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









What’s your ORAS trainer ID?
Mine is 38343.
17797
Mine is something Unlucky ;~;
Does the ORAS Safari Zone change its available Pokémon daily?
No
D:
Why?
I prefer diversity rather than set range of Pokémon.
Anyway, you might find this helpful:

Hmm Project Azoth, interesting.
Apparently Azoth was believed to be a universal material for alchemy; its name was comprised of the beginning letters of English, Greek, and Hebrew, then the end letters of English, Greek, and Hebrew. I.e, A, Alpha, Alef, Z, Omega, Tav (sorry if i butchered the hebrew names, i don’t know the proper spellings :c). I guess it would look something like this?: Aαתzωא (i hope that works).
Interestingly, we know of a character that utilizes the first and last letters of English (AZ), and a set of games that uses the first and last letters of Greek (Alpha Sapphire, Omega Ruby). How might Hebrew come into play?
Also, in the Aqua hideout, in Project Azoth vol. 2 it says “Devon Corporation holds the secret of the technology of the ultimate weapon.” interesting…
Are you finished with Delta Episode? Because I have something to add on to that.
Nope :C
I’m at the Aqua Hideout
Good thing I asked.
Finish Episode Delta and all will be explained.
Alchemy? The ultimate weapon used the lives of pokemon and humans to make AZ immortal? I know it’s a coincidence, but I see this as a Fullmetal Alchemist reference.
I did not know you can fly to routes in ORAS
I felt kinda sad when i went to Mt. Pyre and talked to all of the people grieving for their pokemon… But thats not true because they just faint…. right?
-hugs invisible Aron-
Ok here is my team going to the Elite Four. All of them are level 45. (I want them to be the same level)
Swampert / Rumble
Gallade /Spirit
Aggron / Cobalt
Manectric / Static
Flygon / Lock
Tropius / Timber
FEELING PUMPED!!!
45??
Ohhh Good Luck
May them have Mercy
Thats kind of the point of the E4…. Impossible Odds.
It isnt worth being the Champion if you didnt earn it through strategy and not just pure strength
What do you have against ice type?
Gallade 😀
Work has me so far behind on oras :/ just finished fiery path, and my team:
grove lvl 26
crunch the mightyena lvl 24 (has thunder fang)
metag lvl 25
swellow lvl 25
carvanha lvl 26
and spetsnaz the glalie lvl 41…I k ow I need to Changet it up, but I don’t know who to replace with who…
You lack some ground types so as representative of Earthern Warrior I suggest:
Numel (fire)
Baltoy (Psychic)
I thought about numel, but I’m a big fan of speed so I wasn’t too sure about him
I have a 20-ish Ice Fang Mightyena. 😀
I’m resetting some of my Pokes (Kirlia and Swellow) for slightly more potential ones (I found Telepathy Ralts and I bred a Boomburst Taillow) and STing them.
Ugh, even if I play AS in between doing assignments, I’m still so far behind everyone else. Mostly. I am at Mauville City, but didn’t get the badge yet (Training and re-vamping team).
dont worry, im resetting for a shiny Treecko. i havent played the games at all yet
Good luck, oh patient sir. I’m sure not.
why thank you, Miss. this hunt has been going on for years, across different generations
So I started to sort out my living dex this morning. BIG mistake, because now I have to organize them xD. Oh well, it will be worth all the time I’ve spent on it. Already have about 200 that I can just put in their place! Just need to start breeding and leveling up, which shouldn’t be too hard with those Blissey bases >:D
I want them! D: I haven’t even met the dude yet!
What the-? I can’t go online! It says I need to update, but there isn’t any update for AlphaSapphire that I’ve seen.
There was a patch that was released earlier today :3
Unless you have already downloaded that… then idk 😛
Oh okay. I’ll look again.
Well, my games should be coming starting now to December 5th. The wait won’t be as bad though because I have the rest of this week off for Thanksgiving! ‘Murica! Found out that no legendaries outside of gen 5 get remixes 🙁 I was really hoping they improved Lugias… but I think it is strange how the legendary hampsters have they’re 8 bit themes from G/S/C and not HG/SS
So in light of the new Jurassic World trailer being released and it just seeming to fit, I’ve started thinking about how Hoenn is like Isle Nublar and it almost adds a really cool twist to playing Pokemon. It kinda feels like I’m playing Pokemon, but in a very Jurassic park way lol I actually kinda like pretending that Hoenn is like the island where Jurassic Park went down lol
Hellol i know this is off topic, but im looking for someone with a powersave to help me ith something…please! Anyone?
Why did they Completely drop the Entire town view as you read the town sign after like… The 3rd small town … -.-
They got lazy
I noticed that…I was like wtf?
What signs
In littleroot town and oldale, when you went up to the town sign and clicked on it, it would zoom out and show different shots of the city. But then after they got to like Rustboro or so, they stopped doing it…
I’m battling with bae! I’m so excited. I’m happy! He his other Sharpedonite from Matt! Our Sharpedo move as one!
Is Sharpdeo a code for something? *lenny face*
Nope. I love both though.

es bae
Why is all of ORAS’s music so good??
*why is ORAS so good?
If I get a shiny Swablu, which name should I give it (regardless of gender)?:
A) Swagold
B) Butter Bird
C) Butterball
D) Biscuit
Fluffles
String “Fluffles” out of bounds. Throwing DoesNotExistException.
Something original.
Wow, that sounded douche-ish.
I think Biscuit sounds cute. :3
Cottonball sounds boring, and would fit Whimsicott
Biscuit!
pony boy
Before every battle remind it to stay gold
*en. Stay golden. B)
stay gold ponyboy
Ok Sodapop.
It wasn’t soda pop who said it you uneducated little shit. Where the hell do you get off, not knowing your literature as well as you should, I feel offended actually, maybe you should stop browsing this site, go hug your loving mother who loves you more than anything, go buy “The Outsiders” and read the shit out of it. You know what, actually, you don’t deserve that book, maybe you just need the experience. Buy a leather jacket then kill some one and smoke in a church and accidentally burn the church and rescue 5 disgusting snot nose bitches who got lost on their pre school trip. Get hit with a burning rafter, complain about your dad, say hi to your mother, say good bye to your friends and then, Jonny, tell your closest bitch to stay golden like a handsome Stallion like you should.
If you’re not here to respond you better be out there reading “The Outsiders”.
b8 t8ken, m8
t-eight-ken?
What does that mean?
Indulge yourself with literature.
Okay.
Jonny said “Okay”.
Are you mocking him?
Are you mocking Jonny?
No, I’m mocking you.
Okay, mocking me won’t give you better reading skills, however
Nor does it give you better punctuation skills.
Use a period, like this one.
At least I’m not on mine. c:
Hello Not On Mine.
No, Swagold is my name
;~;
Ju can kep et.
:’)
:3
All these names are nice! though Butterball reminds me of those turkey’s ;~; Fluffpuff seems really cute for shiny Swablu :3
More suggestions:
1) Goldie Hawn
2) Goldilocks
3) Butter Bean
4) Betadine
5) Lemonade
6) Lemon Twist
7) Pan de Limon
8) Sunset Flyer
Among the existing ones, I like Butter Bird the best.
I finally made it to Verdanturf Town.
Oh sweet, sweet piano…
:’)
Caught Deoxys in a Great Ball. lol
I need Diancie in AS… ;~;
i have diance with its mega stone form event, you can have it, i don’t plan n using it
