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’ve decided to use Poke Amie to beat the Elite 4 I keep losing to Steven that fucking Cradily…
I’ll use my future Aggron’s Iron Head to deal with that prehistoric weed
My Team isn’t the best against him
Maxie(Camerupt Lv.51)
Sharknado(Sharpedo Lv.48 {Puts is a good amount of work})
Loudmouf(Exploud Lv.51(Hm Slave XD)
Y so serious(Crobat Lv.56 (Puts in the most work) Plantasauras(Sceptile Lv.57)
Damn i’m losing this great hurren race
Granted i’ve been busy but that’s no excuse!!!
Lol Imma be stuck for a while but hopefully My pokes will love me enough to survive with 1 hp etc all that lovey duvy bs
I don’t see it as a great Hurrn race, I’m taking the game at my own enjoyment regardless of what others do xD
I’m trying to do that but I am so excited for Super Secret Bases!
that doesn’t quell the voices in my head
All i hear is everyone getting ahead whilst I myself is falling behind
Me too XD
I just beat Wattson
well i just beat May in Lilycove and now heading to Mt. Pyre
Same XD I’m almost to Fallabor
ORAS and YouTube got me so busy. Waddup?
Training my Vibrava and Lairon on Mt. Pyre
So I just experienced a glitch on the route West of Mauville. I had been on my bike, and when I got off, I was stuck in X/Y 8-grid movement rather than free roam. I reset, and it was still like that, so I got on and off my bike and I was back in free roam again. So if this happens to anyone else, I hope this helps
I don’t even have a Pokemon Lv 20 yet and I’m in Mauville lmfao
PokeNav is the main blame for me XD
Well for me taking a long time
I was like that too but you’re ok
Am I over leveled?
Highest level 24 at Wattson
No EXP Share
Same
My highest at Wattson was 23 so I don’t think so XD I’m on my way to Fallabor Contest wasted most of my time
TC how and where did you find Nosepass?
Who else doing contest?
Ehhh
I am mainly saving it for later but I am trying them out
That’s why it’s taking me so long to get badges, contest are time wasters but fun XD
I sold my Cool Clothes for Skank Money
10/10 would buy
The Clothes or the floozies?
Just to know
After finishing 4th in my first contest, I’m gonna save that for the post-game and creat move specific strategies
Me too
My Skitty and I are almost to Master Cute Contests 🙂
I have Hyper Cute and Cool Ranks. And Tough Super Rank
Just did the Super rank beauty contest and won with my Masquerain.
Gotta get dat Milotic bruh
The only thing I wish wasn’t in ORAS was the frequent teleporting after beating certain gyms or fulfilling certain requirements.
Part of the difficulty in RS was going from place to place, no matter how hard or tedious it was.
Anyways….
Gym Badges: 3
Team:
Marshtomp lv29
Skitty lv28
Nuzleaf lv28
Kirlia lv26
Electrike lv24
My brother is up to the 6th gym but he doesn’t read the text. He is completely ignoring the story just to get to the post game :/ I keep telling him to take his time and read but he is reluctant.
And sneaking up on rare pokemon is my life.
What do you mean teleport?
After beating the Petalburg Gym, Wally teleports you and him to the Fortree exit of Mauville City.
After beating the Lavaridge Gym, May teleports you and her to Petalburg City.
Etc.
The Laviaridge one is ok but after I beat Petalburg I like to vs the trainers on the water routes..
Just a heads up
Yes Sneaking works inside Mt. Pyre as a puff of ghastly smoke
Is it possible to reset our contest stats so we can aim to get a Master Rank Ribbon in every contest? Or is it just like the originals, what you give it is what you stay with
Apprently you can’t catch nose pass :/
You can… but it took me about 100 rock smashes to find one but they are there.
Really?
Because the pokedex says uncatchable
The pokedex and the NavDex do not register special encounters such as rock smashes for some reason… trust me though they are there.

QR code for a trainer with 5 level 100 Blissey’s with only Healing Wish.
Wait a sec…
So we can’t assign Pokemon we want to our underlings?
no
OH YEAH
AGGRON!!!!!
My Anorith is only two levels away from evolving!
Finally done watching back-to-back movies. Back to AS!!
(And some coding…)
How do you go to someones base?
If you want to go to a specific person’s base, QR code. If it’s just anyone, connect to pss and you should get a pop-up in the tv app
Thanks
So if I want to go to say, Menacing’s secret base, do I have to get a QR Code from him? How do you even make a QR code
Yeah, you get a QR code from wurmps. You can make a QR code via the secret base pc. It saves a pic to your SD card so you can use whatever to post it.
I dunno how to post a QR code from my SD card D: Do I take the SD card out or something? I honestly have no idea, and I probably sound retarded
nintendo has services that allow you to post it from your 3ds to twitter, you can just send it to wherever from there. I’m pretty sure you can just take it out and put in a pc and upload too
Ok thank you! 😀
You are already Welcome sweetie 😡
Is the E4 hard or something?
I see a couple of people say they’ve lost a couple times…
The Hoenn E4 is pretty challenging. If you don’t get your hand held by the EXP Share they can be really irritating
Makes sense. It was hard in the original 😛
I thought it was hard, and I had exp share on. I skipped about 30 trainers, though
Im still getting rekt 😀
The Hoenn E4 has always been one of the hardest to beat mainly due to the types and level curve in Hoenn.
Hordes are amazing for getting your DexNav level up 😀
Is Ralts catchable in Hordes?
Yes on Route 102.
I’m so jealous of all you >.>
Go0d
i think u didn’t jealous of me .
Remember, the longer we wait, the more enjoyable the games will be for us, while everyone else breeds their competitive teams. >:D
So does anybody know how to make a iPhone charger STOP working. Discreetly
Cut the cord
