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.
- Mega Evolution stones for XY Megas can be found throughout Hoenn

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Game Journal










“Inside the Battle Maison, there’s a person mentioning that he’s scouted the Pike Queen and questions if anyone matches Scott’s standards”
This is from Serebii….. there is far too much Frontier talk for there not to be something going on.
juan and palmer are mentioned too in the game
Yeah…. it really does seem like they are planning some sort of DLC patch that adds more stuff to the game or there is another game coming. There is also an awful lot hinting at the closeness of Hoenn and Kalos which makes me wonder if the reason for this is that a 3rd game will be released which does a HGSS and includes 2 regions. Would be a new twist on the sequel formula introduced with BW2.
The sequel of XY has us go back to Hoenn to witness Kyogre vs Groudon. We have to go find Rayquaza who mega evolves and stops them. Scott witnesses this and invites us to the Battle Frontier
Hmm i dunno- there just has to be a reason for all of the constant talk of the Battle Frontier.
What is going on. We need answers. GameFreak why you do this to us
I’m thinking either DLC or potential third game featuring Hoenn and Kalos since they appear to be close to each other as hinted in the game.
they are on 2 different continents…
Game Freak are pure torturers.
Why put all the references to Battle Frontier in.
And no Battle Frontier? What the fuck?
Game Freak, were you drunk when making this game?
Unless you have DLC planned, there better be a good reason for this!
Shut up with this bf nonsense.
In project pokemon’s leaks I saw that you can battle Sootopolitan Juan or something with his emerald team in oras
That’s awesome!! I hope so XD
So no new megas official yet?
No more Megas.
Serebii and Project Pokemon confirmed.
The Mega Flygon and Mega Milotic fanboys are crying all over the place.
But there is hope! NPC’s say new Pokemon (as in Pokemon that have not gotten Megas) are reacting to Mega Stones or something along the lines of that. Can’t officially confirm that.
Not yet… i say yet because like with the Battle Frontier many NPC’s are suggesting there is more to come. It really does seem like this is not the full game (either DLC or time based events activating) or that a sequel is coming?
My thing is on 20 megas and two primals like come on
Idk what to think about all these Battle Frontier hints anymore.. The hints are so vague, you can’t tell whether there’s more to it than just random NPC text .-.
New things seem to happen everytime you beat the league such as new starters becoming available so it is possibly that new megas and BF could open up after you beat the league a certain amount of times…. ironic seeing as you had to beat the frontier facilities a certain amount of times to challenge the frontier brain’s…
Like the “Beat the E4 12 times and Mew will appear!” thing in FRLG? xD
Exactly! Hahaha but in all seriousness they did this sort of thing in the demo where the more times you played something the more you unlock so it is possible and early unlockables suggest it is the E4 that is the trigger- certainly for getting each set of starters anyway.
well my internet crapped out on me again
So did i miss anything noteworthy?
Sinnoh Starters confirmed. “After another bout with the Elite Four, when you exit your house, Birch calls you again and this time, he has mistaken his wife for a wild
Pokémon. Classic. This time, Sinnoh starters. Once again, no Hidden Ability so either they definitely don’t have any, or I have the worst luck, most likely the former.” Serebii Discovery Thread. Post 18.
Mega sinnoh starters confirmed …..right?
Nope. No more Megas.
Serebii confirmed.
Project Pokemon confirmed.
So these games literally contain no secrets, they just announced everything before..
There better be an update that brings more megas and BF…and m.milotic
Post-game confirmed shit.
Game Freak: “Please understand. We’re lazy and hate our fans and when they request stuff, we only listen half of the time. Battle Frontier and Battle Tower deconfirmed. Again, please understand.”
I don’t get the removal of Battle tower though
Neither do. Game Freak was seriously drunk when making the decisions of the post-game. Like really?
Wait, what is the BP thing on the trainer card then?
Most probably for the Maison
Oh, i thought that the Battle Chateau was in the game
dude get that pole out of your ass
Mega Torterra: Its shell creates a impenetrable stronghold with dense trees and a perimeter of mountains
Mega Infernape: It’s fire erupts from its head, wrists and ankles and its martial arts are unmatched with its blazing speed
Mega Empoleon: its body becomes leaner and streamlined, its wings grow longer and sharper then ever before,
Abilities:
Mega torterra :Super Shell:Increases defence by 1 stage whenever hit by a physical attack
Mega Infernape: Tough claws/Huge Power
Can’t think of any abilities for empoleon
No made up abilities
I feel
Torterra: Solid Rock
Infernape: Iron Fist (It only really needs that)
Empoleon: maybe… Super Luck? or Defiant
Tough claws is better than iron fist in every way though,Iron fist only boosts the power of punching moves and gives them a 20% boost,while tough claws boots all contact moves and gives them a 30% boost
but Infernape don’t got claws
It can get Spikes
that doesn’t make sense
There’s a person in the Battle Maison with the text:
“Wh-who are you? The sight of you set my Seviper shivering!
I’ve been watching the matches from up here, but the Trainers here are rank amateurs to the last. The only ones here who even begin to compare to me in terms of skill and beauty might be those gaudy little girls calling themselves Battle Chatelaines.”
… Sounds like Lucy to me lel
Holy shit! Lucy, is that you? *Faints to the floor*
What are you planning,TrollFreak?
I just hope they are planning something ;~;
I got a few new names for Game Freak:
-FuckerFreak
-TrollFreak
-DrunkFreak
-TooMuchWaterFreak
Pick which one fits the best.
TrollDrunkF*ckedUpFreak
GameFreak Boardroom Meeting
‘Let’s throw in a bunch of red herrings to get the fans all excited’
*commenceevillaughter*
“The Battle Frontier is not in the game. Please understand.”
-FuckerFreak 2014.
You needs to calm down sir.
-Unused BF Brain music (unless for Battle Shit Maison)
-References. Too many references.
If they are NOT planning something, I will hunt down Junichi Masuda and torture him until he talks and gives the entire fandom what they want!
Err….No
I love how some people go hostile over the simplest of things.
I know right.
I’m sorry,but the absence of BF and secret Megas is not ‘The simplest of things’ and these things are a perfectly good reason to go hostile
Yeh. Let’s start sending death/torture threats to Masuda cos he didn’t give us what we want. That’s completely justified.
No one’s really going to kill him..
As much as I love Pokemon.. They’re just games.
Everyone losing their shit over Battle Frontier.
Including me.
Game Freak better have something planned!
Fandom: “THIS IS TORTURE!”
Game Freak: “It’s just a reference. Nothing more.”
Fandom: “A HELPLESS REFERENCE!”
Game Freak: “Sit down at once and we will consider adding the Battle Frontier and overlooking this savage behavior!”
Fandom: “YOUR BEHAVIOR IS SAVAGE! YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE ARE THE BARBIANS!”
Game Freak: “WHAT?”
Troll: “Game Freak, don’t let the savages get away with this!”
Game Freak: “SEIZE THEM! AND NEVER LET THEM SEE THE BATTLE FRONTIER EVER AGAIN!”
Pocahontas II reference fits nicely.
Fuck off, your shitty attitude and repetitive comments are annoying as hell. There’s nothing you can do about it, get the FUCK over it.
So you’re not mad that these games have numerous references to the BF, But the BF isn’t actually in the game?
You’re not mad that these games have no secret Megas?
You’re not Mad that these games have no secrets to be found?
No. Not at all and I’m more of a Hoenn fan that most of you all here. Get over it.
The only reason you’re not mad is because you’re blinded by your love for hoenn.
I will buy these games but no Megas and BF is extremely dissapointing
Sucks for you bro. But BF is literally the most oversaturated and unneeded additions to the game. It’s a waste of data, most people battle online anyways. No new megas? Ok. Just wait ’til the next game, it’s only a little over a year away.
I Wouldn’t say BF is unneeded and oversaturated, but i understand what you mean.
The thing is, i wouldn’t be nearly as mad about BF,i GF hadn’t filled those references.
As for new megas,i really wanted megas to be hidden like XY.
And i really wanted Mega Milotic
I wanted mega Milotic more than anyone on this site. Have you ONCE seen me flip shit about it not being a thing? No. Get over it.
K.
Pretty sure you can’t base an argument on “I wanted it more so I’m right!”
People have the right to be unhappy about something in a game that they looked forward to so much. Stop being such an elitist.
FINNALY!!!!! Someone else that see’s that crap for what it is. A total waist of time, and effort. And a waist of game space. Thank you.
I’m kind of disappointed about no Battle Frontier….but I’m not raging a about it.
Everyone keeps saying megas will be dlc. But why can’t they be event items? I mean no one has dumped the games right? Only demo and pokebank! For all you know pokebank will get another update when the event megastones are revealed! With battle frontier of course Its a different matter…
The games have been dumped.
No more Megas.
End of story.
Good bye!
dude get offline
I assume you’re a newer member. It’s usually not like this at all, but some people get butthurt when information leaks.
im not new. but this guy is just spamming his complaints. like get over it, its a dam game. im just trying to find some leaks
Oh, well I don’t remember you so hi! xD
zinnia theme is amazing
^ something positive, finally. Thank you, stranger.
Oh, damn. I would love to battle with Maxie. xD http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1416501400469.jpg
that reminds me, are there any new PSS Icons
WHERE’S MY GODDAMN HIKER ICON
Hiker’s sprite is the same as X and Y.
Just goes to show how much effort Game Freak put into the game.
Congratulations, Game Freak.
You just took X and Y, and copypasta’d Hoenn in.
PokeManiac is where it’s at
At least Battle Shit Maison has that.
And not the shitty X and Y cast.
Hoenn cast > Kalos cast.
You can do this in The batte Maison?
Yep, if you want to have Multi Battles but have no one to team up with (if I’m not mistaken)
Right now, most of us don’t even have the games yet,but we’re still complaining, the games aren’t out in Europe till The 28th.
All of us should be glad that Hoenn is here and it’s better than ever.
Besides GF obviously has a few surprises up their sleeve.
They could. But they probably are just using these references as red herrings for old fans. Worse case scenario.
You could be right but i think you should Enjoy the main game before you complain about the Post-game
Still no confirmation of Gym Leader Rematches via PokeNav Plus by Serebii.
Welp, losing almost all hope about that.
There was so many rumors about that.
No official confirmation though.
I smell a douchebag troll.
Trolls like to add to this confusion and shithole of a mess that is leaks.
tyrantrum no confirmed

Not sure if this is plausible, but it’s very good, not to mention the ‘hair’ fins look similar to my Mega Milotic 2.0 design. 🙂
Please be real
It’s fake. Djja made it as a joke.
Shit
looks like wallace,
Its already been confirmed fake. That pic has been going around the internet for the past week.
Eeh, okay.
#stillnotmad
Fake. Djja made it as a joke.
Es still good though, I would like this to happen, but ah well.
Anyways, the English dub of the ORAS Animated trailer is out.. That’s something haha
Going back to doing my work, just wanted to share the pic below. 🙂
I’m not looking at any pics, reading any texts, until tomorrow. Bai everybody!

I can’t tell if Troll but this apparently the theme that plays when you face the Legendary Dogs. Probably troll.
hg/ss sounds better
Apparently, the Battle Factory theme has been found. Dk if it’s true.

A website?
I don’t believe it. It doesn’t sound Pokemonish.
Yup, this is highly real.
