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
Guys got a Misty Terrain Ralts and a Fell Stinger Surskit
Can anyone please tell me – when can you trade? Some people are saying as soon as you get the dex, others are saying you need to get to petalburg and get the playnav first. Which is it? Because I was planning to transfer eggs over as my team…
You need to get the Playnav. Coz it gives you the PSS.
So before that you can’t even do a wireless non-internet trade? or use Bank?
I didn’t try bank. But I did try to trade from my Y.
Ok, thank you 🙂
It seemed you could use bank after even starting the game, but I waited until i got the pokedex to send my pokemon over :3
Everything went fine then
Guys, OR or AS
I love team Aqua,but i like Groudon wayy more than kyogre which game should i buy
Think of it this way, Aqua are the “good guys” in OR… 😉
^This.
That’s why I also got OR. I also love Groudon.
So, is it bad that i skipped all the gym trainers in Wallace’s gym last night? I just really did not want to mess up on those ice puzzles
The ice puzzle will become solid once you done it and reached the stairs. So you only need to fail at the last one and fight everyone at the basement.
Well it’s ok, you can get experience and money elsewhere anyway.
It was a dark and stormy night at the route outside the Weather Institute… and Latias was owning everyone left and right with Surf…
Meanwhile, May’s Wailmer one shot my Swellow with a crit Water Pulse… 😉
Well i finally decided on a team going forward so spent most of the morning training it up and catching more pokemon for the dex… just got my 4th gym badge!
Play Time: 17 Hours 45 Minutes
Badges: 4
Total Pokemon Caught: 75
Team:
– Swampert Lvl: 39
– Masquerain Lvl: 39
– Shroomish Lvl: 37
– Manectric Lvl: 35
– Torkoal Lvl: 31
– Swablu Lvl: 26
Time to go and see the father…
That’s a cool looking team.
Hmm… no particular HM user?
Thanks and no not really… Swampert knows Strength and will know Surf. Torkoal knows Rock Smash and thats it.
wait why isn’t shroomish evolved? 0-0
One Word… Spore. Learns it at Lvl: 40. then i evolve it and re-learn Mach Punch using Heart scale.
ah so your like that streamer XD
Hmm? I just want spore since i’m completing the dex and it makes it easier to catch pokemon… particularly legendaries plus it will be a massive help at the league. I mean honestly if you are using Breloom you have to have spore.. you just have to 😛
the leaker who stream oras 2-3 days before oras (nam was ptken i believe) had a shroomish and kept stopping it from evolving and we were all confused till we realized he did it so he can get spore
Ahhh him. Oh yeah so he did except i wasnt confused lol. I always stop it so it can learn spore so i knew what he was doing 😛
Just beat wallace and trying out soar which is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My team now is
Jade my sceptile
Glace Gallade
Voltage Luxray (dexnav can do wonders 0-0(
Neo Aggron
Riptide Sharpedo
now the last slot is probably drag algae or salamence since we don’t need fly after gym 8
dexnav is definitely one o th best additions
Dexnav is one of the worst additions because it is costing me so much time and makes me go wanting to sneak up on everything! So addictive.
I’m fighting the rest of the trainers on the water routes before I go face the Elite Four and i feel bad because my team is in the 60s and they’re only late 30s….
Just reached Fortree City after a dark and stormy night outside the Weather Institute.
Time played: just over 22 hours (includes some idle time and listening to music)
46 Swellow “Swoop”
46 Toggle
44 Steven’s Metang
38 Latias
44 Linoone
39 Linoone
No thanks to Latias I had to bench the third Linoone. All the pickups were benefitting me a lot.
Ninja Boy Lung and Black Belt Nob though.
Badges: 3
Play Time: 15:50
Marshtomp lvl 31
Kirlia lvl 27
Swellow lvl 28
Loudre lvl 21
Going to Mt. Chimney right now
Can you get Gardevoirite before the post game?
It’s in a house in Verdanturf I think, after you get the mega bracelet, you ask one of the ladies. I think. Not sure, just saw it on a stream. Guy had Megardevoir in E4.
Thanks! Wally’s cousin Wanda has it I just had to make sure it wasn’t post game
you can get gardevoirite before post game
galladite completely after everything :/
also there isn’t a dawn stone in the game
Secret Super Training? The Gallade regime?
thats the only way i mean through game exploration and such
Yes, I was starting to super train my Kirlia then transferred a garchomp of mine over from bank and got it that way.
bank can’t hold items m8
I meant I just did the Super Secret training with Garchomp, since it was already EV trained
I was peed about that so I just got a female Ralts. You get the Dawn stone from Gallade super training I heard
It was that way for X and Y too.
i mean through game exploring and such nnot including super training
Fifth Gym Done!
Play Time: 18 Hours 24 Minutes
Badges: 5
Total Pokemon Caught: 76
Team:
– Swampert Lvl: 40
– Masquerain Lvl: 40
– Shroomish Lvl: 38
– Manectric Lvl: 36
– Torkoal Lvl: 33
– Swablu Lvl: 29
Now that i have access to Surf, Strength and Goof Rod im gonna do some more catching before heading to Fortree.
Question for someone who has beaten the game. Can you give me a general idea of what level Steven’s pokemon are, without giving the actual levels, so i know how long to train?
If the demo leaks are to be followed, more than 55.
Aren’t your pokes in the 60’s? XD
Yeah but Steven is the only Champion I’ve ever had a hard time with, so I’m going to be even more prepared, especially around that Mega Metagross
The streamer I watched lost 4 Pokemon to Megagross… 😉
You better listen to Scar…
Steven was hard, when I was little he used win so much it made cry XD That’s how hard he was lol
Same here! But then again I only had a level 60 Sceptile and nothing else xD
Same with Swampert and everything else as in the early to late 30’s XD
Sceptile is a baaaaaad matchup against Metagross. Yeah, you may need some other Metagross slayer…
highest poke is 59
Thanks! This is a good marker for me.
Day three, still no Boomburst Taillow. ANd no Giga Drain/Brave Bird Zubat.
Welp, I gotta go my assignments anyways, but I’ll be back on ASAP.
Haha. Dat underline. 🙂
AS – AlphaSapphire also As Soon in As Soon As Possible. 😉
Soooo i caught a Sealeo
But that was before i learned that i could’ve searched for on with Signal Beam….
you do realize you can click the sealeo button in shoal cave and keep insta searching for it till you do right?
Do i did not, i barely understand how that thing works
All i know it beeps when a Rustling Spot appears and they tell me what it has, but most of the time its either gray or it just has nothing i want
What does signal beam do?
its a Special Bug Move of a Base 75
Good for Grass coverage and even better for facing a Psychic Type Gym
One of my favorite Bug-type moves. Bug Buzz is another special move I like. X-Scissor is one of the two physical Bug moves that I like. The other is Megahorn because RAW POWER!
so happy i can use luxray in oras
Oh yeah, Flannery… those hot moves…
Ha, ha, I see what you did there.
So for some extra training, I’m battling the secret base trainer with lv 100 Blisseys using a lucky egg and the exp share.
*Whisting* Raking in dem Exps, huh?
Yep! Preparing for the Elite four!
My HM Slave just 2 shot Flannery’s ace. Oh god Exp. Share, what have you done?
Save us time? Or it probably knows Rock Tomb…
But it’s an HM Slave… It’s a Linoone… My other Pokemon weren’t doing anything to it…. and it was a physical attack too.
I’m boxing that thing.
Yeah, box that exp share 🙂
What’s your level range? XD
Low 30’s
Does anyone wanna share base QR codes later?
BOOYAAA SIGNAL BEAM SEALEO
GG.
I want that.
Hopefully it has a Special Nature (i haven’t caught him yet)
OH YEAH CRITICAL CATCH!!!
Also it used Rest so cross your fingers its nature is good
Gonna get fly soon. Almost time to do backtracking…
Wow everyone’s so far I just beat Archie at Mt. Chimney XD
I’ve been exploring everything and doing contest
Kekeke, I did contest too.
F that Master Rank… forever second place… XD
The thing with Chaz and Macherie is so funny XD
He’s forever friendzoned by Lisia
Haha spoilers. But yeah, I would only know what happened if I Mastered (heh) all the contests.
Can’t even crush one Master Rank. But I’ll get them all just like before!

Her levels are mid 20’s.
