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









One more question, How do you get trainers in your secret base?
Use either Chloroform or Candy
When u enter someone else s base u talk to the main person. They’ll ask u to either battle or become base pals
I just got OR, byee, HEADING TO PLAY THIS AWESOME SHIT! 😀
well might as well start AS
I really don’t have any incentive to breed competitively….
Can you have Primal Groudon+Kyogre+Mega RayRay+Another mega on your team?
Rayquaza counts as your mega so you can’t have another.
Primal forms don’t.
So assuming species clause, you can have both primals and a mega.
Does Desolate Land affect Solar Power?
It should, I believe it counts as sunny weather.
Oh yeah.
You gonna share?
I live halfway across the world so sadly I can’t directly share to most of the junglers… but I will spread it wherever I go. I always bring my 3DS and never turn off streetpass. (Except in airplanes lel.)
And congratz on that
I will never get one.
You eventually will. 🙂
Just believe.
I BELIEVE!!!!!
Did you streetpass someone for it? or go to an event? Either way: Awesome you got it!
I’m pretty sure he StreetPassed.
Yeah it was streetpass.
Forgot this one (ref)
What secret base spots would you reccomend?
I love any base spots that’s near flight points.
There are two right outside the Safari Zone.
There’s also a base spot west of Mauville that I used to have before the Safari Zone base.
Also any of the spots in the Secret Islet, etc. since they can be flied directly to.
Lol. I believe I just found SilverRioluALPHA’s YouTube channel.
wat link now.
It has a video of his face, I don’t want to link it unless he gives me permission. Sorry.
Why is it so hard to find a Girafarig in the Safari Zone? When I first went in there, they were popping out everywhere!
They ruined the whole idea of the Safari zone ughhh
Why do we have to supply our own pokeballs? I liked safari balls. Plus, in RSE, the whole idea that you couldn’t get a group of pokemon until postgame was awesome, but now it’s all there.
>saying ORAS ruined something
>saying ORAS is bad
>7.8/10 too much water
>ShinyLickitung is IGN confirmed
They kinda did ruin the Safari
I know. But did you ever even use the Safari?
Actually, yes. In fact, the safari zone in Emerald was where i found my first ever shiny: Mareep. I spent too much time there, but it was worth it.
I’ve never ever used it.
But speaking of first shines, mine was a Magcargo in Platinum.
Stark Mountain
Not in ORAS
So no gym leader rematches? 🙁
who does give the super training to you?
Wally once you help him catch Ralts.
thanks!
Why is it that sometimes when I use the dexnav, and I have everything showing for a pokemon like their potential and stuff, I’ll still get an exclamation mark over the silhouette? It’s been bugging me because I can’t think of any reason.
Shiny chance? Dunno. Does the other “s” website that must not be named have any idea?
Not that I’ve seen. But I have been encountering these ones, just in case of a shiny chance.
Each filled star is an IV of 31 so 3 filled stars mean it is a 3IV+ pokemon
I knew that, but there’s an extra exclamtion mark over the silhouette of the pokemon with everything else showing. Trying to figure it out because it’s bugging me.
Haven’t seen it but it’s probably that it has a high chance of being shiny, maybe
The exclamation over the silhouette means its a higher level than normal, i think
Exclamation marks something is unique. It can be egg move, hidden ability, good potential, higher level, or a mix of them. It’s just a way of saying “Hey, maybe you’ll like this one more than others. Check it out.”
I believe it is when a pokemon is not normally found in that route like trubbish or shellos on route 110
This makes sense because it’s mostly Pidgeotto’s in the safari zone
Hey guys, long time no see hehe I finished OR last sunday and I have to say that I think it is one of the best games ever! I also bought AS and I’m thinking of playing it soon.
Hey!
Hi 🙂
I’m bored, anyone wanna battle?
I’ve been watching a lot of ORAS wifi battles lately (by watching, I mean playing in the background while I play AS) and I’ve been seeing a lot of Mega Lopunnys.. OU? OU.
Well it does check Aegislash and Mega Gengar.
I can finally start breeding for my living dex because I found a mirage spot with Ditto! These games are so close to my heart <3
Can I get a shiny reshiram or is it shiny locked?
R.I.P. Shiny Lock. You fought valiantly. Go ahead and hunt for Shiny Reshiram.
Shiny lock no longer exists.
Awesome! thx
Wow, Tate and Liza are the easiest Gym Leaders ever.
ikr I beat them in 2 turns with blaziken and gallade
Would have been nice to have the story they gave us with the Emerald Gym Leader teams. It would have made things more challenging
european versions released! just starting mine right now ;’ ) pure nostalgasm since R&S were my first 🙂
Emerald was my first!
Pearl was my first 😛
Ew. Sinnoh.
but sinnoh has gallade and Cynthia 🙁
Cynthia is nothing compared to Iris. Sorry. I guess its just personal preference.
you know I actually like iris aswell, infact I like unova as a whole
Good. Unova confirmed.
I cant wait to see castelia and skyarrow bridge in a more awesome and better 3d
And Yancy in 3D. And Alder in 3D. And freaking Skyarrow. As an Upstate New Yorker, I love Unova.
No it’s fact
Sapphire was my first!
I need competitive Pokemon ideas…..
Mega Lopunny

So I was trying to fish for a Staryu (couldn’t find any, found out you had to use a Super Rod) but I’ve already chained a few Pokes.. Then BAM! I found a Shiny Tentacool xD
Faint it
That was so rude of it
You was just looking for Staryu and now tentacool wants to be rude and shine? He gets no love!
Truuuu
Too much Tentacool 7.8/10
I like Shiny Starmie better.

For people with iPhones, download the Ultra Dex app. It’s like $5, but useful. For Android users, download Poke Type. It’s $2. Both are extremely useful though.
