The new trailer reveals game footage for several gyms in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, as well as Mega Metagross and some Pokémon Contest information!
Steven and Mega Metagross
As we previously reported, Steven has been confirmed for the Champion of the Hoenn region in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. He still uses Steel-type Pokémon, including a Metagross that is able to Mega Evolve thanks to his Mega Stickpin.
Mega Metagross is perfect for both offensive and defensive styled battles. Gaining boosts in Attack, Defense, Special Attack and Special Defense. The Pokémon also receives a significant boost to Speed when it Mega Evolves. All of this is topped off with the Mega Pokémon’s Tough Claws ability.
Mega Diancie
Further details on Mega Diancie have also been revealed. The Pokémon will receive boosts to its Speed, Attack and Special Attack when Mega Evolving, but will also have decreased Defense and Special Defense stats.
Other Details
The Official Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site has updated with a ton of new screenshots and information, mostly consolidating what we learnt from the latest issue of CoroCoro; some details on Gym Leaders, Professor Birch and more has also been added though!

FEATURED THREAD: Searching for all the Vivillions! by DutchKroket
Has anyone else noticed that the Sugimori artwork for characters seems to have gotten a little stylistic change? It could just be me, but there’s something different.
I’ve noticed it as well! Seems like he’s giving them more emotion!
Yeah! They’ve all a certain amount of dynamism to them. There’s something else too but I’m not sure what it is.
It looks smoother as well, unless my poor eyesight is messing with me. I do like it. Seems better than most of Gen. 6’s artwork in my opinion.
Watson’s face said it all.
I noticed it too. I kinda prefer it.
I’ve noticed that most of the characters look like they’re 10 years younger LOL
Isn’t that something that artists do thought? They change over time? Like Picasso or something how he had transition periods? I know nothing gabout art.
just using big words to make yourself seem clever
May I ask what those big words are? lol
I don’t really know…i just felt like saying it.
Wow. Rude.
Rood*
I’d rather you spray it than say it. lol
That they do! I jsut don’t think it’s something people really talk about much with Pokémon.
yeah, as an artist i can easily pick up emotions in created characters
and i can feel more life in there
although i do miss the classic
Yup, and I like it! it feels much more expressive!
His change mostly started in 5th generation! B/W had a different art style! Same as B2/W2! X/Y had a similar yet different art style to B2/W2. Then OR/AS uses the same art style as X/Y!
I think ORAS is a lot more stylized than X and Y was. So he’s improving artstyle I hope!
I like his current one (OR/AS). It feels just right! Also, I love B2/W2’s art style!
Yeah! X and Y’s was very bland and didn’t compliment the 3D models at all! But this time do, luckily!
Yup, this time do.
Mega Swampert especially.
I accept that grammar mislick nao.
Agreed. He really stepped up his game. I would say the 3D Models look better than the art!
Yeah! It’s funny you should mention it though. I was thinking that the Gym Leader art reminds me a lot of the artwork from Gen V.
I love the new style in XY though. There was a subtle texture added to everything that made things look really nice. I definitely think ORAS has a little something else that’s different too, though.
True! There is just something that’s making me love this art-style!
The art is increasing how much interest I have in the games. I was a little underwhelmed before.
I really love the special Stephen and Mega Metagross artwork too.
Same here! I was super-hyped for X/Y so I really took notice in his art-work. OR/AS goes the same. I really want to see if he’s going to change the art-style again in 7th generation. I hope he using something along the lines of B2/W2!
It’s definitely changed a bit.
moving, do you watch Doctor Who?
Why wouldn’t he? He’s the doctor
He’s avoiding me…
It’s just tea hour. He’ll be back.
Stereotype much?
What? It is tea hour. :I
Read his bio much? 😉
Yeah. Call me maybe.
The Disqus or Author one?
I have no idea. I just realized this isn’t an article by moving LOL probably author one tho
xD Disqus says nothing about tea
And author was written by Basti xD
oh. 😐
xD
It’s okay.
Tea? At Midnight?
Is there a better time?
I wouldn’t put it past us. Every hour is Tea Hour.
I drink tea at night, and every morning! 😀
I actually don’t drink tea at all. Ssshhhh…don’t tell anyone
I do, yes. But let’s not talk about that here. 😉
Capaldi looks to be bad-ass, however.
Just curious, but that sheer force feraligatr… i forget if you breed it, could you still send it out to wonder trade or not.
Nope
darn D:
FLANNERY D:
sorry D’:
Is that Guilmon in your avatar? *Digimon fanboy intensifies*
yup!~ eating a …a..something
I speculate that Mega Metagross gets +20 points in every stat (except HP of course).
100+ Plus in every stat. Take it or leave it. 😉
LIVE ITTTTTT
Can an evolved Pokémon remember egg moves from its prevo?
By move tutor I believe!
As long as it has learned them, yes iirc
Who is this sugar?
Ughhjjhssskd fail I accidentally uploaded a selfie
I love accidents.
Belmad xD
So would you love me?
xD
As long as you have money, power and glory.
Is that why you love yourself
Jkjkjkjkjk
Get #band
:O
Dis is not instagram!! >:I
Why the random picture?
I must say… your avatar looks like you. xD
This is Pyramid King Brandon’s redesign.
ACK KILL IT WITH FIRE
Rood
Then thick that beard
Woah hello
Hey there
Excuse me.
Is that you moving
XD No
Moving was the guy in his dark profile pic
No. It’s a challenger…
Are you afraid of challengers?
Depends. Should I be afraid?
Your goatee’s pride is in jeopardy
you should see mine
Pics.
What now?
Moving doesn’t disclose his face. As we all addressed he is a part of the brotherhood. So, we cannot see his complete face.
But i can see his eyes
Run and hide! He’s coming! XD
I fear no man!
No, since you’ve got that only you sound.
Oh? Do explain!
You’re unique. I mean your shy replies, your British exclamations, your some kind of rival side. I don’t know you’re like a big teddy bear to hug.
Didn’t Pokemon B/W have the oldest trainers we played as? I believe they were between 14-16. They looked older than other trainers for sure!
I thought they were 17
A specific age wasn’t given they were just stated to be older than 10.
Ik. That’s why I think they were 14-16 in B/W and then 16-18 in B2/W2!
Does it still bother anyone that it’s still misspelled as “Stephen” and not “Steven”. ;_: LoL
Yes ;~; I thought Stephen was pronounce Ste-fen not Steven.
Oh, wow I just noticed that XD
Actually, it’s not a mistake. That is how it’s supposed to be spelled.
Kill him
Djja, corner
i agree
I don’t even know how such an atrocity is permitted to happen. You don’t just misspell god ;_;
xD Well he was way off then. S-T-E-V-E-N to G-O-D.
You also capitalize the G in God. 😛 Stupid TCBby. 🙂
I only do that when actually referring to God xD Not a god, if that makes sense xD
But.. isn’t Steven God? LOL
He’s God’s god
No… XD
I think there’s a misspelling right there. 😀
Uh… Capitalize G! God. 😉
What error?
In the article, Steven is written as Stephen and it’s killing us all internally. xD
That was your cue to refresh honey.
I love you NL
that was perfect LOL
Get away from my Bæ
I’m blonde. :I
WHAT. I totally did not even notice that. I’m so used to typing Stephen. I shall change immediately.
Hurry before PJ fires you. What an atrocity. xD :3
Moving how dare you
is there any spyro fans around here?
is it only me that thought about the egg thief in the games when i saw accelgor? xD
I used to watch my sister play spyro when I was really little. Too bad there will probably never be another spyro game since they sold him to skylanders or whatever
Actually I read an article saying the creator isn’t completely giving up on that title 🙂
Interesting. I’d probably buy it
I played ripto’s revenge and the remake, that’s about it.
I’m a Spyro fan!
I thought it was some squeaky voiced jackass that stole stuff
I remember the one from the Hippo level and the lava place
WOO HOO -HIGHFIVE-
LOL yeaaa
I am actually think of playing Ripto Rage again
though my last playthrough i 100%’d it and went to the carnival
you definitely should. at the moment, I’m 100%ing the year of the dragon one!
I did that when i was 8
when i was 8, I was too derpy to understand much of gaming when I had this game LOL i was even afraid of the whale that was in that sunrise hub world.
I’ve been gaming since i was 3
My Feebas is level 85, and the one before that is 40, from my MM session. Still no shiny though, switching it now for a new 6IV Feebas. :/
“In the May 2010 volume of CoroCoro Comics, it was stated that Hilbert and Hilda are older than previous player characters, but it is not known how much older they are. According to game scenario author Toshinobu Matsumiya, Hilbert and Hilda were initially visualized to be at the age of 16” ~ Bulbapedia
Ight! Thanks! I still think they were 14 in the first game… >___>
No prob! ;D
Okay so I was looking through some of the screen shots on the official site again and noticed something in the picture where Zangoose was traded… It said Orlando, not Brendan as at least I would expect. It has to have come from the O in Omega. Does this mean that they will come up with another default player name for May, possibly Amy?
Ammy!
Ammy confirmed!! 😀
Nice catch! 😀
Thanks!
They did that with X/Y! It was Xavier and Yvonne!
Exactly! But I’m thinking it’s only a default name when naming your character and the rival will still be May/Brendan
Only this time, the names got a downgrade on originality. 😀
Orlando!? My city confirmed for ORAS!?!? Whoa… This takes it to a new level.
(I know it’s also a name)
Orlando Bloom <3
Ugh I’m so embarrassed about that pic. It was when I was at the pool and my friends were wondering why I was taking so long and I sent them that and said I was drying my hair which is ironic because I shaved it off 🙁
Sorry for terrifying everyone lol
What picture?
His avatar, which his friend drew in the likeness of him.
No there’s a selfie of me at the pool down there
I didn’t see it D: re upload it!
Lol hell no that was like the worst possible one
It’s under my comment asking about the move rememberer
You didn’t terrify us, at least you’re honest, unlike some human beings on this world.
Not the first time it happened to someone haha
That was you? How old are you?
17
Ah… okay. 😉
I’m 18 and you look older than I do :/
You shouldn’t be ashamed.
Metang is a fusion of two Beldum
Metagross is a fusion of two Metang
Mega Metagross is a fusion of two Metagross
The Rape Machine cometh
So MMetagross is 8 Beldums.
What was the most devastating moments that occurred to you in ruby sapphire or emerald ?
Mines tied with releasing a Pokerus pokemon :O and also force feeding a feebas before I knew which was a beauty block and the feebas ate too much and then I couldn’t have a majestic milotic.
#PainsOfBeingAn11YearOldIn2003
When I couldn’t find a Feebas… I was 4-5 XD
I can honestly say I don’t have any patience now at 22 years of age due to me finding a feebas back in 2003 haha
I’m 14 and I still don’t have the patience of finding it! XD
Losing to Steven…a lot. I could not beat him ;_; Then I did, and it was the most epic battle I’ve ever had against an NPC XD
Yeah I love the E4 because it was a challenge them 🙂
This comment… I’M LAUGHING SO HARD!!
The struggle was real 😛
I started as a female character and found a shiny cascoon but I restarted cause I didn’t want to be a girl the whole game
Ahh no way 🙁
Ehh at least I gave May a chance
“Your internal battery has run dry”
Haha i still deal with that on my ruby lol
I never had the problem. #BatterySweg.
Finding over 10 shinies in battle factory. I played it too much :p
Hmmmmm hard to say
I think its when i couldn’t remember what Pokemon i used during my Journey
All i remember is putting my Team at Victory Road….
I don’t have the back cover for my gameboy advance. Played for three hours in a vehicle without saving, hit a bump and the batteries came out of the gameboy. #WorstDayEver
Constantly losing to Liza and Tate and giving up on Emerald for a few months.
Half of the label getting torn off by my sister.
Is it possible for pokemon like Porygon-Z and Genesect to get megas since they’re manmade? Mewtwo was made with Mews DNA so he’s different. (Ps: Mew needs a Mega in ORAS because it’s not fair Mewtwo gets two)
Make that two.
Mew needs 3 to make up for Mewtwos 2 megas >:D
Technically Porygon is a computer Programme, so it’s just code, and honestly nothing is stopping them from uploading a ‘patch’ onto an artificially ‘stone’ and voila, Mega Porygon Z
So the mega stone would have to be created then or at least altered? That’d be cool
Its just a theory, but it’s interesting, considering Porygons evolution items Up-grade and Dubious Disc can be considered as patches that update the programme
Genesect is just an ancient pokemon with a technological shell.
It should get a Primal then
Porygon Z might be a stretch
And as for Genesect i too have yearned to see its primeval state before its altercations, but alas i feel that we’ll never see what i was in ancient times
That’d be so cool though!!
I can totally see that as a plot line in a future game. An evil team trying to create the worlds 1st ever man-made mega stone and uses it on either a new legendary or someone like Genesect/Porygon.
That sounds like it could be really cool! :O The moral would probably be that you shouldn’t mess with nature or something.
LOL! MY BROTHER’S TABLET WAS READING AND HE SKIPPED THE LAST SENTENCE TO, “Pop Culture*skip* is trash!” LOLLL!
You have a brother? D: I’m all alone.
Aww! Yes, I have an annoying brother… but he can be sweet AT TIMES.
A story of how I learnt respect….
I was 9years old. I had a team of Mews and Mewtwos in pokemon Gold. One day I was bragging in primary school about them. Then disaster struck…. My Gameboy colour fell…. I frantically turned it on…. And then it happened. New Game. No continue just New game.
I have from then a new found respect for myself and others, due to a Pokemon disaster.
– Another day in Simons Life 😛 :
How did you get Mews?
A toy store in Ireland had a battle competition and I won. Then I cloned it with the glitch 🙂
Nice 🙂 I caught a mew on pokemon red using some complicated method I found on youtube
I learned respect by battling Regi and loosing 6-0
I learned respect by losing a spelling competition… 😀

These pics are so nostalgic xD So simplistic, yet so beautiful. So happy to be fighting a sequential E4 again too. I like the addition of the chairs too :3 Started in Kalos, wonder if it’ll become an E4 theme moving forward xD I mean you can’t expect them to stand up locked in these rooms all the time D:
I’m weak at the knees. My body is pumping out anticipation 😛
I like the chairs. But Steven should be levitating in the air XD
OMG! ON TOP OF MEGA METAGROSS YES!!!!

#StevenSweg.
I was wondering what you thought of these. Earlier, I said that the E4 rooms from XY make them seem a bit bland. But, I guess that’s the beauty of it. It keeps it simple, and it allows players who played the original RSE to go through the lovely thing known as nostalgia. I went through it in HGSS, and now it’s your turn.
Just imagine it and listen to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6mYZWgze08
I thought their rooms in X&Y were so much cooler than they actually were…they were so easy to defeat
Are they going to sit down when they lose. I love the look! Yet, Kalos really had a big entrance for easy Elite 4 members! XD
I loved the Hoenn elite 4 so much, I challenged it over 40 times.
I personally liked the rooms in Kalos’s E4. The battles better make up for the bland rooms.
Yes, but this is Hoenn and this is how they were 😛
I would like a Pokemon game where:
– The antagonistic team has already succeeded in taking over your region
– You play as the main antagonist
– Able to take over the world
– You finally see the errors of your way but it’s too late
– One of your friends and fellow member disapproves of your new found enlightenment and decides to take matters into their own hands
– You stop your friend and become a hero
– Your friend decides to go on an adventure to find true happiness and what his purpose is in life while you set out to become the champion
This would literally make history for Pokemon! lol
There is a fan Pokemon game where you play as Team Rocket!
That would be amazing!
Hmmmm
Am I evil? or am I good
i think Chaotic Neutral
I didn’t realise it was the elite 2. Why are they only hyping up Phoebe and Sidney?
Because they are better than Glacia and Drake >.>
So since Zangoose & Seviper are now, once again, version exclusives, presuming this means we can’t find them in each other’s hordes anymore?
I’m glad. That way a shiny zangoose can’t get killed by a gang of sevipers
LOL i feel bad for anyone this has happened too.
and that they will have megas 😉
like manectric and mightyena!
the mega stones will be in opposite games i bet XD
…I would hate that
Is that even a question? :I
I figured Sableye/Mawile will fit that role. With their mega stones found in the opposite game XD
that could happen too xD
maybe them too, since xy had 2 opposites, ttar and aggron + manectric and houndoom.
Mega battle!!! Maybe Mega Durant and Heatmor as well? 😮
I was just talking with Chandy about that. He thinks they’re gonna get mega’s. I personally say it should’ve happened in XY but it seems very likely now.
I’VE BEEN WANTING MEGA SEVIPER SINCE DAY ONE OF THE MEGA EVOLUTION REVEAL!!!!
and Ive been wanting mega zangoose, so hopefully we can trade LOL
😀 LOL, YES!
Get on the pm hoe >:T 😉
okie dokie ^_^
edit: i’m on
my damn DM page won’t load up… taking eons -_-
I’d love a game that links the champions together to defeat the new evil team which is actually a merger of all villainous teams.
Sounds like a good idea for the last game.

This looks like a dad who’s about to take off his belt and give his kid an ass whooping. Holy shit I am loving these screenshots. They are NAILING the facial expressions. <333
This may sound dumb but I’m more excited about the lighting and reflections on the floor. It looks great. ;_;
^THIS SO MUCH
I was going to post this pic with that comment but I was too lazy! BUT, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN! MOVING FORWARD!
most beautiful gym in hoenn tbh. okay norman, slay a bit.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY?!”
He looks way too young
and i was never too fond of the players father being the Gym leader
I usually imagine if i was me in there
How much you wanna bet Slaking will have retaliate.
No way. XD
Um
Yes, I mean look at this! http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/_ui/img/_en/july/screenshots/july_p10_03_tab.jpg
He’s still ugly to me
3D model makes no good also.
I don’t understand his need for sunglasses. Unless flash is returning so help me god…
>:( D: :O
Out of all the fighting type gym leaders he’s the lamest. Chuck is a close second but at least he looks like a fighter (even if he is fat)
A loving dad, but today, he acts as a gym leader, as serious as ever. Just a small detail in games that look to be the best yet. But I like Flannery’s a lot, too! I’m sure you’ve seen it by now lol.
Loving? He didn’t help me and mom move in. Nor does he come home at night. Or give me a call once in a while on my pokenav. He didn’t even give me my first pokemon. Instead he helped out a kid who he didn’t even know
Fair enough then. XD
He looks like he can be my brother.
from another mother 😉
😉
I don’t know about the butt whooping. Yet, the floors are sooooo shiny.
That’s me 😀
… Dad…
Abomasnow? Is that you son?
He’s clearly grown up to be a Mega Abomasnow
Remember when I stalked Ziaa-Chan? I literally tried everything to find her real identity… well, I’ve finally found it! My best friend’s sister’s name is Ziaa… 😀
You stalked her? 0______0
Kind of and kind of not… 😀
wat LOL
ziia*
though my real name is hunter o:
Yes. That’s what made stop… after learning your real name!
LOL; ohh. stalking the name hunter will be hard and youll just find a buncha guys
Wait Hunter?
yasss
You is a dude?
nope, girl XD
I’m confused
Imma a girl, dna and all, but my mom just gave me the name Hunter cause of -enter reasons here-. She changes her reasons like every time so I forget which one is the legit one LMAO
still a cool name though 😀 i dont mind like I hear some girls do
Alright
I just wanted the honest truth
Not some creep that pretends to be a girl
Don’t worry i still honor our friendship
woo! and I think creepers who pretend wouldn’t blurt out their real name XD Maybe transgendered people but theyre not creeps o:
So it was your best friend’s sister?
No. Ziaa told me her real name and because there are millions of Hunters out there, it would be hard. And besides, I’m not interested in… nvm lol!
tell me!
interested in …….WUT
My swampert will be pumping iron till it can lift two torterras while getting tickled by meganiums feelers.
Holy crap! I just pictured that 0_0
I just hike up the Mountains and literally make my Pokemon carve through until we meet the other side
Please my Pikachu had a bowl of nails for breakfast. Without any milk.
I urge them to punch out the ore and carve their own nails to eat
he will become an emotionless monster D:
They’ve spent too much time at brawlys gym
