but….it will probably be a sequel :/
I’m expecting one of the games to be prehistoric tbh. XY allows you trade illegal mons to other players online like “Moon ball noibat”, “fast ball torchic”, this means apricorn’s will be making a return so we can catch HA pokes in them. Lady in Azalea pokecenter says “before pokeballs were invented, trainers would use apricorns to catch their Pokemon”. I definitely feel a prequel. “A whole new world” implies this.
If gamefreak does that, this will be the most creative pokemon game ever! xD
i calling remakes instead of sequels
I’m not alone! Yay! 😀
I just read a Djja comment. Once you visit this site, you can never leave. It’s a curse, I tell you! A prophecy from the great Jungle Book.
lol It’s my native region it wouldn’t make any sense if I wasn’t here xD
(refresh)
Should’ve seen this coming. XD
I can’t enter here without a good pun.
xD Yep!
hey…
Finally. We can safely, and officially say HERNN CONFIRMED.
It’s a dream come true.
So, I have a theory.
If you look closely at Kyogre and Groudon, you can see an alpha and omega-like symbol on each one of them.
I believe that Pokemon Omega Ruby will be introducing Omega Formes of Pokemon, whereas Alpha Sapphire will be introducing Alpha Formes of Pokemon.
Either that or they are just megas, XD.
We already covered that Sparky
Sorry, but my thoughts, whether same or not, matter too. 🙂
too much confusion with all these “form titles”…. we’ll have regular evolutions, regular form changes, megas, alphas, omegas… I don’t see it happening. Title them Mega’s and call it a day lol
Yeah, but just a thought and an observation. I doubt it anyways. 🙂
Hmph. I don’t feel like GF would make Pkmn this complex tho. Especially right after megas.

I love how slateport looks
😀 Wow… OMG I LOVE THIS 😀 … It looks somewhat like a boat. SOMEWHAT.
What is this?
Hoenn on Minecraft.
Knew it. Just wanted to verify.
Yeah, I was confused at first, then amazed.
Yin and yang
I kinda feel like playing Mario Kart 64 or Bomberman Hero on the Good Ol’ N64
But i’m too lazy to set it up
-23 for MK8 DOG
Say what now?
sorry if you got offended with dog, where i live we call friends like that:(
So glad to have everyone back on PJ :]
I was in my second period class at school when i saw the news on my phone. When i told my friends, they really didnt believe me until i showed them the pictures. I cant wait to get my hands on Alpha Sapphire!!!
I literally squealed in my english honors class and everyone was all like “dude WTF?”
Luckily i was in gym and it was already pretty loud.
I think that the Red and Blue orbs will act as megastones in the games.Mega Groudon and Kyogre mega evolve into their Ancient forms (what they looked like in the ancient times, not new forms), hence the new symbols on their bodies.
Come on Gamefreak….take risks….don’t make it obvious xD
game freak? risks?
PFFFFFT what a bunch poppycock
I mean the orbs were created back in that time to control them, so what if that tooks away some of their base stats? So when they mega evolve, they’re as powerful as they were back in ancient times as well as how they originally looked. 😮
I know! I love your idea more than mega evolutions that’s why I wanted gamefreak to take risks and not make it obvious xD
Thanks! :3
Why I call sequels-
“An epic ~~~NEWWWW adventure”
last time I checked New didn’t mean “Returning”
I don’t want sequels! *pouts*
Its called advertising
Flase advertising makes me cry.
*False
new= 3D Models
It’s the ADVENTURE that’s new, or the plot.
old aventures but in NEW 3D MODELS
Ok but last time I checked it read ” New adventure”
but I think where it says ” New world” It’s talking about the graphics. And also, Kyogre and Groudon have different looks.
meh i calling remakes after seeing gamexplain discussion:3, but i will love sequels or remakes
How does gameXplain already have a vid? XD
All they have to do is loop the trailer and talk over it.
is a discussion video not a analysis lol
I’ve never played Hoenn. Sooooo…yeah…
All you need to know:
It was fun
No. It was beautiful.
So I’ve heard. Also, I’ve seen Chuggaaconroy’s Emerald Let’s Play, so I have an idea of what it’s like.
You should go back and watch the Ruby and sapphire LPs too! 😀
He doesn’t have them.
Anything will do! 😀
…
GET ON DAT SHIZ MAN
But…but no physical/special split, fairies, megas, character customization, or bench sitting.
there is beauty in minimalism..
AND TRUMPETS
