Not sure how I feel about Wallace.

Fabulous as pineapple.

There are still mega evolutions to be discovered in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The article is in Portuguese so I just did a google translate with some fixed words (makes more sense):

Eurogamer : Are there more mega evolutions to reveal?

Shigeru Ohmori : Yes, there are many Pokémon with mega evolutions in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and some have not yet been revealed. We expect players to explore the game and find out for themselves.

Eurogamer : Is Dragonite one of the mega evolutions to be revealed?

Shigeru Ohmori : You like a lot of Dragonite, do you not?

Eurogamer : Yes (laughs).

Shigeru Ohmori : I want to save some surprises for the game, so you'll have to play to find out.

The character art is fantastic.

Really like that adult bug catcher though. He's so creepy looking.

Also, I just thought of something. Since we can complete the dex with XY + ORAS than that means we'll get the Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova starters in ORAS, as Kanto and Kalos were in XY.

We can complete the dex with both games? I thought they just said we can catch all legendaries. Where is this stated?

That's really cool! Maybe it'll be through a feature similar to the safari we got after the game in X/Y where everyone got 3 pokemon in theirs.

[MENTION=9743]Crowhogan33[/MENTION]; Dragonite huh? So...Dragonitite?

I got a spare EU demo code if anyone wants it, send me a PM if you do!

EDIT: If you PM me and I don't reply it's because i'm sleeping

 Day 2 leaked stuff so far

• Hoopas form is 21 feet tall.
  
• We now know how Primal Reversion should be triggered:
  
   Spoiler
  

  Primal Reversion should be triggered by Red / Blue Orb as a held item. They are no longer Key Items.
  Jade Orb: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1F 02 00 00 00 00 00 FF [00..] Still Key Item
  Red Orb: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1F 00 00 00 00 01 00 68 [00..]
  Blue Orb: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1F 00 00 00 00 01 00 68 [00..]
  Key Items have 3F/1F "02", as the 9th bit of that u16 is the "Key Item" flag. Red/Blue no longer have them!
  Stubbed Key Items (that shouldn't be obtainable) usually are FF for bag position priority.
  
• Mega/Primal marks and XY badges (dunno why these are here)
  
• Pokemon Height listing
  
• VS Seeker is still an unusable key item.
  
• Hyperspace Fury for some reason is coded to fail when used by any Pokemon other than Hoopa.
  
• Cloud Nine move usage is not restricted by Heavy Weather, Mold Breaker however is still restricted.
  
• Switching/fainting a Pokemon with a heavy weather ability will cause it to cease.
  
• Switching in a Heavy Weather Pokemon will override the current Heavy Weather.
  
• Switching in a Heavy Weather will override existing Heavy Weather (last in speed bracket).

Pokemon Files (PKX/EKX) easily dumped, SHINY VALUES return for ORAS (as expected). No change in size/usage structure. Pokemon memories confirmed to be in ORAS. Assuming no modification when traded, ORAS mons will show a Pentagon in X/Y.

Demo's game-origin value is 26, right after X/Y's 24/25. Alpha Sapphire is 26, which is the demo's base; Omega Ruby is 27. Only 2 more games can display a Pentagon on X/Y (28/29), subsequently numbered games will not.

Hoenn Regional Dex

Found this fan-art of Hoopa's other form, I like it:

 Spoiler

I think it has a really great design.

Also I like how the Hoenn region dex is pretty much the same as the original, except it includes the evolutions introduced afterwards like Rhyperior, Gallade and Probopass.

Double post, but eh.
"Mega" Hoopa is actually a form change and not a mega evolution. It changes form through a key item.

wallace reminds me of what rock bands in the 70s would wear haha

We now know how compatability will work between X/Y & ORAS:

Battles:

Online and wireless battles in the games remains exactly the same as before. While between Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire games you can do and use anything, when you connect with players of Pokémon X & Y, there are several restrictions. Essentially, you cannot use any of the new Mega Evolutions, new Primal Reversions, new items, new moves and new abilities in battle against these players. The game will inform you as you select your team whether or not it can be used.

The Battle Spot changes this up somewhat. In Free Battle, Pokémon X & Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire run different matchmaking schemes so they will never encounter each other. In Rating Battle, they also run different schemes, with Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's scheme changing somewhat from the standard of Pokémon X & Y

• ΩR/αS League: Open only for players of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. This league lets you only use Pokémon that were caught, hatched or distributed in Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire.
  
• XY League: Open only for players of Pokémon X & Y. This league lets you only use any Pokémon, including those that were transferred from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 or White 2.
  

Trades:

Trading is the other one of the core aspects of Pokémon and also has several restrictions. Many of these restrictions will be akin to those in Pokémon X & Y where you couldn't trade Pokémon holding the Discount Coupon online. Like battling, you won't be able to trade Pokémon who hold any of the new Mega Stones over to Pokémon X & Y, but you can trade them fine between various copies of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. You also cannot trade Pokémon who have the new moves that are introduced in the new game.

Currently, it is not clear as to how the special PSS features of Wonder Trade and the Global Trade Station will run, whether or not they run separate servers for the two games or if there will be restrictions.

Pokémon Bank:

Pokémon Bank is a piece of software that was introduced after Pokémon X & Y to store the various Pokémon obtained in the game. Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire will contain full compatibility with Pokémon Bank at launch.

As Pokémon Bank removes the items that are on the Pokémon before putting them in the Bank, compatibility isn't much of an issue. However, it is not currently known how the software will handle the new moves, as to whether they'll upload and not be able to be moved to Pokémon X & Y later, or if they'll be blocked from uploading.

So we are back to gsc time machine huh.

Huh...interesting.

Comment on the regional dex. Don't click the tag if you don't want to see it.

 Spoiler

The dex seems almost identical to the original games, save for the addition of Froslass.
I suppose the whole being able to catch every pokemon will be part of the "post game".

Edit:
This is probably a really late realization, but as I spent the last hour and a half coding an android application for one of my classes whilst listening to various iconic pokemon theme music, I realized that we are getting an updated/remixed copy of the R/S/E Soundtrack. Much hype!

DESTROY HM06 AT ALL COSTS.

y u do this

Also, for those of you in Canada, seems a decent number of EBGames stores are giving out the Diancie codes early. They gave me one when I went to check if they got the Gengar ones in yet.
