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 went away for like 5 mins. Where did all these commenters come from? It was only me and like 2 other people before!
I believe school is letting out.
On East Coast it should be.
I thought you guys, down below said you were from Europe and stuff where it’s like 10pm?
Not me, im from Ohio
Oh, hi, oh 😛
I’m from europe XD
Welcome to Pokejungle
I’m usually always around, but I don’t comment. I’ve been watching you. Naughty naughty.
School!
Who do you think will be the Champion? In RS it was Steven with Wallace as Gym Leader, but Emerald, the updated version has it reversed.
Steven
Blue
Steven! He was harder than Wallace!
And actually use all steel types
For Wallace all you need is Electric or Grass Type and you could sweep him!
I’d like Steven too, but I don’t really mind Wallace.
Sooooo hard lol.
Steven. I don’t think they would change it to Wallace since it is a R/S remake with advanced features (some from Emerald i assume).
Me too, it’d make sense
Im sure all of R/S features will be retained or enhanced. Its likely that everything Emerald introduced will also be added such as the Battle Frontier and that new areas will be added similar to the sevii islands and new johto safari zone and surrounding routes. I vote for a nice trip in the Mossdeep space shuttle up to space to battle Deoxys :DD
That would be great 😀
@NLque:disqus Maybe next time you should use GMT. xD
I don’t think people know that either 😛
Lol, it’s the best standard to prevent confusion though. xDD Make everyone memorize the conversion from GMT to their time. 😛
I wonder if they’ll keep Pokemon-amie and super training? I hope they do because, this is a bit awkward to say but I only learnt how to ev train after I was half-way through X so I never really had strong pokemon.
Same here, plus I love playing with my pokemon in amie.
They highly will! I want to see the PokeNav on the bottom screen. They shold integrate it into the PokeNav!
Maybe instead of the PSS since Clemont was the one who invented that?
Pokémon R/S happened before X/Y! So, the PokeNav would still be their!
They should have ALL OF IT INCORPORATED INTO SECRET BASES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GAMEFREAK YOU BETTER BE LISTENING!!!!!!!!!!!
THE GRASSY PLACE WHERE U PLAY WITH YOUR POKEMON SHOULD BE A SPECIAL OBJECT CALLED THE UHHH AMIE MAT AND U CAN STILL PLAY BUT U CAN USE POKEBLOCK IN PLACE OF POKEPUFFS THAT CAN WORK WITH CONTEST APPEAL
NRAARARARARAGAGAGAGG
*Blood Red Eyes*
Foaming at the mouth clearly deranged
I’m scared now.
Your just feeling that now?
I’m legally psychotic
Are you left-handed by chance?
No, I am a Righty
But a Lefty in other circumstances
*stabs eyes out after reading
Why u do that
you know >_<
hehehehheh
Need some Sandpaper and Vaseline?
When will Pokémon GetTV air? Is it going to be on Saturday?
To make it easier, it’s at 10:30 GMT on Saturday. It’s easy to convert from there.
am or pm?
PM
I’ll be leaving to the Airport in an hour…
See you guys on May 10th in America! 😀
Where you going
D: what about the development of our game? Do you want me to do stuff while your away?
I was only gone one day Tho….
And wyves… What do u want named after you in our game?
I have an island named after me, Frostbyte has a glacier, what abt u?
Your flight is 2 days long?!
Nah. It’s one….
You guys remember in one of the towns, behind the pokemon centre there was a hot springs with old ladies in it? I can’t wait for that, in 3D!!
Good Old Lavaridge
What happens in Lavaridge
STAYS in Lavaridge
The hot springs can wait…I just want to see 3D flannary….
or 3D Wattson 😀
i can see his stomach poking out now XD
http://i.imgur.com/fs4Teok.jpg
OMG! She’s one of the old ladies :O
just got back from pre-ordering both games at Gamestop…the manager there looked them up and told me that they retail for $100 each..I’m hoping that’s a filler until they get the lower price revealed haha
It’s a priceholder until the real price comes out I think.
Holy shite! I just realised something about gen 3! It’s the home of……….CASTFORM!! I’m gonna change my avatar to him instead!
AND The Weather Institute!! I bet they do something with the Kami trio… since it’s fitting that they manipulate the weather like Kyogre/Groudon.

It feels so empty without the comment section flying like yesterday.
For a second I thought there was a new article up and everyone had gone there.
Yeah, i know the feeling
Most are on chat
I can’t find the chat bubble…
Here you go: pokejungle.net/chat
What exactly do they chat about on that that they can’t chat about here?
Maybe its just so the server doesn’t overload like it did last year? I think that’s what happened when Megas were revealed, right?
Oh yeah. So how does one get into this chat?
Here it is: pokejungle.net/chat
But you have to sign up? ugh
The chat was not as fun as I thought it would be…
IKR XD I was watching you say hi but everyone else was arguing over something.
Yeah stuff happens but it’s ok most of the times XD
I don’t even know what it was. I felt like I had just walked into a philosophical argument!
They better release screen shots for ORAS in corocoro because the box art covers don’t excite me anymore 🙁
Actually I think just looking at the box art is exciting. It’s making me think of how might the story be different for the remakes. I mean its obvious to us all that they aren’t the Kyogre and Groudon we all know and love, but I also don’t think they are mega evolutions. I am hoping for screenshots from CoroCoro, and I can’t wait until Saturday’s Get TV!!!!
You’re right. They don’t look like mega forms. They look more like powered-up forms like super saiyan or something.
Exactly!!! I know they vary from the story too much, but maybe the plot could be about how Team Aqua/Magma interrogated the elderly couple on Mt. Pyre for more information. As the couple does guard the orbs, I’m sure they know something about these new forms!
Just found out the games could be coming out November 22 (saturday, like XY did). Ruby & Sapphire originally released in Japan on November 21st 0_0 !!!
Percy…. That’s my birthdate…. Don’t mess with me like this D:
Congrats. You get a great birthday gift this year.
My birthday is on Thanksgiving this year, the 28th.
OMG MY BIRTHDAY LAST YEAR WAS ON THANKSGIVING LMAOOO
CONGRATS! 😀
Oops, not last year, the year before that xDD
lmao I was about to say.. what my birthday was on thanksgiving last year too!!!
Nice! xDD
HeavyMetalFairy’s name is Percy?!
Yup. And there i someone else here named PercyEspeon lol.
But she said that’s her alias.
That’s me! 😀 But my name isn’t actually Percy…so yeah xD
I can just go by Jamie, but that’s just too weird…. JamieEspeon…
I like PercyEspeon better =)
Exactly, it flows. :3 Plus, I’m just too used to it xD
Whoa!!! That’s awesome! What a throwback!
where did you find that out?
was thirsty for information.. and had a random thought… “when did ruby & sapphire come out”… so I googled their release dates and saw it said Nov 21, 2002.
Since new games now release on saturdays (nov 21 is a friday) I’m expecting ORAS to get released on the 22nd this year. That saturday after the 12th anniversary.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooh
It would make sense; RS would have it’s anniversary on the 20th.
It promises new footage huh..? I hope you’re talking about ORAS footage there, @NLque:disqus xD
There was a picture earlier of them reacting to the reveal. I just don’t know where.
I NEED TO SEE THIS D:
Thank you for letting me know ^_^
Welcome. Anytime
keep scrolling down. it’s not too far down. I just scrolled down to see it myself. And apparently the txt says “new gameplay footage, world premier!” YUSSS
Will ORAS be anyone’s 1st nostalgic pokemon game? Like while playing it you remember playing the original. It kinda will be for me because even though my 1st game was gold, I was too young to remember what the hell I was doing.
It will for me.
Yes. Emerald was the first game I really remember, other than Yellow, and one I played through a lot. I got trainers memorized, that’s how bad it is.
Anyways, it has a special place in my heart (2nd place to Sinnoh)
My first was Sapphire, so I’ll love this. The music, the towns… *sighs* Also, my cousin said he MIGHT get a 3DS, so I hope he does, cause his first was Ruby, so we can duke Iit out and play our first pokemon games, but better.
I won’t be on for a while. I’m Moving today, and my flight’s 29 hours long, or something. Anyway, I hope that by the time I get to my apartment, there’s some news!
Awe, gonna miss ya 🙁 when you return there will definitely be more news. Hope to see ya soon!!
29 hours?! What’s the flight? Australia to somewhere else?
India to Chicago. 3 different flights.
Ooh India. I’m indian.
It was Chennai to Chicago
I hope Mega Sceptile gets No Guard… that way, it’d be the fastest Pokemon to induce someone with sleep (by “Grasswhistle”) and not only will it never miss, but it can also hit grass Poke’s 0_0
Tough Claws
everyone’s fanboy dream is tough claws sceptile, sap sipper swampert, … it gets tired lol. I’m trying to think of more original ways they could be better.
Good Point
What if it gets some Normal to Grass Ability Cholorate

party!!!!!!!!!
Dae be gettin Megas!
Nope,
Only one Mega Per Team
Ummm multis. And they were on the copyright list.
this!
That’s my point
Plusle and Minum’s sole purpose what to promote Double Battles and be the Regions Electric Rodent
doesn’t mean they can’t mega evolve.
every poke has its purpose/niche.
by the way, I swept someone online with a Minun and have the battle video saved. & he wasn’t even a noob lol.
I can imagine them both getting a Purple mega, similar to Latios/Latias.
Can you guys help me with deciding the last member of my team? My team so far for Alpha Sapphire is: Sceptile, Claydol, Milotic, Armaldo, and camerupt. I’m having trouble deciding between swallow, skarmory or salamence. Reasons why would be appreciated also.
Salamence.
It’s a dragon.
(Seriously, do not listen to me, I have no idea how to help you either)
Actually, you just reminded me that dragon types are known for their diverse movesets. I only used salamence in xd, but I didn’t really get to level it up and give it a good moveset. I’ll see what other people think too though.
Yeah, and I think Salamence is just awesome. I use one for Y and it was incredible.
Swallow – you can get it early on and so train it more
Skarmory – weak to fire but since you chose Sapphire that shouldn’t be a problem
Salamence – wide move pool, being a dragon. Although there’s the fairies.
I’m predicting Wallace will be the 8th Gym Leader and Steven will be the Champion. And after beating the game I predict Wallace to then become the Champion for all future visits to the Elite 4, Steven becomes the Super Boss, and when you re-match Gym Leaders, Juan takes Wallace’s place.
That’s a good idea, it would be the first time we have two official Champions of their region in a game.
Either that or the Double Battle idea XD
Can we make this happen gamefreak? And nice new avi TC.
Thank you 🙂 Credit to Jordin of course xD
Geeze he’s good. When Mega Swampert is announced I might one from him. If he lets me xD
What if the 8th gym is a double battle against Wallace AND Juan! :0
NOOOOO!!! The horror!!! XD
But they’re just so FABULOUS!
What if the 8th gym is the players mother? Both parents are gym leaders :O
These are remakes, though. I don’t think they would remove the most fabulous gym leader ever.
I know, I was telling him that it won’t happen.
It IS called a REMAKE.
I wonder what fairy types will be in the game? you know game freak isnt going to forget the new typing mechanism
Most likely Gardevoir and Mawile with others in the after-game.
Marill was capturable as soon as you get to the grass before Petalburg Forest, so thats an early water/fairy. Sylveon as well since we’ll be getting an Eevee.
Ralts was one route earlier
Yup. And Mawile. I just didn’t want to say them since ProsecutorZero beat me to it lol.
I’ve decided that my final team member for Alpha sapphire is… Skarmory. I was going to go with salamence, but I was brought up a good point. Fairies! I completely forgot about fairy type pokemon and I need type coverage against them!
On to planning for Omega Ruby… *sigh*
isnt dragon weak to fairies ?
that’s why I went with skarmory
i thought skarmony was a dragon….
No that’s Altaria

It was me right? I changed your mind with my awesome analysis comment 😀
Yes, Yes you were!
