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









OMG The Delta Episode….
I’m just about at mauville, and I need something for fire types, steel, and electric…any ideas?
Numel, Aron, Electrike
I can get numel this early?
nope, after Rock Smash
ground is super effective against all three.
DexNav Research, Getting your search level up to 999… You have… a higher shiny rate :D!!!!!
999 That’s gonna take a while
Encountering the pokemon in Hordes/RE (Random Encounters) will increase the search level :p
Can you explain the horde thing please
Use Sweetscent on a route, there is a chance there are hordes :p
I know that but when I use hordes the search level for Absol isn’t moving
They have to be the pokemon you are searching for :S
Ooooohhh
100% chance of hordes with Sweet Scent unless during weather conditions.
As if the shiny rate wasn’t high enough. Lol.
Are Horde Battles back in ORAS?
Yup
yes
even the magma grunts come in hordes of poochena
Sweet Scent. All day, ere’ day.
(not really)
so my team before the e4 is this
Swampert
Metagross
Altria
Breloom
Mightena
and latios
I didn’t know you could get both bikes in OR/AS!?! That’s awesome. It was a bit annoying switching bikes.
now only if you can change the gear
how do you get both? doesnt the dude tell u to come and switch
How do you get both?
“Mach Bike – Show the Mach Bike to a Hex Maniac in the Route 111 Desert | Acro Bike – Show the Acro Bike to a Bird Keeper in the Acro Bike area of Route 119 – Requires Surf & Waterfall | Any Bike – Speak to a Triathlete in Battle Resort”
I read it on Serebii.
But only after the E4 when you’ve already used the both bikes at most of the required locations. It’s a nice touch, but you should be able to have both from the start imo.
All right guys. Decision time.
1. Swablu, Level 17, Bashful, Natural Cure. Safeguard, Disarming Voice, Mist, Round.
2. Swablu, Level 18, Rash, Natural Cure, Safeguard, Disarming Voice, Mist, Round.
3. Swablu, Level 17, Lax, Natural Cure, Fury Attack, Round, Disarming Voice, Mist.
You can say none too.
pick the one with disarming voice
…Lol.
If this is your flyer use the first one if not the second
It’s not my flyer, that’s Swellow. Thanks. 🙂
So a mysterious figure is stealing Key Stones?
This brings me back to what would your Key Stone Accessory be?
MEGA ANCHOR!!!!
Something Original
Unless you want to lug a 200+ Pound Lead Anchor with you at all time
I see lol
I still want a Mega Gauntlet.
My Top three
Mega Hat (Cowboy/Explorers)
Mega Buckle
Mega Spaulder
Mega Emblem or Mega Eye Patch
Care to explain the details?
Nope lol….psych
Mega belt
Mega Wand
Iris would have that
Or a mega tiara/diadem
Tirara already exists.Lisia has it.
Ehhh that’s more of a barrette
I’d want either a Mega Watch where the Ket Stone’s the bit where you change the time
What Key Stone accessory would Cyrus have???
Mega Ring maybe?
Idk
Mega Badge.
Yeah I was thinking that…idk they would need to redesign his outfit a little.
Nah u could attach it idk
Mega Watch?
Not bad
mega emotion, god knows he has too much of that
Is HA Swablu really necessary?
Is it worth the effort to find?
Competitive Cloud Confirmed!
Not for the story
I know not for the story, but as a Pokemon in general.
Meh, not really. It is preferred but it’s not something that would affect you every game
Alpha Sapphire is beautiful. These games need to be released on the Wii U to add more detail to the environment, Archie, Pokemon, and Archie. Kyogre’s awakening cut scene after you beat Archie is beautiful too. Archie’s full body model…. Holy fuck. It was so sexy. Omega Ruby will probably be the game that I do competitive with after I play through as May and then as Brendan. Idk. But damn.
u saw archie grin at u during the awaken
YES. INSTANT BONER. HOLY CRAP I DIED.
I like when he loses
I do too because I get to see him.
My Pokemon are almost so high leveled that they will disobey me. O.O
Only traded Pokemon will disobey you
Ok i finished ORAS
my final Verdict- 9/10
Story +
Gameplay+
Lots of Content+
Too Much water+
Not X/Y+
I never give anything 10/10-
Can you rebattle Gym Leaders?
Is the Day Care still next to Mauville City on the left route?
Yes
Okay. I’m almost there.
What Mega accessories would E4 of Hoenn have??
This is a small update regarding how my website will review Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The information in this article mostly pertains to my website staff.

If you guys are wondering where the heck you’re going to get a bunch of masteballs to catch legends with, PGL is your answer. The new Mine Cart Adventure game will sometimes give you masterballs. I tried about 10 times just a few minutes ago and I got a masterball on D rank(the game is hard!).
You can also clone them.
If you use the glitch, it’s okay.
But if you use power saves, it’s another story.
You can’t do contests with your friends, can you? :/
Only locally =/
O, well that’s better than nothing I suppose
My Pokemon are so overleveled.
They’re in the late 30s and I haven’t even beaten the 4th Gym. xD
Exp share?
Yup.
I don’t know what I’d do without it.
n00b
But I thought you loved me.
I fluff everyone ;~;
Welp, I’m not sleeping tonight.

At least feminists can complain about Samus anymore, she’s flat. :’)
I’m barely at slate port and my pokemon are level 20 lol! (not using exp share)
I’m in between Slateport and Mauville. Literally.
same here!!~
I’ve finally finished both the story and the Delta Episode and I have to say that there are so many good scenes and battles that Pokemon should of made it an option in the menu before you start the game that you can witness them again. Out of the entire games, my top 10 favorite scenes/battles/backgrounds/areas are (Spoilers)

(Should have worked)
10th place: Battle Background on route 113
9th place: Battle Background at Mt. Chimney
8th place: Battle against Archie (Final battle)
7th place: Scene after Kyogre’s awakening
6th place: Scene after Defeating Kyogre
5th place: Area where you battle against Kyogre
4th place: Credits
3rd place: Battle Against Kyogre
2nd place: Battle against Wally
1st place: Scene where you ride Rayquaza into space and then encounter Deoxys
Also on a side note, they bought up AZ and the three thousand year war again. This seems to be building up to something huge if it’s mentioned in two different games with two different regions.
Finally caught Primal Groudon after like 5 times. I hate the fact that you can’t skip cutscenes.
You want to skip the cut scenes in this game!? Why!?
After you keep blacking out over and over, the cutscenes kinda get stale.
Why didn’t you just save before you battled Groudon?
Umm what now I’m kinda done with everything
Go to the Battle Fron- ohhh
Breeding, Contests, Battle Maison, Completing the regional Pokedex and trying to get the platinum flag for your base are options. At least it doesn’t have the after game content of X & Y but unfortunately it doesn’t have the after game content of Black & White or HGSS.
*-* thank you
Prepare your team for the next games.
Restart and take your time
Please tell me the OR Drought Theme is good.
