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









I saw on Serebii that Pelipper can hold Lucky eggs. Is this true? I just found a feebas I want and need to raise it quickly, so this would help.
Yes. Quite rare though.. you need to have encountered it quite a few times before they will appear.
Please, I just spent two hours trying to find a three star potential or a shiny Feebas. This will be nothing. xD
Guess not lol
My team:
At Mt. Chimney
Grovyle Level 29
Aron Level 29
Swablu Level 26
Planned members left: Sharpedo, Medicham, and National Dex Hoenn wild Pokemon that is of Electric type most likely. Does anyone if there are wild Shinx/Luxio?
Post game I believe, via Dex Nav (Luxio)
I heard from the leaks, you get the National Dex after defeating Wallace. Which is strange. Lol.
Mauville City is officially 1000075433552x harder to navigate then Lumiose City.
I felt Lumiose City was really easy to navigate once you got the hang of it, but this… I can’t take it. Too much
I found the freaking gym before I found the pokemon center xD
But.. its just a square? Heres a map. (refresh)
Yes but the square has many parts and hallways.
Not to mention several stories
Not nearly as much as Lumiose though..
Mauville > Lumiose.
Hoenn is life. Hoenn is love. Hoenn is god.
I know this isnt very related to ORAS but I just defeated Wallace with a pure-water team.. I defeated his level 56 Milotic with a level 43 Tentacruel named Gregor.
TEAM:
Rumble/ Swampert level 44
Pancho/ Ludicolo level 43
Karp Diem/ Gyarados level 46
Gregor/ Tentacruel level 43
Derp/ Crawdaunt level 43
Shamu/ Walrein level 46
You limey scoundrel!
I have yet to start my Ground Mono Journey Hoenn Edition
Swampert
Camerupt
Claydol
Flygon
Whishcash
Better luck next time Mate
And a better question is since when does Wallace even have a Level 56 Milotic?
Its in Emerald mate and its 58
Oh you should’ve said it
And besides Water vs Water isn’t that difficult you resist everything Wallace can throw at ya
Trust me man.. It still was hard being underlevel and having to deal with a swords dance Kingdra
wait…. Champion Wallace doesn’t have Kingdra
And Kingra can’t learn Swords Dance
this smells fishy
Right I confused Drakes final pokemon with Wallace
And its Dragon Dance not Swords Dance… Damn. you are good.
My bad. Nice detective work Holmes
and also its Dragon Dance
But let me assure you i will silence the Region’s Elite with the deafening Brute Force that is Ground Types!!!!!!
Does anyone know where Luxio is found in the wild in Hoenn after you receive the National Dex? Just curious. Want one for my team.
Route 118
Thank you kindly! I appreciate your help! 😀

Omg
Have you guys seen the Bug Maniacs???
They look so creepy
They saw May’s booty and now they want more
when have they not?
and its kinda obvious
OMG Winona’s gym looks so cool!!
Hmmmmmmm i kinda want to ditch this Anorith sadly it just doesn’t meet my expectations
Maybe i’ll find something prior to mount pyre
*Whispers in ear* “Whiscash”
But i already have a Water/Ground type
and i’ll be using one when i start AS
but i’ll have to just rely on a Marshtomp and Nincada until i get to the Numels
Parts of me wanted to use a Steelix but i’m extremely adamant when it comes to using the Natives
Managed to get a Torkoal with Superpower 😀
Oh god. Maxie’s gonna “Attempt to educate me”.
Teacher, whatever you say.
Good luck we all know what happened to the last group of people who tried to teach me

I was going for me standing triumphantly on a mound of mangled bodies
Ooooo is that a K.K Slider i spy
I don’t know whether to be scared of frightened.
aren’t those the same thing?
Mom please.
OMG does the old egg hatching trick work from R/S/E??
Where you walk up to one of those sand hills and try to climb it, but fall down? Before you used to accumulate steps for that.
I just got reminded by trying to go up one with an acro bike at the top of route 111 😛
Beat Maxie, now I’m gonna take on the hottest Gym Leader in Hoenn.
Wattson?
Nah its obviously Wallace. He’s HAWT! 😛
Finally… Gardevoir. that took a while.
Oooooo that reminds me has anyone dabbled in a Secret Base?
Winona’s Pelipper is really getting on my nerves. Protect aerial ace every other turn and then roost.
Finally got rid of it…
