Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire announced

I got two Gengar codes today when I preordered Alpha Sapphire. And promise of a poster when I go to pick up the game.

"Do you have Pokemon X or Y?"
"Uh, both."

I'll probably just give the second code away to someone who couldn't get one for some reason or another.

Meanie!
At least I will have my Mega Bird Jesus.
[MENTION=5254]Phoenix Wright[/MENTION]; I would love a code, but if someone else wants it they can have it instead. The store ran out of codes when I went to preorder Omega Ruby, but at least I can try and get the Diancie one when it comes out.

Trainer customization is not in the game. Apparently it was a Kalos-only thing, according to Masuda.

I am truly sick of them adding awesome features and then removing them in the next game. I understand certain things like contests or diving in Ruby and Sapphire, or the Underground in Diamond and Pearl. but something as simple and as desired as trainer customization...

And this just makes it even clearer that the new Soaring mechanic in ORAS is going to disappear in the next game.

B-but lilycove mall clothing store probably would've been awesome.. ; - ;

With secret bases I was hoping they'd go ham on customization, and with x/y's kinda low amount of choices, I thought it was just a trial for the real run that would be oras.

Like what do I spend my poke on now, for real.
With contests being hoenn's thing, they could at least add ball capsules, or whatever those things were in d/p that made splosions of varying colours and shapes when you send out your mon

The Pokedollar sinks in ORAS will probably be for Secret Bases/Contests. I'm thinking Secret Bases.

save it for me if possible, i don't think this promo is available in panama

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".

That's not the only one. Every single pokemon that evolves from a pokemon in the original Gen III dex was added.

Then it would appear I missed some in my quick skim through. Looks like I'll have to take closer look.

Okay, consider it yours.

I couldn't resist...

So, what are the scales you can get from the demo used for exactly? Not sure i wanna run through it another 4 times to get them if they arn't really worth it.

Heart Scales are given to a Move Reminder to relearn one move for one Pokémon.

Which is okay early on, but later in the game you can just spam fish for Luvdisc with a Banette with Frisk + Thief or something with CompoundEyes.

My blaziken will need to have fire punch (well flare blitz and brave bird now) early cause I cant deal with blaze misses, so I welcome these heart scales

It's a shame that it's the same dex, but at the same time idrc thaaat much. I have my team planned out, which is something I don't like to do, but can't really be helped.

For me it'll be
Blaziken Gardevoir Flygon Manectric Sharpedo/Milotic (whichever is easier or found earlier. Most likely sharpedo cause you know why)
Last spot looking pretty open, but might throw in absol cause it's an og
Also the chance of free starters again, so nothing set in stone

You guys have teams planned yet, or is it just me?



Still waiting for my mega luxray tho.

Planning.

M-Swampert, Flygon, Breloom, Crobat, special Walrein, ?

But special Walrein has crappy coverage...I need that special attacker though...

Sceptile and Aggron are all I know for sure so far. The rest will just be added as I go.

The official site updated with info on Mega Steelix and Mega Glalie.

Ooh ouch:

The excessive energy from its Mega Evolution gushes out of its mouth, blasting away and destroying its jaw. It is no longer able to close its mouth, and the freezing air it emits becomes far stronger. It tosses foes into its gaping mouth, expelling a burst of chilled air to freeze them instantly.

Good thing Mega Evolution is temporary.. but seriously, ouch.

also the US is getting Mega Glalie, not Steelix as predicted.

Well I wont be terribly disappointed if I don't get a demo code knowing that.

I've got a 5IV Adamant Tropius with Leaf Blade + Dragon Dance + Leech Seed ready to go, as well as a 3IV Timid Tanabata Jirachi and currently SRing for a Diancie.

Mega Klingklang confirmed:

 Spoiler

No but seriously, there should be new mega evolutions revealed on friday or saturday, sometime around then.

Sorry to dig up a really old post, but I couldn't find this miserable mega evolution on serebii's list of new megas. Was it proven fake? Didn't see a post in here, so I was just wondering.
