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

hey has anyone gotten any hordes yet?
nah dont know why tho
No and i need one since Plusle only appears in Hordes in OR. I think you have to reach a certain point in the game and get introduced to them apparently? Either that or you have to use sweet scent or honey?
Yeah I heard that it has to be by honey or sweet scent now
I have, but by using Honey/Sweet Scent from Surskit.
I think you talk to someone in Fallabor/Lavaridge (cant remember which), who introduces you to the concept and gives you honey
Team (just arrived in Manville:
Lv 24 Grovyle
Lv 24 Metang
Lv. 17 Slakoth
Is anyone using the EXP Share?
I sure as heck aren’t
I was seeing if I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t using it.
lvl. 27 Swablu. holy crap.
Exclamation mark thing on dexnav?
and it’s one star too.
Clever Kecleon…
Using Camouflage to become a Grass Type to endure my Trapinch’s Earthquake
Should I get Kingdra or Milotic?
What’s your team?
Right now Marshstomp, Taillow and Ralts
Then why do you need another water type?
Dive, waterfall, and Surf can’t have them all on Swampert
Then go with…Milotic
Just have a water HM slave, I mean with the Exp Share, it’s not difficult if a Pokemon misses out on a few battles
Then go for sharpedo,
It surfs twice as fast and has an animation 😀
Don’t look forward to having a mega milotic
I wasn’t haha
Maxie’s defeated pose is the best thing.
Trying to find Nosepass in Granite Cave.. if i see one more geodude i swear =_=
Can someone help me I need a swablu with egg moves but dexnaving isint working for me
Currently on search level 52 for Feebas. Surprisingly only one Dragon pulse one. Might use that if I can’t find a shiny
Are they easier to find?
Yeah. I only had to fish for ten mintues to find the first one and now I’m dexnaving for a shiny
So who’s using Beldum?
I just decided too lol
I am.
Same here
My brother.
At slateport right now with
Lv 20 Grovyle
Lv 17 Salkoth
Are there any 3ds xl bundles going on right now??
Has anyone found the Lucky Egg yet? I always liked having it on board for special training lol Anyway Right now I’m at Mauville training and my team is this:
Marshtomp -lv22
Mightyena – lv21
Shroomish – lv22
I ended up getting attached to Mightyena so I decided not to use Skorupi after all. The only thing is that I wish my Mightyena had poison fang instead of Fire fang, but that’s fine I guess bc I might actually use the shiny Beldum. I had no idea it came with good attacks! I thought it was only gonna have take down so I wasn’t gonna take the time, but now I might just do that lol
There wasn’t one in R/S/E, looked online if that changed for ORAS and it doesn’t seem to be the case…
Hmmmm Serebii has it on his list of items under ORAS, but it doesn’t have a place to be found…..could it just b no one got it yet?
You get it from Pelipper using DexNav.
I think i saw that he found a Pelipper (using DexNav) with one, how idk 😛
Ah very interesting….I may have to go hunting then lol
You get it from Pelipper using DexNav. Quite rare though i think.
The hunt begins!!!…..soon lol
Grrrr i just cant find Nosepass in any of the rocks!!??
Hey guys! What should I name my Treecko? male, I’m looking for people names
Terence, Trevor, Teddy or you could go off the wall with Ken 😛
How does Rowyn sound?
Very Sinnoh lol but great 😀
Leif or Forest?
Lizro
Not really a name that fits to grass types, Shock!
Geico
progressive
Allstate
touche
State Farm though.
NOSEPASS.. only took about 200 rocks!
Good and bad news everyone
My Trapinch evolved…. which means his new body lacks a massive pair of jaws which gave it its amazing power
But did Vibrava animation always fly or did they update it
Review now that I have the game:
9/10. Hoenn looks awesome! Music is great. Graphics are awesome! Hoenn is life.
I love to see Hoenn at night. Some elements from X and Y are there, you can tell they built it off of XY’s engine at times here and there. But all good for most part.
Review based off of the leakers:
7/10. Post game doesn’t look great. Sounds like it is sorta like XY. Aside from the Delta Episode and capturing Legendaries, which takes only a couple of days.
Battle Maison repeat of how it looked exactly in X and Y. No fresh coat of paint.
However, possible Battle Frontier DLC in the works or a sequel. Game Corner was shut down, basically deconfirmed that, where as Battle Frontier is under construction. So possibility of DLC, chance of it right now is I say at 40%. Probably just a herring.
I wouldn’t throw away battle resort away completely, though. The NPC’s are all golden, and something cool happens after you have a 50 winning streak in super singles/doubles/triples
Oooh sounds intriguing, too bad I’ll never be able to get a streak lasting that long, haha
OH COME ON NO SAFARI GAME
In my youth i would catch tons of Pokemon in the Safari Zone
BUT NOW THEY’RE MAKING ME SUPPLY MY OWN POKEBALLS AND WEAKEN THE POKEMON MYSELF
Team update:
At Fallarbor Town
Heartless (Sableye) Level 28
Alphonse (Metang) Level 28
Slips (Grovyle) Level 27
Gary (Slugma) Level 18
if that Metang’s name is referencing what I think it is….
Oh it is… 😉
😀
Play time 8 hours
