New Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Gameplay

As we draw nearer and nearer to the release of Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, The Pokémon Company has released a video showcasing new footage of the games starring Shokotan. The five minute long video features Primal Kyogre in a double battle, a look at Mega Rayquaza, a run down of the multiple formes Deoxys can take and a brief recap of the Shiny Beldum event that will be available to players when the games release.

Hope you’re all as excited as Shokotan is for the games!

  1. GAHHH!! Sometimes being British is great, and sometimes it isn’t! I really don’t want to have to wait an extra week whilst everyone is getting their Hoenn on!

    Not gonna lie, I had a dream last night that I (personally) was battling Winona…

  2. Just saw the ORAS Animated Short. I’m convinced that there will be no more new Megas.

    I plead that Mega Flygon is fake because I really don’t like it (the more I see it).

  3. What part of there will be mega’s saved for the game for players to discover on their own don’t people understand -_-

    if he was talking about beedrill/steelix he would have said there are mega’s that have still yet to be revealed

  4. To all those people who are going crazy thinking the leaks are 10098544% real:
    Chill.
    There are so many things wrong with the pictures of the leaks, but you’re to focused on what you want to see.
    None of the leaks posted here are real, if it really wasn’t that obvious already.

    (Except Heavys Mega Milotic. 1554/10)

  5. I’ve been thinking a lot. I do believe in more new Megas. GF just wants them to be kept a secret until they are leaked by people who get the games early.

  6. Just putting this out there…

    Inb4 someone starts comparing this time of leaks to last years Greninja and Hawlucha leaks.
    This is different.
    Now shoo.

  7. Everyone is talking about leaks, and I’m just sitting here wondering if the normal formes of the Weather Trio can use their new signature moves.

  8. I wonder if the Rayquaza and Deoxys battle in the Delta Episode was inspired by Rayquaza’s and Deoxys’ battle in the Deoxys Movie.

  9. As weird as it is would anyone happen to have a spare ORAS Japanese demo code?? I want to try something XD please and thank you in advance

  10. If they’re gonna remake Kanto, might as well remake HGSS. It’s a 2 for 1 package and it ensures that all regions would have a 3D representation. Given that the inevitable remakes of DP and BW are gonna be in 3D.

  11. Its time for the Hoenn Hype Hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. I’ve been out of the loop so all this leaked mega stuff is kinda freakin me out. I’ve heard Castform, Milotic, Froslass, Flygon, and Stantler. Anyone wanna fill me in on which are real/fake?

    Reply
  15. Milotite would’ve made sense to be concealed in parfum palace. Kalos people idolize its beauty, and they even have a statue of it there. If Mega Milotic isn’t in ORAS I’m pretty sure it will be in the kalos revisits

  16. My OR trainer card. I must say I don’t like it as much as my AS one…any suggestions for an electric type other than Raichu? I don’t like Manectric btw so I’ll choose this tubby over that thing gladly.

    • I played it for like 10 hours. Just meh, it didn’t really get to me. But that could be just me because I usually play story based games who get me thrilled to move on in the game and make me want to take my 3DS every free minute I have :p Fantasy Life has a storyline but not a very exciting one (to me at least).
      It’s really up to you I guess whether you like to play that kind of game or not 🙂

      Reply
        • Yeah, I think you’ll be safe then 🙂 The ‘creating your own place and help as many as you can’ part is very similar. Except some of your missions to help others out are more action pacted compared to AC

  27. So many people forget about Lenora.
    Literally one of the best gym leaders of all time.
    Her gym was a freaking library in a museum. Amazing.
    Plus, she was the first African American gym leader, a big step up by GameFreak.
    It’s a shame she wasn’t a gym leader in BW2, but for good reason.
    Those fossils need to be researched.

  28. Read this please: (I didn’t type it)

    Assuming it’s true that you get the Lati after the 5th Gym (and that this screenshot is of the Pokedex after the 5th Gym), this means the Leaker has fought: Roxanne, Brawly, Wattson, Flannery and Norman.

    Now there are two very important Pokemon missing from the Dex. These are Voltorb and Numel. Why are they important? Well, Wattson used Voltorb in both R/S, E and the Demo Dumps and Flannery used Numel according to Emerald and the Demo Dumps. But they are missing from the Dex, while if this is image is after the 5th gym you should have fought Wattson and Flannery, thus fighting the supposed Voltorb and Numel.

    This could mean 2 things assuming this picture is Legit.

    1) The Gym Leaders may have other teams then the teams of the Demo Dumps.

    2) The Demo isn’t final.

    ======
    Leader Wattson – 567
    ======
    Pokemon: 3
    Magnemite (Lv. 19) (Moves: Thunder Wave/Tackle/Volt Switch/―――――) IVs: All 20
    Voltorb (Lv. 19) (Moves: Rollout/Charge/Volt Switch) IVs: All 20
    Magneton (Lv. 21) (Moves: Supersonic/Magnet Bomb/Volt SwitchIVs: All 20

    ======
    Leader Flannery – 569
    ======
    Pokemon: 3
    Slugma (Lv. 26) (Moves: Overheat/Rock Throw/Light Screen/Sunny Day) IVs: All 20
    Numel (Lv. 26) (Moves: Earth Power/Lava Plume/Amnesia/Sunny Day) IVs: All 20
    Torkoal (Lv. 28) (Moves: Overheat/Body Slam/Curse/Sunny Day) IVs: All 20

    tl;dr Mega Milotic is real

  30. I know this was in the demo dumps but what if, just WHAT IF, they gave Flannery a Camerupt instead of Numel? It’s highly unlikely but just a suggestion.

  31. Here’s the story:

    “Got the Milotic mega, there’s two. Milotic has is own ingame event and you pick one megastone or another. You have to dive after an old woman tells you the little mermaid tell basically and you only have time to pick one megastone of two. This one is Water/Fairy. I think these are the only one not revealed yet from Hoenn, Flygon, Claydol, and the two Milotics.
    IM NOT WRITING ANYTHIN ON THIS THREAD AFTER WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE LAST ONE. I DONT KNOW WHAT TRIP IS. TOMORROW I WILL POST THE MILOTIC EVENT PICS, now i’m going to sleep.”

    Reply
  32. Question.
    If the leaker of the two m. milotics was real, why didn’t they get one mega stone, mega evolve milotic, take a picture of the pokedex or whatever, sr & get the other one, and take a picture of that ;-;
    I think most of us would have done that 😛

  33. Supposed leaker posted this in Spanish on 4chan. I translated it, here it is:

    Hey / vp /, complete pokemon Alpha Saphire a while, I got the game last Thursday, I have no pictures of the game available to me because I have no camera, just my pc right now. I understand if you do not want to believe me. Well this is the point, do me any questions about the game and try to answer

  34. Spanish leaker is fake, he said he has no camera on his phone.

  36. So idigitaltimes apperently are saying that theres only 5 megas left in game.

    Flygon, Milotic, Dusknoir, Zangoose and Seviper.

  40. NO wonder the swimmer from kalos said he swam from the hoenn region, if they are so closed i understand why deoxys got hit by the laser beam, maybe the two regions will be tied to the new region! maybe in the new region there might be a pokemon (celebi when mega evolve) time travel!!!

    • I love that a lot of mystery is shrouding these games and they’re right around the corner. Of course more and more “leaks” will happen everyday but I’m surprised we’ve made it this far without even one definitive leak of something substantial.

  62. Famitsu has delivered the first review for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, awarding both games a 37/40. Three of the four panel members have the game a 9/10, while one of the panel members gave the game a perfect 10/10. Unfortunately, this does not surpass XY’s score of 39/40 and BW’s score of a perfect 40/40. Does this mean that XY is better than ORAS? Not necessarily. But maybe there are aspects present in both XY and ORAS that XY happen to present more efficiently.

  64. Ok so I’m planning on sending over either Stunky or Skorupi to ORAS…….which one do I pick? I’ve been leaning toward Skorupi bc I’ve wanted to use Drapion ever since it was first revealed way back when, but I also kinda want to use Skuntank…*sigh* lol

      • Yeah, it’s not a big deal to me, I just usually try to have a pokemon with fly so that if I need to fly I won’t need to go back to a pokemon and switch my team around. It gets annoying

        Reply
        • Yeah I get you, from Gen 4, I’ve always wanted either an HM slot on on a Pokemon’s move list (like they can use it outside of battle, no in, still have 4 moves) or Key items to replace

          Reply
  66. Why is everyone using transferred (mostly shiny) pokemon?
    Why can’t you just use the pokemon that you catch in the wild in the game?
    Is this some sort of illuminati conspiracy that involves you getting rid of the nostalgia of catching pokemon in the game?

  67. I’m racking my brain over who I want on my team….I thought I had it nailed down, but idk now….I know for sure I want Swampert, Breloom, Drapion, and Flygon, but the other 2 r escaping me. I need a fire poke and then something else just to fill in the gaps as best it can

  70. Well. I guess I was wrong about the leak time. It’s amazing tho. Hopefully, the Nintendo Ninjas doesn’t come take them down. Anyways, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire scored a 9/10/9/9 (37/40) from Famitsu. Pokemon Black and White is the only Pokemon game that got a perfect score from Famitsu.

  92. Just so no one is mad at me… I was Never appart of Any console wars. I am avidly 3DS cause Pokemon is my favorite game out now… Until Kingdom Hearts is on Vita again. I simply said the One thing Vita has going for it overall and ppeople got upset and made it seem I was saying Everything else. Umm No. And if you feel this comment was pointless. Ignore it. I’m not trying to rehash and further anything

  93. There needs to be a leaker that needs to leak the post game (Battle Frontier, New Megas) because all the leakers leaking the during game are getting shut down really soon
    Plus people are pretty hyped for Battle Frontier and New Megas

  94. I don’t understand how the battle pyramid is “supposedly” absent from from the BF. It’s removal wouldn’t make sense. I get it can fly around but what would be the point of that be?

  95. Interesting find in Slateport then… guess that clears up a question people had. (trying to not be spoilery for those that don’t want to know).

    Reply
  96. Apparently an NPC in Slateport talks about how Furfrou is a very rare species in Hoenn.

    “Supongo que has oido hablar de los adorables Pokemon Furfrou. Es una especie muy rara en la region de Hoenn.”

    I’ve taken Spanish in school for three years now, so I can translate a little bit of Spanish. 😉

          • i don’t think saying what mega stone we find spoils a game, what spoils a game is not knowing who the champion is, or what will happen once you get to a city other then that when it comes to items it is fine to tell! because they don’t spoil!

          • I dont think too unless if its a new mega… I can understand people dont wanting to know…. But item? Can i at least get the pokemon by that point?

          • THANK YOU! lol! i guess we must wait to find out but i think you do the alakazam’s mega stone in slate port, maybe someone gives it to you, or the maze guy does! either way add me on oars when you get it so we can share secret bases! ohhh! you can get the pokemon but its an agra outside of rustburo city and it uses teleport as soon as you try to attack it XD!

          • I already cleaned my agenda… Friday im all oras and junk food 🙂
            But saturday i have a wedding(the boring churchy-part)
            And hunger games… If all go down ill see on thursday mid night 🙂

          • lucky, on friday i have school I do have work on saturday from 2;30 pm till 9 pm but on sunday ill be off and ready to start oras!

  97. Well, I’m leaving for good this time. I’ll be back, but I dont wanna be spoiled on my favorite city in hoenn and just, everything. I only have to wait 3 more days so there is no point having it ruined, see ya later!

  100. Wow so there’s a snow storm going over my part of New York and I swear to god it it stops me from picking up ORAS on Friday someone will die!!!! lol

  101. People complaining that Hoenn had too much water is like me complaining all the other regions didn’t have enough water. Lol.

    I think reviews should only cover things like graphics, game play, interface and ease of use, characters and story.

    Thing as specific as ‘too much water’ is subjective and I like reviews to not take that approach. People are more than welcome to give opinions like that, but they shouldn’t be included in reviews

    Just my opinion.

    Also saying the location is a tropical region then complaining about water is like saying a jungle setting has too many trees.

    • Hoenn is an Island lol- what do they expect? I love that post game content was a positive in the review though… it makes me hopeful for Battle Frontier.

      Reply
        • In the review he mentions a need to train well past the main game…. that screams Battle Frontier or at least some sort of battle facility. The positive mention will of course be relating to the Delta Episode too though.

          • Another review: “Having now finished the story and the content that follows immediately after, I’ll confess that I’m slightly disappointed by the postgame content on offer. Unfortunately, Nintendo won’t really let me go into detail on this front for fear of spoilers (despite already announcing most of it themselves), but at least one major piece of single-player postgame content that I was expecting to see is absent. I was also surprised by the comparative lack of new areas to explore. On that front, Omega Ruby and Alpha Spaphire are in line with Heart Gold and Soul Silver, but it still would have been nice to see Game Freak put the cherry on top of a strong story with a really killer postgame.”

          • Well it is is not there it will be a real missed opportunity and a very big error on GF’s part especially given the fact that they added a BF to HGSS and Hoenn already had one.

    • In other words reviews shouldn’t be personal opinions, but collective views from experienced people about the game.

      Anyway I’m not a fan of reviews.
      And I didn’t expect ORAS to get a perfect score.

      • How do you know the collective won’t hate surfing all over and fighting tentracool all day? I know me and a lot of my friends didn’t like it. So by my limited polling I would have to take points off for water assuming it was the same.

        Reply
    • How do you not include an opinion in a review? Simply saying a game is good is an opinion. I’ll have a go at an objective review for you all.

      “Pokemon OR/AS is a video game. It is published by Nintendo and released on the Nintendo 3ds. It has RPG elements and you capture monsters. The amount os monsters is the same as the previous games. This game is a remake but includes new features that you may or may not enjoy. If you like Pokemon OR/AS you will like pokemon OR/AS but if you don’t like Pokemon Or/AS you won’t like it. ”

      Done here you go is this what you want?

      • I also said that’s a reason I don’t like reviews…because they are opinion based. I want facts and don’t give a monkeys about anyone’s opinion.

        Reply
        • then look at news and don’t even bother looking at information about reviews. A review exists to give a player context. Knowing something is new and if it actually is good are two other things. Someone could tell me all the facts about Sonic Boom and I would say “sounds good” they could mention “Glitches exist” but without context I could be like “all sonic games have glitches” so i’d buy it only to find I wasted 60 dollars on utter shit.

  103. IGN’s ignorant ass reviewers gave Alpha Sapphire a 7.8. Their reason? Too much water and too many HMs. Like, have you ever played the originals much less Pokemon at all?

    Reply
  104. So leaker confirmed that no bf or new megas to be seen after completeing the games but he said npc:s have been hinting for something being build and pokemon reacting to new stones

    Reply
  105. funny how you people get so mad about a review lol. Just enjoy the game for yourself. Reviews are not facts, they are opinions. Opinions opinions OPINIONS!!! geez get that through your heads. You all are still going to get the game anyways so who cares.

  106. 7.9 seems like a decent rating for ORAS from IGN.
    They put a lot of thought into all of their reviews, so this is no different.
    Keep in mind they can’t give it a 10/10 just because “Hoenn is bae” or even for nostalgia.
    They see things a lot differently than we do, that’s their job. Writing reviews requires in-depth research into every part of a game, which is something we as ordinary gamers do not normally look into.
    HMs in this game and field moves overall are definitely more overwhelming than XY.
    (Dive, Flash, Secret Power…)
    And water has always been a big problem in Hoenn.
    I completely agree with their rating, again due to their full research of the game.
    (And you guys can’t even judge them for giving it 7.9 because you don’t even have games yet smh.)

  107. So thats got to the part that we know we have leakers…
    So we can choose to be spoile or not….

    And its only 2 and a half day till the game comes out..
    What to do to contain the anxiety…

    And if its true that we dont have the BF i would take at least 3 points in a review
    🙂
