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









We should have a Pokejungle 12 Days of Holidays (Not just for Christmas!) leading up to a Holiday Extravanganza!
Someone get Paul in on this or something!
wiiiiiiiiwishyouamerrychristmas!!!
I Whiscash you a Merry Christmas.
I JUST GOT THE MOST AMAZING IDEA
Santa Whiscash?
WHISCASH EVeRYTHIFJNSIFNSDOKAL
Wait until the next games.
= Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Christmas Bash.
“Wii Wish You A Merry Christmas”
*Wii (wish) U A Merry Smashmas
YAS
WII WISH U A SMASHING CHRISTMAS
I look forward to discovering new formes and Megas being discovered by hackers next month. :3
Next week*
Even better!
I will hunt down all the hackers and order them to pretend Mega Whiscash is real and everyone will believe it and that will force GameFreak to make Mega Whiscash.
It’s the master plan.
Do that with Mega Milotic too. JK I’m actually fine if Milotic doesn’t get a Mega now that I have the games.
Milotic’s too good to get a Mega or two in ORAS.
Wait until the next games.
Kalos, the Region of Beauty.
She’s meant to get her Mega(s) in the next games.
EDIT: next games
Then again Gyardos got one
But Gyarados isn’t beautiful.
I’ll put them all in a room and give them Oreos and water.
Not milk.
Water.
That is pure evil
Exactly.
They won’t be let out until they discover everything in the code.
Oh My God.
SOARING CAN BE REGISTERED!!!!
Ok so i froze Deoxys… I hope I can get it this time..
I wish GBA sounds was in the game
Their not in? :'(
Is there even a Game Freak headquarters in this game?
Fan Club in Lilycove
I loved the one in Castelia City. It was a full-blown office building, probably similar to the one in real life.
I need to get the Castelia City Model for my non-existent base.
DLC:
I want The Battle Frontier and 3 more megas to come in the DLC
and GBA Sounds
And Primal Whiscash
Primal Bidoof
How long does freeze last? I have gone a solid ten turns without Deoxys thawing
It can go for a really long time.
Dangit. Just thawed out.
I remember IAMTHELEAKER said there’d be a new move that guarantees Freeze 100% of the time. I wish that was true.
Every turn 10% to thaw out
So it can never end
20%*
When I was younger, I remember seeing a really old video of a guy in Sapphire that had a Kyogre frozen for a good 30-40 turns.
I saw that video too!
Illuminati confirmed.

I just caught it YASSSS
I killed mine with a crit -.-
I kept resetting… having to catch Rayquaza three more times… I know that feeling.
So how do you increase the level of the DexNav?
You have to catch the pokemon?
Just encounter xD
Oh …
Encounter and defeat
You can run away from it though
The experience
So, I’ve a stupid question. Is it final that there’s no new mega?
Yes
Right now? Yes, but there is still the possibility of DLC for these games.
Wait have the OrAs files been hacked yet?
Not until hackers leak hidden Megas and new formes.
Not sure if hax rate is higher or if I think it is because I’ve been playing a game where you know what status will effect you….
I just made the organize box option move to the top of the list by talking to Lanette. This will come in handy when I’m button mashing A lol
I keep forgetting I did that and then end up clicking withdraw pokemon everytime.
Same omg
very annoying
Hello Button Mashing A Lol.
*sigh*…..Y is this a thing now????? lol
It’s the Iggy-itis.
I beat Steven and the League! I’m so excited for the post-game…Delta Episode, Masuda Method, shiny hunting, DexNav-ing, Pokedex Completion, an hopefully competitive battling!
inb4 Hello So Excited For The Post-Game
I’m sorry…
It’s cool to see other surfing trainers
I’m sad I won’t b using one of the special Pokemon that show up in the over world and have special traits…..
I have a sharpedo 😀
I see him when I dive
I might use Sharpedo in my next play thru
Everyone saying there are no new megas confirmed as far as I have seen project pokemon hasn’t leaked the roms for OrAs completely yet soo.
People have already beaten the games tho and the way I c it if no one has found at least one new one there prolly aren’t any……tis unfortunate
Wait till next Friday and we’ll see
wat should happen next Friday ??
Should i choose Chikorita or Totodile?
Cyndaquill.
-_- I don’t believe that was one of the options…
Chikorita is a good starter
Totodile
Bayleef
Bayleef4Smash
Just made it to Mount Pyre. Chime time, you squirrels.
I caught every Pokemon there except Chimecho o_o
I have every obtainable land pokemon from every route so far
Now I’m off to catching every pokemon in the dex!
Well i made it to Wallace
I am going to enjoy crushing him so much i’m only going to use one Pokemon and if i fail i’ll quit the battle
So in mt. Pyre there is a hex manic that says: “You’re not the one…….Ah….”
Remind anyone else of the ghost girl in lumose?
*trying to sneak up on hidden pokemon. One space away. Tentacool encounter one space from the hidden poke.* khrheiuhfiuwdbfiuberihfn
Finally, Galladite! I’ve been waiting for this
After the post-game(Delta episode) I plan on going bac kthrough and catching very pokemon i did not chatch in every area.
This is what I’m doing now. I’m glad i chose to do it this way too, because I really wanted to view the updated story!
updated? o.o
Well i beat Wallace with Swampert alone
In fears if i might’ve failed i would’ve said if i lost Swampert i’d reset my game entirely
Oh and if anyone has Salbeyite, iwould be willing to trade Mawileite for it.
I found it and tossed it into the magma chamber Groudon slept in
Every mega stone is in each game.
No exclusives.
Except Charizard’s and Mewtwo’s stones.
Not exclusives either!
Nope. They’re all in in both.
Huh. So the only difference between these two games, is that some pokemon are exclusive? I was hoping for more variety, like B2W2.
Pretty much. but some people like it, because they can only get one game at a time, but want to get the mega stones.
That makes sense, but I want GF to make things very exclusive again. I miss that. There’s still hope for the next games.
What??
The difference between them is that you battle different teams and they have a different story.
non.
