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









Imagine the backlash if they do decide that the game we get for 2015 is Delta Emerald. “Cash grab” “They should’ve added these in ORAS” “Too much Hoenn 7.8/10”
I’d agree actually if it was just ORAS with Differences from Emerald. If Delta Emerald had a different plot and protagonists, I’d buy it tho.
I imagine it playing B/W 2 to ORAS
I’d cry
I imagine Zinnia would be a main character, and we’d learn more about Aster and her back story.
Well, we could have a game that does that and also be kalos sequels.
Hoenn and Kalos have many connections, they can explore the war,mega evos,Zinnia,AZ and AZOTH more in the new games.
They could take place in Kalos,but give us the option of going to Hoenn in postgame.
I imagine it connecting the regions, as AZ’s floette is currently in Hoenn
Gamefreak isn’t that stupid.
The next game should be kalos sequels, which also have a connection with hoenn.
The storyline of xy and delta episode could all be leading to a huge game with an awesome story, and that game SHOULD NOT be Delta emerald.
Oh btw i heard that Sonic Boom made the “Worst Games ever made” list on Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_notable_for_negative_reception
yup
Also they botched the Final Boss Formula
Sonic literally is on the list TWICE. Sega, just actually work on your games please.
Garchompite requires 1000 flags? That’s insane. 1000 anything to unlock something is never a good idea.. Luckily, it’s not a new stone introduced in ORAS.
Luckily it’s not a good mega.
>:(
Sweeps yo ass
Sorry, but I have to agree Mega Garchomp is garbage compared to its base form with items… 🙂
There are better megas out there. Including rock and ground-type ones…
I take it out before it sweeps. I’ve never been swept by M. Garchomp.
that speed drop is too bad
It is given by Aarune, a Flygon user.
Sakuraaaaaai!Gaaaame freeeeaaaakkkkk!!!!
This song will never not be perfect.
Literally a musical master piece.

The scene with May? That was so well done. I wish the entire game was like that.
I wish every game was like that
THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
Thanks. I love this song.
May best rival? May best rival.
May best rival.
I can’t believe how well written the characters in ORAS were.
I recently looked back at the original R/S/E dialogue and couldn’t believe how well ORAS gave the characters personality.
But what if I’m using May…
Only play as May if you’re female, the intimate moments feel weird if you’re like me
Haha not really.
I can easily pretend I’m Brendan in that case.
so many megas now, is so hard to build a team on showdown now
>Mega Salamence
>Mega Rayquaza holding life orb or assault vest
win
exactly my problem, i have to build a team that has atleast a member that can counter those crazy megas and i thought last game was hard lol
Just do contests :^)
just showdown for me no 3ds
They should have online contests
they’re so fun in ORAS
ALL THAT FUCKING WAITING AND THEY KILLED THE BOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|
I SPENT ALL DAY AND THEY DIDN”T WAIT FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*patpats* 8 more hours
Wrong move scamp…
sCAmP
now i gotta wait another 20-81 Hours for it to EFFING RESPAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well i’m going to bed,
So freaking typical……

gets me every time
Ok ign… ok (rf)
Wtf
OoooOoo
They have a storm coming.
A ****storm…
Read their Kirby Tripe Deluxe review. I can’t believe I used to like IGN.
I just read it..
Their reviews are so childish and pathetic they sound more like 4 year olds ranting.
I love Kirby 3D. I had it since it came out! >:O
shadyyy
I am just so freaking unhappy…
Must….resist….
It’s ok, we all have our bad days.
I have them way more then anyone else…
Nobody gets more raw deals then me everyone knows it
I’m building my own living dex in my AS right now. I know I got shiny charm in Y but it was because of using the “chain of deals” strategy which naturally lost me a few pogeymans including Lugia…
I’m also taking the free BP I accumulated in the Pokémon bank… 311 BP. Cool!
I’m finished attempting to build gens1-2 with what I have in the bank and all I can say is SO MANY HOLES 🙂
BTW I love the top screen of the Pokedex.
Hello Mr. finished attempting to build gens1-2 with what I have in the bank and all I can say is SO MANY HOLES :)BTW I love the top screen of the Pokedex.
Here, take my 65,535 downvotes.
I JUST SWEPT STEVEN WITH JUST A TORKOAL OMFGOMOFGOMFOMG
I am at a loss of words, this game was absolutely OUTSTANDING. The finale was just, no words can describe it. 10/10
Out of principle I will buy this game only when mega milotic is announced, game looks epic but mega audino and no mega milotic … I didn’t think so
You don’t lose anything if you buy it now and they add Mega Milotic later…
I had to send my brand new Latias to X/Y for EV training… so I can battle maison on my AS at the same time.
When are we going to have a battle search system for 6v6?
Triples is 6v6…
Also Pokémon Showdown. 🙁
But yeah I know what you mean. No singles ladder/matchmaking. Makes me sad just like no online contest spectaculars…
UUHHG
My sister brought her roommate’s dog (which pretty much everyone hates at this point) here so we could watch him while she is in Europe for the holidays. I guess her roommate can’t because work? But now I have to go month with the most annoying dog I’ve ever seen.
Lol, I think I found your YouTube channel.
Sigghhhhhh… what kind of dog
Just found a Shiny Numel ^-^
Gonna use her on my team in OR c:
ConflatulatheionS1!
Coongratz
Congrats! 😀
Congrats!
Wait.. Are Kalos-born pokes allowed in ORAS Battle Spot? O.O
Yep. If you pick ORAS league then only the pentagon Pokemon are allowed which includes Kalos.
Ohh ok, thnx haha
Ug s is going a annoying breed
There should be an item that makes pokemon give birth NOT to baby pokemon
That first line sounds like you are attempting to hate on a popular shoe brand commonly worn by animals.
Ahh, home from work, time to relax and pokemon it up.
Is the Shiny Beldum thing still up?
Yeah
kk starting my Ground Mono
Least there was one nice thing that happened to me
Adamant Mudkip off the bat
New pokemon Adventures chapters came out today if anyone cares
For which region?
The egg hatching screen is pretty cute.
I’m at Sea Mauville right now and just read Professor Cozmo’s letters to his dad. Dem feels ;~;
