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
why wally is s cute?
THIS MUSIC!!!!!!! I am in love
I’m gonna make a challenge for myself. I can’t heal inside a Gym, and I can’t leave to heal before the Gym Leader fight.
Just got Alpha Sapphire! I’m so excited 🙂

Whats with the you know what
It’s for Dicie.
but….you know where its from right?
No
oh nvm i’m not going to bother
TURN DOWN i got a modest treeck and female 😀 I’m keeping her
You peeps be SR for good natures and i don’t car ewhat nature i get.
i didn’t care what i got as long as it wasn’t a speed lowering nature. Besides modest treecko is luck
0-0 I legit just checked my TReecko’s nature because you got me wondering….it’s modest!
yeah sure
Hold on I”ll try and take a pic
YES TREECKO COMING THROUGH WITH THE CRIT AGAINST ROXANNE’S NOSEPASS! Last Pokemon standing, 10 HP, YES
no one cares
jk
Where are you in the game? 😀
Spending time online completely forgot about it – still in the moving truck lol
gg
Lel if you save and reset in it the location (where you continue your game) says ??? 😛
I’m in ??? then haha
My Mudkip evolved during battle
My Treecko is Lv 13 xD
Exp Share?
Not using that shit xD
I use it and I am proud!
My Marshtomp is 25
My Torchic is lvl 5
The Gym Leader defeated music, omgggggg
I’m going to SR for an hour in hopes of a shiny Mudkip
Best of luck! 🙂
Thanks! 😀
I soft reset for about 10 hours for a Rash Treecko and finally got it. No shinies ;~;
10 HOURS? O.O
Got it about 10 AM this morning xD
I JUST GAINED SO MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU.
Thanks :’D Needed it like my original xD
Why go to a midnight release then lol XD
Well I’d still be soft resetting right now then
10hrs for a nature is a lot
But for a shiny that’s nothing 😛
THIS ^^^
I was hoping I’d find a Shiny along the way xP
O_O Respect… i got lucky first time with my Mudkip and got Brave nature.
I got Hasty on my Treeko. 😀
NICE!
Yup. First try! 😀
We must be in Arceus’s good graces right now…
NICE!! 😀 I wish I had good RNG luck when it came to natures =/
I got Bold (on Mudkip)
I have no idea how good or bad that is 😛
Its not terrible… it just means it is more suited to be a defensive Swampert rather than an offensive due to the – Atk but it is workable but there are better natures.
Good Luck 😀
Thank you 😀
I’m a patient man. When I get OR, I’ll SR until I get an Adamant Mudkip. I hope it’ll be male because I’m nicknaming him Cannonbolt, and it’ll be awkward if it’s female because Cannonbolt is a guy.
Can you guys still see my gym leader tag?
Yes.
yea
nope 🙁
it doesn’t matter we treat you the same way
things jes got reel
Okay.
Maaaaayyyyyybbbeeeeee…
Yes.
I actually laughed at loud at that kid on Route 102 who is too short to be in tall grass and was sneezing 😛
ORAS best games 4lyfe
I think I may be addicted to the dex nav
I don’t blame you.
We all are. In fact, I’m using it to get the rest of my team
I CANT STOP ITS BEEN 2 HOURS AND I STILL DIDNT EVEN GET TO RUSTBORO YET
Tell me about it… once i got that Boomburst Tailow i was hooked.
Creating pokeblocks is so much easier! I love it! Everything in these games is AMAZING! I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH
Refresh it won’t let sign in in my phone right now(which is where the pic ws taken from) slips
Modest treecko
If the PokéNav+ is this good, imagine how much more awesome the Pokétch+ will be!
#SinnohPride
#I’llBeQuiet
inb4 they skip Sinnoh remakes and go straight to Unova
inb4 someone says “1,00th time this comment was made”
Xtransceiver+ Confirmed!
Yei!
I caught a Lv 15 Hammer Arm Slakoth in the Woods earlier ;~; Agreed with Deathspell, Dex Nav is an addiction, it’s such a great feature!
LEVEL 15??? Oh my goodness now I want to use the dex nav instead of contests! Such a hard choice to make!
PLEASE SEND HELP
HOW’D I KNOW SLAKOTH COULD KNOW HAMMER ARM
I was thinking to myself what if Slakoth could use hammer arm with its adorable noodles
I KNOW RIGHT
Please tell me Bagon is catchable early this time. PLEASE!!!
I’m pretty sure it isn’t… if it is I have to change my entire team xD
Pretty sure you still need waterfall..
Do we need badges to use HMs outside of battle?
Yeah and in fact Wallace gives you the HM for waterfall rather than a TM.
Darn. So much for transferring a Pokemon that knows Waterfall.
You could just transfer a Bagon from XY is you really want one… depends how pure you like to play the game.
I’m already transferring two Pokemon; a Snorunt I bred because I want the HA and Egg Move and an Electrike (shiny because I MMed it). I don’t want to transfer any more. When I catch my Bagon, I’ll grind like there’s no tomorrow. I’m a very patient man.
Good for you! 😀
So I learned my lesson about pre-orders. The projected date of delivery is between December 4th to December 13th…..
I’m not even sure if I’m getting my mega charizard plush bonus
preorders suck jagreed
I have no idea how I can shield from spoilers for 3 more weeks!
You can:
1. Play a different game (I’m playing MegaMan Battle Network 2)
2. Breed (I’m breeding my Gym Leader Team)
3. Anything else (I’m doing that too)
Yeah, I never finished Super Mario 3D world so I may do that
I literally live in the middle of nowhere so I’m always first to get a new game in my town. I don’t need to worry about them going out of stock. 😀
The only bad thing is that the GameStop never does Midnight releases because of this.
One of my friends freaking skipped school to get it!
Though I wouldn’t do that because my math and science grades are getting kinda low, but it really sucks 🙁
Since I have finals this week, school didn’t start for me until 12:30 today, so I bought OR right at 10:00 (waited in the parking lot of the ugly strip mall) and was the first person in the GameStop. I’ve been playing all day, even after I finished my Latin final and was waiting for the bus.
I’d post a South Park clip about pre-orders, but it has curse words, so I won’t post it. Basically, pre-orders are pointless.
Go ahead, now i’m curious
Just search “south park pre orders” on Youtube. It’s the first video. It’s 45 seconds long.
found it- guess I can’t argue with it
YAAASSSS Just won my first Contest spectacular!!!
I GOT A SUCKER PUNCH POOCHEYENA YES
Aw I forgot trainers have AI’s
they figured out my plan
poochy is ded ;~;
*Inb4 finds shiny Poochyena*
do it lol
Forgot how crap a moveset Seedot has…. useless if it wasn’t for Beat Up thanks to Dexnav.
Based dex nav
May’s battle music is the best rival battle music I’ve ever heard.
Playing with headphones on btw
Where do you find Sableye, does anybody know?
granite cave
First of second visit?
First
o ooooops
Granite Cave and Sablite is in Sootopolis City during the main game (AlphaSapphire only though) 😀
Can they be caught in Hordes?
Not sure actually… not that far yet to actually see for myself.
skrelp can.
HA skrelp :,)
based dex nav
I think its version exclusive to AS
Yup :^)))
CRAPPPPPPPPPPPP
So before I go back to my spoiler-free bunker, here are my nicknames for my team
Sceptile – Dart
Lopunny – Cotton
Skarmory – Aerosmith
Gardevoir – Athena
Walrein – Pebbles
Absol – Debris
You could just cancel your order and buy the games online
I dont even know if I can at this point. I am goona check though. Hopefully I can.
Yay! 😀
I think how much you are getting screwed over gives you the right to do that.
Cosplay Pikachu is so cute! I love it. Wish I could add it to my team but I already have it planned out.
I never plan my teams :^()
Planning teams gets me extra hyped for the games because I can’t wait to meet them in battle and catch them!
