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









Just one question, in R/S/E doesn’t Birch take the starter you chose back to his lab to give it back to you? When he gives it back to it should be shiny assuming it was shiny the first time?
It should be
It will stay shiny, yes.
It’s so surreal playing in Hoenn again like this, just wow

Best the 5th gym so far played for 6 hours. Where are you?
Cycling Road, dealing with electric types… at about 4.5 hours.
Almost at 3rd gym.
i just beat Wattson
(Note i had to blow leaves for 2 hours so i’m way behind)
3hrs, Route 104 😛
7 Hours 20 Minutes just away to do gym number 2 ( i got a little carried away with the dex nav for a few hours there but im on track now)
seriously WHERE ARE WE GOING TO BREED AND HATCH
Battle Resort? ;-;
I’m not much of a breeder myself do idk
only place I can think of atm is cycling road
ughhhhhhh they turned Mauville into a bloated maze and the Daycare Man is at a weird angle from a linear path……
Wait the daycare is in Mauville and not the route next to it?
it is in the route to the west but instead of Mauville being a straight line its a whole mall complex
Hm I won’t be of much help here,don’t have the games yet so not sure what it looks like tbh, but if not cycling road maybe another open space is available somewhere
There’s a great spot for it. don’t worry
I’m worried about you.
There’s a great spot for it. don’t worry

is Disqus wonking up for anybody?
Yeah its being weird.. probably just the traffic.
Why can’t rock smash just be a TM? I know it was an HM but I think it’s really inconvenient to have to wait until Lilycove to get rid of it…

Hoopa is playing its tricks on Disqus and warped everything… that little troublemaker.
Sounds legit, Hoopa can’t get enough of causing mischief

Any spare speed boost adamant carvahnas lying around?

I don’t know either to laugh at you or slap you…
It’s ok, it took me eleven years to finally ‘get’ the Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres joke. The wonder of the human brain, lol.
The brain is a fascinating and annoying mass of electric nerve tissue
You still need to beat the older brother in Victory Road
Or notify him that his family has been slaughtered
and probably request a relocation protocol cause i’ma commin’
OMFG Slateport and the ocean museum! >3!!!!
The DexNav is the best thing to ever happen to the Pokemon franchise.
It reminds me of the way Paul used his Pokedex in the DP series of the anime. He used to check which moves pokemon knew before he caught them etc
