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 just listened to the sinnoh gym leader music…
it’s…
subpar…
And then I listened to Unova’s and then I was happy :3
is my second favorite after johto..
Silly carbinkle. You know opinions aren’t allowed.
Jk :3
Different people have different tastes! 😀
And they’re all terrible! :0 No jk. Only some.
it’s…
suparb?
no
Sub-par
Meaning I don’t like IMO
I no jk sheeze xD
*Kalos gym leader music
The beginning is the only good part. The rest was bleck
Anyone here miss douchebag rivals? Do you think they’ll ever bring them back?
Wally was just asking for it.
So I have to feel sorry for him all over again? Greeeeeaaaat….
not in hoenn remakes
I was hoping they wouldn’t be remakes because of this.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
They all are. interrupting me with battles.
Cheren was a douchebag rival… at first. 🙂
(Hugh is kind of an idiot rival though.)
Cheren appeared in gen 5, so maybe in gen 8 we’ll see another one.
hugh was lam, ‘”give purrlion back give purllion give purrlin”-hugh personality
All the time
Honestly it makes me sick that my rivals are super nice to me, and want me to prosper together
Ugggghhh
I miss the days where their harsh words and cocky attitude fueled your crusade to be the greatest
I felt BAD whenever I beat Serena ;~;
^^This. I really want to go easy and let her win, but the game won’t let me. :'(
#IDon’tFeelFreeInTheseGames
May was the perfect balance, like she was in the anime! 😀
Let’s hope that our opposite gendered protagonists’ final battles will give them a fully evolved starter…AND MEGA EVOLVE!!!!
This is why I kind of wanted a sequel XD
There’s still hope.
I want a rival to be a champion again. If its a friendly one it kinda makes it more epic in a way 😛
You know, the fact that these are remakes is sorta concerning, as we will see little change in the gameplay itself.
Well pokemon isn’t know for it’s ever changing gameplay.
But do we really want to play Hoenn, just with 3D aspects and worlds?
No new sort of gyms, trainers, plot…
Hordes of Zigzagoon. Hordes of Tentacool.
I was really hoping for sequels. I kinda wish I didn’t know Emerald’s story because I kinda get Ruby and Sapphire’s Stories.
So hoping as well. Oh well, I was okay with anything.
In the end, the game could be formed in such a way that they are sequels.
I’m kind of happy since R/S/E had the best plot IMO and I was scared they would ruin it XD
I liked Sinnoh’s, but the gen 4 games kinda sucked otherwise.
I feel like they’ll completely mess up the water routes and UP the gyms.
Noooooooooooooo
But, but, D:
Oh well. In my dreams there would be a new story.
Having played both Firered and Heartgold, there is NO difference in the storyline whatsoever.
Sure, the game looks better, but is that all we really play for? To experience the same thing for only better graphics and a few ingame changes that do absolutely nothing to the plot, or the intensity of the game?
There’s a reason I didn’t buy FRLG and HGSS… even if I’ve never played the original games.
For ORAS, I’d make an exception…
I would buy ORAS since Pokemon, I feel, has expanded over time. The storylines are better, and more intense…
yeah, I mean, it’s nice for people who haven’t played it (like myself), but Hoenn was the one I know the most of.
Like, I know almost every Trainer in that game from replaying it so much (I was alone in the Pokemon world at that age….bad times. That’s kinda why I never got to experience secret bases….stupid social aspect!)
I need something new than just graphics.
How about…. Secret bases. Over. The. Internet.
Now, like Link, you can reclaim part of the childhood that you lost… 🙂
Now I know more people outside of the Internet in Pokemon. Not a lot but still.
And I also have Pokejungle, so I’m pretty sure I am not alone anymore.
😀
I know 3 people who like Pokemon. 2 of which I just found out .-.
Around the same with me. Hopefully, when I get to college, I’ll find tons.
I’m hoping. :3
Oh, to answer your question from yesterday, I do like Warriors. But, I’m also known as Archeops127/Archie, if you remember me xD Sorry for being so late to replying.. My internet went down right before I posted the comment >.<
No problem 😀
And I totally remember you! 😀 😀
Warriors yeeeahhh
That’s about one of the only two reasons I didnt want a remake. With Mega Groudon /Kyogre, it’ll be harder to do.
Honestly, it all depends on how Gamefreak decides to put it together. These could have some drastic plot changes, but it’s highly unlikely.
I hope they do.
I hope it does. Spice things up a little.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY3918r6-i8&list=PLDF7ADDCB1EA8BA5F If a remix of this doesn’t show up when you awaken Alpha Kyogre/ Omega Groudon, I’ll be mad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlVV44BA968
lol
When they say “Full Remake” It concerns me because it isn’t “Full” if groudon and kyogre get megas,
There are some small changes. Its still a full remake.
Mega /=/ small XD
^^^^ but it’s this: =/=
u get da point 😉
No more rainbow, friendly champion music. we need some epic music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsXw3TlunSs
Check out the one i just posted 😮
Just bring back Cynthia. What’s that? She’s the Champion of Sinnioh? F*** IT!!!! Make her the Champion of another region!!!!
Steven x Cynthia they are literally meant for each other.
:3 They gotta meet in the remakes.
And they have a tag battle against you!!! :3
Then they’d be all cool after they lose 8)
YEEEEEEESS! YES YES YES! *brain explodes due to excitement*
a lo cynthia
The last two sucked though 😛
last two what? iris theme was amazing, maybe wasnt epic but i loved it alders in the other hand and dianthas:(
I liked it, but too, weird and rainbowish to me 😛
Like Cynthia music.
I hope the team leader theme sounds like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZRfKqLlw0s
Pokemon fans: Asking for Hoenn remake for years….
…remake is officially announced and people complain it’s going to be boring or not different enough.
IT WONT BE BORING
Sonic Fans: say game is going to be the best
…. game comes out and they complain.
At first, things are exciting.
As more things get announced, and you really think about what’s been announced, you realize that it isn’t as exciting as you think.
Omfg yes. Some are saying R/S/E aren’t outdated enough to be remade, even after the announcement.
R/S/E really needed to be updated. The music was good but GBA limitations held it back.
The cutscenes especially. God I need them to be good.
Hehehe those guys are crazy. 10 years! And it was on a system that’s not being sold anymore. Not outdated enough? 😀
I’m not 10! hahaha I got away with it!
just kidding, I never said a thang about being outdated.
And new types and Pokemon!
*A day after the announcement*
Remind people that Hoenn is Confirmed and no one bats an eye.
Tell them that they’re full remakes with the chance of having the same story, and everyone loses they’re minds!
What’s so bad about the same story? Honestly, isn’t one of the reasons people wanted R/S/E remade for the story to be remade with better graphics? Not disagreeing with you, just adding to the point
I don’t care if it gets repetitive and will make no sense. JUST BRING BACK CYNTHIA FOREVER!!!!!
#CynthiaTakeover
CYNTHIA IS LOVE CYNTHIA IS LIFE
Replace Shrek with Cynthia? oh god XD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNFx28NGLfI
I got my friend obsessed with that video. Did I show it to you, Djja? :3
what did I just watch?
Shrek gets Spooked. Aka the best video ever made.
I… sadly don’t agree with you.
no.
Cynthia is love, Cynthia is life. I…
I won’t go on.
Maybe in the remakes of gen 4, I will squeal like my 8 year old self again if that does happen.
Cynthia in 3D!
This is good for many, many reasons!
Possibly jiggling mechanics?
I like the way you think Lion. :3
Cynthia for Dead or Alive Volleyball 3!
Hehehehe WHAT?
Emerald’s story is just like Ruby’s + Sapphire’s mashed up where both teams are villainous (instead of one being nice).
So… what kind of villain team story will they use for ORAS? (One evil depending on v ersion, or both evil?)
I’m gonna go with one evil. But that’s just me.
I hope both. because if not I’ll just play emerald again.
I hope both, but probably only one.
They’ll introduce Team Sky or whatever, and their goal is to eliminate both land and water. And depends on your game version, Team Magma/Aqua will invoke Kyogre/Groudon to stop Rayquaza!
….
Maybe.
:/ Dang it Dicie, your cleverness made me realize: I never played Gen 2, so HGSS was new to me. But I’ve played Gen 3, so I wonder if it’ll be boring… Hmph. *sighs* Anyways, imma love it.
Okay, I guess. XD
I played Pokemon Blue for a little, and played Gold until the finish I think. Sapphire was too long ago to remember the details.
I honestly don’t believe them one bit when they say “Full Remake”. Ummm like…. if they have megas, that would OBVIOUSLY affect the story. Like do dey just mega 4 no reason like umm gurl no.
What if you obtain the Mega Ring after the story? D:
Why would they put new forms on the box covers?
They obvioulsy would do it in the story then.
Now you’re assuming they’re Megas. We don’t know that for sure. 😮
You can’t get Black/White Kyurem until after you beat B2W2. So there’s that to consider.
You can’t GET them, but they’re still in the story.
we don’t even know if they’re Megas or not. and it wouldn’t even effect the game that much.
How?
archie: lol kyogre u can mega now btw
kyogre: lol cool
On with the story~
That’s basically it. maybe give Alpha Kyogre an ability like drizzle from gens 3-5?
I think they won’t be 100% the same.
And I think that’s okay. If they pull a HG/SS and add more to the core story, like with the Kimono Girls, and maybe even the Giovanni event, it’ll work.
Think of it this way, the claimed a “full remake” for Hg/SS, oh and it was actually very different 😀
<3 OMG thx for this reasuredness 😀
majORAS mask, ZELDA / POKEMON CROSSOVER CUNFURMED
yORAS looks fineee (LOL)
Das a majOR AS!
These are terrible sorry XD
(refresh)
http://m.memegen.com/no5zh8.jpg
And this is why drugs are bad. RIP Jordin.
Drugs are terrible NO D:
Have you been snorting that Let It Go “snow”?
HE’S A BIT OF A SNIFFER UPPER!
HiS BRAIN’S A BIT BETWIXTED!
This made me LMAO XD
NO! D: I don’t do drugs. They are so stupid and pointless and just a huge waste of money. I don’t need drugs to make myself feel better. And to be perfectly honest, I don’t have that much respect for people who do drugs 😐
Drugs are bad, m’kay.
I was kidding bby. 😡 Don’t be so serious. xD
I know you were 😛 But just letting that be known XD
Dear god I thought Rayquaza was taking a dump in your profile picture. Anyways, nice puns 😛
While Cynthia is on our minds (when is she not?), I’ve got a question:
WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST WERE XY THINKING OF NOT BRINGING CYNTHIA BACK?!?!?!
Because then she would overshadow Diantha. D:
every champion overshadows Diantha well except Iris but, yeah.
LOL
IDK. I kinda like Iris more than Diantha. At least Iris was a threat. XD
Diantha appears more than once tho. SHE APPEARS TWICE!
But was she difficult to beat?
It’s the fault of the Exp. Share…
Anyway, IMO, Siebold was harder than Diantha.
Starmie outsped EVERYTHING
I heard that even w/o the Broken EXP. Share, she was still easy to beat.
I know. I am the one who never uses the EXP share. And she is easy. The whole league is easy (Then again, I do train levels to 65, but still she has a 68)
Overshadow?
You mean, in terms of height?
🙂
She’s wearing heels though. Cynthia does to IIRC, but I’m sure she’s still taller than Diantha.
In terms of everything, really.
alders sucks more, he isnt even the champion when you fight the league for the first time
at least he has plot significance.
Diantha was boring D:
Honestly, with Mega Garchomp and Fairy Togekiss, I was expecting her in the game.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfhN1ivjS6U cynthia lovers will love this
Thank you! HAIL CYNTHIA!!!
Can’t wait for the complaining when the games come out,”It follows too close to the originals/ doesn’t live up to the hype.” Don’t expect too much!
It’s a remake for a reason ya know?
Still. I see people saying more mega’s, new game mode, stuff like that. I really don’t find the need for mega evolutions….especially in Hoenn.
I doubt anythings gonna change besides maybe a psuedo region like in FR/LG
So you are doubting they wont do what they did in HG/SS 😀
HG/ SS didn’t really change much. :/
Yeah it did, let me explain. They added Facilities and more specifically the battle frontier and the pokeatheon, they added 2 new routes and many different features
Those mostly weren’t required though..
They added following pokemon and the involvement of the kimono sisters
that’s to be expected though. FR/LG did it. :/
FR/LG didn’t do that :S
Those following Pokemon weren’t required to be used. The Kimono sisters are the only things related to the original games that are now required and new in a way.
None of it were required, they could of just done a copy paste with better graphics
It didn’t change much to the main game, is what we are trying to say. Of course they didn’t do a copy/paste with better graphics, but it didn’t add anything new for a Pokemon game or to change up the original game. It added more features, but those weren’t completely game changing and were forgotten in the next game :S
didn’t really make me love gen 2 then I already did.
I am hoping they do what they did with HG/SS, They kept all the nice stuff and added some AMAZING THINGS (and freaking removed the casino (stupid mothers who worry about gambling)), Pokemon following, Pokeatheon the kimono sisters (and their new involvement with the plot) and the frontier.
I wuv your username.
Its my youtuber username as well ^-^!
And they need to somehow incorporate new forms.
They have a lot of things we didn’t get to see in the original! and BAM!!! we got an amazing game
Dear people who think hoenn will be boring since they played it:
until november,m do not think of a Single hoenn memory, do no TOUCH or LISTEN to a piece of HOenn music, and DO NOT WATCH VIDEOS OF IT!!
It will seem fresh by november! 😀
Guess I’m in a good position then.
You haven’t played the originals boi
Precisely why it will be fresh for me. 😀
WOO!!! Internet High Five!
They may not resist watching GET TV… tho…
Djja. I love how critical you are about this game, yet you are being so awesomely optimistic.
Idk what im doin XD
That’s going to be difficult. I KNOW!!! Let’s praise Sinnoh until ORAS is released! Then, we’re praise Unova. And by Unova, I mean N.
OR Kanto so the music will sound better in comparison XD
I like Kanto’s music better! 8 bit master race!
lol ima hit u
I’ll slap you silly m8.
u wot m8
u herd me ill qwikskope ur mum
360 nosquope or git owt
420 blaze it yoloswag
Dat Roaming Legendary Encounter Music though.
I haven’t done anything Hoenn related in years.
luv u bby 😡
😀 😡 I’m so honored.
D:
D: No Hoes?
I ran out of money. :/
Den go to Mauville and gamble your heart out! 😀
Why didn’t you use Rain Dance
Don’t worry. I’ll use Pay Day!
😡 OMG I luv u u so inspiring ah legget married.
Wait wut.
BTW, I didn’t play Emerald (or Platinum or HGSS or B2W2 for that matter), so the postgame battle facilities will at least be new to me… 🙂
Mhmm! 😀
Am I the only one that thinks majority of the fans will be upset?
I wouldn’t say the majority, but some will find flaws in the tiniest of things. You can’t please everybody.
from what?
People are already expecting stuff that seems way out of the water.
Its going to be Gen 3, with added features and semi altered plot. I don’t see how that can be disappointing… but your right, when people are hard to please -.-
THAT TREE WASN’T THERE IN THE ORIGINAL 1/10 WORST REMAKE
http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/751567-pokemon
Sinnoh confirmed.
idk if anyone showed this or not but https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t1.0-9/q71/s720x720/10294407_763916696986526_7532590844143591343_n.jpg
Yeah, but I refrained from posting this because it’s confirmed fake.
NOOOOOOOO
THAT SUCKS Q_Q
Yep. Firstly the logo is off and the Japanese text is pure BS, lol.
Faaaake
Not even 1% quality leak.
I forgot who posted it, but it was 😛 And it’s fake D:
Also, why is there a Rayquaza X & Y battle screenshot?
EXACTLY!
Groudon and Kyogre combine to make Rayquaza…
Fake.
You know what I think? I think we miss Confirming Hoenn as a theory. Now that it really has been officially confirmed, it’s like we lost something valuable.
Sinnoh Confirmed?
http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/751567-pokemon
too genius LOL
Currently making an intro for my videos for my new, non lazy, high quality channel. I wont mess up this time.
Good luck!
