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

Djja: Okay!
*Sends out primordial whale demon*
So who here again has gotten the gardevoirite?
If you did when did you (before beating the E4, before 6th gym, immediately after getting lati@s, etc.)
You guys play through the game too fast, I just got to Mauville, lol
I got it midnight release :^)
An i’ve been only sleeping 2 hours a night to play
I’m in Norman’s gym lol
Omg wait for me
I am almost there
I had my 4th badge for a while I’ve just been in the trick house for a long time
Im decorating my ssb
I defeated him and now I’m searching pokemon with egg moves :3
i am too im finding mad non hoenn dex pokes XD
Dex nav = best thing
it really is
is it also confirmed it helps with shiny
You play too slow*
I’m still in Johto
Honestly the Dex Nav looks like the best new feature.
It’s the best anything
From the best Region
From the best series
its like crack in gameplay form
Best Bottom screen in all of Pokemon
I love how it reacts to pokemon flying by too
makes me feel like ashnime ash
It better stay…. idc it a such a great feature for many games to come
idk…
I hope it does too, but The PokeNav is Hoenn only
Sometimes I forget wht I’m doing because I dex nav for so long
I know it was in R/S/E but it improved so much it should stay
I’m still confused on how to use it 😛
n33d tutorial
I get that your search level goes up relative to how many of that pokemon you’ve seen, but i don’t get how to actually search for a pokemon… For example, im at Route 118 and i haven’t caught Keckleon (but i’ve seen it), and i can’t search for it. Is there any way to search for it using some other method?
I think you have to have caught one first. Then you can search for them
10 mintues im trying to catch this chatot…. its like godly
Wha do you guys use Dex Nav for?
For every Pokemon in each route?
Pokemon going on your team?
Who*
I use it like Crack heads
I used it for pokemon on my team, but after i finish the delta episode, I’ll use it to complete the dex
Everything
Ughhhhh i can’t find the Undersea Cave
it always takes me soooooo long to find
So…has anyone confirmed if/if not the old sandy hill egg hatching trick (from R/S/E) still works?
What’s that?
Those sandy hill ledge things that you can only ride up w/mach bikes. If you run up one (just by walking/running/using an acro bike), it would count as stepping. You would slide down and repeat the process, thus not needing to actually move anywhere. Really handy for afk hatching/leveling up pokemon (in day-care) 😛
yup it does
I think someone said it here it works
I mentioned it earlier but nobody replied then 😛
Oh Oops 😛
Srry
I don’t think it is as fast though
I was right Mega Sharpedo when he uses a special attack his fangs flare out!
Thanks spetz really appreciate it!
Is there a breeding route. The one in RSE went through Mauvile but that wouldn’t work now because of Mauviles redesign
In post game there’s the battle resort, which has the day care and IV checker all in one
So there are 2 Day cares?
yes
Cos one day care is too mainstream for Hoenn
I’m in Sea Mauville right now (just beat Wallace, but I’m touring around Hoenn before Victory Road), and there’s a magazine under a messy bed called “The Fame and the Shame: Champions Exposed!” I wonder if Cynthia has a page…
Oh I have a deep hate for Cynthia.
Lol. This sounds like an epic gossip magazine.
I know, right? And in the opposite room, there’s a magazine called “What you need to know about unemployment”
WAIT HOW DO YOU GET INTO THE ROOM WITH THE GOSSIP MAGAZINE IT HAD BLOCKS IN FRONT OF IT
There were no blocks…you have to use Dive to get to the Room 6 area.
No, I got into the “feels like someone is watching you place”
Oh yeah, it’s in the room almost directly opposite of that one.
How to get there?
You know where that room is that you went to? It’s the next door on that hallway.
oh
“This womyn was first female champion but then gf threw her in any game they could and now she’s stale and pays for her child’s education by selling herself”
This is verrrrry different in Japanese
what is it in japanese tell immediate
Where can I buy a copy?
Im testing out if this shiny dexnav theory is true wish me lucks
Ok so I give up on Inferno Slugma…….I’m just gonna use the Eruption Torkoal I got instead
You were still looking? :O
I actually gave up a few hrs ago. It was too annying to have to recharge the search on the dexnav ……so I took a break to eat lunch lol
The game corner in Mauville made me sad 🙁 I was thinking there would just be no game corner at all…but when I walked up and it was closed off and the owner was there I felt so bad for him. As the owner says, “times have changed”. RIP.
Yeh times have changed. In other words ‘people have become sensitive little ******’
Europe why
soccer moms……
Ill have to ease my gambling addiction somewhere else then
If only they gave wonder trade the game corner music ;-;
That would have been amazing…maybe mature rated future DLC for game corner?? xD
