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.
Here are some Mega’s shown on the japanese ORAS site. Notice how all of them have a brownish/yellowish border except for the Mega Mewtwos…
Omega Mewtwo (red border, also may correspond to Y) and Alpha Mewtwo confirmed (blue border, may correspond to X)…?

Mega Mewtwo X is special
We don’ need Mewtwo to have another form(s) for every single stat! #NOMOREMEGAMEWTWOS! #MEGAMEWFTW
We need mew forms huuny
No more Charizard, as well…
Wait, Charizard has 2? I only see the cool looking one with blue flames that has Fire/Dragon as a typing… I need to check on that.
I more so meant it as a retcon, but that works too 😛
really? thats the best speculation you could come up with? lol
And what would you have to say regarding this that is better than NintendoChip’s speculation?
He’s wating for Gogoat to cross his path while he silently waits under the bridge.
How offensive. I do think it be wise for one, such at your age and maturation that you delve deeper into the power of language and how, like everything else, can be used to harm or to gratify.
No need to get worked up in your diction over this. It’s not worth your time.
#don’tdancewithabully 😀 Okay, senpai!
I’m just ignoring it for now.
Any speculation is fine. He’s a good speculator. Absolutely no need to be so harsh towards him over something so minor.
Mega Mewtwo X could actually be Primal.. Nothing else comes to mind, really :/
So, what now?
I like how roxanne’s pointing at her badge like
“Bitch try and get it”
I didn’t even notice this until now!!! I wonder what the other gym leaders will look like…
Me: “I will, dog!” :X
“lol try u bitch”
treeko will wreck her
star fox on wiiu!!!
im going to buy one nowww
How bamboozled would you be if Diancie had two Megas?
Oh my gosh i would just be kinda angry… I mean, there are other pokemon that need megas, or pokemon that peoplethink should have megas, like milotic and metagross
OMG i would be in a mental hospital with rock candy covering my with a glitter heart stapled to my head wearing a wedding dress saying “come my rock fairys my hubby awaits my arrival”
My Wii U flashed with a 30% Discount on eShop
Are the Pokecenter and Pokemart separate again?
It looks that way…
I honestly miss it XD
I think so, senpai. Currently analyzing the picture…
I think so. I’ve been staring at the pic for a long time and I see 3 symbols on the blue building. The middle symbol is a pokeball, and the symbols on the right and left look like Potions
In the pic w/May&Brendan, the symbols look a little different. The right most symbol looks similar to a handbag…
Wanted Mega pokemon: Linoone, Milotic, Flygon, Cacturn, Torkal, Swellow, Ninjask
Yes for TORKOAL!
He deserves more love. His design is unique alone
DUSKNOIR OR SABLEYE!
no… Sabeleye is already OP and no need for another form of the Dusclops line
No! Sableye is poor and Dusknoir must be have a more Reaper Design!
a new design would be great and all but i feel like it’s not needed yet. There’s other pokes imo should get attention 1st
cough Castform cough
how could i forget! 😮
Alot of Milotik agreements
Milotic*
it’s the bae
INDEED
If Flygon gets one, then the other dragons should too. Just my opinion because I love them dragons.
Mega Altaria 😀 Just imagine that beauty 😀
fairy dragon or flying fairy would be cool. Make it like a tank or something with a new signature move of some sort
Yes! 😀 I’d rather it keep its Dragon typing, but Flying/Fairy is cool too 😀
And that sounds pretty nice.
I WANT MORE PRIMALS, MEGAS, AND POSSIBLY AN OUTBREAK OF A MYSTERIOUS NEW POKEMON
Nintendo won E3. Hands down.
Nintendo and Microsoft won! Sony did okay! :3
How many games did Nintendo show?
More than Micro and Sony
http://i.imgur.com/BWIraX8.jpg
So…. it was Starfox?
yeah u blind?
No I was trying to figure out what it was when he showed us the blurry picture.
Maybe they’ll announce it at the Nintendo Treehouse thing.
-Mega Milotic Milotite – Water/Fairy – Serene Grace (instaBurns from Scald, confusions from Water Pulse)
-Mega Torkoal Torkoalite – Fire – Contrary (shell smash makes its defenses +2, Overheat makes its sp. atk +2, could be a good stall with Toxic / Protect / and add Morning Sun to its movepool for recovery)
-Mega Altaria Altarianite – Dragon/Fairy – Fur Coat
-Mega Tropius Tropiusite – Grass/Flying – Thick Fat (patch up that 4x ice weakness)
-Mega Wailord Wailordinite – Water – Huge Power
-Mega Metagross Metagrossite – Steel – Iron Fist (loses its Psychic type, just like how Aggron lost its rock type, and gains Iron Fist. Boosting the power of thunderpunch, bullet punch, ice punch, meteor mash)
Mega Salamence Salamencite – Dragon/Flying – Tough Claws
And then I’d like to see Prehistoric Devolutions for:
-Ancient/Primal Regice – Ice – Refridgerate
-Ancient/Primal Regirock – Rock – Bulletproof
-Ancient/Primal Registeel – Steel – Analytic
-Ancient/Primal Relicanth – ??? – ??? (couldn’t think of type/ability)
-Ancient/Primal Aerodactyl – (it’s actually the mega aerodactyl but got a retconned ‘name change’)
these are my fan made dreams ^_^
I still maintain Natural Cure for Mega Altaria xD
That could work for me as well. But not too many would status align an altaria. They’d go all out offensive to take it out.
If it becomes a mega wall, the biggest wall breaker is being poisoned, and Natural Cure solves that ^_^ Plus it helps as a switch in to stop status on your team, cause then Altaria is technically immune to it all xD
Well it does learn Refresh. But I see what you mean.
Pointless move slot 😉
Oh my bro would be so pissed if Metagross lost its Psychic type. That’s his favorite type. 😀
XD – atleast it’d lose its weakness to Aegislash’s Shadow Sneak, and no one uses Zen Headbutt on Metagross LOL
O.k why would Metagross a Supercomputer lose its psychic typing?
And i’m still annoyed by all the Fairy Megas
THERE IS ONLY 1
NO 2 THATS IT SMARTACUS
No, i mean i hate when people always go for a Fairy Mega when they have zero affiliation with Faries in the first place
o ok nvm i understand where ur coming from
I will never forget the day someone thought a Mega Vespiquen would be Bug/Fairy that officially made me disregardful
He only hates fairies cause he runs mono fighting type teams and weak against them XD
kmsl
I haven’t been using the Brick Breakers in a while
And i totally Took out Slyveon with my Sawk!
Milotic and Altaria have quite thee affiliation with fairies. Fairy does not mean a cutesy, pink, winged creature if that’s what you’re trying to imply.
Agreed. I was just about to saw that. Plus, legends can translate to Fairy. 😀
well there’s also a certain “Magical” quality but those two are better off as themselves
Indeed. And Altaria is one of the only non-fairy pokemon that can learn Moon Blast. If it can draw power from the moon its affiliated with fairies
O.k that’s the kinda sh*t that annoyes me
Just because its in the Fairy Egg Group or learns a Fairy type move doesn’t mean its automatically going to be a fairy
o great Arceus can we just enjoy the news and forget the rivalries and annoyances come on guys we are PJN Familyyy…. i guess
It harnesses the rest of its psychic power to become a mega, combusts like a computer that overloaded with information. Losing its psychic typing.
Tell me, do you run Zen Headbutt on Metagross? Didn’t think so XD
I would run Zen Headbutt if i used that thing
You’d run Zen Headbutt over Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash, Earthquake, Ice Punch, Thunderpunch, Hammer Arm? STOP THE LIES!
U gotta have Stab
Zen Headbutt
Bullet Punch
Brick Break
Ice Punch
Max HP ATK
Assault vest
You’re making the fanboys go wild with this one lol
Also Altaria don’t have fur
I’d prefer Tough Claws on Metagross JUST BECAUSE it raises the attacks more than Iron Fist (Which they should fix IMO) XD Either that or Regenerator O_O XD
LMAO OMG YOU AND THIS REGENERATOR!!!!!
Tough Claws is so overdone -_- megagross would get a huge attack boost anyway, lets not make it tooooo OP XD
Tough Claws is only 4 Poke
3 really since Binacle evolves
Oh my!!! I second, third, fourth, fifth this… Infinitely this until its made real!!!! FJDFJFJFKGJFKNBVBHTOHKBNKG;JKNVC [error] Sorry i malfunctioned from this awesome mega recognition!!! Nice job MegaHeavyMetalFairy!!!
My mortal body needs sustenance. I’ll research what more info I have missed and return once more. Goodbye for now my friends.
Anybody have a link to the show floor stream? Apparently they are/have showing ORAS footage.
im on the official site
Links
Its glitchy nvm
So, was the music that played in the trailer the in-game title screen music? Cause if so, trumpets confirmed xD
Trumpets are by far the most iconic instrument in Pokemon now lol
I think we won’t see other primals (except for Rayquaza maybe). For me it’s just a form like Giratina or Kyurem.
Dialga had a Primal before Kyogre and Groudon did. Expect Primal Dialga in the future. If Dialga has one, Palkia could have one as well. So, that’s 4 Primals to expect in the near future. Plus the other 4 open slots on the Japanese website = 2 Pokemon.
Actually Primal Dialga from the future might make sense since he controls time and all and may have altered himself to be restored in the future
That’s a good point.
It could be, but anyway i think only for legendary pokemons.
It would make sense. Our minimum is 6 Primals.
Of the two open slots, we could get Primal Rayquaza and Primal Deoxysi? Maybe? Idunno. That’s IF it’s limited to legendaries. I’m going to assume that it’s not only lmited to legendaries and we could get Primal Cradily and Armaldo instead of Rayquaza and something else.
One more question:
Should Phil the Camera Guy return?
Now, I’m off to have breakfast.
I’d be fine with just the automatic cameras in the locations.
Do you guys think we’ll get more smash bros newcomers at e3 this year? If so, how many? I think we’ll get just one more, at the roundtable tonight.
I hope Mewtwo… Pls GF
Wow, your comment count says 12340!
XD So do you expect any more guys to be confirmed?
5 more comments!!!
Guys Peeko isn’t a Pelipper yet… New story not confirmed.
He’s holding an Everstone.
NOOOOOOOOOOO Damn you whoever your trainer was Peeko…(Also please don’t tell me his name i don’t want to re-spoil it for myself lol)
Nintendo, please make the ORAS arc in X and Y a movie instead of a mini-arc! PLEASE!
omg nothing is on youtube or the website its doooonneee i have to wait till treehouse
When is treehouse again?
it says 11:35 pt
I want to be able to take screenshots anywhere like in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Okay so if you compare the old hoenn map to the new one i believe there to be 12 obvious differences (there may be more but this is upon first glance)
(REFRESH FOR IMAGE)
1) This is not as blatantly seen on the original map but it is likely to be the island cave.
2) What appears to be an extension of Rusturf Tunnel that joins it to Mt Chimney is seen that is not in the original map..either that or it’s a new cave.
3) This island is kinda there on the original map but is not highlighted as much- it is possible this is Southern Island.
4) This is blatant GF tactics in order to hide something. There is nothing south of the sealed chamber in the original RSE so this is new…possibly something to do with Regigigas. Maybe a large extension of the sealed chamber?
5) ??????? Not a clue…at first i thought it was maybe a new base for Magma/Aqua since it is fairly close to where the old one is but upon inspection the old one is still there. Only time will tell with this one… but i will say it looks like clouds are still partially distorting the image and hiding some of it.
6) Okay so this is Mossdeep Space Centre but look at that GIANT rocket sticking out of it… surely we get to go moonwalking, right??
7) This is another area north of Sootopolis with a similar shape… is it possible that the Cave of Origin has moved to become its own area accessible only by diving underwater similar to Sootopolis City or is it something else entirely?
8) This looks like roughly where the Undersea Cavern is so it may just be that but only highlighted more in the new map but who knows?
9) Sky Pillar obviously but the fact it has been hidden from view suggests there may be some new features added to it or more still to be revealed about a certain Green Dragon.
10) This island does appear in the old map but if you look closely there appears to be a cave opening this time around. Maybe home to a legendary from another region similar to Embedded Tower and Navel Rock?
11) Battle Frontier! No doubt about it- The battle tower makes no appearance in this new map and that is a large amount of clouds to hide a small island so Battle Frontier is most certainly there.
12) The water area here seems to be more open plan..in fact if you look around at the whole map it seems that a lot of the water routes are less disjointed. It’s possible we may have a little more free roaming of the water routes in ORAS.
As i said upon further inspection with a magnifying glass ^^ there are likely to be more things that are different but this is what i found upon first inspection- what do you guys think?
I don’t want 11 to be Battle Frontier! I want it to be Orre!
As awesome as that would be..im pretty sure its safe to say it is the Battle Frontier^^
Agreed
I might be the only one, but I never liked the Battle Frontier. There I said it. I just found it to be a pain in the ass and didn’t find it fun. lol
Off with you head!!! Lol jokes, i admit it was sooo hard back when i was 9 and had no clue what EV’s, stats or anything was but i think it will be much better this time around with all the new mechanics ^^
Regarding #2, i think that was a route you could go down to Lavaridge town from Mt. Chimney, i remember you could find spoink there..
You mean the jagged pass. Yes i though so too bit if it is it is now a cave. If you look at the original map the Jagged Pass was open but now it is entirely closed off. BUt i agree it is most likely an updated Jagged Pass. Nice catch.
Would be cool if we could re-battle the gym leaders in post game like in HGSS
I thought we could in Emerald, since we registered their numbers.
Hopefully they will bring it back 😀
Still have my fingers crossed for Majoras Mask 3D!
They have 2 zelda titles on development already… isn’t asking 3 titles for the same series a bit too much xD
For the Wii U. Nothing for the 3DS yet. 😛
true.. Ok Majoras Mask 3D it is! I haven’t played it so i hope i get to
Ben Drowned. 😮
I actually haven’t played it either. The remakes were alluded to in A Link Between Worlds by Majora’s Mask on the wall of Link’s home. The closest i got to playing it was on an emulator but i took interest in other games.
