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









Are Thundurus, Tornadus, and Landorus in this game?
Every legendary that isn’t an Eventmon and is catchable in XY (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde) is in it.
Deoxys is catchable though.
Yes. Tornadus in OR and Thundurus in AS.
Thundurus and Tornadus are version exclusive, and you need both to get Landorus. So you’ll have to transfer one from B/W/B2/W2 i think :c
Aqua vs Magma in a nut shell. (Rf)
I’m dying because this is almost exactly what happened in Alpha sapphire
Although alpha sapphire does have the best story in the series.
Wow I love the battle scene for Meteor Falls lol
I’m trying to take this extra weeks wait one day at a time, but each day feels like a year…. I’m working Friday so I’ll get it in work and play it literally all through the night till Saturday and bring it to work Saturday aswell 😛
I believe I just won a super rank cool contest with My Mega Sceptile’s Spectacular Talent!: Fresh Flower Garden!
*won 😉 and congrats 🙂
just one?
just won ;-;
I edited it before you could make your comment… But not fast enough for you to see it i guess…
oh well 😛
You do any contest with Milotic yet?
Not yet, still trying to find another Beautiful move to give it. But I will definitely try it out soon
I’m liking Route 118’s music
It’s too bad there aren’t as many double battles as Emerald
XD I remember the times where where two trainers and I always tried to perfectly time it for them both to see me to have a double battle
I finally got Omega Ruby!
U’ll LOVE IT!!!!!
The mount pyre theme. <3
I love that!
The exterior them is awesome
The peak right?
Yes perfect for Chimecho hunting.
The Hyper Rank Contest was a pretty close call, Luckily we were able to Mega evolve and steal the show once more!
Just got the Mega Bracelet I’m so ready
Ew I’m battling Swimmer Dawn
Can I drown her?
No one will miss her
No
Reminder that this is and will forever be the best battle theme in pokemon history.

YES
Why was Zinnia so good?
I hope she appears in the ashnime because her lore is so deep it needs to spread onto a new type of media
Or her own Movie
Or her own game that follows the lore of the many alternate universe of Pokemon.

How many Super-Secret-Bases can you own at once? 🙂
Just one
1 🙁
WHAT
just as its always been
I think they do this bc the bases r in specific places and if u own all of them how will other people’s bases b shown? lol
does any one have the piano version of the rival encounter theme?
I’m trying to find Route 118’s theme
utuber has all of them, but I’m not sure what it’s called
Badge number 7; Obtained!
My team will be so bad but I’ll love it so much.
Whatcha got?
Torkoal, Swellow, Swampert, and I’m hunting Chimecho.
just got the eight badge, only logged 14 hours. does that seem a little short to anyone? also the game seems really easy to me, i did a nuzlocke for my first run and only had 1 death at the beginning
XY gave us 40….
Yeah despite what people say about XY, it gave us a pretty decent run time in story game……it’s just the post game that lacked…..
I’m on Route 118 close to Fortree and am logged 23:58
This game is just so enjoyable
i wish i had taken that long, it seems real short to me
I’m just exploring things taking it slow and doing contest
Don’t let may and wally teleport you
I got 8 badges in 40 hours c:
I think it’s hard. I was destroyed by Winonna. My Sceptile’s Dual Chop strangely seemed to be doing less and less damage… really strange…
Went searching for Ralts and found one on my first try.
Same.
First encounter on Route 102.
I have a question
When I killed deoxys, they said to fell to route 131, where do I find it?
WAT
You mean I could have gotten it there this whole time instead of resetting again and again?
yes
It’s at the Sky Pillar to answer your question. It’s the only logical place
There are only two pokemon you are forced to catch
I know, but I really wanted to catch Deoxys…
NL where is it
“Sky Pillar you dummy”
Yes Sly
Which two would those be?
Spoiler:
Lati@s and Rayquaza. Everything else is rematchable
Wait, where would you rematch Groudon/Kyogre?
face e4 then return back to cave of origin
what happens if you murder rayquaza like the little bitch it is?
does it start over?
They act like it never happened
oh my god that’s too great
Yes
Thanks :3
Guess i don’t need to worry about soft resetting for a lot of things (including Deoxys) now :3
Rayquaza i can do on OR when i get it, and Lati@s i can do whenever (hopefully) i get the eon ticket
I SR’d for ray, it wasn’t THAT hard but it was pretty difficult. The thing that sucks is you can’t tell if it’s 31 or 30 iv just by looking at it’s stat, so you pretty much have to endure what happens after you catch it, and you have to either go to mr.judge or invest ev’s to actually check if it’s 31 or not. I was lucky and got a hp attack defense speed 31 sp.def 30 one
Oh im Sring for shinies 😛
Oh, that shouldn’t be as hard then lol
Ugh soooo much work
Can I use your Mold Breaker/Unnerve or what ever you used Pokemon?
you can yes
Thaaanks
I wouldn’t know.
I’m only on Norman.
Sky pillar you dummy
stop hurting me ;~;
The form change meteorites are in that town above meteor falls
Fallabor
thanks for being such a babe
In Prof. Cozmo’s house
sureee
He has a meteor on display that changes Deoxys forms.
SUREEE
Ok
You have to beat the Elite Four again apparently

I need someone on Youtube to Hurry Up and confirm The Loss of shiny lock
There was a picture below of a shiny Latias
I mean For other legendaries like Thundurus and Dialga and such
Oh right my bad
probably not
I’m guessing that if lati@s are not shiny locked the other BST 580 and 600 are not
Well apparently shiny Rom/Ram are tradeable so I’m gonna say that shiny lock on the legendaries might not be on
(Source is 4chan so take it with a pinch of salt)
we know of Lati@s :3
I think most of us are concerned about the other ones (*cough* Reshiram/Zekrom *cough*)
Magnemite Hordes are in New Mauville right?
Yes And Route 110
Where do you find Feebas again?
Route 119 with the good rod
Route 119, fishing w/any rod.
Good luck they’re supposedly like a 1% chance now or something, but that whole certain tile thing is gone now
Do you need super rod for consecutive fishing?
I don’t know if consecutive fishing is even a thing in ORAS
haven’t gotten to the super rod yet
I want to reset for the legendaries but I think I might get the Shiny Charm first then reset.
Same here. It just seems like a pain otherwise.
Yeah.
I’m not a very patient person.
If I don’t get it after like 10 tries then I won’t do it.
Scratch that, if I don’t get it after the first try I quit.
Hopefully someone will be willing to trade you those legendaries
I have every legendary ever in my X.
Shiny Charm = 4 low tier shiny hunters
and 4 pokmin mastrs
