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









i wanna a shiny buneary Dx
How can plusle always get the Paralysis on my ralts??? HOW? >:(
Wat. Whats the level cap for your pokemon not listening to you with zero badges?
I think it’s 20 if I’m not mistaken
then why is my beldum “loafing around” at lv. 11?
Did you trade it?
It’s the event one.
So technically speaking, yes, yes he did
das y
Because you are not its original trainer- it will not obey until you get your first badge which will tame it until Lvl: 20 and then it goes up in 10’s per badge.
pretty low, especially if traded
THE OCEANIC MUSEUM MUSIC <3
IKRRRR
ITS SO GOOD. ITS AMAZING. AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING #HOENN <3
A remix of a remix :’)
OCEANIC MUSEUM >> SS ANNE
OCEANINC MUSEUM>>>ANYTHING
This dexnav Electrike knows Flameburst! THIS GAME OMG <3
T_T my first WT Pokemon is a Scatterbug…
I would love that! Leavanny is AWESOME!
Scatterbug
I thought you said Sewaddle, my bad.
Can ORAS WT with XY too?
The starters are not shiny locked right?
Also what was that thing about certain ID numbers having more luck with shinies?
Having a pyramid (like 12321)
And i can’t remember if Zeroes are good or not…
But i know the lower the numbers are, the better
10037 is good then? 😀
guess so :3
Better than mine (53741)
My original ID was 45743, I got pretty close, new one is 37438
It’s my original ID too 😀 In Emerald my ID was 00005
This is cool to know. But i won’t worry about it in AS. When I get to OR though… Reshiram, I’ll be coming for you.
I’m going to SR it will be my new life.
After I play through the first time, I’m gonna see if someone can hold my Pokemon while I play again. I will SR for a good ID and a Shiny starter.
A WURMPLE?
UGHHHHHH Petalburg fodder
Maybe it’s because everyone is around there since the game just came out lol XD
Now a Paras….
I swear if the next WT is a Bug i’m going to punch somebody in the mouth
*Genesect
*Punches GoH in the Mouth*
Nearly shattered my moncle. Be more careful next time.
I love how everyone is like
OMG I’m going to SR hunt for all the legendaries now!!?!1
And i’m like: You don’t even know the half of it 😛
Teach me your ways.
Takes so much patience ;~;
Shiny Palkia i need
I NEED SHINY RESHIRAM!
THe fact that there not shiny locked has made many people extremly happy
:D:D:D:D:D
I have a very large patience. I hunted shiny hawlucha for 4 months straight.
I’m only going for a shiny Mudkip for an hour so I can at least play the game but not because I’m giving up because I literally would SR for it
Same here, didn’t bother trying to SR for a shiny Mudkip b/c I’m going to hunt for mostly all my shinies in OR :3
Planning on doing at least Treeko, Numel, and the 2 of the starter pokemon (1 in OR, the other in AS), and some legendaries
Awesome, good luck! 😀
I named my mudkip memekip lol
Oh BTW WT Shows what Pokeball the Poke is in!!!
and i got a Pancham
I literally just spent 43 turns vs a zigzagoon.
WHY????
Sucker punch poocheyena, the computer’s AI found out what i was doing and spammed tail whip and growl, was forced to spam howl until struggle came in
battle of epic proportions
THe Kaputops’s claws move! Thsts a nice touch!
So are the primals shiny locked ;~;
I really hope they aren’t. But i wouldn’t put it past gamefreak. Seems like something they would do…
pls no pls no pls no
Need dem shinies
Actually, I’m going to hunt nonstop until I get the Mudkip, even if it takes days
Good luck! =)
Thanks 😀
Good luck man, took me a month of hunting (consecutively) for Fennekin in X/Y, but each SR took about 2 mins 😛
How many encounters in total? O_O
About 7000
I just fainted.
SRing game too strong congratz on it!
Wow good luck with that
LISIA THOUGH <3
Lisia is bae.
Wally’s encounter theme <3
Anybody know where to find a fishing rod? I’m on the fifth gym.
There’s one on Dewford, the old rod.
Well in RS, you could get the Old Rod in Dewford, in a house next to the gym
A fisherman gives you one at the route west of Mauville.
Good rod.
East of Mauville*
Whatevx
West is route 117 with the Day Care 😉
Yeah.
Tank you
Could you post a post a pic for me?
This was it in RSE, the fisherman was standing on the east beach
The house to the right of the gym (Old Rod) *rf
