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









Man this Relicanth won’t let me catch it!
like only 1% health and not a wiggle
Relicanth was always a snitch to catch.
well i ran out of Ultra Balls and the one and only dive ball only made 4 Wiggles
4? O_O
The Struggle is real.
AND IT USES DIVE
I understand your frustration. I’d be pissed too, and I am a relatively calm person!
Sometimes Pokemon brings out the worst in people.
I’m anything but calm honey
I’m rash, headstrong, violent, brutish and a borderline sociopath
You trying to get Regi’s?
Read like one or two posts above me…
He meant using Relicanth to get the Regis.
Ooooooooooh i forgot about that…
I hear you gotta do way more crazier stuff
Like you need a Nicknamed Regice holding either Nevermelt ice, a snowball or a Castilia cone
That’s for Regigigas
Wait, wait? That crud is real?
Uh huh, for Gigas
Does anyone know if Mirage Island is in the game?
It is.
Okay.
I caught 4 Barboach in the route. Here are their stats:
#1: Level 25, Water Pulse, Magnitude, Rest, Snore, +Defense -Sp. Def
#2: Level 25, Same Moves as #1, +Sp. Atk -Sp. Def
#3: Level 25, Hydro Pump, Magnitude, Rest, Snore, +Sp. Def -Speed
#4: Level 25, Thrash, Magnitude, Rest, Snore, Neutral Nature
I’m leaning towards #4, because I could teach it Surf as its Water Attack, plus the Neutral Nature is good for in-game. Plus, Thrash. What do you guys think?
Sure.
Name it Cashstache. :3
that money tho!
If I could find a Spark Barboach… O.o
Alright, my team is complete!

If you breeze through the game you will still be underleveled.

TC and Slips, I like that. I named my Grovyle Reptar. XD
This Swablu is taking forever to train ._.
UGHHHHHHHH its Metang all over again!!!!!!

You… don’t need to catch one right?
What’s the encounter rate for Trapinch?
10% I think?
OMG! thats disgusting!
20%

I have a solution.
Instead of the Mach and Acro Bikes:
Machro Bike.
I love that the little song that plays when you get a Mega Stone is back.
Where are you in-game?
With us
Ah, okay
And I’m falling behind, I need to go beat Flannery :<
Verdanturf. I just unblocked Rusturf Tunnel yesterday. Now I’m doing contests. Coolness Contest, Master Rank. Then I’m headed to Mt. Chimney. 🙂

Oh, so you don’t get Altarianite from Lisia? Cool, I guess.
What’s a good ability for Trapinch?
Doesn’t really matter because it all becomes levitate
Derp
The curse animation is really creepy. Phoebe just used it on me…
Now you are cursed to stay in her room forever, tied to the chair, where she does things to you…
That’s not bad
I know lol xD
Anyone have a Minun/Slugma/Torkoal I could borrow for Dex?

Well that Relicanth owes me like 20 Great and Ultra Balls

Time for me to take a nap. I’ll have to put down this game for now, sadly…
