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
Off I go right now,
Working on my apps content,
No help or helpers.
Mega Milotic
Mega Flygon
Mega Shiftry
Mega Sharpedo
Probably going to happen.
Pokemon I’d like to get a mega.
Mega Masquerien
Mega Grumpig
Mega Claydol
Mega Mightyena **** – love to use but stats just don’t cut it 🙁
Shiftry won’t. Sadly, neither will any of the ones you want I think.
And Camerupt is up there with Sharpedo.
And your sources ?
some thing that says stone evo = no mega
Can I see the link I mist have missed this ?
No link. I think. Idk :/
npc in geosenge
History. Pokémon already evolving with stones won’t evolve again. Plus, they aren’t big enough roles, I think, to have megas.
Sorry I totally got what you and djj were saying about stones there. I thought it was confirmed no mega haha 😛 sozzz
May chase Djja chase May.
1 Chico point for the guessing the reference.
1 Celestial point if you don’t. 😀
I didn’t guess. Gimme my Celestial point 😀

Gurls
Great job, you got it stuck in mah head xD
You win! 😛
Should i skip the FR/LG chapter? I’m really not interested in it but i want to know if i should check it out!
If megas are given to shiftry and Sharpedo then as a fan I would like for Ludicolo and Camerupt to get one as they are cross game related. But seriously the way I see GF doing a mega for then will be that one of the two version exclusives will get a mega and mixing the relationship.
Eg ruby mega Shiftry but in sapphire instead of mega ludicolo get a mega sharpedo.
Sharpedo and Camerupt are definitely getting them. Archie and Maxie have mega stones. But the other two, I don’t think would anyways. But ya never know.
Yeah I’m getting Omega ruby as my main and alpha as my restart but I’m defo weak at the knees for mega sharpedo. Its just Sexual. 😛
xD
well
he IS a shar
pedo 😉
And its great to see you commenting again!!! 😀

simkenno • 2 months ago
Did anyone read these rumours ? It was on Reddit or 4chan I think 🙂
Treeko, Mudkip and Torchic still remain as starters.
Go-Goggles will have a key role in the story.
Surfing will be significantly reduced.
Secret bases return. Poke-dolls return, Furniture returns,
and Wi-fi visiting will be enabled. Battles inside secret bases will be a
feature. A generic background will be displayed during the battle.
The two bikes return – Mach and Acro.
Swampert and Sceptile will have Mega Evolutions. 17 new added . Not including the Eon Duo.
You can pick a Generation 2 starter mid-game ( at the 4th
gym roughly ) each with a new Mega Evolution.
New Mega Evolutions.
Gen1: Jynx
Gen2: Meganium, Feraligatr, Typhlosion
Gen3: Sceptile, Swampert, Plusle, Minun, Masquerain, Milotic
, Groudon*, Kyogre*
Gen4: Luxray, Cherrim
Gen5: Leavanny, Maractus, Zebstrika
*Groudon and Kyogres mega stones are actually the Orbs.
Swampert will retain its original typing, Sceptile will gain
Dark typing.
The games will be released on the 21 November. A
patch will be added to Pokemon X and Y on November 23 to allow for cross game
communication.
Oh there’s loads wrong :O oops haha sorry, reddit trolls again.
Some of was right though 😛
Wow. This dude was wrong! XD
I’m back from chat. Whew! It’s hard to be in 2 chats at the same time!
The definition of “character development” according to the dictionary: The process of creating a character’s background, physicality, appearance, and personality. Serena has a background, (remember, it did not specify the amount), Serena has physicality and an appearance, and she has a personality. When one states Serena is empty of character development, their minds are like blindfolds, oblivious to the definition of their own thinking. (Sorry, that was too harsh). However, what Serena lacks is in the “layer” department and it’s something EVERY single Pokemon characters lack in the anime.
she has all of that stuff, but the problem is, she doesnt have enough of it.
other female protags had all of this in the beginning too.
And none of them became fully developed, correct? Watch shows like Legend of Korra, Naruto Shippuden, Fairy Tail, and you will understand it’s something Pokemon has and will always be flawed at. They have the ability, not the time and money. (I know, last one surprised me).
None of the characters in the anime have enough… it’s sad truth.
true, but she has significantly less.
May having the most, along with misty and even parts of dawn and iris.
May = Dawn.
Where is the button that reads this to you? XD
I hope the cross game communication happens. How are we gonna transfer items and Mega Stones to ORAS without it? Bank doesn’t let items pass ;_;
I’m sure X/Y could trade with OR/AS…
But what if you want to trade back a Pokemon to X & Y for a nickname or something? 😛
Patch? Es most likely.
On November 23rd 😀
I don’t know why they wouldn’t just do it on the 14th tho xD
Couldn’t you just use the name rater in OR/AS then trade it! Make it the name that you like then trade it. XD I don’t think in any Pokemon game that you could change the name of traded Pokemon!
trade back. Like transfer to ORAS, then want to trade back.
Ah! I see!
You can’t because it has a different OT xP So if it were traded to ORAS, you should be able to trade it back and change the nickname in X & Y there 😛
Ah! I see what your talking about! Then there should be a way to fix it! As everyone suggested a patch should be made!
It’s the most logical way for cross game communication 😀
simple and realest answer: kill it
pikachu answer: patch
Simplist answer would be patch xD
u cud trade with frends
Guys. Do you have the courage to seek the truth ? Or do you have the strength to follow your ideals ?
Former?
I flood
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0Db9NDkTUQ
Curses. You’ve found my weakness!
Ideals.
<—-
Um. I do both, most of the time.
I seek justice and truth!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr9AVYDEeMQ Truth gets bad ass themes like this. :3
In all, I’d say I would rather test my courage to the test and learn the truth.
Definitely would fight for the truth.
LMFAO FLANNERY’S FACE! I LOVE IT!
Also .. it’s unfair that only pikachu gets to cosplay -.-
Well you got that then xD
IKR?!
Did they confirm that ONLY Pikachu gets it, or…?
Well there was a huge emphasis on pikachu and they didnt show not even one other pokemon.
i mean honestly, i wouldnt be surprised, since pikachu is also the only pokemon that has a voice in the game
But there was a “?!”pikachu was probably just debuting it 😀
This statement is like windowed confirmation: layers will see Pikachu like they’ve never seen it before—Cosplay Pikachu—in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. Meet Pikachu Rock Star, Pikachu Belle, Pikachu Pop Star, Pikachu Ph.D., and Pikachu Libre!
~ Pokemon, official website
LAYERS
OGRES
LIKE LAYERS
CAKES!
Cakes have layers!
Oh my gosh Celest, you started him up again xD
Corner Djja! Now.
It still hasnt been revealed whether or not it will only be big ol pika so no worries 😀
They really captured her being nervous really well. 😀
definitely >U< I really wanna make her my icon now LOL
Go ahead. 🙂
If I could have just one and I mean ONE night in GF I’d make sure my mega milotic, mightyena, sharpedo and so on would happen. By ANY means necessary. I’ll take one for the Pokemon community team….. 😉 😛 send requests and I’ll give GF and extra 15mins 😛
Djja, you’re being too harsh with the character development. XY has only 28(ish) episodes without a movie so far. The Hoenn series is done. May’s already been developed. :I LoL
TBH. No Pokemon character except Pikachu has character development. XD
NO
not even a character.
The ketchup bottle pikachu had had the most development
That has lasted throughout the series at least.
Korrina though. She got a massive dose of character development in just 5 episodes!
Like Diane and butler :3
character development in 1 hour
Let him think about his actions, cause he’s been ackin up lots today.
But the hoenn anime’s may had lots of development and beautiful movies and may ;~;
XY hasn’t had that yet dummy. But it will. xD
I watched Hoenn’s anime and loved it! Yet, I got to say she didn’t have any. She just wanted to be good at contest. She got good then it was done!
But she learned from other’s mistakes and had to become a caring mother like figure to her pokemon too XD
Ash did that too. Including almost every trainer! XD Red even did that in Pokemon Origins!
Female protag ;D
its easy to say although they all have little, may had a lot for the standards set by the rest :3
TogepiTogetic gets the most development out of any Pokemon. Probably.I miss Togepi and Misty ;_; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvGibYUH6Go
That episode where misty releases togepi/tic was 2 much 5 me
She releases it? D: I need to catch up on my anime! DDD:
hoenn anime C:
Still in the Flower Power episode XD There’s not enough time for anything nowadays :/
es summer!!!! 😀
I still have to collect ribbons, EV train a box, breed, finish X (am in Dendemille), the stress is real :/
You still haven’t finished X? That’s okay though, because people do things at different rates
She was a great character, and I was really sad when she left the group after Johto. Even more so than Brock.
I got the feels when both left ;_; I wish they would all come back in a movie which all the protagonists meet then Misty and Brock stay with Ash and continue onto the next region.
That really would be cool, to see the original trio travelling together again. I’d love to see what would happen if they did that, but unfortunately, they won’t. ='(
You never know 😛
can i also just say… mega meta is freakin huge. wtf O__O so bulk .. or too bulk.
mega diancie b quakin in her boots
Boi! She BEEN quaking in her boots since she was discovered!!!
Pokemon characters have no good developement, but you know what show does? Last Airbender!
And at least 99.7% of the anime shows out there! Pokemon has this mentality; kids show = no work.
Pokemon vs Real Life ?
I’m happy to report my life has merged and been overtaken by Pokémon since the beginning :
i was born the year it came out, I think…
Pokemon, duh.
Bye guys! Going to start a Hunter X Hunter marathon!
Bye! *I say 9 minutes later*
:D!
FLAME ON
The Flood Theme in the Hoenn Games attracts me like a moth to a flame. :’)
Confirmed as moth
I actually never heard that theme before… I have no idea how that’s possible since I played it. I probably just forgot :/
It’s exclusive to Sapphire and Emerald, and not many people talk about it for some reason. Maybe because it’s not as memorable as the Gym Leader, E4, Champion, Legendary, and Frontier Brain Themes.
That’s why! I played Ruby!
Ruby has the Drought Theme. I really don’t like it. :'(
I’m getting OR though because I like Groudon more, but I’m muting the Drought Theme and playing the Flood Theme from my computer instead. 😀
With all that anime talk that brings me to a good point. Why is Ash still the main character? They could replace him like this:
– Use Alain (Mega Evolution Acts) as the main character
– Make Pokemon Adventures into an Anime
– Turn the games into an anime like they did with Origins
Anyone could suggest more ways to replace him.
Regeneration! Duhh
I know right
He pretty much became one of the icons for pokemon along with pikachu which is why i feel like is why he will stay until the whole franchise is done. I guess they could still make an anime adaptation from adventures considering they would have a long time until they caught up with the black and white chapter thus they could release numerous episodes at once. I like the current anime but i personally would have made an adaptation of the games like origins (not a complete copy and paste) and replace the main characters each gen like adventures.
Mega Pokemon that are most likely going to happen (Hoenn Pokemon):
Mega Milotic
Mega Camerupt
Mega Sharpedo
Mega Zangoose
Mega Seviper (seriously, it needs one)
Mega Salamence
Mega Glalie
Not to fart on your Hoenn Corn Flakes but we already got enough Hoenn Megas
You can never have enough >:c
really? Are you crazy? We need more Hoenn Megas. We’ve got like 2 or 3..
I thought it was just the one
Besides the starters, there are only two that are actual Megas. This one and Mega Sableye iirc.
Don’t forget ones from X/Y. Namely Gardevoir, Aggron, Medicham, Lati Twins
So that’s 10 Hoenn Megas
Oh. Welll I think we are talking about new ones in ORAS… But, yeah.
Actaully its 14 Hoenn Megas cos I forgot Absol, Manectric, Banette and Mawile.
True. But I still think we should get a few more Hoenn megas. It wouldn’t seem right. And we are getting a Mega Evolution Special in CoroCoro next month.
True. But I also want other gens to get some. Mainly Scrafty and Excadrill for Gen 5.
Yeah. And I would like all the Psuedos to get Megas as well. Hopefully in due time.
That could just be the reveal of mega lati@s and camerupt sharpedo though.
Still a few more Hoenn Megas. I’d be happy.
dude we have 14
I’m just going by things we know, and included Zangoose and Seviper myself since they might have a chance of getting one.
Mega Milotic speaks for itself
Mega Sharpedo – Archie has a mega chain
Mega Camerupt – Maxie has mega glasses
Mega Salamence – Drake’s main and possible Mega
Mega Glalie – Maybe Glacia will have a Froslass now, and have a Mega Glalie since Froslass can’t really Mega Evolve due to it being a stone evolution. Plus, you gotta admit Glalie needs one pretty bad.
Then there’s Sidney who will most likely have a Mega Absol, and Phoebe who will either have Mega Sableye or Mega Banette. Even possibly Mega Dusknoir but we can’t be too sure.
This is all assuming what Sidney has on his bracelet is indeed a Mega Stone, and if Phoebe does indeed have a Mega Stone behind her ankle bracelet.
inb4 Mega Shiftry. It evolves with a stone.
Mmhmm! Too bad if that theory is true though… I wanted Mega Chandelure 🙁
Well there’s still Mega Archeops, Galvantula and Carracosta ;D
And Mega Darmanitan, Mega EXCADRILL, and maybe Mega Vaniluxe
YES YES YES! And maybe Mega Krookadile too!
KrookOdile
Oh. Well, my apologizes! I’m not the best at Pokemon names xD
Apologies*
Okay sorry I had to
Luv you <3
I don’t think that theory is true at all. A lot of Stone evolution pokemon need megas
While that is true, it is also true that Mega Stones come from evolutionary stones, in which case wouldn’t make sense for stone evolution Pokemon to get Megas.
But trust me, I HOPE this theory is completely wrong and GF overlooks it, I WANT ME A MEGA CHANDELURE ;_;
But isn’t it just a theory in the pokemon world that mega stones come from evolutionary stones?
I’m pretty sure it’s a fact, don’t quote me on it though.
It is a very legit theory.
Mega Stones are to Evolutionary Stones like Entei, Raikou, and Suicune, are to Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaproeon: Hyped up versions. So it’s theorized that Raichu is basically Pikachu’s mega evo and so on.
Well it’s not a very good mega :O
YESSSS someone that gets what I been trying to say
Just because they need megas don’t mean they theory isn’t true
I just don’t think it makes much sense. It’s kind of unnecessary for GF to exclude certain pokemon from getting megas. What do they even have to gain from doing something like that. They wouldn’t be ruining continuity or anything. It doesn’t add up to me.
There are 134 Hoenn pokemon, 73 of which are final evolutions. 14/73 is hardly any at all. Bring on some more
But remember Mega Evolution is a unique thing and should keep it that way
and we’re just flat out tossing them everywhere
If that keeps happening the magic that is a totally strong bond unlocks a greater inner power will be easily shrugged off as nothing
X/Y gave us this gift and we’re abusing it
Well if they’ve really done away with cross gen evos, then a lot of Hoenn pokemon could use megas that could’ve had real evos, like chimeco, zangoose, seviper, kecleon, tropius, etc. Megas are awesome but also suck at the same time. Kinda wish they had only been applied to pokemon that were fully evolved but still aren’t good. So pokemon like Altaria and Flygon and what have you.
14/73 is 19% which i nearly 1/5, which is a lot when Gen 5 has 0% or 0/100 for simplicity
Unova needs megas. Sinnoh could use some more too. It’s too soon for Kalos I think
Diancie 🙂
Well yes, but Legendaries are different since we’re used to them getting new forms and stuff so Mega Diancie is kinda like that
Can I just say I love how flat out honest Earthen is? XD
Honesty is the greatest brutality
Do Pokémon get EVs when they’re being raised in the day care?
Nope
Okay thanks
No probs
OK. I think it’s time to tackle this now that things have calmed down.
I’m not entirely sure what happened earlier today, or even why. But I do know that not only did I not like it, other staff and other individuals did not either. The entire active staff team works incredibly hard to keep the site running smoothly. A lot of our readers don’t see most of the work that goes on behind the scenes simply because we don’t talk about that with many people, only a few readers who we’ve personal friendships with.
Seeing visitors call us lazy, or claiming that we don’t do work is a little hurtful. Suggesting that we get others to do our work for us is even more of an insult, not only to us but to the people who take time out of their personal lives to write content. Not for us. Not for them. For you. To read.
You’re more than happy to feel an article is too long, or say that you don’t want to read it. But have a little respect for the writer of a piece. Seeing people completely ignoring what your article is about without even reading it is a massive kick in the teeth. That’s all also part of an underlying issue of how the comments sections on article are used (more on this another time). They’re there to compliment the article. Not for use as a chatroom, or a social network. We have a chat and forums specificaly for that. Use them.
I could continue writing and bringing up numerous points of concern, but I’ll stop there. All I ask is that readers start showing a little respect not only to each other but to the staff and the content all of us put out. We’re incredibly lenient in dealing with our readers, but if this sort of behaviour continues we will change that in an instant.
On a final note: DefensiveBastiodon does not write articles because the staff are too lazy to do so. No one will ever do that for us. I have never asked him to write something, and I never will. He approached me about writing something and initially wrote the first post for Road to ORAS without me even being aware. Suggesting that we have subordinates to do work for us is insulting, and you’ve upset inidviduals in doing so. Apologies are more than welcome.
That is all for now. No, I’m not bullet pointing this for anyone.
I read and appreciation all that you guys do!
Dat last sentence jab, tho.
Best way to end it tbh
I wonder if anyone will apologize…
Well said. I don’t think anyone has the right to accuse anyone of anything when it comes to running websites such as these.
This is why people don’t do nice things for others any more, out of fear of getting called out on baseless assumptions, some people really need to get a life.
I appreciate everything you guys do to keep this place running smoothly. Keep up the good work.
This is very well said. One of the reasons I’ve come back to hopefully become a regular is because I’m constantly told about the community aspect of PokéJungle. I do firmly believe we can all get along and share our love for Pokémon without the need for anything unnecessary.
This should be the featured comment. Couldn’t agree more.
D: I’m shocked someone would even say that. Do they realize how much work is put into every detail of the sites? Staying up to date with all updates, posting about them, monitoring the chat, forums, and comments. Even the backgrounds and decals, AND paying for the site too. And Basti only wrote the article because your Wi-Fi was acting up, correct? And kept writing them, for he’s a great author and enjoys doing this. So you guys are doing a great job 😀 Keep it up.
Thank you. 🙂
I actually asked if he’d mind setting up two posts for me when I couldn’t access the publishing tools properly. One for Road to ORAS and the other was a tournament post. All I wanted was a title and categories selected. He wrote in a whole article for Road to ORAS without even asking.
Since then he’s asked if he can write more, and I’ve let him have freedom over what he writes.
Wow. He’s done really well xD and yeah, I remember you saying that. But each time he does it, your bio suddenly changes :O xD
Of course. I wouldn’t let him do it if I didn’t think he could put out some amazing stuff!
That is does. He knows me that well, you see. 😉
I just read the most awesome comment on Disqus ever.
I really respect you for saying this. Unfortunately, I can almost guarantee the same thing will happen with the next article, and so on. It seems people forget there was even an article and just come here just to talk rather than to discuss what someone took the time to write :/
We’ll see, I guess! Either way something will need to change.
Guys, based on how I comment, how old do you think I am? Everyone in the chat thinks I’m like 11 because I was being a little immature XD
LOL. Immaturity doesn’t define age. You are 18, correct? xD
YES!
18DSNick! LOL
The 8D looks funny!
8D
LD!
Approximately 6.773. Maybe a little older.
D; I’m taking back my appreciation!
You’re 14 and everyone knows that so….
