[Console] RSE Remakes. The hype is real.

[Gregoyle]

Yeah, after watching the video I'm curious about it's moveset's too.

 

[Luxray]

Seems pretty divided. Though I think Mega Slowbro can be easily substituded for a regular other pokemon, like a Chansey with an Eviolite.

Weewooweewoo

A new trailer has come out for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire has been revealed and showcases various aspects of the game including diving and more. There also appeared to be a feature where you can see parts of a Pokémon in the wild, such as Pikachu's tail, and approach it to appear in battle
In addition to this, it features details on the Japanese pre-order details. Pre-orders in Japan open on September 20th and all who pre-order will receive special figures of Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre, different to the ones Europe is receiving. If you pre-order a special double pack of the games (comes with both games and both figures) for 9,142¥, you will also receive 100 Potions through 2 Serial Codes, one for each game. If you download the digital version of the game between November 21st 2014 and November 30th 2014, you will receive 12 Quick Balls. We also got dating for the shiny Beldum event. It will run from November 21st 2014 until January 14th 2015
Edit @ 05:06: It is also confirmed, through images of the Download Card, that Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire will require approximately 1.8GB in order to download to your Nintendo 3DS. This is a further 100MB more than Pokémon X & Y
Edit @ 07:05: In addition to the above pre-order bonuses, if you pre-order two copies at Pokémon Centers in Japan, you will also receive a special Hoenn Artbook, and if you pre-order just one, you get the aforementioned figures as well as a shiny metallic poster of the box-art

The first images for this month have started to appear. In this image, from the magazine Weekly Shonen Sunday, it confirms that, in next month's issue of CoroCoro, due out on October 15th, a special serial code will be given. This Serial Code offers you a trial version of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire which appears to have you pick between Grovyle, Combusken & Marshtomp and ends with the obtaining of a Mega Evolution. We'll bring more on this as it comes
Edit @ 09:33: Mega Gallade revealed
Edit @ 09:39: Mega Sharpedo & Mega Camerupt have also been confirmed. Mega Sharpedo has the ability Strong Jaw while Mega Camerupt has Sheer Force
Edit @ 09:46: Primal Kyogre has a new ability called Sea of Beginnings and Primal Groudon has a new ability called Land of Endings. They activate what is called Strong Rain and Strong Sunlight respectively. It is not known how different this is to normal. Primal Groudon's new move is called Cliff's Blade
Edit @ 09:49: Mega Camerupts Speed is decreased, but every other stat is increased while all of Sharpedo's stats get an increase

 

[Luxray]

Mega Gallade has a freaking cape. Is it knows what types it is? (Psy/Fight would be pretty dissapointing, unless it has some awesome ability)

 

[Gregoyle]

Spoke too soon.

The next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the upcoming game Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. This continues on from yesterday's information and reveals Primal Kyogre's new move, Origin Wave. Rayquaza is also said to hold a secret to Mega Evolution. It also states clarifications about the demo version of the game. You will see a Mega Evolution for the first time in this demo, and you can then transfer it, as well as items you collect, over to the main games when they are released. It is also hinted that, if you play the demo every day, something special will happen
Edit @ 06:09: Mega Gallade details confirmed. It is Psychic/Fighting-type still, and has the ability Inner Focus

 

[Gregoyle]

TBH Primal Groudon has the biggest advantage. Let's be honest, why does a Water type need to block fire?

The Pokémon Company has uploaded a new trailer which showcases all of the new information and Mega Evolutions from the past week. Primal Kyogre's ability is Primordial Sea and it blocks Fire-type moves and changing the weather. Its move is Origin Pulse. Primal Groudon's ability is Desolate Land and it blocks Water-type moves and changing the weather. It's move is Precipice Blades. Both moves can hit multiple opponents. The new weathers are permanent but fade when the Pokémon is switched out
The demo version has also been confirmed the west
Edit @ 15:08: Screenshots have been added to our pre-release Screenshot page
Edit @ 15:11: The Global Link and Pokémon Bank have also been confirmed to be compatible
Edit @ 15:15; The Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Soundtrack to come to Japan on December 3rd while the Pokémon Center will receive special edition New Nintendo 3DS units in Japan. These come for 19000¥

 

[Gregoyle]

So it finally happened.
I'm wondering what the full effect of Air Stream is though.

The livestream for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Sapphire has been airing and has revealed some new footage will be interspersed with their playthrough of Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire. We'll be posting everything that is noteworthy. It started off showing the two trainers meeting upstairs. We'll bring more as it comes so keep checking back.
Edit @ 12:16: So far, aside from the footage at the beginning, the footage shown is that which has been contained in previous trailers including meeting Roxanne in Rustboro City Gym, taking the boat from Petalburg to Dewford Town, and Team Aqua in the Oceanic Museum.
Edit @ 16:02: Mega Rayquaza has been revealed. It has a new ability called Delta Stream which creates a new weather effect that removes weather and makes moves of a type that Flying-type Pokémon are usually weak to will only deal normal damage to any Flying-type Pokémon in the battle. It lasts as long as Rayquaza is in battle
Edit @ 16:08: Trailer also shows a move called Dragon Ascent which is said to be the most powerful Flying-type move
16:14: Added Pre-Release Screenshots featuring Mega Rayquaza
16:16: The reason why Mega Rayquaza is a Mega Evolution and not a Primal Reversion is to be explained in the story. It will also Mega Evolve through a way different to other Pokémon
16:30: Updated the Mega Evolutions, New Abilities & New Attacks pages
Edit @ 16:45: The official site posted some of the lore behind Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre and Mega Rayquaza
Legend:

It was a primal age, early in the world's history... The natural world was overflowing with energy. That energy granted Groudon and Kyogre an overwhelming power. Seeking ever more of that energy for themselves, the two clashed again and again, and their battles cast the people and Pokémon of Hoenn into great danger. Brimming with the overwhelming power granted by the energy of nature, this transformation was named by later people "Primal Reversion." And the people called their tormentors Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.

One Pokémon looked down upon this battle from the sky above. The Pokémon that dances in the heavens: Rayquaza. Rayquaza is venerated by the people of Hoenn as their protector and savior. When Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre had battled for 20 dawns and 20 nights, the world began to lose its natural balance and tilt toward destruction. The people, unable to endure any more, cried out to their mighty savior Rayquaza before a great stone that shone with rainbow brilliance. And a change came upon Rayquaza, weaving in the sky above Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. Suffused in brilliant light, its body began to transform visibly. And then...

Mega Beedrill is probably one of my favorite Mega evolutions now....

The next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the upcoming game Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. While pictures have yet to be posted, the information that has come out is set to reveal Mega Latios, Mega Latias as well as two brand new Megas, Mega Pidgeot and Beedrill. Images of these specific parts of CoroCoro are yet to come, so it's technically unconfirmed, but the leakers have shown other parts of CoroCoro giving credence to this. We'll bring more, and pics, as they come so keep checking back.
Edit @ 09:45: Mega Pidgeot is Normal/Flying-type with the ability No Guard and Mega Beedrill is Bug/Poison-type with the ability Adaptability. You can fly on Mega Latios & Latias in the overworld and find Pokémon such as Reshiram, Zekrom, Dialga & Palkia in the sky. Latios is exclusive to Omega Ruby and Latias is exclusive to Alpha Sapphire.
Edit @ 10:00: The Eon Ticket is said to return through a special distribution. This makes Latias available in Omega Ruby and Latios available in Alpha Sapphire. | Edit @ 10:15: This ticket will be distributed via Serial Code in an upcoming issue
Edit @ 10:04: The Legendary Pokémon are found on islands that can only be found through areas on the sky and will make it so all non-event Legendary Pokémon will be obtainable in Generation VI. You access the sky through the Eon Flute item
Edit @ 10:14: You can also encounter various other Pokémon in the wild within the clouds over Hoenn.

So we can now get almost all possible legendaries within 2 versions? Way to rip out the storylines of the other versions.

So we can now get almost all possible legendaries within 2 versions? Way to rip out the storylines of the other versions.

I wonder the same how they're going to do that.

Are mega latias and latios the same? Only difference I can spot is on the back there is a white thingy and the different ears.

I like the new mega evolutions but I hope they won't go overboard with it.

 

[Gregoyle]

Glalix?
Also that flying......

On the Global Link, there will be a special ORAS League.

The first details from the Pokémon ORAS demo have come in and have revealed Mega Steelix. We're still working on getting details so please stand by. Mega Glalie is also in the demo. Mega Steelix gets the Sand Force ability
Edit @ 17:51: Mega Glalie gets the ability Refrigerate and is pure Ice-type
Edit @ 23:00: Our coverage of the demo begins. Out of respect for those who wish to be unspoiled, the contents of the demo shall be within this spoiler tage. The demo is 2000 blocks, approx. 250MB

Demo info

During the demo, you start off by going to an island where Team Aqua and Magma are hunting for a specific Pokémon. This Pokémon is Glalie or Steelix depending on where your game is from. Steelix in Japan, Glalie in Europe and Korea. After that, you can play the demo multiple times to get more things. This takes you to several islands where you have certain tasks. At the end, you will either get more people in Mossdeep City or items to send to Pokémon ORAS on its release. For example, after three plays, you can get PokéBalls to send to Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire and Heal Balls on the fifth.
00:31: There are five island layouts upon which you can visit, each with random Pokémon. The task for each island changes from finding Pokémon to battling various trainers or battling one Elder trainer.
00:42: Heart Scales can also be transferred
00:53: Gifts seem to stop after the 10th playthrough where you battled against an Elder who has Sceptile, Blaziken, Swampert and Hariyama. You get Heart Scales at the end

Just got the demo,there are three things i don't like.
- Most of the game is in regular 3D, so no 3D effects.
- The movement is sometimes slightly off (d-pad and circle pad)
- NPC do not show any sort of living expect when you talk to them. In Pokemon Colosseum /XD a npc would show some kind of a living animation, while the npc's in Pokemon X,Y,OR,AS don't !!

All in all i would give the game a 7.5, the game looks good (despite the lack off 3D effects and the "non" moving characters).
For now i was not able to "see" the nature of my Pokemon directly. It can't be seen in battle and i could not find it outside a battle when checking the Pokemon stats (maybe i am blind). Indirectly it can be found when looking at the stats. The boosted stats are slightly red and the tweaked stats are slightly blue. (On this way it is not possible to see what "neutral" nature your Pokemon would have)

How to get a demo for Europe (without going out house)
- Download Hola (google chrome extension)
- Put it on United kingdom
