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!)

THAT EVIL DUSKNOIR!!!
HOW DARE YOU FREEZE MY BELOVED FLYGON WITH ICE PUNCH
I’m using the elemental fang poochyenna/mightyenna because the wolf was my high school mascot, lol. It’s small stuff like this that I couldn’t enjoy if I had planned my team. So glad I didn’t!
Did you get ORAS from the gamestop on your campus? :3
Or am i confusing that with another one again? (i dont think i am :P)
That gamestop closed over the summer! ;-;
omg wow ;~;
I was thinking about going to that college just so that i didn’t have to drive to a gamestop 😛 (or i could possibly work there)
It’s not bad though, there’s a gamestop off campus that’s a 2 minute drive or a 10-15 minute walk. ^_^
i used to think Poochyena was kinda ugly (It was a bad sprite looked block shaped)
But now thanks to the anime and the updated 3D Sprite i can see it’s youthful puppy like form
The 3d model for mightyenna is AMAZING. I’ll give it that for sure
You coulda planned using Mightyena sooo
If I planned my team, Mightyenna definitely would have NOT been considered, lol.
Because you’re uninspiring
XD TC that was Amazing XD
It was! XD Such an awesome trade, thanks! 😀
My exp o powers were better
I shall cherish this Zangoose forever ;~;
This Seviper is in Amie I love it Forever in my heart

HOENN
Hurrner?
That wasn’t a question, it was an inquiry.
So meh idk
Chip, go to college with me plz. xD
(Jk, do whatever is in your best interest and what YOU want to do, lol)
Do you have a good Microbiology/pre-med program? 😛
Not my major so I’m not too familiar with it, but there’s a LOT of pre-med and nursing, I’ll tell you that much.
Ok :3
I already know I’m going to apply there, as well as a bunch of other colleges (FSU, UF [where my brother is at :P], UCF, USF, and UM) but not any of those low tier colleges (looking at you MDC and FIU :P)
FSU psh
FSU is where all the SGA kids go, lmao.
Those sports teams tho (Well, football)
Darn Jameis Winston doesn’t deserve Heisman
Tallahassee is an ugleh place. xD
You can give someone first aid and you’ll get a degree from USF, lmao. xD Sounds like you gotta plan! All those schools are great and I know you’ll get in! And if all else fails, Florida Atlantic is calling your name. 😉
Lel i can give CPR, guess i’m getting a degree 😛
#GoBulls

Flygon easily chewed those Froslass now for the Glalie
What is considered a “strong”pokemon in order to reach fabled cave?
Level 100
Oh jeez. That’s gonna take a while.
You can just pokebank
Oh, right. Duh.
What is Fabled Cave?
The place where you find Reshiram/Zekrom
:O
A fable
IF your already soaring with mega Latios/Latias how are you available to mega evolve a other pokemon ;)- Slip
because technically the lati isn’t in your party
So I like leaving my 3DS on with AS to gain hours played
😀 Imma get 999:59 on this
You mah future wifey
I dunno, only Hoenn deserves mah love
And me?
I’m not sure, you ditched me the other night
(Well, for a good cause but pshhhh)
;-;
xD
Where are you in OR? I meant to ask, but PM wasn’t working for me
He ditched me again :<
Hello Not Sure You Ditched Me The Other Night.
It’s not a noun
So what? You still said “I’m”
inb4 Hello End Quotes.
Hello End Quotes
Hello. How are you?
Oh, we need to trade, but I have to go again, darn :<
Yeah. I’m upstairs on my laptop right now. I have my last day of finals tomorrow, but I have off Tuesday and the rest of the week. We could trade then.
Kiss me thru the phone
(0,o)
You like Serena, I can’t do that
Full on Hoenn bby
Do the Hoenn shake!
Bibibibdididibd
This is true. I gotta stay loyal. xD
You do that too?
I did that day one but my DS’s Health means a lot to me
Well
There is a charger
And a N3DS coming soon so
Alright Steven
I’ve beaten your Cronies without Mega Evolving once!
Time to prove our worth!!!!!
~inb4 u get swept
Fat chance
I’m starting it and ending it with Mega Swampert!
I’m glad you picked the best starter 🙂
Whiscash is bettter.
Said Ook~implying Ook’s comments are ever significant
>implying your comments are ever any more significant
Hoenn
^^^^^^
More significant than ever
Hoenn will always be significant.
Both of our favorite Pokemon are Water/Ground types Illuminati confirmed.
That doesn’t matter to me
As long as i share a great bond with the Pokemon i’ve started this journey with, it is already the strongest
Hello Sta-
I’ll stop now.
~inb4 magical leaf
Please the only real threat is that Cradily’s Giga Drain but aside that everything Swampert knows wrecks
thx again lando <3 my team building skills are so rusty .-. I was on the bottom of the showdown ladder and it struggled.
Your welcome haha
I can help you with your teams if you want. Do you competitive battle?
Nope I just put teams together of pokemon I like and wish for the best
oh lol. Thanks again
What about her welcome?
Jk lel
Dick
So who all started with Mudkip(the best starter)?
Aye Aye!
Nope. This playthrough I started with Treeko and next playthrough I will start with Torchic. 😉
Eww
eww you
eww you
Omg I’m sorry i didn’t mean it forgive me!
Because Whiscash is always on my team. I can’t have two Water/Ground types.
True
I would pick torchic. The starter that’s so strong it went with the legends 😉
http://makeameme.org/media/created/nigga-what-you-4qj5bp.jpg
I’ll pick Mudkip when I play OR, but I went with Torchic.
So who all started with
MudkipTreecko(the best starter)?Yeah!
Meeee
Me! 😀
I can’t think of a snappy clever comeback, do it for me D:
“What about said best starter?”
Ooh I got it
“Said Chico”
Wait, I basically just used that
I’m trying but Mudkip’s typing only allows my brain to work at 7.8/10 instead of the usual 10.
Oh snap!
I JUST DIED
You realize that goes for Barboach and Whiscash too, right?
I’ve gotten used to people hating on them.
At least Mudkip is more religion accepting than Treecko (Christmas Tree tail -> Christian)
No that was bad
At least Torchic got a mega before the others…
oh brund
>Torchic
LOL
>implying that Torchic isn’t broken as *
It isn’t.
Blaziken may be tho.
Speed Boost Torchic is a thing in LC.
Torchic is a thot tho
I’m naming my mega Loppuny “Thots aLot”
You get presents from Christmas. What do you get from a muddy swamp? Dirty?
REAL dirty.
Xmas only has mistletoe.
Why?
He legit CP’d,
‘d, then inserted TreeckoI know now if I knew any better I think that’s aimed towards me and all the other Mudkip lovers
Just saying, you can make it a shortcut if you use for strike.
>implying that your opinion is the more correct one
Did you drink out of my water bottle too? It seemed a little empty last i saw it 😉

>implying that camels hold water in their back
>implying that Chico is a camel
>implying that this comment makes sense
I kinda did. Trying to forget about the breakup that happened this week, lol.
Ew, pure grass pokemon.
Ok guys we all know Charizard is the best starter like come on.
BOOOOOOOO!
*throws tomatoes*
*throws potatoes*
Throw’s extremely firm and heavy Watermelons
*throws Earthen just for fun*
like my 90 lb self could do that
Dude i’d flatten you
You probably would, that’s the thing.
You need to go on Chico’s Flex Zone workout program. It works, I swear.
“Lunges”
Breaks microwave
Great.
I actually laughed out loud at this, lmfao. xD
what areas do you strengthen?
I’m more of a Pecs, biceps and calves man
“lower body” to improve your performance.
What part of the lower body, if you know what I mean… 😉
Never skip leg day! Ever feel embarrassed when you’re out of breath walking up the stairs? Not me, thanks to the Flex Zone workout program.
Seems legit. ԾᴗԾ
i have great calves
it’s like two fully grown papayas in my legs
So you’re working to get rid of that “Lower Girth”?
tsk tsk tsk
Actually, there’s a saying that you can’t loose what you never had.
What’s the difference?
Im just kidding Earthen, love you bby 😡
Throws pears

It’s getting Funky in here!
Starting Omega Ruby! I’m taking a break from AS so i can go on a slow, steady journey, that eventually leads to Shiny Reshiram
I WANT SHINY RESHIRAM SO BAD!!!
I’m so happy the bæ is not locked!
Same omg the purple fire!
Does B/W Kyurem become shiny if fused with Shiny Reshiram/Zekrom or Shiny Kyurem? I cant remember :C (I think its shiny Kyurem)
It’s sprite looks really boring when you see it on Bpedia or Serebii, but in game it’s just stunning.
Each and everyone of My Pokemon has participated in this titanic fight
But now Time to end the Mega Vs Mega!
So who wants to share secret Bases?
<- That one guy who hasn't made one yet
I’m with you there :3
Well, except for the one Aarune makes you make…
Yeah. I decorated it with everything I had in random places… I’m still looking for a tutorial on how to make a gym.
~Wipe your swampy feet on the doormat before you get into my secret base.
How do you add more floors to secret bases ;~:
You add stairs i think
yay
Well we did it
I only lost Walreign because i needed to heal Swampert
But nonetheless it all came down to Mega Swampert vs Mega Metagross
GG. Good thing they added some challenge.
I lost to Winonna so I have to grind. 😛
Grind on me.
Relax your mind, take your time on me.
I’m… good.
The things I say on here probably aren’t good to say with this younger age group, lmao. Don’t grind on anyone kids, wait until you’re married. 😐
Things just got intense.
No Chico you’ve already corrupted me
^This
Think of it as… an enlightening.
My mom is mad at you now
Sorry Mrs. djjalpha sapphire I love Hoenn
I’m catching up to you I just need to catch my Feebas
I haven’t lost a match yet
I’ve lost 3. Once to Wattson, once to May, and now to Winonna.
yeah but i’m glad everyone on my team took out a Member
Swampert vs Skarmory & Metagross
Hariyama vs Aggron
Walreign vs Armaldo
Flygon vs Claydol
Aggron & Armaldo vs Cradily
You had to use items oooooo
only a single serving of moomoo milk
ooooooooooooooooooo
I bet it’s hormone free
Go ahead
feed your pokemon their organic milk
let them be the little prissy bitches they are
let them drink their hormone free moo moo milk to escape the heat of the battle
XD
anyone know a “Lauren Archer?”
cause i got a skype request
That’s my ex GF. I need to have a word with her…
No she needs to have a Word with Earthen
She was a Thots aLot too, he can have her.

So, can you rebattle Gym Leaders postgame?
Also, sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you transfer Diancie?
