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
My first Mega Evolution of the game! Mega Manectric = Beast <3
It’s great they give us a couple of stones pretty early. Has a lot of variety possible…
Yeah. I think the point at which you can Mega Evolve is more suitable in this game also.. i thought that XY gave it to you too early.
I just noticed when May asks you if you wanna go somewhere with her like Mauville she’ll teleport you. Good thing I said no
DELCATTY HOLY CRAP IT CUTE CHARMS ME THEN SINGS ME
The HAX in this game are so nostalgic though <3
That reminds me… I want to breed an Axew and use it in my second play through of OR.
Winona’s Gym looks so low tech now, and the sliding door puzzles aren’t as hard as before…
its better then Mossdeep
ITS SO SLOW
I think it is supposed to present a more rural vibe.
Yeah it was like a factory before… now that was kinda out of place in a treehouse town…
I don’t like how they did Granite Cave either
I LOVED it.
But you could just walk right in where was the rest of the cave you have to get a bike to explore the rest but I’m too lazy foor that
Yeah. That’s why I liked it. You could choose if you wanted to explore or not.
I chose to explore.
It’s as if the hax was with me this gym, Dragonbreath paralyzed almost everything that survived… I think the next gym will make me pay for this good luck…
Nope I heard it’s just Solrock and Lunatone
Oh. Double Surf then… 😉
But I was just saying I might be the victim of hax next time. I bet Latias would crit my Swampert with Surf.
I’m so in love with contests
Same 😀
I’m really not interested…
I’m a bit jaded after my “forever second place” performance in Cool Masters.
But I’ll be back!
I found a shiny level 27 Swablu at route 114 using Dexnav. I was pumped. My team (Just beat Norman)
Lv. 36 Sceptile
Lv. 36 Metang
Lv. 36 Altaria (shiny)
Lv. 36 Sharpedo
Lv. 36 Camerupt
Your team is very similar to mine xD
Ha Beat the Twins with one attack each!
Critical Flygon Crunch and a Massive Aggron Iron Head!
And that makes Badge Number 7!
OMG The Victory Road theme <333
Try it with headphones you’ll orgasm
EVEN BETTER!
GG Norman. Power-Up-Punch Sableye and Metang were too much for you, it seems.
Norman gives you Retaliate… interesting.
He is salty about his loss to his offspring.
In his mind, he’s doing Ganondorf’s flame choke on him.
Found an appropriate pic to celebrate this occasion…

Thankfully i still have the Adamant Fire Punch Thunder Punch Groudon in X
But i don’t plan on using Primal Groudon a lot

Going good so far!

Just got dive and i’m gonna go explore the deep
Should I chain fish for Shiny Barboach… should I?
YES or dexnav chain it
But this is my casual play through… maybe I will on my next play through.
dexnav IS casual tho
You can only find Barboach by fishing. Not Dexnav.
I thought once you fished one you can use Dexnav to search for it?
How does that work? Please explain.
Click on the pokemon’s icon and search. Sometimes it works. For on-the-water Pokemon they will pop out from the water so you better have surf, though.
I do.
Then you’re as good as golden!
sea mauville is so tricky to understand. i went looking for ice beam but instead got freakign spritomb and a confused mind
The ice beam tm is in a room with 8 big nuggets and 6 regular nuggets 0_0
0-0 damn how did you get there?
i got only room key 1 lol
you need dive don’t you?
yep but i have dive
You just have to keep running around and using dive. Eventually, you’ll get the storage key
i did that lol, guess il keep trying
Also talk with NPCs and interact with cabinets, keys are hidden there.
OH thats what i missed that freaking cabinets
Yep. there’s also a room with two girls in it who said they locked the door for a reason…
And one was blushing…
LOL is this supposed to be a haunted house or something!
Ice Beam and Nuggets you say?
Sound the perfect place to explore with dive
If any of you live near Nintendo World in New York City, I would suggest going there today.
And, if I were you, I would bring a copy of the original Pokemon Ruby or Pokemon Sapphire.
Totally no reason. No reason at all.
Not like if you’re the first 250 people to do this you’ll get a free copy of OR or AS or anything like that.
I do but I live in St.Louis ;-;
Does it count if you bring a copy of Pokemon Emerald?
;( I lost my Sapphire.
So apparently Magma are more aggressive to the player in AS then Aqua are in OR.
I’ve only played Emerald so I wouldn’t really know…
Guys?
I remember you from the old days of PokeJungle…
“The old days of Unova”.
Yeahh, that’s me!
Aqua are the villains in Sapphire/AS, if that’s what you mean.
Nope, Team Magma is VERY rude to you.
Yea because Maxie wasn’t that mean in the original Sapphire XD
What I mean to say is as the non-villainous team, are Magma and Aqua portrayed any differently. So in OR, Aqua are the non-villainous team and magma for AS.
Someone was saying that Magma are more aggressive as the N-V team.
If so that may influence my decision to get AS.
I think I’m finally get the hang of using the dexnav’s search system. The only problem I have is that u have to charge it or wait for it or whatever……..really annoying at the very least it could give u a few searches b4 saying it can’t find anything….
I’m only on the e4 ;~;
Damn, this game has THE best story in the series.
Like there isn’t even a contest.
The awakening scene and shelly and every thing and the intenseness of the flood
literally too perfect
Haha dang I’m vsing Flannery right now
Only on the E4?????? I’m in freakin Friery Path!!!!! lol
Also today I learned that Blizzard and Dragon rush have 100% accuracy
i just beat Liza and Tate and now exploring Sea Mauville and then New Mauville
“Only” <3
Meteor Falls yeah
No…?
ONLY?!?!?!?!? I’m still training in Victory Road!
I thought you said you were taking your time xD
I got it midnight release thursday lel
Same Djja and I have 22:00ish and am at the 4th gym xD
Can you send pokemon from X and Y to pokemon OR/AS without poke bank?
Yes, through trade.
You have to use pokebank?
That’s what I heard on YouTube.
Don’t listen to the people that comment on Youtube……they don’t kno nothin lol
Ikr, I wanted to make sure that he was talking bullshit. 🙂
You need 2 3DS’es and you can trade normally.
oh thanks, i saw someone telling that it’s the only way YouTube (comment section).
Wow everyone is so far
I am not even in Fallarbor town xD
#Chillin
I thought me and you were going at the same pace XD
Where are you at?
Just beat Flannery.
We are. Training for Flannery rn
I know right? I’ve been trying to build up the number on Slugma in Firey path so I can find one with inferno lol
I need a Slugma for dex ;~:
It’s hard bc it’s not the most likely Pokemon to show up normally, but at least it’s easier than Torkoal lol
Actually they both are 10% in Fiery path
Ah…….well then I’m upset bc I think since I switched from my goal being Torkoal to Slugma my Torkoal appearances have gone up……..lol
I’m in Mauville, just got surf. Trying to catch a Barboach.
