Nintendo’s Digital E3 was broadcast earlier today and with it the company has shared a handful of details relating to new Pokémon games. Below you can find our coverage of the news, expect more throughout the day with in depth coverage just around the corner!
Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
And full trailer has been shown for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, showing Hoenn completely remade with 3D environments. Launching worldwide on November 21 in the US and November 28 in Europe!
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Kyogre and Groudon are able undergo a process known as Primal Reversion. This allows the two Pokémon to revert into Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon, and allows them to draw back power from nature and gain an even larger power boost. When undergoing Primal Reversion, Kyogre receives a boost to its Special Attack stat whilst Groudon become Ground/Fire type and gains a boosted Attack stat. Both Pokémon also seem to gain a boost to their abilities, although it’s not possible to confirm this yet.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will bring players even closer to discovering the secrets behind Mega Evolution, with players seeking out Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving and unlocking their incredible potential. More Mega Stones are said to be hidden across the Hoenn region. It also appears that there may be a link between Mega Evolution and Primal Reversion.
Below are a selection of screenshots and artwork showing the updated Hoenn region and the two legendary Pokémon undergoing Primal Reversion.
HHHAAAYYYY do u guys think latios and latias would get primals even if they have megas
Djja come to chat Wyv is not liking ORAS
With this Primal Devolution, does this mean as time goes on, legendaries lose their Original form because of a lack of power? if so, the legendaries we see in the games are just a fraction of their original self.
IMAGINE XERNEAS SHAYMIN OR CRESTILIA <— I MESSD UP
So apparently ORAS is on the show floor as GCPM11 Tweeted… Probably nothing new though. I mean, how could you top this?!?!?!?!?
fjhfjwehfowehnfoewnofe dont get me even more hype
We did get Clauncher and Skrelp last year.. Mega Ludicolo and Shiftry maybe? :p
The red building looks like poke center and the blue one looks like poke mart.
Refresh for pic.
Gais, this place is Petalburg 😀 (it has a route to the right & the grass patch matches the far top left patch of grass in route 102)
So does this mean that building w/the yellow thing is the gym, or wally’s house? (or both and its just a 3d thing, the red house being wally’s house and the yellow thing being the gym)

Awww Petalburg is so beautiful :,D
OMG
DOES THIS MEAN WE ACTUALLY SEE WILD POKEMON WITH OUT BATTLING THEM NOW??? 😀
Beautifly Horde!
Market confirmed
TC
y u gotta be upset?
Why would I be upset?
Okay I thought u were upset XD
And go to chat wyv b hatin on ORAS
Ahhh Guess this means Pokemarts return then. Unless the blue building turns out to be something completely new.
Clothing shop, perhaps?
OR THAT LOL
I zoomed in on the image to the left, and the blue building has 3 white symbols on it. Don’t think its a mart anymore. Looks like it has something to do with either contests or clothing
plus the mart wording is usually on the left, iirc. In these pics the writing is on the right side of the building :3
That’s definitely the Market based on Petalburg’s layout 🙂
Fresh taste of Hoenn graphics! They really improved the graphics from X & Y! I still wish that every trainer has a 3D Model!
looks so good. and I love the small new HP bar.
I disagree; if anything the graphics look overly saturated compared to XY (refresh for comparison) I was expecting a bigger improvement and the battle fields look way to similar for what I was hoping for
Hoenn is more brighter, so I don’t blame them for enhancing the colours. What improvements were you looking for? It was going to run on X & Y’s engine. I admit they kind of do. But the beach and volcanic one don’t. I just really want them to give every trainer a 3D model. Doesn’t seem like its going to happened!
I do agree that the battlefields look way too similar to what I would’ve hoped, but also keep in mind that these are just trailers, and the game is still in progress of being completed.
The real game will reflect on whether or not the graphics have improved.
Dem flowers tho!
I hope we get a Primal Relicanth and Primal Wailord. That could somehow tie in with why they’re required to unlock the Regi’s.
PRIMAL WAILORD WILL BE INTENSELY HUGE
Or it could be smaller. Organisms typically get smaller over millions of years. Look at humans for example: a million years ago, a human would have never reached the average size of a human today.
But Relicanth is said to have not changed for millions of years…
yes but we don’t know if it had a form before then. Scientists only just discovered it to be still living
I thought it was said not to have changed much. We could get a more fierce looking Relicanth with a power boost while keeping its appearance similar.
YUP!! I swear if you check my comments I wrote this yesterday lol
You did? I didn’t mean to steal your idea! >.<
Not going to lie slightly disappointed, but mario maker looks cool
We’re just bathing in screenshots right now xD
Does anyone have the trailer of mario party 10? 😮
Scroll down 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I69x8Bvm9zM
Does anyone have the link to the ORAS website (i.e. the japanese one)…?
http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/oras/feature/03.html
Thank you 🙂
I’m confussed about Primal Forms. Even when we get Mewtwo X and Y, it didn’t have X and Y symbol over megaevolution icon. Now we have Groudon and Kyogre having blue and red orbs with alpha and omega on them. Seems so special.
I suppose because they’re not Megas, technically
I know they are not megas but it seems that they may not working in a way that Megas work. they may be exclusive to Kyogre and Groudon (and Rayquaza) only.
They’re megas with a name change
And this is your assumption.
They evolve during battle, and get stat increases. Doesn’t that mechanic sound familiar to you?
Yes, Cherrim for example.
So…no word on Pre-Game Bank Compatibility?
It will be compatible, the woman from pokemon box was in there lol
oh pre game… idk
Of course Bank will be compatitble. But you would have to reach the pokecenter in oldale to take them out.
Was that confirmed?
Also, on the JP website there are 4 open spots. Relicanth and Wailoard or Rayquaza and Relicanth… IDK. Also, Primal Groudon now is Ground/Fire. I believe Primal Kyorge is Water/Electric. The website lists it as Water for now! (Refresh for the images.)
I wish it was Water/Electric…
Relicanth x2
Summery:
These two extremely powerful Pokémon clashed in an epic battle that once sent Groudon into a long slumber within the magma beneath the planet’s crust and drove Kyogre into a deep sleep at the bottom of the ocean floor. The awesome transformation is a result of Primal Reversion, when Groudon and Kyogre reclaim their original power from nature’s energy and obtain even greater power than they already have. The power within Primal Reversion is still being discovered, as well as what connection may lie between Primal Reversion and Mega Evolution.
Primal Groudon is brimming with energy, which pours from its body as magma. The magma burns at such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering ruby red from the haze of its heat, giving off light in the darkness. Through Primal Reversion, Primal Groudon becomes much larger and adds Fire type to its Ground type, raising the power of Fire-type moves it can learn. Primal Reversion greatly boosts Primal Groudon’s Attack. Its Ability may get a boost during this epic transformation, too.
Primal Kyogre, a Water-type Pokémon, is awash with energy that spills from its body as seawater. Its blue skin shines like a sapphire and is half-translucent like the sea. Primal Reversion greatly boosts Primal Kyogre’s Special Attack. Its Ability also seems to get a boost, although this information cannot yet be confirmed. Primal Kyogre is massive, growing to be more than twice Kyogre’s size.
omg im in love with u jk ;P
Like you said, “acceptance is the first step.” 😀
lol ok u got me with my own joke
I’m in awe of this!!!!!
my only two complaints:
1. No majoras mask (so far)
2. smash’s release date 🙁
October 3rd is not summer
exactly
Wait that may be the WiiU version, only the 3ds version was summer i think
It’s not. The Wii U release said holiday 2014
It showed the 3ds logo and said Oct. 3rd, then the Wii U logo and said Holiday 2014 or something like that
Oh wtf… Nintendo lied to us… game’s been delayed…
Zelda Wii U was enough for me. The game looked sexy.
Ikr, that bow though
BLUE ZELDA ROCKS MY KNOCKERS
Wait guys
they didnt show customization in the trailer
but no problem for me!!! 😀
I like the new designs! 😀
or pokemon amie
I needs Sylveon
Mega Sylveon
Huehuehue
I needs customisation
Same here. I just hope they added 3 skin tones. Also, don’t be to sure now! It could still be in the game!
They didn’t show customization in XY’s first trailer, either. We guessed it because of that glitch with the glasses. See if there were any glitches in the ORAS trailer. 😮
but i dont wanna loook :c
Don’t make me get the Vine Whip.
Okay :c
*pouts* not yet.

Sorry if I sound like a slowpoke. I woke up about half an hour ago, and I’m trying to catch up with what I missed besides ORAS.
Anyway…
PALUTENA CONFIRMED FOR SMASH!!!! :3
She hawt.
Yeah. :3
CAN WE JUST BATHE IN HOW BEAUTIFUL ARCHIE LOOKS NOW?????????????????????????
A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF CHOCALATE
He’s more of my italian slice of pizza.
IDC I WANNA EAT HIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMM KYOGRE USED CRUNCH
I wanna suck his finger so bad and tell him to wash his hands.
Pirate on drugs
the good kind of drugs
Pirates have allergies too :,S
He throws his Pokeball with pizzazz
So who thinks we’ll see Pokken Fighters later? lol
They look mad… *refresh for pic*
The way Maxie toss his Pokéball is just condescending, I like it.
And of course they’re mad. They’ve been waiting for 11 years.
I’M 11!!!! :O
By now, we’re all aware of that.
No, I mean the coincidence.
0_0 JESUS. I was playing Pkmn Red while you were still swimming in your daddies sack.
LOL!
That’s quite descriptive. Unnecessarily descriptive. XD
People need to be verbose at times to emancipate themselves.
Archie’s expression looks EXACTLY like mine when I go to battle someone and see Greninja/Talonflame/Aegislash on their team
LOL at Archie. He’s like *in T-Pain’s voice* WAHT?!?!?!
NANI SORE?!
there is nani
to be sore
So apparently in about an hour and 20 minutes GCPM11 will have gameplay pics from the show room floor… Will there be anything new guys? I’m kinda amazed ORAS is on the showroom floor actually… XD
isnt he on youtube
Yes and i’m just following him on twitter since he arrived at E3 yesterday.
ORAS DEMO??? :O
I don’t know!!! Hopefully though!
Wait. Will Dark Pit be playable too!?!? O__O
Not yettt is what i guess from the trailer
Pokemon is still working on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. I’m even glad they still showed us footage of it! They did this with X & Y. Look at Lumiose City. (Refresh for the Images.) Trainer customization might not be fully added yet. That’s highly why they didn’t show it!
