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.

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

Mind = Blown
That makes sense. It’s about time they let you find released Pokemon.
Just reaching, in my fluffy opinion.
Battle Chantelaine Nita talks about leaving Hoenn, giving the ownership of Hoenn’s Maison to the protagonist and building the Battle Frontier (implied).. With all of Hoenn’s connections with Kalos, I’m almost positive that the BF will be in Z/X2Y2 or whatever they call it.
I feel were definitely getting a Huge Hoenn input into the next sequel to X and Y whether its Z or XX YY it’ll be big on Hoenn backstories. 🙂
Booooo. Kalos.
Are you saying Booo or boourns ?
** I was saying booourns ** 😛
Idk. I don’t speak gaelic. What is a boourn?
Its a Simpsons quote -.- 😛
😉 I don’t watch The Simpsons.
My dear Gar we have much to discuss 😛
Care to lay on the couch with me and discuss it?
*slits Defensive, Defender of Archie’s throat*
Kalos was and is and always will be the shittiest region.
Nah.
Nice region, bad execution.
Bad region, worse execution. Lysandre was the only cool part about it.
No, the region and everything was great, plot was decent but needed to be longer, characters needed to be more like Lysandre
The region layout was short and pointless. The game was crap compared to BW and ORAS. If I had known it was going to be that bad, I would’nt have bought it.
Literally no.
Literally yes.
That’s not good, it’s still pokemon
You’re the one who says “no more region wars or I’ll ban you”
xD
I’ve never said that.
I say the other way around actually.
But it was a beautiful, detailed region, with plenty of secrets.
Not enough character development though.
I thought the character development was just fine. And besides, who pays attention to the story in a Pokemon game?
And like Kanto had literally NO story, so I wouldn’t say Kalos is the “shittiest” region.
Plus, Mega Evolution.
Yeah, good region and features, but the gym leaders did nothing. Except for Korrina
Lysandre, mom, and Sycamore, along with AZ got it good, but most others were baddddd
I wouldn’t say ‘bad’ xD
I’m just gonna accept that everyone hates the regions when they first come out… just look at Unova, everyone hated it when it first came out, now everyone likes it.
I loved it.
I like Kalos.
I just think more character development along with a longer plot, would make the games excellent.
Along with more Pokemon War stuff
I know, I’m talking to defensive xD
I’m still indifferent to Unova.
Uhhh… Kanto… SINNOH…
Sinnoh is much better than Kalos.
I love you
Sinnoh had literally the crappiest Pokemon.
Especially the starters. The evolutions were good.
Sinnoh had some of the best. Kanto and Kalos were awful. Boring and bland.
Kalos were cool, at least a handful, like Sinnoh
Kalos had good Pokemon. And Lysandre. And customization. Only good things about it.
Two words: Mega Evolution
That has no effect on the opinion I have of the games. If they had been left out it wouldn’t have made a difference.
Starters
Gible line
Spiritomb
Staraptor
Drapionish
Luxray
Froslass
Mostly it imo
Staraptor is literally the most overrated Pokemon ever.
It looks cool sooooooo
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Yeahhhh pretty much
Wait, why do you have a Snover profile pic?
Merry Christmas.
Makes sense
that is literally not the truth
GALLADE HOW CAN YOU FORGET BAE?!
adding to you list
skuntank looks amazing
lucario is a boss
rhyperior is great (tho i HATE its shiny)
Dusknoir
Rampardos
porygon z
elective and magmortar
toxicroak
the list could go on
Porygon-Z is the only one from that list that I really like… sorry.
kk
Tangrowth
Mamoswine
Roserade
Vespiquen
Drifblim
Weavile
Gliscor
Lickilicki
Leafeon
Glaceon
Togekiss
Magnezone!
Yanmega
OMG how could i forget the second best ice type weavile 0-0
sinnoh was too good
It really was! All of the new evolutions were so great and well executed, far better than most of the megas we have now.
Yanmega and Weavile.
your face
They are cool! -_-
But Togekiss and Magnezone are beautiful.
Togekiss is kinda meh. I like it, a bit. Magnezone is strangeish.
What? Sinnoh starters are the coolest. They have to best final evolutions and typings. Back up.
chimchar,piplup turtwig>>>>>>>johto,kanto and starters combined
If i had to rate top starters by gen it would be
Gen 4
Gen 3
Gen 6 and 5
gen 2
gen 1 (sorry bulbasaur ;~:)
I would say:
Gen 2
Gen 5
Gen 6
Gen 1
Gen 3 (even though it’s Hoenn I never liked the starters) ;(
Gen 4
I’m going to kill you
Gen 4
Gen 3
Gen 1
Gen 5
Gen 2
Gen 6
It’s basically my list backwards… xD
Kalos suck ass bruh
Personally I expect a good sequel to XY where you can have 1 good rival and where team flare arent generic villains. A good story/postgame and more custom clothing.
I feel it will be one version (Z) but it will be a sequel where Malva will have taken over and Lysandre will actually be dead, AZ will play a larger role, etc
Ew.
What? She be all like, “Some brat foiled our plans years ago, but now with that filthy Red-haired d00d out of the way, it’s my time to take the helm.”
Also turns out they had some prior relationship
Lysandre was too cool and fabulous to do anything with that basic ass bitch.
Well that’s exactly why they’d split up, they were too fabu 4 each other, kept getting in each other’s ways, so Malva left and, when the protag approached her after beating Lysandre, gets mad because
1. She still has some feelings for him and are sad he he failed
2. Is disappointed in Team Flare and feels remorse for leaving
Booooo
It would make for a good plot line
And hey, Sycamore already is interested in protag’s mom soooo
Vice versa mate.
The letter says otherwise
Did it even ever tell what the letter said? I just remember the mother blushing when she received it.
No, but it was from Sycamore and made her blush so it seems legit.
She blushed before she read it I thought. For all we know, it was a request to breed Rhyhorn for his studies and it was from him so she blushed.
So I got to play a bit of oras! My friend let me play it for a few minutes before school and I spent most of that time flying on latios! Gosh, its freaking amazing! I love how you can do a barrel roll by pushing one of the shoulder buttons twice like in starfox! I really don’t think I’ll waist a move slot with fly and just soar with latias! Since you don’t have to have it in your party! I can’t wait for these games to come to my door!
You have to beat the game to use Soar
awwww! That sucks, but I’ll definetly forget fly after I get the Eon flute and everything
Or just beat/catch Kyogre or Groupon.
Groupon? What type is that? xD
an app
A coupon you use to redeem a Groudon at your local Wal-Mart :3
Groupon=best Pokemon
*Aileron Roll
What happens if you have a Quick Claw and Vital Throw?
It stabs your vital organs and throws them.

Does anyone have a list of all TM/HM locations in ORAS?
Here ya go 😀 http://www.serebii.net/omegarubyalphasapphire/tmhm.shtml
:D:D:D
First day not playing OR since I got it.
Oh well.
I’ll just play the hell out of it during Thanksgiving break!
My body is soooo sore but must keep playing!
I Just need to finish the Delta Episode level my Warrior and Mage to 92 each and beat classic with 25% of the roster by tonight
It’s like 60 degrees today… playing football didn’t help me cool down either.
Ew
I need a moon stone to evolve my Skitty. The issue is, other than that I don’t feel like looking for one, is that I’ve had my Skitty since the first badge and it’s level 51. Idk if I want to evolve it.
Why haven’t you evolved it yet o.o
Because I don’t have a moon stone… Thus me saying “I need a moon stone to evolve my Skitty.”
You can get one in meteor falls! Go there now!
Nah. Skitty has won most of my battles. Maybe later. But it’s the reason I lost against Sidney the first time. I didn’t realize it has Normalize…..
Lemme guess, play rough didn’t do anything? 😛
Exactly. XD I need an ability capsule. I didn’t even notice the ability when I caught it. I had been trying to figure out why it was getting any super effective hits.
Another person using Skitty?
I thought I was the only one!
Nah. My team is Swampert, Skitty, Pelipper, Sharpedo, Clamperl, and Mightyena. I basically used everything I like and used originally.
I’m guessing you like water types? :O
Number 1 favorite type. Steel is number 2
Swampert, Gardevoir, Nuzleaf, Skitty, Manectric, Altaria.
A few from my original team, a few new ones.
So…any other Europeans just sitting around mashing f5 and waiting for their pre-order dispatch confirmation? 🙁
F5?
That literally does nothing on my computer.
It’s refresh on many computers. Except for macs and maybe some others
I use only macs.
But I’m not gonna rant about how crappy Windows computers are…
Same, I have a mac. It’s been pretty faithful to me. I’m content
I don’t hate people for using Windows… I’ve tried both.
Windows aren’t so bad. I haven’t tried one of their newer laptops but their tablets are so much better than the ipad. But I just like the connectivity that macs have with my other apple products 😛
Yup. My iPad, iPhone, iMac, and MacBook Air are all connected.
Sames. I wish I had an iphone though. My android is so slow and bad. But I have an ipad, ipod and mac.
You can do about 20% than an iPad with the tablets. Especially in college.
The ipad is literally just a giant ipod. I don’t even know if there’s anything special it can do.
Other than be reliable for papers and storage and media, not much.
I only use mine to play games xP
Media
The special thing that it can do is help kids at my school who can’t afford laptops… because you can’t use a phone for research… or an iPod.
Yeah I suppose that is a good point.
I would have been had it not been for the wonderful land of OZ eshop.
*thumbs up* 🙂 As my patience erodes I’m beginning to wish I had downloaded. This steelbook better be worth it in the end!
did u catch all the legends? that cuz of me bae . . muhahahaha http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1416856899893.gif
its so evil and nightmarish… i am in love
Also it has a beard
It actually looks cool.
TC evolving has made Winonna so easy to beat… xD I din’t even had Heartless the Sableye! I forgot to bring it. xD
Has anyone else been to the secret base with the Blisseys? When I first went there, there were only three blisseys, and they were lv 50. Did I have to beat the game for more to appear or something?

Me too! But people always use either genesect or scizor over it. What do you think of the ability?
I think bulletproof would be interesting for it. Although heatproof would benefit it xD
YOU CAN SURF ON KYOGRE ODSKN
But can you surf on May?
In the end of ORAS it’s implied c;

KissUp124
I finally got to the part you mentioned about transporting. Honestly, I don’t see the problem because…it’s optional
I didn’t realize it was optional until I got up to it
KissUp124 though.
What nature is it :3
Mild.
10/10
(Rf)
At least it won’t be boring around here
Yes, turn them off in main story. You can use it while raising post-E4 team.
Trueeeee
Even though with the EXP Share im still underleveled.
Being underleveled is a blessing.
This happens a lot on MMC.
I seriously hope nobody thinks that’s actually me, because I would never do that. Besides, PJ can just check this person’s IP and find that it doesn’t match mine. 😛
This happens so much. This is like the 10th time someone has said that they are “Dicie” on MMC. 😛
