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









Earthen what is your Trainer ID?
IAN same as always
Nono, I mean the number XD
I overleveled my shiny wailmer and now it won’t listen, lmao.
where’d you find that?
In the ocean.
i mean did you catch it in the wild or MM?
It’s a whale
You’re bumming me out bro…
You don’t deserve to know my water type secrets
eww
Too much water
Will it be shiny underwater? D:
Idk. ;-;
Give it a snickers and tell em, you’re not yourself when you’re angry
LOL Well done MewMew! =)
*Chico hands Snickers to Wailmer*
Chico: Better?
Wailmer: WAAAILL! (“Better!”)
There is a glitch…
The hiker wasnt look at me he was looking up And down then he just randomly saw me. I was just standing beside him and he didn’t look at me when he saw me, and he challenged me to a battle
I realized that too with some of the trainers
It’s more realistic actually
So where is that girl that tells you about conttests?
slateport
I know that but i can’t find her anywhere
Maybe go to the contest hall lol
where on slateport?
You suck at Pokemon games
Or exploring lol
Srsly i’ve been in every home and building.
So nobody never found mega Miltoic or mega flygon?
nuuupe
Guess you were right. I was kinda hoping for some secert megas in game. I still don’t think it was a good idea for game freak to reveal all the megas 😐
They are confirmed not to be in the coding for the game as it stands now but there are hints in game to suggest that things like more mega’s and BF etc are going to be added later. It is all just well backed speculation at the moment since the games have only been out for a day or 2.
Those meteorite stones rights?
Well there are NPC’s that talk about hearing of more pokemon reacting to mysterious stones so it suggests more are coming. These NPC’s are alongside those that talk about the construction of the Battle Frontier.
What are all he pokemon in petalburg woods?
I found wurmple Silcoon taillow slakoth shroomish and zigzagoon
What is The Last One?
Cascoon
Must be a very low pecent Becausese I cant Fnd any
I found one by sneaking only
What’s with you an only finding pokemon with sneaking? 😛
I found one just by walking around, again
I HAVE A TERRIBLE RNG ;~;
Where in slateport is the girl thst tells you about contests?
just play the game, it’ll rope u in itself
Cascoon! I caught a Wurmple and named it you. Unfortunately it evolved into Beautifly, but you just won me the 2nd badge!! 😀
I knew I Could do it!!
Thanks sweetie
heh heh…. So the charizard plush pre-order bonus is for in store pick up only….
So now i have to wait longer AND not even get anything extra, which was one of the few reasons I pre-ordered anyways! Today just gets better and better
Where did you pre-order from
Toys ‘R Us
A i said, they had charizard plushes as a pre-order bonus. I like displaying my pokemon stuff so I loved this. But nope :/
Shoulda just went and picked it up ;~;
Yeah, I can’t change it though, already processed and everything
I still care
Wait….I you freakin kidding me….all i had to do was try and walk out of slateport….
damn it, the stupid Dexnav never finds me any super rare Poke
Omg, I just met Steven for the first time in Granite cave ;~; So thankful to be short in this game, couldn’t stop staring directly at his crotch 😉
Savor every second :’) don’t stare too hard or it might fall off LOL

Now soft-resetting for a good Beldum
Going to play with Azure in amie for a bit before getting back to breeding, she’s anxious to spread her wings in oras~
:O MY Beldum is evolving! Yay!
2 hours later and 172 SRs later, still not giving up.
Did anyone else notice the shiny Primal Kyogre on the title screen?
Wait it was shiny?
shiny Primal Kyogre !!! i want to see it where?
This is a must see :O just thinking how beautiful the title screen must be ;~;
And good luck on your SR! 😀
Still haven’t beaten the first gym after 3 hours of playing.
I have been intense training, catching every pokemon on every route, and experiencing the music.
AND SNEAKING IS AMAZING SO MANY IVS AND EGG MOVES!
Maybe tomorrow I’ll beat it?
My team so far:
Mudkip lv15
Seedot lv13
Ralts lv13
Skitty lv8
And in Smash Wii U news…
I got my Yoshi amiibo.
Remade Route 23 from BW2 in stage creator.
Played 8 player smash a lot with my brothers.
Unlocked no characters.
i haven’t gotten anything good from Sneaking
and how can you check ivs?
When it says potential it has stars under it.
Each star is a perfect IV.
well that ain’t happening to me
All i’ve seen was a Surskit with Fell Stinger, a Machop with Smelling Salts and a damn Numel with Endure nothing remotely usable
The more you find the pokemon, the higher chance of IVs, egg moves, and hidden abilities.
but i’ve been searching for 40 mins
Oh well
Ugh.. this is the third time playing the super secret training mission where I can get a dawn stone. Transferred a Garchomp over from bank. I won’t give up on this!!!
JUST GOT IT YASSSSSS!!!
Yes without even mentioning you answered my question, thanks!!!
ORAS has The best Bottom screen
Well, it’s certainly trolling me with the news!
I heard it is possible to tranfer pokemon via Pokebank directly from X/Y, However they have to be from Hoenn pokedex if you want them to evolve in ORAS. Is it true? Just like you couln’t get Crobat in LG/FR….
I just transferred my Garchomp over from bank so no.
Oh wait, to evolve? Idk then…
You did right, Garchomp is the final normal evolution so no worry. I will only transfer pokemon Hoenn and at their lowest level possible. My team is ready but Nintendo hates us so what can we do? GGs guys, enjoy!
The trick is to change your 3DS region to Australian. Then you buy/download it online, then you switch it back to what it was, and then play…
So where’s everyone at in their games? I’m in the middle of taking on Wattson’s gym, just evolved my Kirlia into Gallade!
Oceanic Museum just rotating through the pokemon i have caught to evolve them for the pokedex.
I just got the Miracle Seed
I played Smash a while ago so I’m only talking to Steven right now.
Where do you get the stone?
i’m one trainer away from meeting Aarune
got poch with ice fang
Did you start with Torchic?
yes but this is his brother
Ah
Because Torchic gets you an Ice Fang Pooch, Treecko gets you a Thunder Fang Pooch, Mudkip gets you a Fire Fang Pooch.
I didn’t know that! Good to know though.
i know right
who did you start with
Mudkip
got beldum
