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
BtW’s Slips said he’s leaving forever.
wat. y?
A moment of silence for our fallen comrade
-Takes of top hat-
But don’t worry. One does not simply leave PokeJungle.
Time to retire to bed for now. Kyogre woke up and now’s a good time to stop as any. I grabbed this random Lv. 49 Ho-Oh from my Y that coincidentally has 1 less speed than Max Speed Timid Kyogre… it’s almost soft resetting time! But I’m sleepy. G’night folks!
I only soft reset because my Swampert kept killing it before I caught it. Dx
So Soul Dew is back. The Lati Twins finally get their favourite toy again.
NOOOOOO
So, what exactly did today’s ORAS patch do for us?
For those that have already beaten the game and have gotten to the portion talking about the Battle Frontier going under construction, did you notice any changes in dialogue? New NPCs? A new sign that there is hope for a BF?
It’s probably to fix the Mauville glitch.
what mauville glitch?
Similar to the Lumiose.
What Mauville glitch?
Nope. :/ i was wondering the same
My team has the shorter end of the stick with Sp. Def.. 2 Naive and a Rash natured Pokemon. ;~;
Catch a careful Skitty. You’re almost guaranteed to win battles.
Ooh! I decided not to evolve my Skitty. I beat the E4 with it on my team! It wrecked!
Can i rebattle deoxys. i sorta killed it yesterday :p
Yeah, Sky Pillar after you beat the E4 again
I’m so boreds
Good.
Hello So Boreds.
Why you gotta do this to me
You made it too easy.
Dick
Richard.
You too, you jerkwads never stop with that infernal joke
I’m sorry.
Hello Sorry.
RATE MY TEAM… Let me know what you all think…
AS: Swampert, Pidgeot, Dusknoir, Pangoro, Glalie, Ninetals
OR: Blaziken, Flygon, Galade, Walrein, Roserade, Sableye
I guess they’re good for the story…
Oh my God. Archie doesn’t have his keystone in that image. He doesn’t get it back. ;-;
He gets it back since Wally said you got it back for everyone. I think.
He better. 🙁
that reminds me of this really funny i thought of yesterday
What funny?
Well i just caught this Gigantic Legendary Pokemon needed to save the Hoenn Region
But what if i blew it off to go watch T.V at home…
*Shows me and the Rayquaza i just caught slouching on the couch*
*We’re just sitting down and off screen the Meteoroid crashes in the distance*
LOL. I blew off the Rayquaza to search for a Secret base spot. I thought that same thing. XD
Can we get Buneary pre-E4? (No spoilers please, a simple yes/no would suffice haha)
I would think so. I would give you the spoiler that confirms it but you asked not to soooo….
You might, but you will probably need the DexNav in the right area.
I don’t think so, i had a buneary and it hasn’t appeared in any routes yet (on the DexNav)
You probably need the national dex
Not necessarily, after the “you know what” incident, Hoenn became more hospitable for other region Pokémon, as an NPC put it. I encountered an Alomomola using the DexNav before getting the National Dex.
I know when I transferred buneary over it said ??? in the dex # (Lopunny still has it too)
Is Alomomola in the national dex? Or was that part of the update (also i have no idea what incident you’re talking about b/c i haven’t finished the game :P)
When I caught the Alomomola (without having a National Dex), it said “This Pokémon is not registered in Hoenn”. So you can catch Pokémon that are not native in Hoenn, but the dex won’t register it until you get the National Dex.
huh strange. Do you recall if Alomomola appeared in the DexNav after catching it? I’ve been to where Buneary appears already and it isn’t in the Dexnav
The Alomomola indeed appeared in the DexNav after catching it.
Maybe its because i didn’t actually catch it..? Really strange though, i’ll have to breed a buneary and see if it appears then
Maybe you never had a Buneary, but you did Lopunny?
I evolved my Buneary, but i bred it in Sinnoh (full odds shiny) so it doesn’t have a pentagon
that’s probably why 😛
Yup.
What am I supposed to do to find the Scanner on Sea Mauville?
I just witnessed “The Genesis” that NL mentioned…
I think I need a moment…
Started using the PokeBank. Time to complete the Pokedex!
So I beat Norman 😀
…After that OHKO guy took out my Swablu and Gardevoir ._.
But I continued on without them 😀
i used my Aron
Not a scratch
Interesting.
Idc, I used mine too and it leveled up once so
Norman was pretty challenging tbh, more so than the other ones.
I had to reply on my lopunny to use substitute and drain punch repeatedly inbetween truant turns (sub on truant, drain punch when it attacks). Ended up being a huge pain with retaliate later though
Hardest battle so far tho is one w/a Milotic in the rain, took out 3 of my pokemon 😛
Yeah, I kept switching out of Yawn when that happened and just hoped they would hold on >.<
Breloom got down to 3 HP then took out his last Slaking with a Mach Punch.
Congrats! Norman has always been one of the tougher Gym Leaders for me because of his Slaking. I’d even over-train, get Blaziken, and still have a challenge on my hands. But that sense of accomplishment you get when you finally beat him, it’s a great feeling!
😀
Where are you?
Well, I decided to scrap my idea for using my competitive team I told you about in-game, so I’m about to head off to Fiery Path with a team influx (meaning I have no idea who I’m gonna use, other than Shiny Metang and my starter lol). My levels are currently 20-23.
Yeah, that seemed really OP for an in-game team xD
But what starter?
A Cyndaquil TC got me a couple years ago that he had been holding onto until now. It is shiny and currently a Quilava, replacing my original starter of Torchic/Combusken.
Ah, okay.
I say you go for Camerupt 😀
Why Camerupt? I mean, it would help with Flannery and some others later on lol. Gimme a good reason, and I’ll use it! =) Cause I was just gonna go with Sandshrew lol, Camerupt sounds a lot better.
I wasn’t thinking, meant Sharpedo. Or Wailord or Milotic.
I mean, Camerupt is cool and helpful but he’ll just increase your Water weakness, lol
Yes, that sounds more like it, and I DID need help in determining the Water Pokemon I’m gonna use (cause I won’t use Wingull/Pelipper forever lol). Plus adding Camerupt would make three Pokemon weak to Ground lol.
True.
There are so many good Hoenn Water pokemon.
I couldn’t decide for my OR version, since I was using Swampert in AS, I didn’t need one there.
Leaning towards Sharpedo in OR tho
Yeah, I’m really toying with the idea of using Sharpedo as well. Never used one before, so I may choose it like I will with a Heracross, another Pokemon I like but never used before.
Ah. I prefer pokemon that evolve twice for some reason xD
It feels more fulfilling.
But it looks great so I want to use it 😀
Yeah, I totally get that lol. For some reason, I guess it just seems like you gotta put more effort into getting them fully evolved, and as such, it’s more rewarding. As for me, I like having a balanced team where no more than two Pokemon share the same type or weakness.
Ah, I am the same way with two or less of the same type, which limits me >.< xD
But it works out sometimes.
Yeah, it does limit you a bit lol, like how I don’t wanna use an Electric type (which that or Grass is standard for me) because that would make three weak to Ground. But oh well, I make it work somehow, and this is just an in-game team, so I get to experiment a bit! =)
I killed a Masquerein I was gonna catch oh no D:
=(
Try and catch another one then, or maybe raise a Surskit if you plan on using it. That said, I’m sure Masquerain would be rare.
I got it on the DexNav (trying to catch all pokes as I go) so I can find another, but I wanted one D:
Oh well, I’ll just wait a few minutes.
That’s cool, I’m trying to do the same thing, though I have missed Abra, Magnemite, and Plusle so far. Good luck finding one! =)
I’m missing Minun instead of Plusle xD
Do you have one?
A Minun? Yes, I do. Are you thinking trade and trade back?
Uh huh. Do we have each other?
I think we do.
We do indeed, though we haven’t been on PSS at the same time with OR I don’t think.
I still have to get the update ._. So I’ll do that first.
Yeah, same here. I haven’t played it today, so I didn’t even know there was an update lol. XD I’ll get on that right now.
Oh, btw, did you get Smash U?
Woah, you’re on Disqus. 😮
Lol I come here from time to time. There wasn’t many people in the chat, and Pokemaster is a PokeFriend of mine, so I thought I’d chat with him for a while.
I will make a list of Pokémon that I need, it won’t be as long as the last time. I hope you can help, and in turn I can help you. 🙂
😀 Yay

Gym leader has 4 pokemon!!
THANK YOU GF
That was leaked a while ago xD
I don’t look at leaks
I know, but I recall someone saying on here recently, that’s what I meant, sorry
Just beat Norman,
Swampert (Oceanus) 31
Gardevoir (Psycrifice) 30
Aron (Colossus) 31
Breloom (Fun-guy) 31
and Swablu (Fluff”R”Us) 30
Are you using Share?
No
Woah, nice job then 🙂
Thanks I don’t even do extra training
I beat her!!!
That was unexpected :O
xD
Just a head up, the only legendary I don’t have are Meloetta, Mew, and Manaphy because a certain someone failed to return them to me (not anyone here). :'(
Question: DexNav in caves. Is it possible? I want to find a Prankster-Recover Sabelye.
I’m not sure, but I would assume so. Go check 😀
Yes.
How did you beat the game so fast?
Just on sunday we at the same place but last night you was done
How did you do it?
Attempt #2 and he still doesn’t answer :I
Sorry.
Uh, let’s just say I stayed up late.
A lot.
Does their mean we aren’t dex partners anymore? ;~;
We are.
Just getting a bit ahead.
Glad to hear it. I imagine you need tons of repels though. I DexNaved a No Guard Machop with Bullet Punch and perfect IVs in Attack and Speed, and that alone took nearly two hours.
It is possible
Cascoon slow down. I beat Winona yesterday and I haven’t played sinced
Slow Down?
I didn’t even play AS yesterday
Please bb ;-; wait for me
There is no possible way for me to slow down more and still enjoy it as much as possible sorry this is my speed
It was a joke haha
I know :>
What’s the point in rushing through the game? Wouldn’t it be much better to take your time and enjoy the small little details you miss by rushing?
I beat Norman just yesterday and I’m having a blast so far, but I can imagine how the games must get pretty boring after beating it in like 2 days.
IKR
I am going slow and I am enjoying it as much as possible
i do take my time
But i’m just too productive and i just find myself advancing at a higher pace
I just beat Winona yesterday and I’m just enjoying contest and just exploring the Overworld
But Jordin we must People move at different speeds, some people find it most enjoyable to go very fast, and some people have so much free time they can beat the game pretty fast, so we can’t say someone is moving too fast, because we all have different paces and enjoyment levels
Troomoo I agree, but damn people must be super fast if they finish it in a day ._.
xD I got it at midnight release, and have 30 hours on it, and still haven’t beaten it, just halfwayish.
I love it so much! Also stopping where something big is going to happen leaving something for you to look forward to is great <3
I know 😀
Although some of the time has been me leaving it on to add to my play time or listen to music xD
30:01
Just beat Norman
Same :3 I am so underleveled lol
I am about good I think but still want to level them up more because Marshtomp, Aron, and Swablu are about to evolve ;~;
I still have Kirlia (one level away), Shroomish (almost there), Marshtomp (2 levels away), and Swablu (6 levels away)
Where are you at in-game?
Abusing Dexnav makes the storyline seem painfully slow to me. 🙂
I love jumping on that surskuit booty
Every single time I see a silhouette I get the urge to sneak up on it. 😉 Also I just want to see that Search Level go up!
SAME! I caught all of my team members with EMs and the same gender as the one from my Emerald team (using the same pokes to relive the memories). It took 172 REs to find a team member ;~;
Wow, I don’t even remember what my original team was! That must have been cool to bring the crew back together,
I only grinded a Drought Vulpix… the rest were just because I wanted to jump on silhouettes and increase that search level…
I’ve had the most fun in ORAS than any other pokemon game
F*ck you Steven and your Megagross. ;~;
It’s ok I’m here
Where are you now? ;~;
Everywhere
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It raped my team so hard. ;~;
Imagine performing a 6-1 on Steven before he comes back to win with Metagross. No offense Diantha, but your Mega Gardevoir can hardly achieve this…
Sorry ORAS but you aren’t as hard as Emerald (yet) The gym rosters are very easy
The most I lost in a gym was 2 pokemon and I am not using the EXP. Share nor am I training for gyms
It loses in difficulty to Emerald. Just wait till Liza and Tate
r u joking I lost an ass ton with no exp share
Like, I had to use my primal kyogre because I could not win against the e4.
XD
lol, n00b
Grinding tho
no
yuss
On that surfboard
I had no counter to Drake or Glacia.
Glacia nearly destroyed me.
She kept spamming Light Screen, Hail, Confuse Ray and Blizzard.
They all hit while my attacks miss.
I cried
The hax….. just like the originals
When I got to Glacia, Frosslass murdered me I literally screamed when I found out she had two of the bastards
^^^^^^^^
So much of this.
mfw I finally kill the first Froslass, and she sends out another one.
her walrein.
How.
How.
Sheer cold hugqk3jnvw
I threw my 3DS *gently* away.
The RNG is just like the originals. :’)
I was crying :,) but also crying at the same time
Norman was so tough
ok so my brother gave me a ho – oh named ” I hate you” and now this bitch is doing some creepy shit I’m releasing its ass
Wonder trade.
no I don’t want to put this curse on another human
But that’s half the fun.
Be sure to write a crappypasta while you’re at it.
It killed me
