FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Game Journal
I’ve just gotten a new 3DS and ORAS and I can say, faster processing my ass. I have to redownload everything and I’ve started downloading the ORAS demo but it is taking a very long time.
The ORAS demo is a fraction of the real game, so both are going to take really long to download.
It’s done 50% finally.
How is it guys? 🙂
Amazing. Training my pokes at Dewford atm.
Nice!
You’ll be in Lilycove by the time I’m in Littleroot xD
Well, I’ve had it 5 hours, and am disappointed it took me that long to start TRAINING for the 2nd Gym xD
I do have 3 members of my overall team, and they’re around 15 atm.
I heard the levels are the same as one of the games (spoilers so I won’t say which), so you should be fine training up to lv19-22.
Yeah, levels have been all over the place, some higher, some lower.
Perf. I defeated Norman and now I’m taking a break.
This isn’t really a spoiler, more of a really YAS confirmed tip thing.
Flash is a TM now 😀
You’re already in Dewford? That’s awesome!! I just got it. Currently training Treecko for the first May battle.
When did you get the game?
About 20 minutes ago. But I started downloading it 2 hours ago. I didn’t think it would take that long honestly XD
xD
I got it 5 hours ago O_O
It seems to take so long if you have to grind and collect all pokes.
You’re collecting everything in a route first time through? Got to give you some major credit. I could never do that XD. I wish you good luck!
Thanks, it just takes some time finding all of them and grinding if you need it, because some parts are tough.
I can’t wait to get to the tough parts. I really want to feel how I did whenever I lost and how I felt when I got strong enough to beat what I was stuck on.
^ ^^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^^ ^^ ^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^ ^^^ ^^^
Like, I’m trying to collect all of the pokes in Granite Cave rn, so I need a Geodude for my PC and a male Aron (haven’t seen any yet) to use on my journey.
Oh, and Sableye/Mawile iirc
All the while, training my Ralts and others for Brawly.
RALTS FTW! As soon as I saw Mega Gallade, I knew it had to be my partner, even though I have to wait til post game to get the stone. Can’t wait to get my Ralts!
Super Training stone I think.
And ;~; Gardevoir
Gardevoir’s pretty cool too! At least you get its stone early! I think right?
-_-
Level 30 as a girl.
Lol, but seriously, it’s so hard to find a female Gardevoir.
I meant its Megastone! Probably should have said that… That’s weird, what’s the ratio of Ralts genders?
O_O 50/50
Lol maybe the game is sexist, like that one article said. JK at least you got one right?
Too much spoilers 7.8/10
For the hip, trendy thing, they would let me pick from any medical and normal items I had in my bag, and about 7 nouns for the second word, so, instead of saying Your Mother, I said Glalitite Collections -_-
Spoilerish.

Anyways. They force you to beat the second gym before you can find Steven in Granite Cave. Also, my friend got a Dawn Stone from Super Training, so that’s a thing.
Is it possible to hunt for Ralts on the DexNav? Just wondering about what moves it would be able to get if possible.
Only if you’ve captured one.
Oh boy. I know what I’ll be doing in a little bit XD
I know, I spent time finding one xD
Was it worth it? Like did you get a HA Ralts or one with an egg move?
No, I just wanted a female xD
I didn’t spend time looking for those, but I easily could have.
Im always anxious when they implement new things in Pokemon cause I think that I’ll never be able to grasp it but then I think how I’m 18 and kinda smart, haha
You’re wise, I know that 🙂
And it’s a great feature, doesn’t take too long to get used to.
well the games are out i must return here i guess
Heio 😀
Even if i hadn’t of pre-ordered AS, I don’t think I would’ve changed my 3DS to get it on the eShop. I prefer a physical copy of my games, I’m weird like that (I only prefer actual books to e-readers/Kindles etc)
Tbh, I have enough to keep me distracted anyway so I’m all good, enjoy the game for those who got it early, haha
Uh huh, it feels better.
Hope those of you that got ORAS are loving it !! Play it extra hard in memory of all us troops in Europe waiting a week for a physical copy 😀
But that reminds us of your bs pre order bonuses…
Again, that’s only certain places. Sure I’ve had them preorded since day 1 and I don’t get them.
The nostalgia is over 9000!!! I can’t take it anymore!
Merry Hurren Everyone
I STILL CAN’T DECIDE MY MAIN STARTER 🙁
Its boiled down to Torchic and or Mudkip
Torchic Pros
High speed
Evolves into a fighting type and learns Double Kick (also Flame Charge now)
It was my choice when I was a kid
Cons
I’ve learned that i prefer beefy physical attackers then lean speedy ones
It’s super frail
I don’t like birds
Mudkip Pros
Despite its size it has a lot of physical strength
Evolves into a Ground Type the best type in the f*cking universe
And learns rock throw and rock slide fairly early
Mega Swampert is beef
Mudkip Cons
I’ve never once in my life picked a water starter for a main game and it would feel really weird
It doesn’t learn a physical ground type til final form and have to use mud bomb
All my life everyone I knew who played RS chose Mudkip and u all know I don’t follow crowds
So its either a fire/fighting cock fighter or a water/ground mud fish thing
MUDKIP
Mud fish .
MUD FISH !
Torchic
You could ask a friend with XY if they’ll receive it, teach it dig/earthquake early on, and then trade it back to you.
Blasphemy!!!
Lol, what?
its a douche move to purposely teach a Pokemon a powerful move early on, even if it is Dig or Earthquake
it’ll just get stale
It’s a perfectly legitimate training technique to teach a pokemon a move it wouldn’t otherwise know until too late in the game to matter, or to give it a physical move early on if its movepool is filled with special/vice versa it can’t properly utilise. It’s not a ‘douche move’ just because you don’t want to do it. Not unless using IV breeding, EV training and type advantage is a ‘douche move’ too -_- Also: the dig tm in Johto can be found before the 3rd gym, so I doubt most people would call it ‘powerful’.
Holy crap, I’m the featured comment? Yay! Hope that info helped a few people get the games early. Meanwhile I’m sitting here twitching with anticipation waiting for my steelbook edition ;__;
You helped a lot of people I’m sure. So you deserve it 😀
lovely…got to wait until after school for my copy….
I’m going in a few minutes. Just stopping here.
Why do all of my favorite PokeTubers always play the version that I don’t play?
I mean, they all play Alpha Sapphire.

To compensate for other things….
#RubyAlltheWay
ok…. I’m like my dog when she watches me eat steaks. lol
I have to wait until 28 November to play pokemon Omega Ruby, THANKS GAMEFREAK! 😀
Look at the featured comment. 😀
I already know about it, I can’t buy it online. :
Welp, I’m heading to GameStop now. Adios.
Welp, nevermind, my GameStop didn’t do a midnight release. So I need to wait till 10:00.
Please can someone tell me if it is possible to get the Altaria’s mega stone before fighting the Pokemon League. I want to build a team with his mega. Thanks very much!
Altariaite- Lilycove City – Show Collector Altaria -SEREBII
Yes I saw that but is it before or after the league? Thanks for the answer, man!
Idk Im at norman gym
Please let me know if it is possible to do it. Thanks man.
Hey guys picking up ORAS after school today
cant wait to play this mofo
Gonna go with Mudkip just like I did my first time in Hoenn all those years ago
i’m going in 30 mins!!!!!!!!!!
lucky I still got a long day ahead of me.
I was initially gonna drive out to the midnight release but I just got my car and hesitated to do so
Hello everyone. The games are out today and I am waiting for GameStop to open their doors at 10:00am (I didn’t have a Midnight Launch Party). I know I have very hostile and unpleasant to be around the last two days but I will be completely off of here for good now after this message for the next 5 to even 7 days. If Gym Leader Rematches are deconfirmed, so what? The Battle Frontier? Not a big deal. A disappointment, yes, but, not a big deal. No more Mega Evolutions? I have my favorites that got Mega Evolutions, such as Sharpedo.
Anyways, Happy Gaming!
Well it’s downloading! I really wish I could have gotten a hard copy, but the damn storm that wrecked havoc over my area this past week has ruined any chance of that happening today…..so download copy it is! It’s taking too long!!!!!!
are you from europe?
what did you do to your old Nintendo-ID ?
No I’m from the US lol
I GOT OMEGA RUBY AND ALPHA SAPPHIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have fun!
Am starting my game now!!!HYPE!
Moment of truth
