THEY’RE HERE, THEY’RE REALLY HERE! Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire are finally out, for now just in Japan, but soon coming to other countries across the world. We’ll be covering some developments that are available now as the games are played. Please note there may be spoilers in this article.

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Game Journal










why are these games so perfect?
Cuz they’re hoenn duh
the credits theme is beautiful like srsly how did they make it so good
Haven’t heard that one yet, only Archie/Maxie theme and BF haha
Let’s just ORAS has THE best music ever created
Love that badges are now actually badges!

Literally perfect
Have shitty Battle Maison Brains been confirmed to use Battle Frontier music in the coding of the game?
Also, are Gym Leader Rematches found? I still haven’t found anything about them and the final coding still has Level 5 Zigzagoons as placeholders!
They are in the game now please stop
You’re just saying that!
You have no clue!
I have a feeling Game Freak is just putting this in to say:
“Battle Frontier unconfirmed. Please Understand.”
gym leader rematches are confirmed, now stop
Where? Proof?
Taco Man, as I said yesterday, as we all were saying yesterday, now STOP
Where I can get the link to where Taco Man is saying this? Please?

this guy said it too, I think
Thank you!
God damnit! There’s no proof!
I want like actual pictures.
Oh well. Guess I’ll have to wait.
Sir Drake halt immediately…
You are stirring my egg and i want it Hard boiled.
*Halts*
Imagine: December, Pokemon ORAS gets updated randomly without any update notes. Open up the game, your mom calls you on your Pokenav and says “someone” wants to see you. You get home and see Scott. He then gives you the Frontier pass. Where are you when heaven falls?
IM DOWNLOADING THE GAME AS WE SPEAK(looks like it takes awhile!)
Speak of how could you empower such activity
And the eshop music has changed to the bike theme!
OHHH MYYY GODDDD
… it must be nice ;_;
Not right now, still only a quarter done lol
Enjoy the godly OST, nl ;~;
I know most of the themes are already revealed via leaker videos, but I’ve been avoiding all of it. Can’t wait to hear rival theme!
Wally has his own now, and it’s perfect.
ORAS REALLY nailed the new music
The Taiwanese just got rekt on Elite 4 rematch
Elite Four 4 Rematch teams actually are tough.
They all have 6 Pokemon. And have Megas.
Unlike X and Y, which I won’t even go there!
So, anyone shown Gym Leader Rematches officially?
I don’t want word of mouth because I’m paranoid.
And Elite Four Rematches confirmed in-game yay!
Thanks @piofelipe:disqus, I was afraid they were gonna remove them.
Again, very paranoid person here.
Day 0 ORAS Hype here in the Philippines.
I found and bought an appropriate piece of headgear to celebrate my getting the game tomorrow…
Well lads since ORAS is coming out in a few dozen of hours for me. I have been wondering… I was planning to have a Gallade in my team but the dastard requires a Dawn Stone. Any leaked information as to where can I find it?
galladite is post game 😀
Similar to Absolite? You get it from beating the rival?
Idk :c
IT’S HAPPENING
@Big_Ol_Booty:disqus I translated the article, it says nothing about Gym Leader Rematches. No pictures either. And Taco Man (the Spanish leaker) isn’t even at post-game. How the hell would he know? Just gonna face the hard facts. Gym Leader Rematches likely deconfirmed.
No you little shit it’s not post game, they’re challenged by rematch, the same way normal trainers are.
Oh, they are? And I heard there’s pictures of Gym Leaders in the PokeNav Plus but I can find them. Can you find them?
I have no idea where they are now, the game comes out in like 5 seconds, see for yourself.
That’s very interesting that they would make Gym Leaders rematched normally like regular trainers. Still, I need hard evidence of this.
The games are coming out today so look 4 urself
The Final Trainer Data shows nothing on the Gym Leaders being Rematched. And still has Level 5 Zigzagoons as placeholders. You call that final? Lol.
Yes, the gym leaders will have lvl5 zigzagoon’s in their rematches.
Lol. What a twist! I wonder why they still have Level 5 Zigzagoons as placeholders, even in the final data Project Pokemon just posted.
Here is an idea… stop harassing others to confirm things for you and look for yourself- the information is available if you look and the game is now out in Japan so it is not going to be very hard to find information. People here are happy to share discoveries and information but not if you keep harassing them and mocking them!
*Backs off* I’m very aggressive at times but when I get told something long by someone else like this and angry, I usually get soft. Thanks for showing how much of a jerk I was. even though I wasn’t speaking in capital letters like yesterday.
Oh my… What an act.
-Dramatically sips tea with the most british classical songs on the background.-
Has anyone used a Grumpig before? I want to use a team of pokemon I’ve never used before on my first playthrough and was wondering if it’s usable
Just by the fact that noboby has answered you it means you are on the right road.
Love this comment lol
IMO almost anything works in normal gameplay. There are rare exceptions, but for the most past you can use anything you want to go through the storyline.
CONFIRM BF AND MEGA MILOTIC!!
Shut up. Unless this just happened. Lol.
Pics/links or it didn’t happen.
It didn’t happen……..yet
http://puu.sh/cYok4/bf625568ee.mp3
I’m sorry but this so pretty ;~:
I’m too obsessed with the awesome Rustboro/Mossdeep/Mauville city music to really get into that… but the surfing music is great, I guess.
too much water 7.8/10
ORAS sucks, the games “still hold water”
There are many water types if you’re playing alpha sapphire
BF theme in a non BF area lmao
Wallace is getting his twerk on (refresh) :DDD
i like that
Dat arse!
Look out, team Aqua’s after that booty
Morning everyone
Its ORAS Eve here in the US
Morning Earthen.
Getting ready to download WoD so that will keep me busy until midnight
What?
you play wow?
since 2008 lol
I used to from end of Wrath until patch 2 of Mists, but had to quit for health reasons. 😉
Cowards!
I’ve been playing since….crap i can’t remember
i think it was mid Lich
But it doesn’t matter i’ve been playing ever since
Nah, it was literally killing me with my 2 hours of sleep per day. 😀
I was scared by the stories of Chinese/Taiwanese/Korean players who have heroically fallen in internet cafes…
…but I still miss the Tauren. 😉
Sounds like me. I would wake up at 7am and play until 5am the next day. it was really bad lol
Bahahaha.
Yeah a doctor told me to stop or I would die. I just decided to quit cold turkey instead of trying to find the discipline to limit playtime. Too bad coz I loved my guild. 😉
WE’LL GET IT b5 THOSE PACIFIC SuxRZ
If the Battle Frontier Versus theme found in the coding is for the Battle Maison Brains, I will scream at Junichi Masuda. But then again, you could select the music you could use when going in the Battle Maison. If that’s one of the options (which I honestly hope it is not), then we can all kiss our Battle Frontier and Battle Tower good bye.
I have a feeling if that’s the case, then Game Freak is saying: “We’re lazy developers. Battle Frontier and Battle Tower Unconfirmed. Please Understand. Just have a shit copy of the Battle Maison and enjoy that instead!”
I want to beat Smogwally, the new Red
I bet 95% of younger players would not be able to beat Wally’s rematch because of that Talonflame…
He’s the real challenge to beat, and I want to do it with my ingame team, not my OP Lv 100 pokémon from XY
Yeah I intend to do that too. It’ll be way too easy with our competitive teams. 🙂
New Megas Por Favor Uno Mas Timutos.
What? New megas?
It really is odd that Battle Frontier haven’t been confirmed yet…what’s even stranger is that Not even the Battle Tower is confirmed,but the shitty battle maison has

YouWe can crai now.
.-. GF’S trolling us with the NPC’s….
In before they NPC mean “BF is gonna be in Pokemon Z”
I SWEAR.
THE HYPE IS REAL!
There aren’t Pokeblocks in this game?
There are
Ohh, but I’ve heard something about the pokeblock minigame not being in.. Is that it?
So, apparently, you can go back to somewhere and capture Deoxys after the Space battle in Episode Delta. Article link: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3420763512?see_lz=1
Probably late but I just found this out.
Wait…….in the article, those pics……..does that imply that Birch gets attacked by a variety of people and Pokemon? hahahaha That’s funny
Isn’t it called like faraway island or something or is that mew? I remember that there was a place maybe it was naval rock that you get him thru event
