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









Time to test the Sandhll theory
which is?
As Stated below
“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) :P”
YOU CAN GET AZ’S FLOETTE IN ORAS
HOENN AND KALOS CROSS OVER GAMES CONFIRMEJ
Pokemon DeltaX EmeraldY
Like event or find?
find
how!
How is this?
its flower is under the tree in sootopolis 🙂
Oooo neat lol
where
This egg doesn’t want to hatch it’s weird
The summary of the egg is staying the same
It should of changed by now
I think I got bad egg :I
Bad Egg :O
So how many people have beaten this game?
Far too many this early on lol
Seriously….. I thought people were hyped for the journey…..
Right? I haven’t even made it to Fallarbor town yet hahaha
So hyped some rushed through the game :3
I’m taking my merry old time through it c: (I’m at the east part of route 118)
i AM TOO #TWINNING
I’m leveling up before I battle Winona. Route 119 is my least favorite route ever….
I have.
Best ending to any pokemon game ever.
Like, seriously.
Just got Numel, only have 3 badges, going back to explore Granite cave with Mach Bike
And catch your next member?
Nope, I have my last two members in the PC waiting for when I can encounter them normally to finally use them xD
Team so far:
Grovyle Lv 23
Nosepass (Shhwonk) Lv 22
Minun (Lettuce) Lv 23
Numel (Sazzrupt (Sass is not allowed ;~;)) Lv 15
Linoone (Slavinator) Lv 20
Mightyena (Poochy) Lv 20
I named my latias “booty”
I have. I really enjoyed playing through the story. I was really overleveled when I got to the E4 though. I’m gonna go slower when I play through OR
I’m going slow now c:
I’m going to go even slower in OR b/c of soft-reset hunts 😛
Of the 125 unobtainable pokemon in X/Y, only Meowth and Porygon (and some event legendaries, i think) are still unobtainable in ORAS. Interestingly, a lot of the previously unobtainable ones can be found in Mirage areas (Mirage Forest, Mirage Cave, etc.) Are these mirage spots?
Meowth is unobtainable? seems like a weird poke to exclude lol
Doesn’t it? Kinda too strange…maybe it just hasn’t been found yet
It has to be obtainable. They said that you could complete the pokedex just from playing these two games.
Wasn’t Meowth in the Hoenn safari?
the only way to get it in Hoenn was through trading w/ Fr/Lg or through a trade in the… :O
Battle Frontier!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
That Mart theme is so nostalgic though ;-;
:29-:42 is the best part

I guess I will start slowing down as well and make use of my DexNav
Where are you I’m about to go against Norman
I just beat his first Gym Traier XD Go ahead and fight him
Trainer
Lol a Breloom with just Fighting-Type moves. Prey to Heartless the Sableye.
I feel as though picking mudkip is playing OR on easy mode.
Norman was just sitting and waiting for me like a beast!
I see the flower, but unfortunately, you cannot interact with it…
I’m doing a self challenge in OR. When I enter a Gym, not allowed to use potions or leave to heal. Whoever faints in the process faints, even if it’s before the Gym Leader. If I lose I lose and gotta come back to the Gym to try again xD
^^ this is what I’ve been doing, it’s fun this way! Haven’t lost yet, but my battle vs Wattson was intense. Was down to Grovyle who was parafused with 9 HP and got off a pursuit to win.
Also is anyone else being plagued by serious amounts of hax?
Me. So Nostalgic <3
Never miss blizzard :,)
Terrible RNG luck, just terrible. Took me all night and part of today to find Numel. Ran into over 40 Machop in a row with DexNav. Just wanted my Heat Wave Numel God dammit. At least in the end I got a Quiet nature one :3
What’s happening?
Every move with a secondary effect has that effect trigger unless that move is used by my pokemon.
So sorry.
Well I take that back, Turtle Powah is really adept at getting burns.
OMG YES!
Literlly every Second effect move the CPU uses the second effect always happens
I think I got poisoned with sludge literally everytime
OH MY GOD. I just entered Sky Pillar and the music that’s playing is the theme where Rayquaza flies to Sootopolis

Just beat Norman, caught a carvana and went back to Petalburg to do the water routes to Slateport
How do you increase the DexNav level using hordes?
5 encounters get added to the encounter level for that Pokemon
Must I faint all the pokemon in the horde?
Nope, just encounter
it goes up by 5 i think
>use honey/sweet scent
>Search level of that pokemon increases by 5
>profit
iirc, every pokemon on a route can be found in a horde; the horde of that pokemon being relative to its normal encounter rate (so if zigzagoon has a 60% chance of appearing, when a horde appears there’ll be a 60% chance of it being a Zigzagoon horde)
If we do have a Delta Emerald I think it’ll be like B2/W2
That’s what I said a couple days ago xD I feel like they’re prepping us for Emerald to take the shape of a sequel rather than just the “enhanced” version
…
*when
Hmmmm should i SR for a second Adamant Groudon or bring over the Fire/Thunder Punch one i have in X?
because i don’t know if i can easily check if i have a good nature (but my party’s full)
Winona I used to like you. Now go die in a hole.
Are you saying this because of the pelipper? Because if so, I know how you feel
No. Her Altaria and the constant paralysis from dragon breath.
Oh, Altaria didn’t even get to attack because i mega evolved my sceptile and killed it…
The safari zone is surprisingly good for grinding
F*ck you, Rng, f*ck you.
^This
Got myself a Sceptile RIGHT before I get the stone 😀
Third regular pokeball and i caught Rayquaza!
I’ve been leveling up my Torkoal by using an Oddish to make hordes on route 117 and bc Torkoal has eruption it’s wrecking everything lol It’s super helpful as when u battle 5 Roselia they give u a solid 700 exp per battle lol
