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!
Don’t forget to check out the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire animated short!
so what did i miss?
MEGA DUNSPARSE……jk..just an old mega in slateport
what old mega? roaming in slate port or you battle it?
it didnt surprised me unless you had said Mega Milotic
Megastone I mean….Mr.spoon man’s stone
wait so they have a megaton for sale or for ppl lot look at? and by spoon you mean alakazam’s mega stone?
I dont want to to say anything else for those who dont want to be spoiled anymore, but yeah its zam
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!
Sure 🙂 hopefully by friday we will be palying….
Only 3 days…..

lol
Leakers instagram : http://instagram.com/krismendez

THe leaker just beat the 3rd gym. Maville looks great! 😀
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!
The leaker is back! More sparkles
Yay! Time to see Mega Whiscash!
Morning everybody
so any more big leaks?
Morning! Nops, just some old megastones.
Nope.
So much mega stones early on and powerful ones too lol Depending on when you get the Mega Bracelet you have access to really good ones during the story.
why ..
What we had in XY was powerfull as well… Gengar, Aerodactyl, Lucario, Ampharos, the Kanto Starters
Indeed but they seem much more frequent so far… 3 are quite close together so it suggests much more will be available in game this time.
That is good. I hope there’s ORAS mega stones before the E4 as well.
None confirmed yet… the starters will be and possible a couple others but i think most new ones will be left till post game with a few of them possibly requiring soar.
I wouldn’t be shocked if all revealed mega stones will be given before the post game.
I guess they will give you at least the starters ones before you face the Magma/Aqua Leaders
I’m sure they will, also you can get the mega stone from the special demo for sure. I really do think were very likely to get most the mega stones that were revealed before post game given that they even showed the Pokemon in animated form.

Negativity : Too much water and too many HMs
*facepalm*
i agree. Its the hole point of the region and HMs have always been a part of the games.
But the game is about land vs sea, of course there will be water.
Am i the only one that loves all the water and diving in Hoenn. It was my favourite part lol
No other people really enjoy it. I hated it but a lot of people enjoy it.
I thought the water was what made Hoenn unique. It is an island after all 😛
It made it uniquely my least favorite pokemon game XD. Unique isn’t always good. I’m super excited for OR/As but that’s new megas, post game, soaring, stuff like that.
Yeah im really looking forward to some of the new features and i respect your opinion.
exactly and I totally respect people who love water. My Step Brother enjoyed that part.
Negatives: Too much water
“The water itself is absolutely gorgeous with the new graphics and details, though. One of my favorite parts of the entire adventure was splashing through puddles that reflected the starry skies at night, and even diving was made better by seeing a school of Luvdisc swimming by.”
WTF
lol
“and there are even a few post-game surprises to encourage you to keep training well beyond the 25-hour main story.” -This really screams Battle Frontier doesn’t it 😛
ORAS reviews so far:
IGN 7.8/10
Famitsu 37/40
Gamespot 8/10
Destructoid 9/10
Joystiq 4.5/5
Nintendo Feed 9/10
Nintendo Life 9/10
Nintendo World Report 9/10
PocketGamer 9/10
GamesRadar 4/5
CVG 8/10
Kotaku: Not perfect, but worth playing.
I wonder what kept everyone from giving it a perfect score? Probably because it’s a remake. Everyone grades remakes harshly.
Yeah it seems like all reviews say that it didn’t fix as much as it could have, and didn’t add enough cool new features compared to the original.
I hardly count a near perfect as graded harshly. I thought this game was one point away from prefect. Most sites don’t give games a 10 unless they blow their minds. They most just go at the end of the day it didn’t shock them with amazingness.
Dat Weavile-Pidgeot-Colored avatar <3
It’s thanksgiving themed… it’s a turkey.
Turkey Weavile ftw! <3
Yeah rocket! Did you see why for ign. Minus #1 “TOO MUCH WATER” is that a joke!! And minus #2 “too many hms”
“Too much water” the ign reviewer must work for Team Magma xD
IG N is po
Ign=fail
They aren’t bad, just their reviews are really biased.
Aren’t bad? Ook too much water as a reason to subtract!!!! It’s HOENN
That’s biased. Not “bad”.
I do think that is legit, maybe not that many points but I remember that was a massive turn off for me when first playing Ruby and Sapphire. Everyone has personal taste and that effects a review, the whole point of a review is to read someones thoughts on the game. If Water isn’t a problem for you then bam take their score and knock it up a few points. Don’t let your self get upset because someone doesn’t like a thing you do.
No I understand completely it’s just the idea that too much water. It’s HOENN that’s what Hoenn has. And like I said the originals got a much higher score of 9.5
Yah but they were reviewed by another person. As a Pokemon fan maybe you never played hoenn and you don’t know what you were getting into. Or maybe you hopped the nerfed the amount of water you had to surf in. I know I was really hoping they would do that.
Water routes are exciting.
for you, I personally never enjoyed water routes. I hate running into the same pokemon over and over and over.
So buy a shit ton of max repels. Simple as that. Like holy cow. That’s all I do, I stock up on the essentials before I head out. The water passages bother me not, because I’m smart enough to buy the appropriate supplies to keep wild Pokemon at bay if I don’t want to run into them. 🙂
In Ruby and sapphire that was a much more annoying process with lots of menu clicks. The thing is you can’t tell a person how to play the game and how to enjoy things. When I play OR/AS i’ll make good use of repels. I personally wouldn’t take so many points of if a bullet point was “too much water” that is insanely stupid to think that wouldn’t be the reaction. Guess what it’s getting him a ton more hits and he is cashing a nice big pay check for everyone getting mad, no one will remember that the dude wrote the review but he will remember his pay check.
IGN is supposed to decide what everyone likes. That’s why they are so famous. But they don’t do a great job with taking everyone’s opinion into consideration, hence the word “biased”.
No, IGN reviewer is payed to write what he liked. He could make a note others may like it. However, if he doesn’t enjoy it he has to assume others may also not enjoy it. That is how reviewing for any gamesite works. No one could write an objective review because we all take in games differently.
I wouldn’t do that if I worked for IGN, I would write it considering popular opinion.
What is popular opinion, then why even write a review. Why not just write “Pokemon OR/AS, it’s a remake of ruby and sapphire, play it maybe if you like that, it’s popular but is not the most popular pokemon game according to sales data. So this is not the best game but this is a game. “
It is a game. But it’s just a game.
yes exactly, so don’t be annoyed at why someone likes or doesn’t like it. If objective reviews existed I could write one right now without ever playing it.
btw I hate IGN i’m just talking true.
Didn’t get enough pokemon ads on their site to give it a strong review.
^This xD
It’s good to see the reviews are coming out in the wake of the leaks.
The sad part is ifn have Ruby and sapphire 9.5 why didn’t this get the same I was hoping
If you played Ruby alongside Omega Ruby I would guarantee you you would like Omega Ruby better.
I mean, why not?
Actually. Hmm. Idk about that ook some people would like the only species XD idk about me I love the original
Wow, they gave the latest CoD a better review (IGN). ;-;
COD bought a lot of ad space for that review.
The latest COD is actually a good game. You people just hate it because of the name. Who cares what the pokemon reviews are. Just buy the game and enjoy it yourself man.
Do any of the reviews really talk about post game content at length that’s what I care about most.
No, but Kotaku said that there’s a lot of surprising things that happen postgame.
I think they may have been embargoed from talking about delta ep looking at the reviews. I wonder if the surprising stuff is the stuff we know about. A lot of People working in games media don’t actually keep up with game news.
Yeah, they mentioned they couldn’t say much because of the embargo.
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
Im coming to the nyc for the prerelease when would you suggest i line up
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.
Maybe it is for Delta Episode.
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.
It could be EP delta ramps up the difficulty and we know rematchs are a thing.
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.
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.
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.
Finally someone that thinks like me and agrees.
Is it true we get national dex very very early?
GG

Goodnight Sweet prince.
I think that person has very hopeful thinking lol
Did they not get the message that battle mansion is trash? I hope it is buffed.
bg
Anyone hoping for friend safari to be back but different, mix up what types and Pokemon people have?
I think DexNav mechanics kinda replaces FS for HA Pokémon
but that only works for things you can catch in the wild. I want hidden ability Snivy.
Just got back into playing pokemon after I seen the new game mechanic with Mega Evolution and thr game being in 3D. I just finish playing pokemon Y and need some friend codes for the safari, trading and battling mine is 0662-5303-1886
pointless bro lol. nobody plays X and Y anymore.
Really? I do. 😀 So you cant say that no one plays it anymore.
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?
Send them to Sahara
they hate team aqua
Wallace appear !!! http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1416336682315.jpg
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
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.
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.)
I don’t get why people think 7.9 is a bad score…
