The day you’ve all been waiting for is finally here! (Aside from those of us who have to wait just a little longer.) The first stage of the release for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire starts today, fans in the US, Japan and Australia can finally get their hands on the game after years of wishful hoping, and months of anticipation. Trainers in Europe can expect to get their mitts on the games when they release on November 28.
For those of you who have already picked up the game, we hope you are enjoying it! In this article we invite all of our readers, whether old or new to join in and discuss the games. What starter Pokémon will you/have you chosen? What are you most looking forward to in the games? How are you celebrating the release (outside of playing the games, obviously!)
Get talking in the comments! For those who don’t yet have the games, this is a free-for-all discussion. The comments will contain spoilers

Using it as an HM slave.
its just humiliating
Well, I got past the first three Trick puzzles. Gotta say that the Flash one is my favorite. I can’t go any further because i don’t have the heat badge to use strength.
My HM Slave just grew 7 levels… GG
Where is everyone? I’m 18 hours in and just met Aarune. 4 team members, all 23 – 25. 1 Trick House puzzle done.
I’m about to reach Fallarbor Town with everyone at 30-33. 12 hours in
4 team members as well
About two hours of my time was leaving my game open while playing Smash xD
I haven’t picked up smahs yet. I preordered it, but I didn’t have enough money to pay it off, so I just picked up ORAS.
:0 lol
Hpw many badges, 3 or 4?
3 badges
I am -6 days in

Marshtomp “Toggle” lv.34
Swellow “Swoop” lv.34
Metang lv.31
3 Linoones lv.28,28,30
Lavaridge Town with 14:40 time
It seems everyone is 10+ hours at or around Lavaridge, or less than that.
Yeah.
Many of us were enjoying the Dexnav way too much…
IKR XD
Are you using the Share?
Yes I am, but if I just ran through the game the enemy pokes will overlevel me.
Im on Route 110
Playtime = 11 Hours and 22 Minutes
Pokemon Caught = 37
Current Team:
Marshtomp Lvl: 24
Surskit Lvl: 21
Makuhita Lvl: 21
Wingull Lvl: 20
Alakazam Lvl: 17
Magikarp Lvl: 14

Swampert 39
Hariyama 34
Aron 29
Trapinch 22
Soon Anorith
Anorith FTW. I’ll be using Armaldo too!
it’s not permanent maybe he’ll stay maybe he will not
5 hours in, have a Sableye, Grovyle, and Metang.
Slowly getting there.. thats Alakazam done and soon Gyarados. Then i think im gonna work on Ninjask and Shedinja.. such a pain due to the erratic levelling though
I’m assuming the way Feebas is encountered is unchanged from RSE?
Similar.
On every square, but very rare.
Ohh thank god haha
Cause there are no squares when using the circle pad, unless in buildings
I heard you can find it on any tile and it is just rare.
Fallarbor Town’s Music <333333
-_- There are decoy-like things in caves when using dexnav
CRAAAAAP i forgot to save before i restored Anorith
Never mind its Impish i can work with that
If there’s one thing I remember from the route above Slateport, it’s paralyze galore.
You should have heard some of us last night…
GRRRRR5
Those dang everything
I went back to the Pokemon Center a lot to save on Paralyze heals…
Same haha
Who Is using Exp Share here? A lot of pokes seem higher leveled compared to where I’d be at that point.
I am, but only because i remember Hoenn being a really hard region to train ALL of my team evenly, and I was right.
^^ This game is taking a lot longer than XY did, but in a good way.
So many new features <3
And the toughness is perfect.
Makes you grind so little, and side quests help level as well, and the trainers have varying pokemon and levels now, balancing out.
There isn’t a lucky egg is there? That also has something to do with it xD. I remember using that in XY to make it really easy. But i want Hoenn to be challenging just like I was a kid.
I would like a Lucky Egg but no Exp Share.
Yeah the Pokemon seem overleveled at times even with my using exp share… but I still overlevel them eventually thanks to my sneaking around and abusing dexnav…
I’m not, even though I’ve been almost bodied by wild dexnav pokemon.. twice
All my pokes were 24 and I found a level 27 Dexnav xD
I got left with one Pokemon after an encounter with a Whismut who set up +2 Howls and swept my team with Smellingsalts.. SMELLINGSALTS like what
I am using EXP share.
I am and it is working well for me because i am constantly rotating my team to fill the dex so it is very challenging lol.
I think I’m going to have trouble with the E4. My pokemon are good levels as of now, but iirc the E4’s level skyrocketed from the 5th gym, so they’ll be tough.
Ahhhh don’t you love it
THE CONCERNS THE FEARS AND THE PLANNING!!!!!!!!!!
That’s what makes a fresh new Pokemon game so enticing
Exactly! It has everything XY didn’t.
XY is just honestly too easy. 🙂
This game will probably rekt most young players even with exp share…
I mainly having the Exp Share on so that my HM slave/Pickup-er (Zigzagoon) will give me lots of good items early on in the game. I mean Great Balls, Full Heals and Potions for free are a blessing when you start out
I can’t wait to get my Snorunt and Swablu to round out my party 😀
So apparently you can find hordes of Skarmory on Route 113. This game keeps getting better and better
:< I need a Sweet Scenter. I had one, then released it on accident xD
Grab a random Roselia 😀
Ugh, forgot Roselia.
I was thinking reteach it to a level 23 Oddish I have
OHMY ROUTE 113
The music is too much to handle.
THe background xD
Does anyone have a Slugma or Minun? Need it for the Dex (or DexNav at least).
OMG IT’S SHELLY IN METEOR FALLS!
WAITTTTT I’m jusr behind you ;-; xD
THE BACKGROUND IS SO AMAZING
I’m so glad that these games aren’t like HGSS. Also I don’t want to beat Maxie because his theme is so good……
Hey guys I got ORAS. :3 My pokemon are mudkip, shroomish, and tailow.
I need some advice. What are some good fire types I can get in this game? and
What mega stones can you get before the elite four?
Camerupt yas
I’m using Magcargo. Torkoal and Camerupt are also good choices. If you want Cameruptite before post-game, you must be playing Omega Ruby.
Do you know what mega stones you get before post game in AS?
There are some videos on it. I’ll link you.
Thanks!

It doesn’t say what stones you can get b4 the E4.
The ones he says “After the Delta Episode” are after. All the ones where he doesn’t mention that are t he pre-E4 ones.
It is in post-game regardless of the version. In Omega Ruby you get it during the Delta Episode.
Skarmory yay 😀
Also can you re battle gyms?
NO
What is everyone’s team right now? Mine is Meme the Marshtomp, I’mInWalmart the Swellow, and Turtle Powah the Torkoal.
I have Mudkip the Mudkip, Tailow the Tailow, and Shroomish the Shroomish. I’m not that far because I’ve been playing a lot of smash.
Slips the Grovyle, Alphonse the Metang, and Heartless the Sableye.
