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









” you live and learn, that’s just the way life goes.”PREACHHHHHHH
That’s going to be my new motto
HEELLOOOO!!!! is anyone roaming the jungles?
Has this been said
I was in Aqua hideout and look what a picture says
“There is a picture of a boy with with a shaved head, a girl with black hair, and a Pokemon with three notes attached to its head.”
It also says
“The 7th day of the -th, -002 With Arc-e and -rachi”
So Archie has met Jirachi before and they took selfies…. hmmmm Jirachi event?
But what about Omega Ruby??????????????????????
The girl with black hair is Shelly right?
I think so
Update time!

Wow
I won
I OHKO both of their pokemon xD
I once said I’ll use Double Surf on Tate&Liza and that my luck in Fortree’s Gym will come back to haunt me?
Well guess what, my Latias’ Surf did crit my Swampert. Good thing it was only for 50% damage, but still.
This is what my old secret base looked like… (rf)

Lol, Swimmer Tera in-game, “My boyfriend told me I look great in a bikini. *beat her* Even if it’s a lie, I love being told I look good. Us girls are so complex…”
LOOL
And another swimmer next to her says “Ouch, ouch, ouch!” after you beat her xD
Who knows what that player is doing under the water.
Anyone feel kinda reluctant to bring all the good stuff to the new game?
I did. I brought my Shiny Sandslash because someone didn’t show up for the giveaway.
I don’t think I will at all.
Plus a bunch of Pokemon for competitive.
I only brought over the Maison slayers + my contest darling Milotic mostly so far.
Soon I will build the living dex in my AS.
I beat the singles with my Swampert easily
Does it have the same Maison ribbons as X&Y? Because if that’s so there’s no point redoing it with my old Maison teams… 😉
Anyone wanna have a quick battle with me?
With in-game teams, or?
in game teams
Maybe, I only have 5 and they’re not fully evolved, so
Think it as a challenge
Or how about i just bring my Adamant Groudon and Primal Regress it
xD
I’m fo serious
1 vs 6
*5
But would they auto level?
yeah
Okay, I’m in then
give me 5 min to
get my Pokemon link rewards
Link my Glalie
Put Groudon in Bank
and then bring it to OR
I’m so mad, I can’t find a ditto with 6 iv’s no matter how I try.
Well ya can’t really just waltz into a… field? and pick one up day one
Nothin’ works, I have about 140 of them.
Do you need one? It’ll be French and no Gen 6 icon, though.
I would appreciate it a lot if you can give me your ditto, THANKS a lot man! 😀

Cool. Just give anything nice whatever you want.
I’ll be online shortly on my Y.
Ok 🙂
Interested on a thick fat spheal (3 ivs)?
No prob, it’ll do.
sorry if its 2, there’s a lot of them!
I hope you’re Light. But I saw the Spheal so I went for it.
My name on pokemon y is Leo. Edit: (kidding) 😛
Oooh, ok. Well enjoy the Ditto then!
Thanks again btw!
Yer welcome.
It takes a while.
Ikr
Alright if this Diancie isn’t good i could care less
i’m done SR and having to listen to those posh wankers
Hardy Above Average HP Atk Sp. Atk
Good enough fo me
Maybe should be Adamant for Diamond Storm..?
it really doesn’t matter
i really don’t plan on battling with it
Well yeah its use is limited anyway since it is an event…
its better off as a collectors item and bringing out for fun little battle of legends
Well 522 Battle Points
I’m set for life b*tches
When you need to buy Ability Capsules… that probably won’t be enough…
i only buy ability caps in dire need
otherwise i painstakingly hatch until perfection
Dire Need = You found a Shiny that hatched with wrong ability (such as Scyther with Swarm). Yeah, shouldn’t be often.
ha, as if i’d used a wild shiny
they would never have the right Nature or good ivs
Sometimes, if you “accidentally” hatched a shiny too…
then i would use one
but i really don’t care for most shinies
Actually shiny Pokemon with perfect IVs and good nature’s have been found in ORAS.
If in the wild, I’d be amazed 🙂
Yo Pokemaster you ready?
I think I’ll finish the E4 before I sleep. My 4 level 60 dudes vs the league… soon. After I go through this “shortest victory road ever” and Wally.
Ok so got destroyed by that freaking level 53 kingdra in the elite four so I´m gonna hunt for some TMs so that my Mega Aggron can have a Dragon claw…
Any suggestions of moves for my team?
SWAMPERT
GALLADE
AGGRON
MANECTRIC
FLYGON
TROPIUS
Oh sorry Ian >.< Yeah, I'm ready.
alright waiting and standing by
also IGN IAN
Sorry, was exploring and doing Trick House.
I’ll challenge in a minute
what’s your IGN?
Connor.
Regular Single Battle?
i only brought the one
so singles
>.< That's right, Desolate Land.
Sorry i turned Fluffy into a smoldering puddle of slag
xD
It was bound to happen.
GG 😀
Lairon did pretty well in that.
yes yes
but i’m going to be brutally honest i could’ve just used Precipice Blades
Yeah, you probably could have.
How much PP does it have, 5?
i think 5 but its a 85% Accuracy
Trip down memory lane…
Thank you GameFreak
oh Pokemaster does it show i’m using a Hiker Icon on your end?
Yeah, it does.
alright so it always shows Brendan or may based on the character’s gender and the icon of the opposing trainer
We need Archie, Maxie, and grunt icons. 🙁
My response to failing in competitive battling… Maybe next time Tropius and other of my favorites can be competitively useful.
I only EV train and check natures soo imagine my failure when I go against a true competitive player..
we’ve all been there
Elite 4 a bit EZ and violating species clause… can’t wait for Steven…
And just when I say this Swampert gets one-shot with Freeze-Dry <3
I love surprises, though a minor setback at best.
Lol. My Swampert always survived. Though 2x damaged hurts…
Freeze-dry is actually 4x… also my Swampert is Naïve 😀
No. It only affects the water typing. If it were 4x my Swampert would always be KO’D
Yeah but Ground is weak against ice.
Water is weak against Freeze-dry.
4x.
It does neutral damage. The effect of the attack is “super effective against water types.” It doesn’t do away with the water typing. Its Neutralx2 after the ability.
Smogon thinks it’s 4x…
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/freeze-dry.3490803/
I think your Pert is living because of decent bulk, level and freeze-dry only 70 base power.
smogon no
Is NL here I need to speak with him?
No. He’s in Texas.
every time i see NL, i keep thinking of Northernlion
