{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VIIIIIII]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014 with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mostly the same as Ruby and Sapphire with a few changes.

The player starts their journey in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved in from the [[Johto]] region after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the moving van, which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the van, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets their [[Rival|pseudo-rival]] (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, he/she soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds their pseudo-rival on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some [[Poké Ball]]s. When leaving through the Route 101, the player runs into the pseudo-rival who gives him/her a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him/her how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, they meet with their father at the Gym, where he tells them that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman to help him catch a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the nine [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader.

At the [[Rustboro Gym]], the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the {{key|IV|Devon Goods}} back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. The player heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but the room where Steven is blocked by curious Hikers. They are gone by the time the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]]. The player finds Steven in the Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that he/she could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling the pseudo-rival, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. At the end of Route 114 is [[Meteor Falls]], inside which the player finds Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}. This time, they have stolen a valuable {{key|IV|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly, the scene is interrupted by the appearance of the opposite-version's team, which causes the thieves to retreat to [[Mt. Chimney]] with the stolen meteorite. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting over the meteorite; after fighting an admin of the primary evil team, [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, lets the player take and keep the meteorite, and retreats.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player is given the [[Go-Goggles]] by their pseudo-rival, who then suggests that the player challenge their father at the Petalburg Gym. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven realizes the legendary Pokémon is asking for help, and it takes both Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]] where the evil team admin [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} is terrorizing Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}. After fighting off the evil team, Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} decides to join the player's team and give him/her its Mega Stone. Steven awards the player with a Mega Bracelet and Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}} takes both of them back to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of more information on Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling the grunts, the player comes face to face with the admin [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who appears distressed with what he/she found out. After besting the admin, the player saves the institute and is given a Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, the pseudo-rival appears and battles the player, and they give away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]] but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the {{key|IV|Devon Scope}}, a Mega Stone and notices that the meteorite the player picked up from Mt Chimney emits light. The Devon Scope allows the player to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles his/her pseudo-rival again. After the battle, the pseudo-rival notices the meteorite shining in the player's bag, just like Steven did before.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}{{sup/6|AS}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him; the team then heads for Slateport City. The old couple that watch over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Once the player fights their way through to the center of the hideout, finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, they encounter an admin Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]], where he/she challenges Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. After this a pillar of light appears on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. Steven notices the player coming out of the Gym and invites him/her to his house, where he gives him/her the {{HM|07|Dive}} and the Devon Scuba Gear. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player has a showdown with the team leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After the battle, the player witnesses [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} arriving and trying to warn their leader against waking up the legendary Pokémon, but the leader dismisses the warnings and uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon breaks out of the cavern and starts moving towards [[Sootopolis City]], its power driving the weather all over Hoenn out of control. The leader realizes that he can't control the Pokémon's power at all; just then, the leader of the opposite team appears, and the two bosses team up to try to stop the rampage.

After the bosses leave, Steven appears and tells the player to catch up with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Sootopolis City]]. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]].

Upon arriving in front of the cave's entrance, Steven, Wallace and the player meet up with the leaders and admins of both teams, as well as the pseudo-rival. The player receives the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} and is told that the Orb he/she possesses has the power to weaken the ancient Pokémon. After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. He/she puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion. The player witnesses it undergo the transformation and fights it. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather (seemingly) returns to normal, and the world is saved. Steven gives the player the Eon Flute and leaves.

After defeating [[Wallace]] at the [[Sootopolis Gym]], the latter gives out the final badge, {{Badge|Rain}}, and mentions that Prof Birch has something for him/her. Returning to Littleroot Town, the player is told that the recent events did change the climate in the Hoenn region, causing the Pokémon species that once left Hoenn to come back, and the regional Pokédex is not sufficient anymore, and gets the National Pokédex upgrade. The player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the Elite Four await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have proven themselves by collecting the eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and [[Drake]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and the pseudo-rival arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll as the player and the pseudo-rival return home. Back on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, the pseudo-rival becomes nostalgic and challenges the player one last time.

Returning home, the player overhears his/her parents discussing their plans to go see the [[Litleonids]] at [[Mossdeep City]], that [[Norman]] now has to cancel. As the parents ponder about what they can do with the tickets they bought, a mysterious symbol appears on screen, which then fades into a "To be continued" chyron.

Upon loading the saved game, the story continues with the [[Delta Episode]].

After completing the Delta Episode, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}} to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the [[Battle Resort]].

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
* Stereoscopic 3D is incorporated, and in the same manner as in X and Y.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.
* [[Time]] flowing from day to night as it was since being reintroduced within [[Generation IV]].
* The addition of Trainers with the {{tc|Backpacker}}, {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}}, {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}, {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}, and {{tc|Ace Duo}} Trainer classes.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and [[Mirage spot]]s found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===
====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat being more obvious, while May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs; Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been replaced by [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the long grass section in each area.
* A few new areas are added to {{ho|Victory Road}} that did not exist in Generation III. This also includes an area to where the player can face [[Wally]] instead of the main area of 1F where Wally was encountered in Generation III.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* [[Mirage spot]]s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty condition has been renamed to {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and Smart has been renamed to {{OBP|Clever|condition}}.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their [[Contest condition|condition stats]] maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after the Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]].
* Trainers that turn in place can now spot the player when they are turning if the player is directly north, south, east, or west of the Trainer.
*[[Mr. Briney]]'s boat is now capable of traveling between {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|109|Hoenn}} without having to stop at [[Dewford Town]] first. Additionally if the player travels through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to reach the other side, Mr. Briney would be found at that location allowing the player to use his boat without having to backtrack to the previous location.
**Because of the change on how the boat operates, {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} will not be counted as seen until the player returns there later after acquiring {{m|Surf}}.

=====Story=====
* Many characters' roles in the story are significantly elaborated upon, most notably Steven, Wallace, Team Aqua & Team Magma, and Wally.
** {{Steven}}'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Team Aqua & Team Magma's goals are slightly different: Team Aqua wishes to revert the Earth to its prehistoric state in order to restore the Pokémon habitats lost to human advancement, while Team Magma wishes to provide humanity with more habitable land as a means of accelerating human innovation.
** In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed, as revealed after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating [[Brawly]], as a line of NPCs will block the path.
* Relating to Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}:
** Team Magma/Aqua now steals the [[colored orb|Red/Blue Orb]] instead of the opposite one, to align with the new [[Primal Reversion]] mechanic and its place in the plot.
** [[Tabitha]] is now the Team Magma counterpart to Team Aqua's [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} is {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}'s counterpart, instead of the Admins of the same sex being counterparts.
** Instead of Team Magma/Aqua leaving [[Meteor Falls]] once they are found, Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}} or Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} and a Grunt instead challenge the player to a [[Multi Battle]] with {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}.
** The motivation behind Team Magma/Aqua's visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] is changed.
** During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader can escape.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a brief side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]].
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}} or Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The [[New Mauville]] sidequest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon or Kyogre event.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the [[Delta Episode]]. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role in this quest.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly in the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this, it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}} (though he does give the player {{TM|23|Smack Down}} for helping him at Meteor Falls). TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]].
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven to correct the situation, including a Multi Battle at the end.
*** Unlike the Multi Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} are Courtney and a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, instead of [[Maxie]] and Tabitha.
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The optional sidequest where the player accompanies the team leaders returning the orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the team leaders apologizing for their actions has been omitted. They instead apologize at [[Sootopolis City]] when they give the player the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be found outside their Gyms interacting with the world after the player has beaten the game.
* The battle against May or Brendan as the players' rival at [[Lilycove City]] is no longer optional.
* Brendan/May challenges the player to one final battle at {{rt|103|Hoenn}} immediately following the credits.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
** The Roselia of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Lydia from {{rt|117|Hoenn}} is now a Budew even before she is rematched.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* In Generation III the female administrators of Team Magma/Team Aqua, Courtney/Shelly were fought in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] before facing the team leader. This has been omitted in Generation VI, and as a result the player does not face against any administrators in this location.
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Trainers within the {{ho|Victory Road}} now have Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] on their teams instead of just using Pokémon native to Hoenn.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* [[Wally]]'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* Wally is given an exclusive battle theme, a rock remix of his leitmotif, rather than using the standard trainer battle theme.
* Archie's {{p|Sharpedo}}, Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}}, and Steven's {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild. The Pokémon in the {{safari|Hoenn}} have also changed significantly.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime or in the tiles adjacent to the lone rock in the river's southernmost curve (slightly north of the large field of long grass) during the nighttime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* {{p|Deoxys}} is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode, making this the first time where a [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]] has been legitimately available without the use of promotional events. It can also change its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallarbor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* {{Shiny}} variants of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys are now impossible to encounter in the wild; they can still be legitimately obtained if they are caught in Generations III or IV and transferred to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
* The [[catch rate]]s of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] are altered:
** The catch rates of Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, and Zekrom were reduced to 3.
** The catch rate of Rayquaza was raised from 3 to 45.
* {{p|Spiritomb}} may be encountered through a special method in [[Sea Mauville]].
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} in his lab upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first entering the Hall of Fame.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the player enters the Hall of Fame once more.
* Upon defeating or capturing {{p|Kyogre}}/{{p|Groudon}}, many Pokémon not available in [[Generation III]] become available as [[hidden Pokémon]].
* After defeating or capturing Kyogre/Groudon, the elderly woman in [[Lavaridge Town]] who the player could receive a {{p|Wynaut}} egg from now gives out a second Pokémon egg which contains a {{p|Togepi}}.

==Compatibility==
Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. They are mostly compatible with {{g|X and Y}}, with the exception of alternate forms, Mega Evolutions, moves, or Abilities introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which cannot be traded to or used in battle with X and Y.

==Beta elements==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire beta}}

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40, scoring two points fewer than X and Y and three points more than Ruby and Sapphire.

Within the first three days of release for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, over 3 million copies were sold in Japan, North America, and Australia.<ref>[http://myinforms.com/en-us/a/8093870-pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire-sell-3-million/ Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Sell 3 Million]</ref> Later when released in Europe, it came in at numbers 6 and 7 of the top ten video game sales chart for that week, also earning enough sales from both games into becoming the current candidate for the largest game launch of the Pokémon series in the region, beating out {{game|Black and White|s}}, which previously held this record.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-01-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-uks-biggest-pokemon-launch-ever Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire UK's biggest Pokémon launch ever]</ref> In the fiscal year of their release, they sold 9.94 million units.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2015/150507e.pdf Consolidated Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2014 and 2015]</ref>

IGN rated the games an "Good" 7.8/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/18/pokemon-alpha-sapphire-and-omega-ruby-review</ref>, 1.2 points fewer than Pokémon X and Y, criticizing the excessive amount of water and [[HM]]s. This reasoning was {{n|Gotta Meme 'em All: 7.8/10 Too Much Water|quickly mocked by fans}} due to these issues' presence in the original games apparently being overlooked. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hold a rating of 83.79%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792673-pokemon-omega-ruby/index.html</ref> and 82.73%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792672-pokemon-alpha-sapphire/index.html</ref>, respectively, on {{wp|Game Rankings}}.

==Trailers==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer}}
*A promotional trailer was made to promote Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The trailer was broadcasted in Japan on November 16, 2014, later being released on the Japanese ''Pokémon'' {{wp|YouTube}} Channel the same day, and on the English ''Pokémon'' YouTube Channel on November 20, 2014.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* These are the only pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** The games's names are not written as {{wp|Compound (linguistics)|compound words}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were introduced after the original games are possible. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}} cannot evolve because there is no [[time]] of day clock, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}} cannot evolve because none of those areas are in those games.
** Pokémon from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the original games}} can be transferred to the remakes.
** An accessory is not bundled with the games.
** The game does not include any HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games.
** No new protagonists are introduced.
** The Pokédex entries of certain Pokémon were changed entirely from the original games.
** Nearly all Pokémon recycle their [[Pokédex]] descriptions from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|previous]] [[Pokémon X and Y|entries]] instead of receiving new ones or, in the case of post-Generation III Pokémon, ones from a previous generation.
*** The games combined have only eight new Pokédex entries for four Pokémon ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}), the fewest out of any core series game. All other Pokémon use entries from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, X, or Y, with some entries receiving minor alterations.
** The in-game appearances of obtainable Pokémon are recycled from the generation's main pair of games.
** New held items and moves were introduced that were not in the generation's main pair of games.
** The TM list is slightly different than the generation's main pair of games. (While HeartGold and SoulSilver did alter the HM list as to make {{m|Whirlpool}} an HM again, its list of TMs was otherwise untouched from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.)
** Not all of the artwork for the Pokémon introduced in the games being remade was renewed.
* These Pokémon games currently offer the greatest number of unique in-game:
** [[Starter Pokémon]], with four (1 from Hoenn, 1 from [[Johto]], 1 from [[Sinnoh]], and 1 from [[Unova]]), exceeding the three offered in numerous games before. This excludes the [[Friend Safari]], where the player can potentially obtain all 6 [[Kanto]] and [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon.
** [[Legendary Pokémon]] with a total of 32 between both games.
* Alpha Sapphire has the longest name using fourteen characters including spaces.
* The combined and shortened name of these games ("ORAS") is Lithuanian for the word "weather", which is the main concept of [[Generation III]] games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire both feature the game's corresponding colored orb.
* This is the first pair of remakes where {{p|Eevee}} can evolve into all of its [[Eeveelutions]].

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VIIIIIII]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014 with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mostly the same as Ruby and Sapphire with a few changes.

The player starts their journey in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved in from the [[Johto]] region after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the moving van, which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the van, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets their [[Rival|pseudo-rival]] (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, he/she soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds their pseudo-rival on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some [[Poké Ball]]s. When leaving through the Route 101, the player runs into the pseudo-rival who gives him/her a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him/her how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, they meet with their father at the Gym, where he tells them that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman to help him catch a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the nine [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader.

At the [[Rustboro Gym]], the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the {{key|IV|Devon Goods}} back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. The player heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but the room where Steven is blocked by curious Hikers. They are gone by the time the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]]. The player finds Steven in the Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that he/she could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling the pseudo-rival, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. At the end of Route 114 is [[Meteor Falls]], inside which the player finds Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}. This time, they have stolen a valuable {{key|IV|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly, the scene is interrupted by the appearance of the opposite-version's team, which causes the thieves to retreat to [[Mt. Chimney]] with the stolen meteorite. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting over the meteorite; after fighting an admin of the primary evil team, [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, lets the player take and keep the meteorite, and retreats.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player is given the [[Go-Goggles]] by their pseudo-rival, who then suggests that the player challenge their father at the Petalburg Gym. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven realizes the legendary Pokémon is asking for help, and it takes both Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]] where the evil team admin [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} is terrorizing Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}. After fighting off the evil team, Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} decides to join the player's team and give him/her its Mega Stone. Steven awards the player with a Mega Bracelet and Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}} takes both of them back to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of more information on Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling the grunts, the player comes face to face with the admin [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who appears distressed with what he/she found out. After besting the admin, the player saves the institute and is given a Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, the pseudo-rival appears and battles the player, and they give away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]] but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the {{key|IV|Devon Scope}}, a Mega Stone and notices that the meteorite the player picked up from Mt Chimney emits light. The Devon Scope allows the player to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles his/her pseudo-rival again. After the battle, the pseudo-rival notices the meteorite shining in the player's bag, just like Steven did before.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}{{sup/6|AS}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him; the team then heads for Slateport City. The old couple that watch over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Once the player fights their way through to the center of the hideout, finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, they encounter an admin Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]], where he/she challenges Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. After this a pillar of light appears on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. Steven notices the player coming out of the Gym and invites him/her to his house, where he gives him/her the {{HM|07|Dive}} and the Devon Scuba Gear. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player has a showdown with the team leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After the battle, the player witnesses [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} arriving and trying to warn their leader against waking up the legendary Pokémon, but the leader dismisses the warnings and uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon breaks out of the cavern and starts moving towards [[Sootopolis City]], its power driving the weather all over Hoenn out of control. The leader realizes that he can't control the Pokémon's power at all; just then, the leader of the opposite team appears, and the two bosses team up to try to stop the rampage.

After the bosses leave, Steven appears and tells the player to catch up with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Sootopolis City]]. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]].

Upon arriving in front of the cave's entrance, Steven, Wallace and the player meet up with the leaders and admins of both teams, as well as the pseudo-rival. The player receives the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} and is told that the Orb he/she possesses has the power to weaken the ancient Pokémon. After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. He/she puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion. The player witnesses it undergo the transformation and fights it. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather (seemingly) returns to normal, and the world is saved. Steven gives the player the Eon Flute and leaves.

After defeating [[Wallace]] at the [[Sootopolis Gym]], the latter gives out the final badge, {{Badge|Rain}}, and mentions that Prof Birch has something for him/her. Returning to Littleroot Town, the player is told that the recent events did change the climate in the Hoenn region, causing the Pokémon species that once left Hoenn to come back, and the regional Pokédex is not sufficient anymore, and gets the National Pokédex upgrade. The player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the Elite Four await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have proven themselves by collecting the eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and [[Drake]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and the pseudo-rival arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll as the player and the pseudo-rival return home. Back on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, the pseudo-rival becomes nostalgic and challenges the player one last time.

Returning home, the player overhears his/her parents discussing their plans to go see the [[Litleonids]] at [[Mossdeep City]], that [[Norman]] now has to cancel. As the parents ponder about what they can do with the tickets they bought, a mysterious symbol appears on screen, which then fades into a "To be continued" chyron.

Upon loading the saved game, the story continues with the [[Delta Episode]].

After completing the Delta Episode, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}} to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the [[Battle Resort]].

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
* Stereoscopic 3D is incorporated, and in the same manner as in X and Y.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.
* [[Time]] flowing from day to night as it was since being reintroduced within [[Generation IV]].
* The addition of Trainers with the {{tc|Backpacker}}, {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}}, {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}, {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}, and {{tc|Ace Duo}} Trainer classes.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and [[Mirage spot]]s found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===
====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat being more obvious, while May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs; Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been replaced by [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the long grass section in each area.
* A few new areas are added to {{ho|Victory Road}} that did not exist in Generation III. This also includes an area to where the player can face [[Wally]] instead of the main area of 1F where Wally was encountered in Generation III.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* [[Mirage spot]]s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty condition has been renamed to {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and Smart has been renamed to {{OBP|Clever|condition}}.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their [[Contest condition|condition stats]] maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after the Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]].
* Trainers that turn in place can now spot the player when they are turning if the player is directly north, south, east, or west of the Trainer.
*[[Mr. Briney]]'s boat is now capable of traveling between {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|109|Hoenn}} without having to stop at [[Dewford Town]] first. Additionally if the player travels through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to reach the other side, Mr. Briney would be found at that location allowing the player to use his boat without having to backtrack to the previous location.
**Because of the change on how the boat operates, {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} will not be counted as seen until the player returns there later after acquiring {{m|Surf}}.

=====Story=====
* Many characters' roles in the story are significantly elaborated upon, most notably Steven, Wallace, Team Aqua & Team Magma, and Wally.
** {{Steven}}'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Team Aqua & Team Magma's goals are slightly different: Team Aqua wishes to revert the Earth to its prehistoric state in order to restore the Pokémon habitats lost to human advancement, while Team Magma wishes to provide humanity with more habitable land as a means of accelerating human innovation.
** In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed, as revealed after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating [[Brawly]], as a line of NPCs will block the path.
* Relating to Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}:
** Team Magma/Aqua now steals the [[colored orb|Red/Blue Orb]] instead of the opposite one, to align with the new [[Primal Reversion]] mechanic and its place in the plot.
** [[Tabitha]] is now the Team Magma counterpart to Team Aqua's [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} is {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}'s counterpart, instead of the Admins of the same sex being counterparts.
** Instead of Team Magma/Aqua leaving [[Meteor Falls]] once they are found, Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}} or Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} and a Grunt instead challenge the player to a [[Multi Battle]] with {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}.
** The motivation behind Team Magma/Aqua's visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] is changed.
** During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader can escape.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a brief side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]].
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}} or Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The [[New Mauville]] sidequest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon or Kyogre event.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the [[Delta Episode]]. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role in this quest.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly in the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this, it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}} (though he does give the player {{TM|23|Smack Down}} for helping him at Meteor Falls). TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]].
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven to correct the situation, including a Multi Battle at the end.
*** Unlike the Multi Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} are Courtney and a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, instead of [[Maxie]] and Tabitha.
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The optional sidequest where the player accompanies the team leaders returning the orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the team leaders apologizing for their actions has been omitted. They instead apologize at [[Sootopolis City]] when they give the player the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be found outside their Gyms interacting with the world after the player has beaten the game.
* The battle against May or Brendan as the players' rival at [[Lilycove City]] is no longer optional.
* Brendan/May challenges the player to one final battle at {{rt|103|Hoenn}} immediately following the credits.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
** The Roselia of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Lydia from {{rt|117|Hoenn}} is now a Budew even before she is rematched.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* In Generation III the female administrators of Team Magma/Team Aqua, Courtney/Shelly were fought in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] before facing the team leader. This has been omitted in Generation VI, and as a result the player does not face against any administrators in this location.
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Trainers within the {{ho|Victory Road}} now have Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] on their teams instead of just using Pokémon native to Hoenn.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* [[Wally]]'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* Wally is given an exclusive battle theme, a rock remix of his leitmotif, rather than using the standard trainer battle theme.
* Archie's {{p|Sharpedo}}, Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}}, and Steven's {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild. The Pokémon in the {{safari|Hoenn}} have also changed significantly.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime or in the tiles adjacent to the lone rock in the river's southernmost curve (slightly north of the large field of long grass) during the nighttime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* {{p|Deoxys}} is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode, making this the first time where a [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]] has been legitimately available without the use of promotional events. It can also change its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallarbor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* {{Shiny}} variants of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys are now impossible to encounter in the wild; they can still be legitimately obtained if they are caught in Generations III or IV and transferred to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
* The [[catch rate]]s of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] are altered:
** The catch rates of Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, and Zekrom were reduced to 3.
** The catch rate of Rayquaza was raised from 3 to 45.
* {{p|Spiritomb}} may be encountered through a special method in [[Sea Mauville]].
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} in his lab upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first entering the Hall of Fame.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the player enters the Hall of Fame once more.
* Upon defeating or capturing {{p|Kyogre}}/{{p|Groudon}}, many Pokémon not available in [[Generation III]] become available as [[hidden Pokémon]].
* After defeating or capturing Kyogre/Groudon, the elderly woman in [[Lavaridge Town]] who the player could receive a {{p|Wynaut}} egg from now gives out a second Pokémon egg which contains a {{p|Togepi}}.

==Compatibility==
Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. They are mostly compatible with {{g|X and Y}}, with the exception of alternate forms, Mega Evolutions, moves, or Abilities introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which cannot be traded to or used in battle with X and Y.

==Beta elements==

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40, scoring two points fewer than X and Y and three points more than Ruby and Sapphire.

Within the first three days of release for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, over 3 million copies were sold in Japan, North America, and Australia.<ref>[http://myinforms.com/en-us/a/8093870-pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire-sell-3-million/ Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Sell 3 Million]</ref> Later when released in Europe, it came in at numbers 6 and 7 of the top ten video game sales chart for that week, also earning enough sales from both games into becoming the current candidate for the largest game launch of the Pokémon series in the region, beating out {{game|Black and White|s}}, which previously held this record.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-01-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-uks-biggest-pokemon-launch-ever Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire UK's biggest Pokémon launch ever]</ref> In the fiscal year of their release, they sold 9.94 million units.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2015/150507e.pdf Consolidated Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2014 and 2015]</ref>

IGN rated the games an "Good" 7.8/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/18/pokemon-alpha-sapphire-and-omega-ruby-review</ref>, 1.2 points fewer than Pokémon X and Y, criticizing the excessive amount of water and [[HM]]s. This reasoning was {{n|Gotta Meme 'em All: 7.8/10 Too Much Water|quickly mocked by fans}} due to these issues' presence in the original games apparently being overlooked. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hold a rating of 83.79%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792673-pokemon-omega-ruby/index.html</ref> and 82.73%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792672-pokemon-alpha-sapphire/index.html</ref>, respectively, on {{wp|Game Rankings}}.

==Trailers==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer}}
*A promotional trailer was made to promote Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The trailer was broadcasted in Japan on November 16, 2014, later being released on the Japanese ''Pokémon'' {{wp|YouTube}} Channel the same day, and on the English ''Pokémon'' YouTube Channel on November 20, 2014.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* These are the only pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** The games's names are not written as {{wp|Compound (linguistics)|compound words}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were introduced after the original games are possible. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}} cannot evolve because there is no [[time]] of day clock, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}} cannot evolve because none of those areas are in those games.
** Pokémon from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the original games}} can be transferred to the remakes.
** An accessory is not bundled with the games.
** The game does not include any HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games.
** No new protagonists are introduced.
** The Pokédex entries of certain Pokémon were changed entirely from the original games.
** Nearly all Pokémon recycle their [[Pokédex]] descriptions from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|previous]] [[Pokémon X and Y|entries]] instead of receiving new ones or, in the case of post-Generation III Pokémon, ones from a previous generation.
*** The games combined have only eight new Pokédex entries for four Pokémon ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}), the fewest out of any core series game. All other Pokémon use entries from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, X, or Y, with some entries receiving minor alterations.
** The in-game appearances of obtainable Pokémon are recycled from the generation's main pair of games.
** New held items and moves were introduced that were not in the generation's main pair of games.
** The TM list is slightly different than the generation's main pair of games. (While HeartGold and SoulSilver did alter the HM list as to make {{m|Whirlpool}} an HM again, its list of TMs was otherwise untouched from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.)
** Not all of the artwork for the Pokémon introduced in the games being remade was renewed.
* These Pokémon games currently offer the greatest number of unique in-game:
** [[Starter Pokémon]], with four (1 from Hoenn, 1 from [[Johto]], 1 from [[Sinnoh]], and 1 from [[Unova]]), exceeding the three offered in numerous games before. This excludes the [[Friend Safari]], where the player can potentially obtain all 6 [[Kanto]] and [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon.
** [[Legendary Pokémon]] with a total of 32 between both games.
* Alpha Sapphire has the longest name using fourteen characters including spaces.
* The combined and shortened name of these games ("ORAS") is Lithuanian for the word "weather", which is the main concept of [[Generation III]] games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire both feature the game's corresponding colored orb.
* This is the first pair of remakes where {{p|Eevee}} can evolve into all of its [[Eeveelutions]].

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VIIIIIII]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014 with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mostly the same as Ruby and Sapphire with a few changes.

The player starts their journey in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved in from the [[Johto]] region after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the moving van, which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the van, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets their [[Rival|pseudo-rival]] (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, he/she soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds their pseudo-rival on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some [[Poké Ball]]s. When leaving through the Route 101, the player runs into the pseudo-rival who gives him/her a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him/her how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, they meet with their father at the Gym, where he tells them that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman to help him catch a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the nine [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader.

At the [[Rustboro Gym]], the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the {{key|IV|Devon Goods}} back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. The player heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but the room where Steven is blocked by curious Hikers. They are gone by the time the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]]. The player finds Steven in the Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that he/she could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling the pseudo-rival, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. At the end of Route 114 is [[Meteor Falls]], inside which the player finds Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}. This time, they have stolen a valuable {{key|IV|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly, the scene is interrupted by the appearance of the opposite-version's team, which causes the thieves to retreat to [[Mt. Chimney]] with the stolen meteorite. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting over the meteorite; after fighting an admin of the primary evil team, [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, lets the player take and keep the meteorite, and retreats.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player is given the [[Go-Goggles]] by their pseudo-rival, who then suggests that the player challenge their father at the Petalburg Gym. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven realizes the legendary Pokémon is asking for help, and it takes both Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]] where the evil team admin [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} is terrorizing Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}. After fighting off the evil team, Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} decides to join the player's team and give him/her its Mega Stone. Steven awards the player with a Mega Bracelet and Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}} takes both of them back to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of more information on Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling the grunts, the player comes face to face with the admin [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who appears distressed with what he/she found out. After besting the admin, the player saves the institute and is given a Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, the pseudo-rival appears and battles the player, and they give away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]] but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the {{key|IV|Devon Scope}}, a Mega Stone and notices that the meteorite the player picked up from Mt Chimney emits light. The Devon Scope allows the player to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles his/her pseudo-rival again. After the battle, the pseudo-rival notices the meteorite shining in the player's bag, just like Steven did before.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}{{sup/6|AS}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him; the team then heads for Slateport City. The old couple that watch over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Once the player fights their way through to the center of the hideout, finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, they encounter an admin Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]], where he/she challenges Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. After this a pillar of light appears on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. Steven notices the player coming out of the Gym and invites him/her to his house, where he gives him/her the {{HM|07|Dive}} and the Devon Scuba Gear. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player has a showdown with the team leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After the battle, the player witnesses [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} arriving and trying to warn their leader against waking up the legendary Pokémon, but the leader dismisses the warnings and uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon breaks out of the cavern and starts moving towards [[Sootopolis City]], its power driving the weather all over Hoenn out of control. The leader realizes that he can't control the Pokémon's power at all; just then, the leader of the opposite team appears, and the two bosses team up to try to stop the rampage.

After the bosses leave, Steven appears and tells the player to catch up with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Sootopolis City]]. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]].

Upon arriving in front of the cave's entrance, Steven, Wallace and the player meet up with the leaders and admins of both teams, as well as the pseudo-rival. The player receives the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} and is told that the Orb he/she possesses has the power to weaken the ancient Pokémon. After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. He/she puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion. The player witnesses it undergo the transformation and fights it. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather (seemingly) returns to normal, and the world is saved. Steven gives the player the Eon Flute and leaves.

After defeating [[Wallace]] at the [[Sootopolis Gym]], the latter gives out the final badge, {{Badge|Rain}}, and mentions that Prof Birch has something for him/her. Returning to Littleroot Town, the player is told that the recent events did change the climate in the Hoenn region, causing the Pokémon species that once left Hoenn to come back, and the regional Pokédex is not sufficient anymore, and gets the National Pokédex upgrade. The player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the Elite Four await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have proven themselves by collecting the eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and [[Drake]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and the pseudo-rival arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll as the player and the pseudo-rival return home. Back on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, the pseudo-rival becomes nostalgic and challenges the player one last time.

Returning home, the player overhears his/her parents discussing their plans to go see the [[Litleonids]] at [[Mossdeep City]], that [[Norman]] now has to cancel. As the parents ponder about what they can do with the tickets they bought, a mysterious symbol appears on screen, which then fades into a "To be continued" chyron.

Upon loading the saved game, the story continues with the [[Delta Episode]].

After completing the Delta Episode, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}} to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the [[Battle Resort]].

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
* Stereoscopic 3D is incorporated, and in the same manner as in X and Y.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.
* [[Time]] flowing from day to night as it was since being reintroduced within [[Generation IV]].
* The addition of Trainers with the {{tc|Backpacker}}, {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}}, {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}, {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}, and {{tc|Ace Duo}} Trainer classes.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and [[Mirage spot]]s found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===
====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat being more obvious, while May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs; Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been replaced by [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the long grass section in each area.
* A few new areas are added to {{ho|Victory Road}} that did not exist in Generation III. This also includes an area to where the player can face [[Wally]] instead of the main area of 1F where Wally was encountered in Generation III.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* [[Mirage spot]]s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty condition has been renamed to {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and Smart has been renamed to {{OBP|Clever|condition}}.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their [[Contest condition|condition stats]] maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after the Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]].
* Trainers that turn in place can now spot the player when they are turning if the player is directly north, south, east, or west of the Trainer.
*[[Mr. Briney]]'s boat is now capable of traveling between {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|109|Hoenn}} without having to stop at [[Dewford Town]] first. Additionally if the player travels through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to reach the other side, Mr. Briney would be found at that location allowing the player to use his boat without having to backtrack to the previous location.
**Because of the change on how the boat operates, {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} will not be counted as seen until the player returns there later after acquiring {{m|Surf}}.

=====Story=====
* Many characters' roles in the story are significantly elaborated upon, most notably Steven, Wallace, Team Aqua & Team Magma, and Wally.
** {{Steven}}'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Team Aqua & Team Magma's goals are slightly different: Team Aqua wishes to revert the Earth to its prehistoric state in order to restore the Pokémon habitats lost to human advancement, while Team Magma wishes to provide humanity with more habitable land as a means of accelerating human innovation.
** In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed, as revealed after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating [[Brawly]], as a line of NPCs will block the path.
* Relating to Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}:
** Team Magma/Aqua now steals the [[colored orb|Red/Blue Orb]] instead of the opposite one, to align with the new [[Primal Reversion]] mechanic and its place in the plot.
** [[Tabitha]] is now the Team Magma counterpart to Team Aqua's [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} is {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}'s counterpart, instead of the Admins of the same sex being counterparts.
** Instead of Team Magma/Aqua leaving [[Meteor Falls]] once they are found, Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}} or Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} and a Grunt instead challenge the player to a [[Multi Battle]] with {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}.
** The motivation behind Team Magma/Aqua's visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] is changed.
** During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader can escape.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a brief side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]].
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}} or Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The [[New Mauville]] sidequest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon or Kyogre event.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the [[Delta Episode]]. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role in this quest.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly in the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this, it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}} (though he does give the player {{TM|23|Smack Down}} for helping him at Meteor Falls). TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]].
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven to correct the situation, including a Multi Battle at the end.
*** Unlike the Multi Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} are Courtney and a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, instead of [[Maxie]] and Tabitha.
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The optional sidequest where the player accompanies the team leaders returning the orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the team leaders apologizing for their actions has been omitted. They instead apologize at [[Sootopolis City]] when they give the player the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be found outside their Gyms interacting with the world after the player has beaten the game.
* The battle against May or Brendan as the players' rival at [[Lilycove City]] is no longer optional.
* Brendan/May challenges the player to one final battle at {{rt|103|Hoenn}} immediately following the credits.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
** The Roselia of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Lydia from {{rt|117|Hoenn}} is now a Budew even before she is rematched.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* In Generation III the female administrators of Team Magma/Team Aqua, Courtney/Shelly were fought in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] before facing the team leader. This has been omitted in Generation VI, and as a result the player does not face against any administrators in this location.
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Trainers within the {{ho|Victory Road}} now have Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] on their teams instead of just using Pokémon native to Hoenn.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* [[Wally]]'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* Wally is given an exclusive battle theme, a rock remix of his leitmotif, rather than using the standard trainer battle theme.
* Archie's {{p|Sharpedo}}, Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}}, and Steven's {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild. The Pokémon in the {{safari|Hoenn}} have also changed significantly.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime or in the tiles adjacent to the lone rock in the river's southernmost curve (slightly north of the large field of long grass) during the nighttime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* {{p|Deoxys}} is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode, making this the first time where a [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]] has been legitimately available without the use of promotional events. It can also change its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallarbor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* {{Shiny}} variants of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys are now impossible to encounter in the wild; they can still be legitimately obtained if they are caught in Generations III or IV and transferred to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
* The [[catch rate]]s of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] are altered:
** The catch rates of Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, and Zekrom were reduced to 3.
** The catch rate of Rayquaza was raised from 3 to 45.
* {{p|Spiritomb}} may be encountered through a special method in [[Sea Mauville]].
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} in his lab upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first entering the Hall of Fame.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the player enters the Hall of Fame once more.
* Upon defeating or capturing {{p|Kyogre}}/{{p|Groudon}}, many Pokémon not available in [[Generation III]] become available as [[hidden Pokémon]].
* After defeating or capturing Kyogre/Groudon, the elderly woman in [[Lavaridge Town]] who the player could receive a {{p|Wynaut}} egg from now gives out a second Pokémon egg which contains a {{p|Togepi}}.

==Compatibility==
Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. They are mostly compatible with {{g|X and Y}}, with the exception of alternate forms, Mega Evolutions, moves, or Abilities introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which cannot be traded to or used in battle with X and Y.

==Beta elements==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire beta}}

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40, scoring two points fewer than X and Y and three points more than Ruby and Sapphire.

Within the first three days of release for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, over 3 million copies were sold in Japan, North America, and Australia.<ref>[http://myinforms.com/en-us/a/8093870-pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire-sell-3-million/ Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Sell 3 Million]</ref> Later when released in Europe, it came in at numbers 6 and 7 of the top ten video game sales chart for that week, also earning enough sales from both games into becoming the current candidate for the largest game launch of the Pokémon series in the region, beating out {{game|Black and White|s}}, which previously held this record.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-01-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-uks-biggest-pokemon-launch-ever Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire UK's biggest Pokémon launch ever]</ref> In the fiscal year of their release, they sold 9.94 million units.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2015/150507e.pdf Consolidated Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2014 and 2015]</ref>

IGN rated the games an "Good" 7.8/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/18/pokemon-alpha-sapphire-and-omega-ruby-review</ref>, 1.2 points fewer than Pokémon X and Y, criticizing the excessive amount of water and [[HM]]s. This reasoning was {{n|Gotta Meme 'em All: 7.8/10 Too Much Water|quickly mocked by fans}} due to these issues' presence in the original games apparently being overlooked. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hold a rating of 83.79%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792673-pokemon-omega-ruby/index.html</ref> and 82.73%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792672-pokemon-alpha-sapphire/index.html</ref>, respectively, on {{wp|Game Rankings}}.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* These are the only pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** The games's names are not written as {{wp|Compound (linguistics)|compound words}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were introduced after the original games are possible. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}} cannot evolve because there is no [[time]] of day clock, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}} cannot evolve because none of those areas are in those games.
** Pokémon from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the original games}} can be transferred to the remakes.
** An accessory is not bundled with the games.
** The game does not include any HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games.
** No new protagonists are introduced.
** The Pokédex entries of certain Pokémon were changed entirely from the original games.
** Nearly all Pokémon recycle their [[Pokédex]] descriptions from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|previous]] [[Pokémon X and Y|entries]] instead of receiving new ones or, in the case of post-Generation III Pokémon, ones from a previous generation.
*** The games combined have only eight new Pokédex entries for four Pokémon ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}), the fewest out of any core series game. All other Pokémon use entries from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, X, or Y, with some entries receiving minor alterations.
** The in-game appearances of obtainable Pokémon are recycled from the generation's main pair of games.
** New held items and moves were introduced that were not in the generation's main pair of games.
** The TM list is slightly different than the generation's main pair of games. (While HeartGold and SoulSilver did alter the HM list as to make {{m|Whirlpool}} an HM again, its list of TMs was otherwise untouched from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.)
** Not all of the artwork for the Pokémon introduced in the games being remade was renewed.
* These Pokémon games currently offer the greatest number of unique in-game:
** [[Starter Pokémon]], with four (1 from Hoenn, 1 from [[Johto]], 1 from [[Sinnoh]], and 1 from [[Unova]]), exceeding the three offered in numerous games before. This excludes the [[Friend Safari]], where the player can potentially obtain all 6 [[Kanto]] and [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon.
** [[Legendary Pokémon]] with a total of 32 between both games.
* Alpha Sapphire has the longest name using fourteen characters including spaces.
* The combined and shortened name of these games ("ORAS") is Lithuanian for the word "weather", which is the main concept of [[Generation III]] games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire both feature the game's corresponding colored orb.
* This is the first pair of remakes where {{p|Eevee}} can evolve into all of its [[Eeveelutions]].

==Blurb==

Ash and friends are lost in a forest when they are attacked by a Skarmory that kidnaps May. It drops May on the other side of a tall fence, and several hooded men prevent Ash, Brock, and Max from pursuing.

The Skarmory drops May on the ground, where she saves a Bulbasaur from falling off a cliff. A group of Grass-type Pokémon angrily attack May, but she drives them back with Torchic's Ember attack.

The hooded men explain to the guys that the Grass-type Pokémon will attack any human that trespasses, because people damaged the forest trying to catch Grass-type Pokémon. The guys decide saving May is more important, and Ash manages to get over the fence.

A group of Grass-types corner May, and Ash swoops in and has Pikachu clear a path. The two kids run for it, but get cornered again. A Venusaur arrives and orders the other Pokémon to back off, accompanied by the Bulbasaur that May helped.

May begins to befriend the Bulbasaur, but Team Rocket arrives, trying to catch Grass-types with their robot. May gets caught inside the robot as well, and helps all the Pokémon break free. The Venusaur uses Solarbeam to blast the robot away.

Reunited in the end, the kids get ready to depart the forest, with one new addition—the Bulbasaur decides to join May on her journey.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} find themselves lost on the road to [[Fortree City]] when they wander into an unmapped area of [[Hoenn]]. To make matters worse neither {{an|Brock}}'s compass nor [[Max]]'s [[PokéNav]] seem to function correctly. Suddenly a wild {{p|Skarmory}} comes swooping down. Ash and his friends run away, but {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Skitty}} pops out of its [[Poké Ball]] and appears right in the Skarmory's path! May grabs Skitty, but before she can get away the Skarmory latches onto her [[bag|waistpack]] and flies away with her! Ash, Brock, and Max follow it as best they can, but run into a large wooden wall, guarded by two cloaked men. The men tell them that beyond lies the [[Forbidden Forest]], an area where humans aren't allowed. After hearing about their situation, the men lead Ash and his friends to their village. There they meet the village leader [[Old Man Obee]]. Obee listens to their story, and calls a town meeting, where he discusses whether or not they should let Ash and his friends go into the forest to rescue May. While they're distracted, Ash takes the opportunity to sneak into the forest, leaving Brock and Max behind.

Meanwhile, the Skarmory drops May on top of a mountain. While looking for a way down, she notices a wild {{p|Bulbasaur}} on the edge of a cliff trying to pick some flowers with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Suddenly the Bulbasaur loses its footing, but May is able to grab it before it falls off the edge of the cliff. Surprised to see a human, the Bulbasaur is cautious at first, but after May reassures it that she means no harm, it quickly warms up to her. However, before she can get too close to Bulbasaur, several wild {{t|Grass}}-Pokémon appear and start attacking her. Realizing she's in danger, May calls out {{TP|May|Torchic}} who clears an escape route with {{m|Ember}}. She runs down the mountain and into the forest, dodging attacks from wild {{t|Grass}}-Pokémon left and right. However she soon finds herself cornered against a tree. Just when it looks like all hope is lost, Ash appears with {{AP|Pikachu}} and opens a path with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The two continue to flee, the Grass-type Pokémon still chasing them.

Back in the village, Old Man Obee tells Brock and Max that the Forbidden Forest is a sanctuary for Grass Pokémon. So many Trainers used to come to the area to capture the Pokémon there that the Pokémon eventually become hostile towards humans. Wanting to protect the Pokémon, the villagers built a giant wall around the Forest, and set up guards to keep anybody from getting inside. Obee explains that the area has strange magnetic properties, which is why Max's PokéNav and Brock's compass weren't working. He then tells them that the villagers have reached a consensus, and have agreed to help Brock and Max find their lost friends. Opening up the gates, he begins to track May and Ash using several {{p|Poochyena}}. They enter the forest, unaware that {{TRT}} was eavesdropping on the conversation. They decide that they'll sneak into the forest as well, and steal all of the Grass-type Pokémon there for {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}.

Deep in the forest, Ash and May find themselves trapped on the edge of a cliff. However, the Pokémon chasing them suddenly stop, when a large {{p|Venusaur}} appears, with the Bulbasaur May helped earlier next to it. The Venusaur commands the other Pokémon to stop their attack, and beckons Ash and May to follow it into the forest. Hidden nearby, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] listen as {{MTR}} translates for Venusaur. Apparently, the Bulbasaur May saved was the Venusaur's child, and by saving it May proved that she wasn't a dangerous human. Jessie realizes that the Venusaur must be the leader of all the Grass-type Pokémon, and decides that catching it should be their primary mission.

Ash and May follow Venusaur to the center of the forest, where they find a beautiful spring. Bulbasaur appears, and gives May some of the flowers it picked earlier. It grabs hold of May with Vine Whip, and leads her and Ash around the forest. Soon they arrive on top of a cliff, where May notices a city in the distance. Realizing that Bulbasaur has never been outside of the forest, May begins to tell it about all of the things that she's seen on her journey. Ash, May, and Bulbasaur play together for awhile, until Ash realizes that Brock and Max must be worried about them. As the two prepare to head out of the forest, several Grass-type Pokémon come running past them in fear. Looking around, they spy Team Rocket, using a large robot to scoop up and capture the [[wild Pokémon]]!

Ash orders Pikachu to attack the robot, but its attack is deflected by it. Venusaur soon arrives, and begins to battle as well. However Team Rocket's robot is too strong even for it. Knocking Venusaur away, the robot grabs Bulbasaur and May, and tosses them into a large sack on its back. However before they can get away, Old Man Obee, Brock, and Max appear with several villagers. Using Poochyena's {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Old Man Obee is able to stun the robot. Finally, Venusaur's {{m|SolarBeam}} causes the robot to explode, and sends Team Rocket "blasting off again".

With Ash's and his friends reunited, they all prepare to leave the forest. May bids a tearful farewell to Bulbasaur, however at the last moment Bulbasaur decides to leave the forest and go with her. Waving goodbye to its friends in the forest, {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} is welcomed by Ash and his friends as the newest member of their group.

==Blurb==

The kids arrive in a city where May lets her Bulbasaur to enjoy the scenery. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is at the Pokémon Center (PC) making "repairs" to the transporter machine.

Upon arrival at the PC, Ash calls Professor Oak. They decide that Ash's and May's Bulbasaur should meet, so Oak transports Ash's over. Unfortunately Team Rocket has rerouted the machine so they get all the full Poké Balls, and only empty Poké Balls arrive at the PC.

The kids confront Team Rocket outside the PC. James has attached a new engine to their balloon which malfunctions, so the thieves go blasting off. They drop one Poké Ball—Ash's Bulbasaur.

Team Rocket gathers up everything from the crash site and runs, but a hole in James' bag leaves a trail of Poké Balls along the way. The two Bulbasaur quickly pick up the trail to a cabin where the thieves are hiding.

Team Rocket seals up the cabin and begins fending off Ash and friends, using the Poké Balls as projectiles. The two Bulbasaur try to sneak the rest of the Poké Balls out through a window with their vines.

Pikachu breaks down the wall with Iron Tail, and the Bulbasaur team up to battle Team Rocket. Pikachu sends the thieves blasting off.

Back at the PC, Ash talks to Professor Oak again, who begs Ash to send Bulbasaur back. Everyone says goodbye, and the little Grass-type is sent home.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at a town. {{an|May}} decides to bring out {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in order to check out the sights. Bulbasaur suddenly runs to a nearby store rack and wants to eat the displayed fruit, but May explains the concept of buying items. When [[Max]] calls to May, Bulbasaur slips away and climbs into the bed of a pickup truck full of flowers, smelling them. May runs to the truck, but the vehicle pulls away. They pursue the truck, and Ash and {{an|Brock}} speed up, getting the driver's attention and making him stop the truck, allowing May to get Bulbasaur.

At the [[Pokémon Center]], {{TRT}} is in disguise and working on the Pokémon Transporter. Unbeknownst to [[Nurse Joy]], they are really altering it in order to steal the imported {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Ash and friends arrive as Team Rocket finishes and leaves. Ash calls {{an|Professor Oak}} and Max mentions May's Bulbasaur. She brings Bulbasaur to the screen and earns the professor's approval. Ash asks about his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and the professor brings it to the screen. May's Bulbasaur already shows friendliness to Ash's. He asks the professor to send his Bulbasaur through the transporter in order to meet May's Bulbasaur.

Professor Oak agrees and puts Bulbasaur into its [[Poké Ball]] before transporting it. The transport appears to be successful and Ash picks up the Poké Ball, but it won’t open. Other children also point out the same problem, as their Poké Balls are empty. Max immediately suspects that the repair guys were fakes. Nurse Joy does not believe so until the real repair guys arrive.

Team Rocket is outside the building snatching the Poké Balls as Nurse Joy leads Ash and friends to the back, encountering Team Rocket. They quickly escape in their balloon. Ash and May send out {{AP|Taillow}} and {{TP|May|Beautifly}} to stop them, but [[James]] fires rocket boosters to evade, even dodging {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, the engines fail, sending the balloon flying far away. A Poké Ball falls from the sky and May's Bulbasaur grabs it. The ball opens and releases the Pokémon inside, and it's Ash's Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur jumps into Ash's arms and May's Bulbasaur reaches out with a vine. Ash's Bulbasaur matches the vine in a high-five style as May brings her Bulbasaur closer. They decide to allow the Bulbasaur to team up to search while Taillow and Beautifly cover from the air.

Team Rocket begins to gather all the stolen Poké Balls into wrapped sacks. James's bag develops a hole and it drops Poké Balls, leaving a trail. Meanwhile, while Ash and the others are searching, May's Bulbasaur drifts to sniffing flowers. Ash's Bulbasaur explains to May's Bulbasaur and gets it back on track. Taillow and Beautifly find the Poké Ball trail. A wild {{p|Shroomish}} and {{p|Nuzleaf}} lead Ash and friends to the balloon's landing site, where they find one of the Poké Balls. Taillow brings another Poké Ball and leads them to the ball trail.

Team Rocket gets to their cabin and {{MTR}} notices that James's bag had a hole and he dropped the Poké Balls. They find Ash and friends outside, but they retreat back inside and James activates a switch, raising steel walls around the perimeter and rendering it impregnable. However, Ash notices an open window, allowing May and the others to go onto the roof and retrieve the stolen property. Meowth throws Poké Balls and James uses the skis as a makeshift baseball bat to send them outside, using the Pokémon inside, a {{p|Golbat}} and a {{p|Primeape}}, to attack Ash. May orders the two Bulbasaur to send their vines inside and attempt to grab the sack of Poké Balls. James tries to tie the vines together, but the Bulbasaur smack James back with the vines. Brock recalls the attacking Primeape and Golbat while Pikachu attacks the wall with {{m|Iron Tail}}, forcing Team Rocket out. [[Jessie]] and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. Seviper's {{m|Poison Tail}} and Cacnea's {{m|Pin Missile}} put down May's Bulbasaur. Although May calls for a {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack, Cacnea's Pin Missile is too strong for May's Bulbasaur. Ash's Bulbasaur steps in and stops the attack with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Seviper and Cacnea attempt to attack with Poison Tail and {{m|Needle Arm}}, but both Bulbasaur use Vine Whip to push them back and seize the stolen Poké Balls. They try to attack again, but Pikachu stops them with Thunderbolt and sends them flying. The Bulbasaur give a Vine Whip high five. Ash and the others return the Poké Balls. Professor Oak calls back and asks for Ash's Bulbasaur to return and stop the {{t|water}} and {{t|grass}} Pokémon from fighting. Ash sends his Bulbasaur back to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] as May's Bulbasaur appears to have made a positive change. Ash and friends leave the Pokémon Center and hit the road.

===Errors===
* Since {{TRT}} finished corrupting the {{Ball|Poké}} transporter only when {{Ash}} and others entered the Pokémon Center, not many people could have used it before Ash, if he was not the first. Obviously, Team Rocket could not have stolen three large bags of Poké Balls.

*After {{an|Professor Oak}} returns {{p|Bulbasaur}} to its {{Ball|Poké}}, he puts it on the transporter upside down but in the next shot it is right side up.
* When {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} uses {{m|Poison Tail}} for the first time, the outlines around the purple markings are a light purple instead of black.
* {{p|Beautifly}} is pictured where {{p|Nuzleaf}}'s name appears in {{pkmn|Trainer's Choice}}.
** Additionally, {{p|Combusken}} would be the worst choice of the three, as it is part {{type|Fighting}}, weak to {{type|Psychic}}s. {{p|Beautifly}} would instead be the best choice, as it is part {{type|Flying}} which is effective against {{p|Meditite}}, a part {{type|Fighting}}.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VIIIIIII]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014 with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mostly the same as Ruby and Sapphire with a few changes.

The player starts their journey in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved in from the [[Johto]] region after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the moving van, which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the van, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets their [[Rival|pseudo-rival]] (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, he/she soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds their pseudo-rival on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some [[Poké Ball]]s. When leaving through the Route 101, the player runs into the pseudo-rival who gives him/her a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him/her how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, they meet with their father at the Gym, where he tells them that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman to help him catch a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the nine [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader.

At the [[Rustboro Gym]], the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the {{key|IV|Devon Goods}} back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. The player heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but the room where Steven is blocked by curious Hikers. They are gone by the time the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]]. The player finds Steven in the Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that he/she could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling the pseudo-rival, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. At the end of Route 114 is [[Meteor Falls]], inside which the player finds Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}. This time, they have stolen a valuable {{key|IV|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly, the scene is interrupted by the appearance of the opposite-version's team, which causes the thieves to retreat to [[Mt. Chimney]] with the stolen meteorite. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting over the meteorite; after fighting an admin of the primary evil team, [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, lets the player take and keep the meteorite, and retreats.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player is given the [[Go-Goggles]] by their pseudo-rival, who then suggests that the player challenge their father at the Petalburg Gym. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven realizes the legendary Pokémon is asking for help, and it takes both Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]] where the evil team admin [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} is terrorizing Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}. After fighting off the evil team, Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} decides to join the player's team and give him/her its Mega Stone. Steven awards the player with a Mega Bracelet and Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}} takes both of them back to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of more information on Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling the grunts, the player comes face to face with the admin [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who appears distressed with what he/she found out. After besting the admin, the player saves the institute and is given a Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, the pseudo-rival appears and battles the player, and they give away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]] but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the {{key|IV|Devon Scope}}, a Mega Stone and notices that the meteorite the player picked up from Mt Chimney emits light. The Devon Scope allows the player to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles his/her pseudo-rival again. After the battle, the pseudo-rival notices the meteorite shining in the player's bag, just like Steven did before.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}{{sup/6|AS}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him; the team then heads for Slateport City. The old couple that watch over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Once the player fights their way through to the center of the hideout, finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, they encounter an admin Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]], where he/she challenges Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. After this a pillar of light appears on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. Steven notices the player coming out of the Gym and invites him/her to his house, where he gives him/her the {{HM|07|Dive}} and the Devon Scuba Gear. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player has a showdown with the team leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After the battle, the player witnesses [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} arriving and trying to warn their leader against waking up the legendary Pokémon, but the leader dismisses the warnings and uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon breaks out of the cavern and starts moving towards [[Sootopolis City]], its power driving the weather all over Hoenn out of control. The leader realizes that he can't control the Pokémon's power at all; just then, the leader of the opposite team appears, and the two bosses team up to try to stop the rampage.

After the bosses leave, Steven appears and tells the player to catch up with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Sootopolis City]]. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]].

Upon arriving in front of the cave's entrance, Steven, Wallace and the player meet up with the leaders and admins of both teams, as well as the pseudo-rival. The player receives the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} and is told that the Orb he/she possesses has the power to weaken the ancient Pokémon. After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. He/she puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion. The player witnesses it undergo the transformation and fights it. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather (seemingly) returns to normal, and the world is saved. Steven gives the player the Eon Flute and leaves.

After defeating [[Wallace]] at the [[Sootopolis Gym]], the latter gives out the final badge, {{Badge|Rain}}, and mentions that Prof Birch has something for him/her. Returning to Littleroot Town, the player is told that the recent events did change the climate in the Hoenn region, causing the Pokémon species that once left Hoenn to come back, and the regional Pokédex is not sufficient anymore, and gets the National Pokédex upgrade. The player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the Elite Four await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have proven themselves by collecting the eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and [[Drake]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and the pseudo-rival arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll as the player and the pseudo-rival return home. Back on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, the pseudo-rival becomes nostalgic and challenges the player one last time.

Returning home, the player overhears his/her parents discussing their plans to go see the [[Litleonids]] at [[Mossdeep City]], that [[Norman]] now has to cancel. As the parents ponder about what they can do with the tickets they bought, a mysterious symbol appears on screen, which then fades into a "To be continued" chyron.

Upon loading the saved game, the story continues with the [[Delta Episode]].

After completing the Delta Episode, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}} to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the [[Battle Resort]].

The August edition of ''CoroCoro'' magazine introduced [[Cosplay Pikachu]]. This special Pikachu is given to the player to use in Pokémon Contests. This Pikachu gets a unique costume to wear during Contests; each costume comes with a specific, special move: Pikachu Rock Star gets {{m|Meteor Mash}} (Coolness Contest); Pikachu, Ph.D gets {{m|Electric Terrain}} (Cleverness Contest); Pikachu Pop Star gets {{m|Draining Kiss}} (Cuteness Contest); Pikachu Belle gets {{m|Icicle Crash}} (Beauty Contest); Pikachu Libre gets {{m|Flying Press}} (Toughness Contest).

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
* Stereoscopic 3D is incorporated, and in the same manner as in X and Y.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.
* [[Time]] flowing from day to night as it was since being reintroduced within [[Generation IV]].
* The addition of Trainers with the {{tc|Backpacker}}, {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}}, {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}, {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}, and {{tc|Ace Duo}} Trainer classes.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and [[Mirage spot]]s found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===
====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat being more obvious, while May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs; Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been replaced by [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the long grass section in each area.
* A few new areas are added to {{ho|Victory Road}} that did not exist in Generation III. This also includes an area to where the player can face [[Wally]] instead of the main area of 1F where Wally was encountered in Generation III.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* [[Mirage spot]]s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty condition has been renamed to {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and Smart has been renamed to {{OBP|Clever|condition}}.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their [[Contest condition|condition stats]] maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after the Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]].
* Trainers that turn in place can now spot the player when they are turning if the player is directly north, south, east, or west of the Trainer.
*[[Mr. Briney]]'s boat is now capable of traveling between {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|109|Hoenn}} without having to stop at [[Dewford Town]] first. Additionally if the player travels through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to reach the other side, Mr. Briney would be found at that location allowing the player to use his boat without having to backtrack to the previous location.
**Because of the change on how the boat operates, {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} will not be counted as seen until the player returns there later after acquiring {{m|Surf}}.

=====Story=====
* Many characters' roles in the story are significantly elaborated upon, most notably Steven, Wallace, Team Aqua & Team Magma, and Wally.
** {{Steven}}'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Team Aqua & Team Magma's goals are slightly different: Team Aqua wishes to revert the Earth to its prehistoric state in order to restore the Pokémon habitats lost to human advancement, while Team Magma wishes to provide humanity with more habitable land as a means of accelerating human innovation.
** In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed, as revealed after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating [[Brawly]], as a line of NPCs will block the path.
* Relating to Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}:
** Team Magma/Aqua now steals the [[colored orb|Red/Blue Orb]] instead of the opposite one, to align with the new [[Primal Reversion]] mechanic and its place in the plot.
** [[Tabitha]] is now the Team Magma counterpart to Team Aqua's [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} is {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}'s counterpart, instead of the Admins of the same sex being counterparts.
** Instead of Team Magma/Aqua leaving [[Meteor Falls]] once they are found, Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}} or Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} and a Grunt instead challenge the player to a [[Multi Battle]] with {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}.
** The motivation behind Team Magma/Aqua's visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] is changed.
** During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader can escape.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a brief side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]].
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}} or Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The [[New Mauville]] sidequest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon or Kyogre event.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the [[Delta Episode]]. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role in this quest.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly in the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this, it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}} (though he does give the player {{TM|23|Smack Down}} for helping him at Meteor Falls). TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]].
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven to correct the situation, including a Multi Battle at the end.
*** Unlike the Multi Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} are Courtney and a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, instead of [[Maxie]] and Tabitha.
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The optional sidequest where the player accompanies the team leaders returning the orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the team leaders apologizing for their actions has been omitted. They instead apologize at [[Sootopolis City]] when they give the player the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be found outside their Gyms interacting with the world after the player has beaten the game.
* The battle against May or Brendan as the players' rival at [[Lilycove City]] is no longer optional.
* Brendan/May challenges the player to one final battle at {{rt|103|Hoenn}} immediately following the credits.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
** The Roselia of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Lydia from {{rt|117|Hoenn}} is now a Budew even before she is rematched.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* In Generation III the female administrators of Team Magma/Team Aqua, Courtney/Shelly were fought in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] before facing the team leader. This has been omitted in Generation VI, and as a result the player does not face against any administrators in this location.
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Trainers within the {{ho|Victory Road}} now have Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] on their teams instead of just using Pokémon native to Hoenn.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* [[Wally]]'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* Wally is given an exclusive battle theme, a rock remix of his leitmotif, rather than using the standard trainer battle theme.
* Archie's {{p|Sharpedo}}, Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}}, and Steven's {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild. The Pokémon in the {{safari|Hoenn}} have also changed significantly.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime or in the tiles adjacent to the lone rock in the river's southernmost curve (slightly north of the large field of long grass) during the nighttime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* {{p|Deoxys}} is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode, making this the first time where a [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]] has been legitimately available without the use of promotional events. It can also change its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallarbor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* {{Shiny}} variants of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys are now impossible to encounter in the wild; they can still be legitimately obtained if they are caught in Generations III or IV and transferred to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
* The [[catch rate]]s of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] are altered:
** The catch rates of Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, and Zekrom were reduced to 3.
** The catch rate of Rayquaza was raised from 3 to 45.
* {{p|Spiritomb}} may be encountered through a special method in [[Sea Mauville]].
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} in his lab upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first entering the Hall of Fame.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the player enters the Hall of Fame once more.
* Upon defeating or capturing {{p|Kyogre}}/{{p|Groudon}}, many Pokémon not available in [[Generation III]] become available as [[hidden Pokémon]].
* After defeating or capturing Kyogre/Groudon, the elderly woman in [[Lavaridge Town]] who the player could receive a {{p|Wynaut}} egg from now gives out a second Pokémon egg which contains a {{p|Togepi}}.

Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40, scoring two points fewer than X and Y and three points more than Ruby and Sapphire.

Within the first three days of release for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, over 3 million copies were sold in Japan, North America, and Australia.<ref>[http://myinforms.com/en-us/a/8093870-pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire-sell-3-million/ Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Sell 3 Million]</ref> Later when released in Europe, it came in at numbers 6 and 7 of the top ten video game sales chart for that week, also earning enough sales from both games into becoming the current candidate for the largest game launch of the Pokémon series in the region, beating out {{game|Black and White|s}}, which previously held this record.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-01-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-uks-biggest-pokemon-launch-ever Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire UK's biggest Pokémon launch ever]</ref> In the fiscal year of their release, they sold 9.94 million units.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2015/150507e.pdf Consolidated Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2014 and 2015]</ref>

IGN rated the games an "Good" 7.8/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/18/pokemon-alpha-sapphire-and-omega-ruby-review</ref>, 1.2 points fewer than Pokémon X and Y, criticizing the excessive amount of water and [[HM]]s. This reasoning was {{n|Gotta Meme 'em All: 7.8/10 Too Much Water|quickly mocked by fans}} due to these issues' presence in the original games apparently being overlooked. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hold a rating of 83.79%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792673-pokemon-omega-ruby/index.html</ref> and 82.73%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792672-pokemon-alpha-sapphire/index.html</ref>, respectively, on {{wp|Game Rankings}}.

==Trailers==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer}}
*A promotional trailer was made to promote Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The trailer was broadcasted in Japan on November 16, 2014, later being released on the Japanese ''Pokémon'' {{wp|YouTube}} Channel the same day, and on the English ''Pokémon'' YouTube Channel on November 20, 2014.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* These are the only pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** The games's names are not written as {{wp|Compound (linguistics)|compound words}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were introduced after the original games are possible. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}} cannot evolve because there is no [[time]] of day clock, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}} cannot evolve because none of those areas are in those games.
** Pokémon from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the original games}} can be transferred to the remakes.
** An accessory is not bundled with the games.
** The game does not include any HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games.
** No new protagonists are introduced.
** The Pokédex entries of certain Pokémon were changed entirely from the original games.
** Nearly all Pokémon recycle their [[Pokédex]] descriptions from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|previous]] [[Pokémon X and Y|entries]] instead of receiving new ones or, in the case of post-Generation III Pokémon, ones from a previous generation.
*** The games combined have only eight new Pokédex entries for four Pokémon ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}), the fewest out of any core series game. All other Pokémon use entries from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, X, or Y, with some entries receiving minor alterations.
** The in-game appearances of obtainable Pokémon are recycled from the generation's main pair of games.
** New held items and moves were introduced that were not in the generation's main pair of games.
** The TM list is slightly different than the generation's main pair of games. (While HeartGold and SoulSilver did alter the HM list as to make {{m|Whirlpool}} an HM again, its list of TMs was otherwise untouched from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.)
** Not all of the artwork for the Pokémon introduced in the games being remade was renewed.
* These Pokémon games currently offer the greatest number of unique in-game:
** [[Starter Pokémon]], with four (1 from Hoenn, 1 from [[Johto]], 1 from [[Sinnoh]], and 1 from [[Unova]]), exceeding the three offered in numerous games before. This excludes the [[Friend Safari]], where the player can potentially obtain all 6 [[Kanto]] and [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon.
** [[Legendary Pokémon]] with a total of 32 between both games.
* Alpha Sapphire has the longest name using fourteen characters including spaces.
* The combined and shortened name of these games ("ORAS") is Lithuanian for the word "weather", which is the main concept of [[Generation III]] games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire both feature the game's corresponding colored orb.
* This is the first pair of remakes where {{p|Eevee}} can evolve into all of its [[Eeveelutions]].

== Archives user page redirect ==

Could you please tell me how I could redirect my Archives userpage to my Bulbapedia userpage? I tried it with the regular redirect page style, but it didn't work. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 06:53, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
:I did some testing with the preview button to make it match mine and it turns out that the curly braces need to be replaced with square brackets and replace | with :. Give it a try, I hope it works. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 19:49, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
::I gave it a whirl, and indeed it worked. Thanks a lot for your help! :) --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:50, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

== Friendly reminder ==

Hiya, just a friendly reminder from me and [[Template talk:HIBAPC characters|other users]] to be careful when dealing with untranslated Japanese. While it's definitely helpful to add missing information however you are able, be careful to avoid errors or misinformation. It can be more damaging to have [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Manga#General conventions|potentially wrong or mixed-up information]] than none at all. There are a lot of things I'd like to add myself, but have not yet due to my limited understanding of Japanese, so I'm holding off until I can be certain that the information is accurate and not missing any important details. Thanks for your continued recent contributions of scans tho :) as I mentioned, I've been wanting to get rid of those MPJ gifs since time and it's much appreciated. let me know if you have any questions \o/ [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 02:32, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
:Thanks for the reminder. I'm not sure if this is allowed but I got one of the names, Senpai, [http://jb2448.info/var/resizes/How_I_Became_a_Pokemon_Card/RAWs/Volume_4/PCNNW_V4_093.jpg here], and the other ones that turned out to be Japanese words according to Tiddlywinks from the pages related to the link. Feel free to remove the link if its not allowed. Ataro did the right thing when he contacted you even though the way it was worded signified that I continued after being told beforehand, but that wouldn't matter in this case. At least he mentioned it politely unlike another user who got told on twice due to the addition of rude remarks. I went ahead and removed the names in the HIBAPC characters template to avoid false information. Feel free to delete the pages and images. I have one question; for the moves, was it okay to add them if they were from a Japanese-only manga since I went on Bulbapedia to check what they were before adding them? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 03:27, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
::Moves are awesome cause when they appear in manga, they're named and spelled exactly the same as in the Japanese games when they're called out. This made it extremely easy for me to identify the moves in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}} as all I had to do was check the move's page to confirm the same spelling to know that, cool, Dawn really did command Piplup to use BubbleBeam or whatever. So moves are definitely legit to keep if they were checked out in that method.

::Regarding Senpai, what I get from that is that he might not have a name (or if he does, it's somewhere in all that Japanese on the page you've shown me) as ''senpai'' is an honorific used for an upperclassman (see {{tc|Sr. and Jr.}}'s Japanese name as an example) or, in the workplace, a worker who is more senior in the company than the worker who is addressing them as ''senpai'' in the first place. (using wiki staff as a boring example, {{u|Ataro}} would theoretically address me in Japanese as ''senpai'' as I am his senior on the Bulbapedia staff, likewise, I would address him as ''kōhai'' as he is my junior). My ''guess'' is that he doesn't have a name and is referred as ''senpai'' as he is the most senior of all the scientists/researchers that appeared in that chapter. Again, this is my estimate and shouldn't be published as official information by any means until someone with more knowledge of Japanese than either of us can read the chapter and confirm it :P I would suggest keeping the images for now as from the looks of it he does have a major impact on the plot and the images are definitely useful (the picture of the Old Amber could probably be added to the respective page...) we just need to come up with a decent conjectural title, or at least find some way to indicate that ''senpai'' isn't his real name. :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 03:58, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
:::If you'd like, we could move the senpai page to the userspace so we can work on it rather than go through the delete/restore hassle, then move it back to the mainspace once enough information is available. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 04:05, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

== Cats ==

Hello,

As you're reverting my cat fixes, I'd like to discuss it here. The reason for my edits is to fix the grammar; "James's" is completely incorrect. Yet, despite this, you said "That's how it's supposed to be." Unless this site has decided to not use proper grammar anymore, I'm pretty sure it belongs in a "James' Pokemon" category. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 17:26, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

== A little reminder ==

Whilst I know why you edited my talk page, but can you please give me at least five minutes? I was typing up my response when you made that edit. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:12, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
:I was going to apologize on your talk page but you beated me here. Still, my apologies for giving you the edit conflict. I thought I waited the right amount of time to put in the {{template|unsigned}} template, but it turned out I rushed. I have one request, there are five images of Team Plasma's Pokémon in the anime that have Plasma Grunt in their name, can you change them to Team Plasma? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 06:20, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
::Apology accepted. I'll also move the images to the requested file name.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:26, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

== Ahem. ==

OK, I'm going to ask this once. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Fire_%28Blazing_Exploration_Team%29&diff=2096407&oldid=1962121| This was translated into English?] When. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 04:39, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
:There was an English version on jb2448's site that had that in English. It didn't tell me when it was released in English, nor if the translations were unofficial or not. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 13:46, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
::Uh oh, just noticed on the {{wp|Pokémon universe}} page mentioned that it wasn't released in English so the translations on jb2448 turned out to be unofficial. Looks like we'll have to move them back to their Japanese name(s). [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 13:58, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

== {{template|inuse}} ==

If there is an inuse template on a page, do not edit. Your adding Noivern to the GoogleDex ruined another user's large edit by causing an edit conflict. Instead, wait until the notice is removed, so you won't ruin another user's large edit. Thank you. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 08:02, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
:Shoot, I didn't see the template until I added Noivern. That was a one-time thing I did anyway, but I'll be more careful in the future. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 15:04, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

== Daz/Dolan ==

While I initially also went ahead changing Daz into Dolan, Senior Admin G50 has now specifically told me we can't trust Pokémon.com as a source for dub names anymore. So do not change it elsewhere, I'll go ahead and change back everything. Thanks and happy editing! ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 01:51, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
:Thanks for the reminder. However, there has been several conflicts regarding the dub name situation that the site is reliable such as [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Morana this] and it isn't such as what happened with Natasha/Nanette so I believe someone should write it down as part of the anime policy before they continue and more users get thrown off. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 02:03, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

== Moving pages due to a character sharing a name with a Japanese character ==

If the English name of a character clashes with the Japanese name of a non-major character, that existing character page should not be moved. You moved [[Randy (anime)]] to [[Randy (Hoenn)]] because of a character in the XY anime with the Japanese name Randy. (While it was a while ago, I only just noticed it.) It just adds more unnecessary work to move all the pages back afterwards if the English name isn't the same as the Japanese name, so please don't do this in future. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:13, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

== Chapter article question ==

I've been recently adding kana/kanji to Manga articles, and I've noticed something that you seemed to do when creating alot of those articles that I don;t quite understand. Why is it that in the <code>title_en</code> parameter of the {{template|Chapterinfobox}} template, the single exclamation points in the titles are surrounded by nowiki tags? I can't see any real purpose... [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 21:26, 4/14/2014 (UTC)
:When I left the exclamation points w/o the nowiki tags, they caused the template to add an extra column. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 23:53, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

== Thank You ==

With [[PMRS35]], I had figured that one kana was a む, but I just wasn't sure. Also, I can't figure out what the second to last one on [[PMRS46]] is..... [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 18:16, 4/20/2014 (UTC)
:Not a problem for PMRS35. As for PMRS46, the て was the closest match for the second to last kana. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 21:33, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
:It was actually こ instead of て. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 21:35, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

==Hoenn anime edits==
Uh, why are you turning a bunch of Trainer Pokémon links into [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=AG138&diff=prev&oldid=2109485 redirects]? At least leave some explanation if you do. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 04:15, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

==Corsola Water Gun.png==
I saw that you added a picture of Corsola "using" {{m|Water Gun}} in XY022. But I think it is Brine, a move that Corsola can learn and they do look similiar. One can wonder that its Water Gun because Clauncher used the same move, but did we even heard Lauden command Clauncher to use Water Gun? I don't remember, can you check. If he didn't, that might as well be the move {{m|Brine}}.--[[User:Omojuzeforever|Omojuzeforever]] ([[User talk:Omojuzeforever|talk]]) 16:14, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
:I only added the pic, which I got from filb, because of the information that was given to me. I didn't add the information about Corsola using Water Gun itself. So, I may not be sure if it's either Water Gun or Brine. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 22:00, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

== Re: Sinnoh Gym ==

Sorry for the late reply. I do not have access to the DP chapters, so I'm not really sure. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 11:55, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
:Summary of the chapter: Ever since the Goldenrod Department store opens, the shops in the Underground is suffering a loss. The owners have no choice but to steal from the Goldenrod Department Store to sell in the underground, while wearing masks. the masks just happen to be the masks of red, Pikachu, clefairy and togepi. hence red and his pokemon are being accused of stealing from the department store instead. the feraligatr belongs to the underground store owners who battle red for knowing their secret. in the end, clefairy helps them to reconstruct the underground into a fancy shopping street, but there is only 1 fragile looking pillar to support the department store above. clefairy lean on the pillar and broke it, destroying both the department store and the underground. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 01:58, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

== Massive edits ==

Before making any gigantic edits, like the ones you made regarding {{m|Double-Edge}} and its level-up and breeding lists, you '''need''' to get the approval of a staff member. You've been here for almost four years, and should know this by now. You have been blocked for three days to allow you some time to relax, and come back to Bulbapedia with a clear head. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 20:29, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm just curious, since I'm not familiar with that rule (and as such I'm not going to undo it, because you could be right). Personally, it makes more sense to me to do <nowiki>[[Jessie's Arbok|Jessie's Ekans]]</nowiki> for example, because <nowiki>[[Jessie's Ekans]]</nowiki> links to a redirect (since the page is called Jessie's Arbok, not Jessie's Ekans). In any case, I've asked a higher-up admin about it, but they have yet to answer. I thought it were handy to ask you as well, since you might know an exact statement from someone who said it needs to be done like that. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 19:31, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
:You can find it [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Anime#Lists of Pokémon in episode articles|here]] and a whole bunch of move pages such as {{m|Flamethrower}} since they showed you about linking the Pokémon to the form they were at the time.

== Pocket Monsters XY ==

Conkeldurr is only missing in XY01. Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie first debuts in XY01. They are later shown in Red's party from PMXY10 onwards. No capturing of the starters is shown, so most likely he befriend them, but I am not sure if he does it in XY01 since I do not know Japanese. The author seems to treat the starters as main characters, as they are given their own section in the characters page. we might need to create page for them when we get more info. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 03:18, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

==M17 cast list==
It's directly from the CN airing's credit roll, which is ordered by appearance. Caitlin Glass is credited over everyone but Ikue Ohtani, because the first character to appear after Pikachu in the opening is Diancie, and we have confirmation that Brittney Hamilton is Millis. The rest of the list can be easily confirmed from that - the main characters appear below Diancie (which has never happened before in a movie credit roll) and Argus and Millis are grouped together because they debut in the same scene together. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] ([[User talk:The Great Butler|talk]]) 03:23, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
:Thanks for taking care of the voice actors for the movies. I was only able to find Diancie's and Millis's on my own via facebook, and some of the others were posted on sites where anybody can edit them.

Hey Pattyman, could you look over {{red link|User:ht14/PAORAS01|this page}} and see if there are any edits needed to be made? Also, it'd be great if we have an image up for this round. Thanks in advance! I'm deliberately making it red link so that if/when it gets moved or deleted, then this page doesn't need to be edited again. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 04:48, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
:Sure thing ht14. Everything seems to be good for your page. The prologue chapter might need moving if the numbering system for PAORAS is two digits instead of one. The Latis, I'm guessing they're the same ones from the Emerald chapter and Steven's Iron is from the HGSS games. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 05:08, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

== Nuzzle mistake in XY061 ==

Didn't they say in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' that {{m|Nuzzle}} always inflicts {{status|paralysis}} to the target? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 01:24, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
:If I remember correctly, Clemont mentioned that Nuzzle paralyzes the opponent. He didn't say anything about it always happening. The anime had a tendency of making up their own move effects than the ones in the games, the {{m|Hyper Beam}} variations for example as the user doesn't recharge sometimes. I was confused about this at first because of the inconsistencies that occurred. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 01:34, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
::Oh, ok. I guess that explains why Dedenne's Nuzzle cured {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}'s {{status|confusion}} when it should have paralyzed it in ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 02:43, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

== Page Creation ==

Hello! I've recently been auto-confirmed, and I was wondering if you'd advise me about creating pages. You see, I'd like to create a shipping page, but I'm not really sure how...? Oh, and uploading pictures too.-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 00:23, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
:To create pages, I would recommend focusing on the ones in the Wanted pages and put in content that you are familiar with. If the article isn't satisfied to your liking, you can place the incomplete tag on there. As for the shipping pages, {{u|ArcToraphim}} knows way more about them than me since I barely get involved with the shipping pages. Uploading images requires an account on the Bulbagarden Archives as it takes place there instead of on the Bulbapedia side. Hopefully, this helps.

== An ==

Yup, Abcboy actually posted on my talk page about that. Until then, I didn't even know it existed. I'm relinking all links to '''White Ruins''' (moved to {{an|White Ruins}} obviously) and was about to mass-link in long form, so I'm actually glad that was pointed that out so I don't create a mess. I know on Wikipedia it's often done in long form (hence how I tend to know how to do that) because they don't have such templates; maybe in the case of things like music albums and such, where (album) is appended, they should adopt that concept. =D [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:28, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
:I just saw Abcboy's post which happened a minute before my edit summary which was coincidental since both occurred nearly at the same time. I took care of the links in the Archives, feel free to check if I missed anything. Having to transition from one thing to another does takes practice.

::The order I listed is from 12 o'clock, which I'll do in each case (I did that with Legend Terrain's Pokémon at your Archives page, too, to indicate Gallade behind the sign). Ivysaur, at 9, is from Old-Growth Woods, Beheeyem is over at 3 from Super Gene Laboratorium. Between them on the bottom are Gorebyss (Secret Cove) and Ninetales (Secluded Volcanic Chasm). That leaves two on top, the left one being Golduck (from Waterfall Basin). The only area not represented is Super-Aura Test Lab, which is where Machoke resides as the 0 star boss (there are no stars on the location in that picture), which I've listed in the table from my research. I'll always list from 12 o'clock and clockwise on in the captions, as well, so I'll be identifying them in order each time.

Linking to [[Ash's Froakie]] redirects to [[Ash's Frogadier]]. I've seen similar links in other episode articles and narration. Why would we link to a redirect that goes to the same location anyway?

== Gender ==

Dr. Anna's Zubat Mimi was already confirmed for being a female in appearance by wearing a ribbon and in name. Brock's imagination had Mimi and his pre-evolved Zubat in a wedding dress (Mimi) and a (pre-evolved Zubat) tuxedo, which also represented Anna and himself. He even had Pikachu, who's gender wasn't exactly classified to most people until the DP era came, wear a bow tie to classify his gender, Togepi too.

Even without being said, I think it's pretty clear that Brock's Crobat is male.-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 22:44, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

::I guess so, but clothing aside it's stated in the Japanese dub of DP149 by Brock that genders of the same cannot be attracted (like in the games) to each other without unusual force, the episode and the move attract in general signify this greatly.

== Blasty ==

I believe that Blasty used Bubble in its debut. It shot bubbles at Red and the Pokédex later confirmed its known moves, with one of them being Bubble.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 04:51, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
:My bad. I returned the format. Plus I found out that Water Gun was one of the revealed moves so the order was switched. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 05:40, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

== Profile Edit ==

Thanks. That edit makes more sense. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 22:45, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
:No problem. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 22:55, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

== Please Update "Serena and Pancham" ==

Please Update "File:Serena and Pancham.png"

In [[XY071]], It's a scene with, Pancham hugged Serena. I think it is better than the current image. Thank you --[[User:Tomarzig|Tomarzig]] ([[User talk:Tomarzig|talk]]) 08:28, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
:Updated. The previous image was from its debut. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 19:38, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

== Nando's Kricketune's gender ==

I wish to ask why my edits regarding Nando's Kricketune's gender (female) were reverted. After all, the edits were done after close inspection of Kricketune's gender differences. Even Clemont's Luxray is declared male based on his gender differences, then why not Kricketune? [[User:Harryghost|Harryghost]] ([[User talk:Harryghost|talk]]) 18:19, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
:Clemont's Luxray was a Shinx first and the Shinx species have clear cut gender differences that the animators can't screw up upon which was why Luxray was confirmed male and all the other ones got confirmed too. Kricketune's gender is only determined by its mustache size and its difficult to pin point since the animators may make errors (making it too long in one scene and then short in another scene). If someone in the anime stated Kricketune's gender as female or a male Pokémon used a gender-based move or Ability on it, then Kricketune is a girl. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 19:43, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

== More complete image of the Unova starters ==

Mind if you replace the current image? The one I found is just as equal quality while not cutting off Samurott's legs:

:Done. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 18:06, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

== Question for you... ==

Hello Pattyman,

I was just wondering, why did you change the picture of Ash's Talonflame? In the original picture, Talonflame looks strong, vibrant, and in the new picture, he just looks goofy, if that makes any sense. I know in the description of the edit, you put that you didn't want any people in the background, but the picture of Ash's Greninja has people in the background, and if they are really tiny (like they were) and the main focus is obviously the subject (in this case, Talonflame), I guess what I am saying is that I just do not understand what the problem was with the old picture, and why the new one is better, so if you could help me to understand why, I would appreciate it. Thanks. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|ジェダイナイト]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|ディーティーブイ]] 06:41, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
:All of the pictures of Ash's Pokémon aren't supposed to have anyone else in the background unless it was the only good shot available for them. The Greninja one had people in the background because Frogadier just evolved last week whereas Fletchinder evolved into Talonflame back in August. Other users have stated in the past that they wanted images solo (i.e.: Serena's Braixen; not to mention a fiasco occured on that page because of said issue). [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 22:31, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

== Pokémon.com ==

I know that Pokémon.com isn't a valid source for dub names, but since even Playerking95 was doing it even though he had already been told about the Nini thing, and above the blurb, it was referring to the entire season on the image that Upratik 12 provided, when I came on this morning, I didn't know whether to keep changing all instances of "Puni-chan" to Squishy or to revert it back to "Puni-chan." - '''[[User:PokémonGamer|Pokémon]][[User talk:PokémonGamer|Gamer]]'''[[Special:Contribs/PokémonGamer|*]] 02:32, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
:I wasn't too sure either since it wasn't really my call for the wide spread edits which was why I told someone on what was going on first. I knew that the edits of Puni-chan to Squishy shouldn't have been made in the first place which was why I didn't bother changing them. Coincidentally, Nini's page had the same issue regarding the moving during the pre-dubbed episode with the redirect being tagged for deletion until a bureaucrat took care of it both times.

== Question ==

Hey Kogoro, sorry if this the wrong area but I see that this talk is more active than the one on Bulbagarden Archives. When I try to upload new scans for new TCG cards, it will not allow me to do so stating that I must be an autoconfirmed user or a confirmed user. Please help! Thanks, [[User:SirFinkleBottom|Sir]][[Special:Contributions/SirFinkleBottom|Finkle]][[User talk:SirFinkleBottom|Bottom]] 16:15, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:Confirmed is an Archives-exclusive usergroup that executive staff can apply to uploaders who have been approved to upload Generation VI game images, but don't meet the requirements for Autoconfirmed. Autoconfirmed, on the other hand, is applied automatically when an account has reached a specific number of edits & has existed for a specific number of days. If you want a file uploaded to the Archives and do not have the permissions to do so, you can make an upload request on an active [[a:Archives:Staff|Archives staff]] member's talk page. Keep in mind, that we will require access to the image(s) (and approval from the person who originally digitized the image(s)) to upload them for you. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

== 500 edits/day milestone! :D ==

Hey! I'm currently writing my 501th edit on the wiki today.

I've earned the [[Template:User_500_Day|template]], right? :3

My first edit was made on February 14 2016 17:58.

My last edit was made on February 15 2016 06:43.

Between these two edits, there was an elapsed time of 12:45.

<nowiki>:</nowiki>) [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 06:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:Unfortunately, no, you have not earned it. The edits must take place between 00:00 and 23:59 (UTC) in the same calendar day, which is noted right on the template page. As your edits take place between two calendar days, they are not eligible for the user tag. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::Are you serious? What's the difference? It was under 24 hours, which is a day. I don't understand why such detail should be important. I'll let you know that not everyone has the same time, my day is alway split in half with the wiki's time because of the timezone, having a full day on the wiki would mean to do all my edits starting at 2am, which, not everyone can. With all due respect, this is plainly injust. We shouldn't be judged on our timezone, that's close to discrimination. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 07:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:::UTC is our server time, and all of our time-based institutions are measured on server time. Allowing users to base time-based institutions on their own time zones has caused far too many problems and arguments in the past, so we simply do not allow such anymore. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:48, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::::I understand that, but tell me, what would have been different if I started editing 2 hours later? The outcome would have been the same, I would have contributed and been rewarded, so it would have been a win-win for everyone, but for now, I feel robbed of harsh hours of work throughout a whole day... You don't need the website to see wheter I did enough edits or not, do you? Just go on my contributions page, click show 500 and you'll see that it has been done in less than 24hours, it's not like it was a tight 23h and some minutes, I did it in under 13hours, that's worth being noticed, nah? Devoted contributors are rare, so you shouldn't be too picky if you want to keep them... :/ [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 08:01, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:::::There'd have been no difference, cause you still wouldn't have made it to 500 within a single calendar day if you had started editing two hours earlier. If your most important reason for editing this wiki is to get a fancy user tag, you may need to reconsider your reasons for being here. I'm going to quote something from a former staff member that really rings true:
::::::''"This is not a race or a competition, if you reach 500 edits a day that's good for you but it doesn't really mean anything, as quality is what's really needed here rather than some mere numbers. Editing a wiki is a thankless job, but we do it for the good of the community."''
:::::Please try to keep that in mind. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 08:13, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::::::I said later... Anyway, you are right, I never intended to do it for the achievement, I just happened to edit and realized I was at 350 ao I figured I would finish the job I was doing and get it at the same time, anyway... I'm just really dissapointed, that's all... [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 08:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

:::::::Here, I achieved to take what I've done starting from 0:00 and edit until I've reached about 530 edits today. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 21:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
::::::::I apologize, the use of "earlier" was a typo from being distracted. Anyway, I can confirm that you have qualified to use the user tag. Congrats. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:07, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

First of all, your message on the main page is so powerful, you really achieve to awaken the team spirit in me! :P

Second, can I take the pictures on here [http://toys.qee.jp/menu.htm] and upload them on [[Pokémon Kids|here]]?

:As for the site you've liked to, it appears to be a collector's personal page.

== 3 questions ==

Hello I have gathered three questions which I would be most thankfull if you could answer.

#Would it be possible to make it so that when editing and pressing 'Show preview' the Interwiki-links present can be displayed in the preview? Because this has annoyed me some times when edit a page and want to check if it links correcly before pressing save. And i know this can be done because that feature is present at Super Mario Wiki and Poképédia to name two.
#Is this [[User:Raltseye/List of Russian Pokémon names|list]] done or does it need all the names because all Pokémon have not been released as TCG cards? I only listed names from the official TCG.
#Since Pokéteca has more or less been removed from the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis partnership should they not be removed from the main page? Also should we not mention something about it on the [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]] page and delete [[Template:Pt|these]] [[Template:Es|two]] templates?
--[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 17:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
:#Depending on how they do it, it may be possible for us to do so as well. I'll have to look into it before giving a definitive answer as to whether we can or feel it's necessary, however.
:#It seems alright to me. However, since it is a TCG-based listing, I'll have a chat with Maverick Nate about it before we opt to mainspace it.
:#We'll try to handle the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis in the next few days, since developments like these are best handled by staff. I'll update the main page shortly, and deal with the templates later.

== Monthly edit ==

i have a little question, why do I only have ~600 edits on the leaderboards? If you take only my main edits, I have more than 1000 here : [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?limit=1000&tagfilter=&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=MannedTooth&namespace=0&tagfilter=&year=2016&month=-1]

:Creating redirects, minor edits, and reverted edits aren't counted (along with edits already mentioned in the TCM page). And honestly, who cares? You've made over 600 edits and got top spot in the TCM ladder, good for you? The number of edits you make don't, and never will, matter. It's the quality of those edits. So if your only concern is to make as many edits as you can to get top spot on a monthly ladder, then you need to look at your priorities.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:46, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

== Idea about fandom ==

Hi, my name is Danny Williams, shortly Danny199, and I got up with an idea, and wanted to ask if it has a possibility of working. Also, I don't know if I contacted the right person, so forgive me if I misplace this.

I recently became more active on the fandom front, mostly fanfiction and nuzlockes, and what catched my eye is how less atention some of these get, while they are pretty good. Even the wikia's made for Nuzlocke's and Fanfiction writing, aren't that populair, people come there to advertise, but no-one comes there to look for a story, mainly because it isn't known. Now here comes the thing: Bulbagarden, or Bulbapedia, is extremely well-known, every Pokémon fan has at least once checked this site. The thing I thought of is: Isn't it an idea to make a variant on Bulbapedia on the Bulbagarden network, and this one specificant for all fandom things, including nuzlockes, fanfictions, Pokémon Youtube channels, cause there are a lot unknown, everything. Bring it all together in one big site for all fans to find something. You could even go as far as putting links in Bulbapedia, like: Putting on, for example, Charormander's page a link with 'Charmander's appearences in Fanfictions' or, to be more general, 'Charmander's appearences in the Fandom'. It seemed to be like a real good idea, I hope it can work out. I would love to put some work in it, and make it active as fast as possible, but I can't start without permission from the founder.

As I said in the beginning, I don't know if I put this request in the right place, but again, you'll need to forgive me for it.

Greetings, Danny199 {{Unsigned|Danny199}}

:Bulbagarden already has a place where fan-created content can be posted, it's called [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php the Bulbagarden Forums]. As for your idea of putting links such as "_____'s appearances in fan fiction" or "_____'s appearances in the fandom", it's not going to happen. It's been suggested several times in the past, and there's simply not enough notable cases of such to be something that's reasonable. Keep in mind that the ''vast majority'' of fandom-created content just doesn't meet our notability guidelines, and we note the very few notable cases where it's appropriate to do so.

:Additionally, please understand that Bulbapedia ''isn't'' an advertisement source, nor should it be. We're not here to advertise people's self-created Pokémon stories, Nuzlocke runs, or anything like that. We're here to be a resource for significant Pokémon information. If people want their fan-creations to get noticed, it's up to them to figure out how to promote their stuff appropriately. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:50, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
::Then why is shipping allowed on this site with impunity if it is just a fan concept like fanfictions and Lockes? If that is the case, shouldn't shipping be relegated to the forums? And marriage/crushes don't make it anymore than a form of fan fiction. One is a legal, social and/or religious commitment, while the other is not canon until it is announced by both parties and a commitment to adhere to such is made by the characters and the writers. Also, people see too many little insignificant things as signs that people are attracted to each other. I think it is both pedantic and hypocritical for a fact-based, anti-fanproject wiki to tolerate, since most shipping pages are filled with rampant and gross un-Bulbapedia-like speculation, questionable implications, and are poorly policed and maintained by reputable users. I personally believe Shipping deserves 1 page covering what shipping is in a neutral tone with no speech for or against the subject matter in question and no quantitative or qualitative lists of "common/notable" ships, if any, and a subsequent ban on speculation about shipping of any sort, no matter how "canon" it may be reasoned to be(because they are relative to the eye of the observer, because shipping is a matter best left to fanforums and lesser sites. And no, I am not "offended" by shipping, I just don't find it appropriate for Bulbapedia. I strongly recommend a takedown of all things shipping, and a ban on references and coverage of such except on the Shipping page, as to make a statement about speculation. Or allowing all fandom things to be accounted for, to show acceptance of the fandom and its ways. Which stance you want to take is up to you, but I think it is a win-win. --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 05:46, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
:::Than what are the guidelines for fandom? There is alot of fanfiction, nuzlocke and fandom creations like that, if someone takes some time and looks through them all, I think you'll find enough that follow the guidlines. Also, it isn't really advertising, it is informing the visitor about the best fanfiction and the best nuzlocke runs, both for example, on the internet, so they can have a look themselves. It isn't ment to advertise, although it might have been a major point in the text I wrote earlier but that was a small mis-writing, but to have the visitors being informed, the same as Bulbapedia does with all the official information, can this wikia do with all the fandom information [[User:Danny199|Danny199]] ([[User talk:Danny199|talk]]) 08:44, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
::::@BlisseyandtheAquaJets: Shipping isn't going anywhere. While we do intend to do some significant work to the section, we're not going to remotely take your suggestion. Please try to not interject yourself into discussions that have nothing to do with you in the future. Thank you.
::::@Danny199: First off, "best" is ''always'' subjective when it comes to things like fan fiction, and subjective content like that does not belong on Bulbapedia. Secondly, the ''concept'' of the [[Nuzlocke Challenge]] is notable due to its major presence within the fandom, and that's why we already have an article about what Nuzlocke Challenges are. Individual people's challenges, however, are not notable and should not be listed. While it ''may'' be acceptable to have an article on the ''concept'' of fan fiction within the Pokémon fandom, we're not going to have articles or listings of individual fics. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 03:55, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

== Pokémon World in relation to the real world ==

== About the Template:DungeonPrevNext template ==

Hi, I was kinda wondering if you could make some adjustments to the [[Template:DungeonPrevNext|DungeonPrevNext]] template? You know how there is "DungeonPrevNext|Dungeon Name|Dungeon Name|1|Dungeon Name" made so that the colours from Explorers of Sky dungeons could mix in with the older dungeons from Explorers of Time/Darkness, right? I'd like to see the ability to do something like "DungeonPrevNext|Dungeon Name|Dungeon Name|1|Dungeon Name|1" so that it can be coloured in completely, say for instance if anyone wanted to navigate to Rock Path from Lapis Cave page. Whenever I try to use the template like this:

"DungeonPrevNext|Great Canyon|Mt. Blaze|Rock Path|Rock Path|1dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|2dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|1"

It just simply appears completely broken, and when I try it as this:

"DungeonPrevNext|Great Canyon|Mt. Blaze|1|Rock Path|Rock Path|3dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)|4dab=(Red and Blue Rescue Team)"

It shows up as everything red, except for "Rock Path" sections, which are coloured as green (Explorers of Sky colour).

Can you please fix this issue? I can't make any changes to it's code, since [[Template:DungeonPrevNext]] is protected indefinitely for unknown reasons.

Thanks!—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 14:47, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
:First of all, {{template|DungeonPrevNext}} is protected because it's a high-use template that the general public shouldn't be making modifications to. Secondly, I really can't see any reason to modify the template to work in the way you seem to want it to. It's fine to just use two or more calls of the template as you already have on the [[Lapis Cave]] article. The staff is trying to reduce excessive use of [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions|parser functions]], and such changes would only serve to increase them. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 03:55, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

:Juan is an extremely unique case, as he is the sole Hoenn Gym Leader to not get a fancy VS portrait due to not being in ORAS. The Hoenn Frontier Brains are all the same in not having portraits, and neither Lorelei or Agatha were in the Johto games, so we really don't need to use special images for the Gen III Brains or original Kanto Elites. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 03:55, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

== [[Special:AbuseFilter/3]] ==

Hello Kogoro, I don't know if you know about abuse filters, but can you explain to me why <nowiki> </nowiki> is considered as bad formatting, and why we have an abuse filter of it (I see that other wikis don't have this kind of abuse filter, only Bulbawikis)? Also, I think <nowiki> </nowiki> is not the only one that is non-wikitext formatting, there are others too (like <a>). Thanks, [[Cyndaquil|'''★''']][[User:Pokéfan95|'''Poké''']][[User talk:Pokéfan95|'''95''']] 01:59, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
:Multi-use of <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> tags is the most common non-wikitext formatting used on Bulbapedia, and is something we want to get away from doing. That is why there's an abuse filter for them, to note that such formatting happens to exist within the material being modified in any given edit. <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> tags, in general, should only be used when used in the clearing style on templates, as we have templates for mainspace use: {{template|-}}, {{template|clear-left}}, and {{template|clear-right}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:07, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

:First up: Wikipedia is not a valid source for any information. We should not be using content directly from Wikipedia on Bulbapedia articles or lists. Make sure they have valid sources for the information, and source it back to the source that's being used by Wikipedia.
:As for using names from the Russian Pokémon Handbook, that would be fine for species that have yet to receive a 100% official name from the Russian TCG.

== New move template ==

I saw that you were testing new templates for moves. I had this idea a while ago, but I thought I'd tell you about it. So, admitting that a move will always have the same effect/heart/type etc no matter the Pokemon who uses it, I thought we could make it so that in the template entry you only add the move name and that on the template side there would be this well-made conditionning system with pre-assigned variables. I don't know if I was clear enough, so if that interests you or if you need more info on this, hit me up!

==Blurb==

The kids have stopped at a lakeside camp site on their way to Fortree City. Ash trips and drops his badge case into the lake, where it is eaten up by a giant Whiscash. Ash dives in after the Pokémon but gets caught in some reeds instead.

Ash is pulled out of the water by a fisherman named Sullivan, who calls himself "Legend." He tells them that he has been trying to catch the giant Whiscash for years and its name is Nero. The kids decide to help "Legend" catch Nero.

"Legend" shows them how to fish, but all of them are unsuccessful. On the other side of the lake Team Rocket is also fishing, but not having much luck.

Eventually Ash snags Nero and manages to pull the giant Whiscash out of the water. Before he can get his badges back, Team Rocket scoops Nero up in a net and flies away in their balloon. Ash's Grovyle uses Bullet Seed to send the balloon crashing down, and a battle begins. Whiscash uses Earthquake on Team Rocket, and then Pikachu sends them blasting off with Thunder.

"Legend" tries to catch Nero using his own Pokémon, but eventually he just pulls out a Master Ball and throws it—which Nero gobbles up, and then swims away.

==Plot==
While resting by a lake, {{Ash}} decides to polish his [[Badge]] Case and remembers all the [[Gym]] Battles he’s so far had in [[Hoenn]], when suddenly a larger than normal {{p|Whiscash}}, a {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, jumps out of the water and eats the case. Ash calls out {{AP|Corphish}}, which is promptly defeated by the giant Whiscash. Determined to get his hard-earned Badges back, Ash dives in but nearly drowns when he is saved by a self-proclaimed fishing god, [[Sullivan]]. Sullivan has spent years trying to catch the giant Whiscash and regards himself as a fishing legend and god (even though he, in fifty years, has never actually caught the Whiscash, who he has named Nero). [[Max]] accidentally insults Sullivan by asking why he hasn't caught Whiscash yet, but Ash and {{ashfr}} restore Sullivan's spirits by calling him a legend.

Determined to retrieve the Badges, Ash and the others start fishing, with Sullivan offering them various fishing rods and lures. Meanwhile {{TRT}} are also trying to get a hold of the same Whiscash (figuring if they capture it, they will get both a new Pokémon and a bunch of Badges). While {{TRT}} actually spots the elusive Whiscash, Ash, Sullivan and company start fishing. While Ash and the others are not successful at catching anything, Sullivan gets a nibble from a Pokémon every few seconds, but none are Whiscash, so he tosses them all back. Ash asks Sullivan to teach them the secret to fishing, and Sullivan begins to teach them the "art of angling". Max again accidentally insults Sullivan by telling him his first lesson—fish where there are water Pokémon, is obvious, but everyone again calls Sullivan a legend to cheer him up. When Sullivan shows them how to cast the line properly, Max casts perfectly on the first try, again insulting Sullivan, who has spent decades perfecting his technique. Max gets a nibble from this cast—and a Whiscash, though not Nero, surfaces. However, Nero does appear right next to the hooked Pokémon, and taunts Ash by showing him the Badge case before disappearing.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is fishing using James' bottle cap collection as lures. Things take a turn for the crazier when a hooked {{p|Feebas}} bites onto Jessie’s hair, which Jessie flicks off. This gives Meowth an idea, because in the next scene he's suggested Team Rocket fish using Jessie's hair as a rod and lure! Another Feebas bites onto Jessie's hair yet again. Meanwhile, Sullivan proclaims he can sense Nero nearby and casts his line—but hooks only a {{p|Magikarp}}. However, Ash does manage to hook Nero, who takes the would-be anglers and their small boat on a ride towards a pile of rocks! Ash calls out {{AP|Corphish}} and orders it to use {{m|Crabhammer}} on him—which sends Ash flying onto the rocks and putting the boat out of danger. The momentum allows Ash to pull Nero out of the water. Ash calls out {{AP|Grovyle}}, and attacks Nero, but the giant Pokémon simply laughs at Ash. However, it's Team Rocket that seem to have the last laugh—they net Nero the Whiscash from the middle of the battle. Team Rocket quickly escaped using their enhanced balloon. Brock calls out {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} and {{TP|Brock|Lombre}} and orders both to use {{m|Water Gun}}, and Ash orders Grovyle to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Team Rocket is unable to outrun the attacks due to Nero's enormous weight, and the Bullet Seed brings down the balloon. Team Rocket call out their Pokémon for a battle (which Ash combats with Pikachu and Grovyle). Whiscash escapes from its net and uses {{m|Earthquake}}, and Pikachu sends Team Rocket blasting off with {{m|Thunder}}. The smoke from the blast-off causes Whiscash to cough, bringing up Ash's Badge case and Badges.

Sullivan then challenges Nero to a battle, sending out Hannah, his {{P|Flaaffy}}. Using Flaaffy's {{m|DynamicPunch}} and {{m|Iron Tail}} while dodging Nero's attacks, Sullivan weakens Nero, then orders Hannah to use {{m|ThunderShock}}. Unfortunately, Whiscash are part Ground-type, and the attack has no effect. Sullivan then proclaims that he has a plan to capture Nero, and draws a [[Master Ball]] out of his cloak (which Ash and friends recognize with a gasp), a rare and powerful Poké Ball capable of capturing any Pokémon! Sullivan declares that it has taken 50 years just to get a Master Ball, and he throws the powerful ball, which Nero eats. Everyone gasps, and Sullivan yells at Nero exasperatedly (a Master Ball did just fail, after all). Nero jumps back into the water, and Sullivan declares that "Tomorrow's another day!" Ash and company cheer up Sullivan by calling him a legend again, before Ash and company bid Sullivan a cheery farewell.

Nero apparently didn't actually eat the Master Ball but swallowed it, and is shown to be happily balancing its new toy on the tip of its tongue.

* This is the first and, so far, only time where the [[Master Ball]] has been used in the anime.
* Whiscash swallows Sullivan's Master Ball, and is not captured. However, in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'', a wild {{TP|May|Munchlax}} swallows a [[Poké Ball]] and is captured from the inside out.
* This is the second time the main characters are seen fishing in [[Hoenn]]. Oddly, Sullivan has to teach Ash and company to fish, even though Ash and Brock have fished several times before and all present protagonists fished in ''[[AG023|Gone Corphishin']]''.
* This would be the last time the move {{m|Earthquake}} was used in the anime. The move itself would later cause [[AG101 (unaired)|an episode]] to be banned because of {{wp|2004 Chūetsu earthquake|a real earthquake}}. Earthquake has not been used or seen since.
** Coincidentally, that episode too would feature a [[Whiscash]].

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
* The Poké Ball outline on Ash's Badge case is changed to a rectangle in the dub once again.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Which of these Pokémon evolve into {{p|Vigoroth}}?
* Choices: {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Slakoth}}, {{p|Zangoose}}

== "Composed is a more musical term" ==

You recently reverted some of my edits and stated that "Composed is a more musical term" although compose is generally used in a musical term it is not exclusive to music and is perfectly acceptable in many other contexts. Composed of means that the subject of the sentence is made of the object. In the Veilstone City example the dojo is made of several smaller rooms, as I stated earlier comprise is to be used as an active verb so "comprised of" is inappropriate as this is a passive verb so in the Veilstone City example "Veilstone Gym is a dojo comprised of several smaller rooms" means that it is a dojo contained within several smaller rooms which shouldn't make any sense. The argument you used to support "comprised of" is that it "flows" better, this shouldn't be an issue with "composed of" as the pronunciation is very similar. So in conclusion "composed of" should be just as good, maybe even better. Thank you. [[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 16:54, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
:You seem to be laboring under the same misconception as [[User talk:ShinyGiratina#Comprised|another user was]]; "comprised" very much does not have to equal "contains". Passive usage is also not wrong (both Wiktionary and Webster's have quotes using "comprised of").
:In short, there is not really a good reason to change "comprised of". It was discussed on your talk page before. If you weren't convinced, you really should have revisited that discussion, instead of revisiting the pages you were previously reverted on. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:16, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
::Context, my friend. If something is "comprised of" an object, it '''consists of''' or '''contains''' the object. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:41, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
:::Why not use "consists of", "contains" "made of" etc because it is more precise than "comprised of".[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 17:03, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
::::If you want to, go ahead. I always use "consists of" to stray away from the "comprised of" debate, but I am still on the opinion that "comprised of" is not grammatically incorrect.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:40, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
:::::For whatever it's worth, I'd be cautious about okaying something like that. Effectively, it's a green light to change something (''across the board'') that's considered okay just because one person thinks something else is better. If it's okay for anyone/everyone to do that, then we could easily end up with many people making many edits just to change things to their own liking, when it was already fine.
:::::In a situation like this, at best, I'd say that this is a case of "If you come across it in the course of something else, feel free; but don't edit a page just to change that one thing". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:03, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
::::::Precisely. If you're changing it to change the whole sentence or what not, fine. But if you're changing it because someone somewhere thinks it's incorrect, then that's a different issue entirely.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:15, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
:::::::Sorry for late reply I was away for a while. Tiddlywinks although it is true that something should not be changed just because one person has an issue with it, with the "comprised of" issue I would say it's different because I'm not the only person who has an issue with it. ShinyGiratina has shown that he/she has an issue with it and after doing a web search the top results are to do with the issue surrounding "comprised of". If someone does have an issue with grammar and a consensus is reached I don't see what would be wrong with making changes.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 19:15, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

:::::::::::Yes true but I truly believe that the instance on "Mewtwo (original series)" should be changed from "a team comprised of Team Rocket..." to "a team of Team Rocket..." because the word "comprised" is completely redundant. The Lilycove Museum page also unnecessarily uses "comprised of" and a word like "features" could be much better because it would avoid the debate.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 18:13, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
::::::::::::Or just leave it be. If you're going to change the whole sentence (and in turn take out "comprised of") that's fine, but if you just want to solely take "comprised of" out that's where the problem lies. Because there's no reason to change it and the edit is just based off the opinion of one person.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:21, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::::::It's not just the opinion of one person if you do a web search for "comprised of" you will see that many people state that they have an issue with the term. The users Snorlaxmonster and ShinyGiratina have changed "comprised of" so they probably have an issue with the term. If anything if "comprised of" is changed it would avoid the issue and it won't make the pages any worse so why is there an issue with just changing "comprised of"? If someone does why would it be right to revert edits as it is a small change and as I mentioned it won't make anything worse.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 05:34, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
(resetting indent) The problem still arises that there are only a select few users on Bulbapedia that feel that "comprised of" is incorrect, and the ones I have seen posting about it are entirely focused on using only the definition of "comprised" to argue their point. What you (collectively) fail to realize is that when you use a word as part of a phrase, the individual words' definitions do not necessarily directly affect the definition of the phrase. Ask a sample of random people "What does comprised of mean?" and I guarantee that the majority (if not all) will say something along the lines of "is made up of". This case is a situation where common usage has dictated that the definition of the '''phrase''' "comprised of" means "is made up of", and as such is acceptable, and there is no need to change it just for the sake of changing it, whether coming across it by chance or purposely hunting it down. [[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 13:19, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
:Saying that "comprised of" means "made of" might be ok in infomal speech but it doesn't seem appropriate on an encyclopedia. If you check the definitions that Tiddlywinks linked they have usage notes advising against using it so it's not like it's received universal approval. As I have kept mentioning at least if "comprised of" isn't used it would avoid the debate.Your example of asking people what "comprised of" means I believe that a lot would say it's incorrect/inappropriate.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 08:48, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
::Taking a look at [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/comprise Webster's] again, it actually seems to pretty strongly take the side of the "comprised of" sense against proscriptionists, even noting that they've found it to be more common in recent literature.
::Ratchet and Clank 1995, can I ask if you have a problem with the sentence, ''"women comprise about 8 percent of our military forces"''? I.e., is it that "sense 3" (as Webster lists it) that you have a problem with altogether, or is it only the form "comprised of" that rubs you the wrong way? I'm afraid that's not entirely clear to me. =P [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:27, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
:::You're still not getting it Ratchet. You're solely removing "comprised of", you're not changing the whole sentence (which would be fine). There's nothing wrong with "comprised of". If something is '''comprised of''' an object it '''contains''' the object. If something '''comprises''' an object it is '''contained''' in the object.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:26, 13 November 2015 (UTC
::::If there truly isn't anything wrong with "comprised of" why would anyone attempt to change it on this encyclopedia? Why when you do a web search are there so many sites saying that there is an issue with the phrase? I believe it's because it's disputed so there is something wrong with it an as I've kept mentioning removing it would avoid the issue. In the most recent edit I removed "comprised" because it was completely redundant and has it made the page any worse? I don't think so and why is there an issue with just removing "comprised of".[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 10:14, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

::::::There are attempts to change it because people believe they are right no matter what others say. Just because there are random sites devoted to the improperness of the phrase does not mean it is wrong. If dictionaries provide the definition that you are arguing so vehemently against, then that means that the definition is commonly accepted and true, and that you need to adapt your point of view. This is a personal crusade that you (Ratchet) have, as you are now the only person arguing in favor of changing the phrase. You don't like the phrase? Don't use it in your own contributions, but that does not give you the right to demand that the phrase be removed because you personally have a problem with the way it is used.

::::::::@Tiddlywinks, I believe that it would be better to use "make up" or "compose" as generally parts make up the whole while the whole comprises the parts.
::::::::@ChE clarinetist, Webster's state "You should be aware, however, that if you use sense 3 you may be subject to criticism for doing so, and you may want to choose a safer synonym such as compose or make up" which shows that they acknowledgethat the phrase isn't universally accepted and advise you to use something else to avoid the issue. The purpose of a dictionary isn't to tell you what is correct its purpose is to tell you what people mean when they use a word therefore even if something is in a dictionary it doesn't mean it's correct. I only brought up the dictionary to state the usage note which shows that it isn't universally accepted. It's not just my opinion as I've mentioned earlier and if it is removed it doesn't need to be reverted.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 17:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::At some point, when a word has been used long enough without being stopped, you can't really argue it anymore—the language has changed, no matter how much you or anyone like-minded may want to continue arguing it; it's not up to you to pick and choose the bits of language that only suit you. Comprised certainly seems to have been used long enough to reach that point; hell, from my point of view, I've never had the suspicion "comprised of" ''wasn't'' right before running into this issue on Bulbapedia, and I think I've grown up fairly well read. In short...just get with the times. =P [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:07, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

== Regarding edit in Route 4 ==

Hi!

I see that you undid my edit in the [[Kanto Route 4]] page. Regarding the reason you gave, there is only as much north in Route 4 in Gen I and III, as there is in Gen II and IV, as you can see in the route map. As per current info, Mt. Moon is to the north of Route 4 only in Gen II and IV, so how would a player reach Mt. Moon in Gen I and III? They have to go through Route 4 and after entering Route 4, they have to go in the '''Northern''' direction (or rather North-Western), just like in Gen II and IV. If it stays as you have now made it, then it would mean that Mt. Moon cannot be reached through Route 4 in Gen I and III, which is incorrect.

== Pre-evolution tutor moves ==

A while ago, I got into a small [[User_talk:CycloneGU#Tutoring|disagreement]] with another user on how to handle certain pre-evolution exclusive moves. After discussing it for a while on his talk page, he suggested I bring it up with an admin, which I think I meant to do but kind of forgot to until now. The edits in question are [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Musharna_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=2234484&oldid=2234477 here], [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Musharna_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=2234555&oldid=2234543 here], and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ludicolo_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=2234557&oldid=2234549 here]. The source of disagreement was on whether or not certain moves that could only be obtained via pre-evolution in XY but could be tutored in ORAS needed any special indication on the table. I provided a few examples on his talk page of learnsets where this had been done in the past (for move tutors available in Emerald/B2W2/Pt/HGSS but not the other games of the generation), including the Generation V learnsets of both Pokémon in question.

:I feel like the tags also implies that it knows the moves prior to evolution only in those games, as in Musharna would only know Zen Headbutt prior to evolution only in XY, which is obviously not the case. Another thing, the reason of move tutors making the prior learning pointless doesn't really matter. It doesn't mean Zen Headbutt can't be both tutored and learned before evolution. As for which is correct, it's obvious that I'm saying get rid of them, but ask another admin for another opinion. That, and I'm kinda out of touch with the learnlist templates, so I don't really remember which is the correct way.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:31, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

== Mobile browsers and Ads ==

Hi Force Fire.
After writing a long message to only have it not submit properly. I'm trying again.
This issue has been a huge pet peeve of mine for the past month.
Ads, which bind to right side and bottom, take up ~3/4 of a page on a mobile screen. Rendering the use of the wiki page virtually impossible.
They stay outside the frame for the text of the article. But, things like route maps fallout side of those frames on mobile, and then underneath ads.
Also, zooming in doesn't move the ads out of view, they stick with you, so now if something was too small to read, it's large enough but gets covered up.
Lastly. I discovered logging in removes the ads, sure nice, but logging in every time I come here shouldn't be necessary

I searched for well over an hour to find a feedback place on the site. But to no luck. Contacting you is the best solution I came up with. Hopefully you will be able to push this information and come up with a good solution. ([[User:Wingeddonkey|Wingeddonkey]] ([[User talk:Wingeddonkey|talk]]) 05:44, 10 September 2015 (UTC))
:Hello, regarding technical aspects of the site you are best to ask [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/members/1.html Archaic on the forums], or create a thread on [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/ the bulbawiki forum]. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:57, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

You can add trivia (as long as it's notable), you can add personality (as long as it's well written). We don't need gifs, at least, not a ton of it since too many of it can slow down the site. You also need to realize when an article has too many images. [[Ash's Talonflame]] already has a lot of images, adding another would make it look terrible.

== Pokémon world in relation to the real world ==

You reverted an edit in which I removed information about a Spearow nicknamed "Kenya". I fail to see how this is relevant because it's just a name, what next "There is a character from the Diamond and Pearl series called Paris, the name of a city in France". If the Spearow called Kenya is allowed then so should the example I listed. The main issue I have with this one is that the others actually mention the location whereas in this instance it is just the name of a Pokemon. Does this mean that any character in Pokemon with a name that is also a place therefore a reference to the to the geographical location?

The Spearow called Kenya however has no other supporting evidence to suggest the country as I've kept mention it is only a name, did the person mention that he named it after the country? As there is no other evidence it could still refer to the commune. Your point about people would "most likely" know the country is subjective because it depends on the people you would ask and there are probably some people who haven't heard of the country also do you have any evidence to support your claim? Finally it shouldn't be about how well known a place is because the fact is a Spearow is only named Kenya which could refer to a lot of things or none of them.{{unsigned|Ratchet and Clank 1995}}

If ''no one'' has expanded that article beyond that paltry single sentence in the three years it's been around, then it's pretty solidly ''obscure'' or of low significance.)

ForceFire you gave an example about England having various different uses but in that example Misty actually mentioned a place and I explained why I thought it could only refer to the country the Spearow has no other information to suggest that it was named after a country. Hypothetically if I called my pet bird Germany and I don't say that I named it after the country, does it then still mention the country? I don't think so because I never intended it to mention the country.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 18:39, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
(resetting indent) You are just beginning to make up crazy examples now to try to get the article the way you want it. If you name your pet bird Germany, there is really only one thing you can have named it after (the country Germany). Same thing essentially for Kenya. Kenya and Mount Kenya both have their names come from a specific language's name for the mountain, so in effect that is the same thing. However, the mountain is much less known than the country (in fact, I was not aware there was a Mount Kenya until reading this talk). Aside from those specific examples, there is absolutely nothing else of prominence named Kenya, and the country is much more prominent than a mountain that resides within the country Kenya. So yes, in all effect, Kenya in this case would be a reference to the country, and the only way to prove otherwise is to have the person that originally named the Spearow come out and say they named it after something else.

== Thoughts? ==

The five limited-time Pokémon available from Hayley, such as [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Meowth_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2335498&oldid=2330420 this Meowth], should be listed as events because they were special events, even if they weren't directly obtained in the games or via Wifi but were tradeable to the games. Should they get a different layout instead, such as in-game events? I thought the latter is limited to things that are forever obtainable, though. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:33, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think it should count as an event, it was available for a limited time, hell the Haley's Trade page has the Meowth under the Event Pokémon section. I think the current layout would do fine, I personally wouldn't count it as an in game trade as you have to go from one game (to get the Pokémon) to another (to trade it) so it isn't contained into one game, which in game trade (for me) implies.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:48, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
::The question though is that's only available in ''[[My Pokémon Ranch]]'' and you have to then trade it to D/P/Pl. This still qualifies under the event listing? I just want to be sure before doing the other four as well. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:50, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

::::Thought I would jump in here since I just replied on my talk page too about this same discussion. But the "In events" section is typically reserved for events that were distributed directly to the main games and have Wonder Cards. So with them being available in a side game, they would be meeting the criteria for a "In-game event". '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 16:22, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
:::::That was my concern, as well. They don't, I think, meet the criteria for an event with a Wonder Card. That said, they ARE events, without question; players had to "download" the event onto ''My Pokémon Ranch'', they couldn't just play and wait for it to appear. So the question is whether the criteria of having a Wonder Card limits where they go or whether this is a case where we ignore that. I thought it was an in-game event because it's in a side game, has to be acquired in a side game, and then transferred. It's like the [[List of game-based Pok%C3%A9mon distributions in Generation IV#Japanese Pokémon Battle Revolution Pikachu|Battle Revolution Pikachu]] or the Colosseum one from the [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation III#Colosseum Pikachu|bonus disc]]; come to think of it, they are just as game-based as there, so maybe they should also appear on that page and not just on Hayley's trades.

::::::A quick addendum to this: most in-game events are permanently available. This also breaks the mould there by being a rare limited-time in-game event. So it has no Wonder Card (unless we just don't know and it actually does), thereby not meeting "events" criteria, and it is limited-time, thereby not meeting in-game criteria completely. Which rule are we going to break here? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:28, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
:::::::These events defiantly do not have Wonder Cards since they had to be traded for and I am pretty sure there aren't Wonder Cards in the game. However, in-game events being available for a limited time isn't unheard of since events like {{DL|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Pokémon Bank Celebi}} are considered in-game events. I would also like to point out that the Pokémon Ranger events in Generation IV were only available via special missions (which had to be downloaded during a specific period of time), so unless you got the mission while it was available you can't obtain the event anymore. And therefore the only way you would still be able to get those events is if you have a game with those missions downloaded on them. However, as for putting the My Pokémon Ranch special Pokémon on the game-based distribution page there is one problem with that. When we overhauled the events section a few years back, we only classified Generation IV game-based events with Wonder Cards as belonging on that page. I don't recall the exact reasons for that though (so when I get I chance I will have to check my logs with {{u|SnorlaxMonster}} to see if we ever elaborated on that).

== The Underground and the Mystery Zone ==

{{u|SatoMew2}} has added a {{DL|The Underground|Mystery Zone}} section to [[The Underground]], believing that "Mystery Zone" is an intentional name for the area. I believe that "Mystery Zone" is, plain and simple, ''nothing'' but a dummy/placeholder name and is not really intended to be a name for the Underground. This appears because the game reads a 0 for [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|the location]], but it is too easy for 0 to just be an initial/default value (never actually meaningfully assigned), so that doesn't amount to good evidence. And of course, "Mystery Zone" is just, logically, not a likely alias for the Underground. SatoMew and I [[User talk:SatoMew2#Underground/Mystery Zone|have tried to discuss]] it, but it doesn't seem we'll agree, so I was hoping you (or someone on staff) could decide whether that section really belongs on the page. Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:42, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
:If it being 0x0000 is not good evidence, then neither would be values other than 0x0000 since that's what happens with the location headers displayed by the game in the [[void]]. The Underground's location header is set to 0x0000 on purpose because there is no "Underground" header programmed.
:This sums up my POV.[[User talk:SatoMew2|サトミュウ (SatoMew)]] 19:09, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
::Can you at least say if this is being considered, or has been?
::To put it very simply, I think the Underground should discuss the ''actual'' Underground (i.e., ''actuall''/real/intended gameplay), and if any relation between [[The Underground]] and the [[Mystery Zone]] really needs to be discussed, it belongs at [[Mystery Zone]] (where bugs and quirks are ''explicitly'' at issue). It's overall rare that any sort of glitch behavior is discussed in detail outside of a Project GlitchDex page, and I think that's as it should be, and something we should take to heart for the Underground as well. The Mystery Zone is not even a significant (easily encounterable, or else infamous) feature of the Underground, not like, say, [[Lumiose City]]'s save bug or perhaps glitches associated with [[Cinnabar Island]]—and ''both'' of those pages relegate mentions of the glitch(es) to Trivia anyway. No, at best, you need to work very ''deliberately'' to enter the Mystery Zone and find the Underground therein, and only then does any of the stuff currently in [[The Underground#Mystery Zone]] become relevant. Title card or no, IMO the "wealth" of Mystery Zone info that is currently being added to [[The Underground]] simply does not belong there. The title card info should IMO just be put in Trivia, and that should be ''all'' of the Mystery Zone that appears on the page.

:::I'm not too knowledgeable about the internal data stuff, but I think SatoMew2 has contradicted himself. "Even some actual yet unused maps use "Mystery Zone", I mean, sure the Underground was not unused but if the "Mystery Zone" was used for the dummied out stuff, then doesn't that mean "Mystery Zone" itself is just a dummy/placeholder? Because of that, I think it should not be in the underground article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:36, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
::::I didn't contradict myself. "Mystery Zone" is seen in both used and unused locations, and there are unused locations that don't use it. These locations are intentionally set to use the header as opposed to falling back to it during gameplay.
::::The fact that we just stick everything into Trivia sections is another matter altogether ("it's OK because we have always done it like this" is not a good excuse).

:::::I think the amount of effort you do or don't need to encounter a bug does very much matter.

== [[XY094]] ==

A few pokemon fans pointed out a couple months ago that new pokemon merchandise was being released featuring the cast of the anime. (You can simply google "Chespin Evolving Merchandise" to find a lot of the links, since I know Bulbapedia is a bit weird about directly posting the links.) Now, I posted an idea on another forum that casually talks about the anime, but apparently the idea is gaining momentum on some of the bigger pokemon forums. That Ash is going to catch the Quilladin in this episode. It might be worth to pre-emptively semi-protect this page. Not full on protection obviously as it's just a silly fan idea, but a semi-protect might be worth it because although there's no clear evidence (which would be cause for a full on protection), I would think there's enough that people would be drawn to eventually edit the page as they start seeing people talk about it. The merchandise alone seems to suggest a Quilladin WILL be a part of the team sometime soon and there's been nothing to suggest Clemont's will evolve.
Coupled with the fact that suddenly, there's this episode which takes place after the poster line-up, which happens to have said pokemon in it, and happens to be the correct type Ash needs to fill in his usual Water/Fire/Grass elemental wheel and of the correct stage to not be a direct copy of Clemont. This wouldn't be completely unheard of, as a user on said board who talks casually about the anime, Misty did have both Staryu and Starmie on her team at the same time, so although it'd be a first for two different people to have different evos of the same pokemon, it's not entirely unheard of. Obviously, up to you/other admins on if they want to wait to see if people start trying to add it, but I figure pre-emptive strikes might be worth it? [[User:Myzou|Myzou]] ([[User talk:Myzou|talk]]) 02:17, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

== Talonflame's Flame Body ==

"We haven't put on Sceptile's page that Treecko's ability was unconfirmed, and Dwebble's page doesn't suggest its ability could have changed after evolution despite never using Sturdy as a Crustle"

Perhaps I'm late to the party discussing this, but these examples above, I think, demonstrate why we needn't put this note on Talonflame's page. The only example of a Pokémon changing its ability in the anime is Paul's Electivire which as a species loses access to Static in favour of Motor Drive. I know that anime doesn't always go by the same rules as the games but we have consistently been shown Pokémon using the same abilities throughout all stages of there evolution.

:It's done on [[Ash's Leavanny]]. Sceptile is automatically invalid since at the time, it only had one ability. Fletchinder and Talonflame have two, the primary and hidden ability. The writers could decide to give Talonflame its hidden ability for whatever reason. Yes, that's speculation but it is also speculation when you assume Talonflame has the same ability as Fletchinder just because it also normally has Flame Body. Cilan's Crustle was simply overlooked, nothing more.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Seriously, why are you an admin and whoever gave you the power of the undo button must want this site to burn. It is easily seen as Slash in XY071.

Stop doing counter productive things.--[[User:Pikablu|Pikablu]] ([[User talk:Pikablu|talk]]) 05:37, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
:Could've been Scratch. Or False Swipe. Or Cut. Or Fury Swipes. Yes, I know it can't learn Scratch or Fury Swipes, but the anime can make it use those moves because... just because. Anyways, we don't assume the moves of a Pokémon unless it is stated by one of the characters. Just because it looks like a move, doesn't mean it ''is'' the move. Hydro Pump and Water Gun basically share the same animation in the anime. So does Bubble and Bubblebeam. So does Bite and Crunch. So does Thunderbolt and ThunderShock. So does HeadButt and Tackle. So does Explosion and Self-destruct. So does Wrap, Bind, and Constrict. Bottom line, many moves share an animation so don't just assume a move.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:59, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
::Force Fire, I have to wonder weather you actually watch the anime? The suspected moves in question being Pangoro's Slash, Glaceon's Ice Shard, Flareon's Fire Spin, Vaporeon's Aqua Jet and Jolteon's Thunder; of these the only one that could be argued is perhaps Jolteon's Thunder, although I'd wager highly that Thunder was the move used. If the move is not named on screen how can we be sure what that move is? Well it turns out there is a precedent (an earlier event or action that is regarded as an example or guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances) for that.

::When the episode BW007 aired we saw Snivy use an unidentifiable grass type attack; the move used a new animation and there was no way of telling what the move used was, the same happed in XY003 when the Flethcling Ash was battling used an unidentifiable move with its wings. In both cases the moves were not documented at the time whatsoever, other moves like Vine Whip and Double Team were not named in the respective episodes but they were assumed to be those moves as the animations are conclusive. The former two moves were later revealed to be Leaf Storm and Razor Wind, as the two Pokémon continually appeared with the main cast, and they were documented on Bulbapedia as if they were known from the start. The problem here is that none of these Pokémon are on the main cast and its not certain we'll get confirmation in the same way that we did with Leaf Storm and Razor Wind. However, nearly half of the moves used in the anime and indeed the moves documented on Bulbapedia were unnamed and assumed.

::There are even moves used in the same episodes that were unnamed and yet assumed here. Further precedents take us back to "White—Victini and Zekrom" and "Black—Victini and Reshiram" where in the movie, Reshiram used a fire type move that was unnamed on screen. The head of the entire Anime project: Kenji- Girl was asked weather she thought the move was Flamethrower or Overheat, she decided it was Flamethrower and it is documented as such. Keji- Girl's example in this situation is to use our initiative and simply agree.

::Furthermore, in Tangrowth's debut episode, it used a move where its arm glowed purple and it struck the opponent, unnamed in the episode but nevertheless documented as Poison Jab for several years before one user recognised the moves animation more closely resembled Power Whip, a move that had not been shown again and named for almost a year after Tangowth's debut. The appropriate changes were made one the '''consensus''' had been made.

::In the case of Pangoro's attack, we have always assumed legitimate attacks before errors, ruling out Scratch and Fury Swipes, Cut has been shown in the XY anime and the animation is distinguishable. The case you put forward for False Swipes is the only one with grounds however my rebottle is that we, historically, assume a move that sees a lot of use over a move rarely seen. The move matches Slash and we have no false swipes to compare it to.

::Glacoen's move, I can hardly believe is even subject to debate. The animation matches BW's Ice Shard. While was have not yet seen Ice Shard used and named in XY. We can surely assume the move is Ice Shard, same as we assumed that Golbat used Air Slash in XY052; the move was never named and it has not appeared at any other time in XY but we assumed it to be Air Slash as it shared the animation with the BW Air Slash.

::Flareon's very clearly used Fire Spin as the stream of dire instantly began to form circles. This is what we've always recognised as the distinguishing factor between Flamethrower and Fire Spin. This has been used many times when the move was neither specified Flamethrower of Fire spin. Both pages have many times listed where the move was not named on screen but the initiative of the users arrived at a decision. On a side note, assuming you have actually seen the clip of the move in question, do you doubt the move is Fire Spin?

::As with the case of Ice Shard, the animation of the move used by Vaporeon matches BW's depiction (and DP's, for that matter) of Aqua Jet. This move would be, however, an error and as I argued in Pangoro's case "''we have always assumed legitimate attacks before errors''". My aforementioned statement, while still having validity concerning Pangoro, has no bearing on Vaporeon and is in no way a contradiction. Anime move errors happen a lot, in the XY series we've seen a Fletchling use Feather Dance and a Slurpuff using Electro ball, two errors, however they were named. Nidoran♂'s Bite, Froslass's Slash, Dusknoir's Rapid Spin, Regigigas's Hammer Arm, Baltoy and Claydol's Shock Wave, Politoad's Jump Kick, Skunktank's X- Scissor, Uxie and Mespirit's Teleport, Chingling and Chimecho's Sing, Kricetune's Bullet Seed, Unown's Psychic and Tediursa's Pound are only half of the errors documented on bulbapedia that were not named onscreen. These are precedents that say the animation is conclusive. Your comment that "''the other[s] could be illegal moves as well''" is a nonsensical argument; you may as well argue that May caught another Venasaur rather than evolving it from Bulbasaur because it was never said to have evolved on screen. Or even that every time Ash's Pikachu has ever used Thunderbolt, it was a script error and the move was actually Thundershock. Your argument is pedantic.

::Thuder, Thundershock and Thunderbolt have always been similar animations if not the same. However, Thunder has always made a louder sound. To leave this particular move of Jolteon's undocumented would mean most of the times these three moves and discharge are documented will have to be removed. We must come to an agreement as we always have done.

::Finally, don't take my repeated use of the word "''assume''" as basis for a counter argument, as I'll reiterate that assumptions about moves have been made more than they actually have been confirmed. If you're sticking to the argument where unconfirmed moves should be left undocumented, you have a lot of editing to do because these are only the latest in thousands of instances of a move that has not been named.

:::No assumptions. That's the Bulbapedia rule with ANY content. This is an Ash's Charizard gender debate all over again. We require CONCRETE, undeniable proof of anything around here. Otherwise we're not being professional and accurate. And FYI, Force Fire said on the Forums that he does not watch the anime as actively. --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 16:40, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

{{indent}}Yes, I do watch the anime, at least the important episodes (captures, gym battles, evolutions). We can only use precedence if the move in questions has a unique animation (like {{m|Vine Whip}} or {{m|Double Team}}, since they have unique animations). Slash shares its animation with other "claw" moves like {{m|Fury Swipes}} or {{m|Cut}}. Leaf Storm and Razor Wind didn't get documented because they could've been {{m|Razor Leaf}} or {{m|Air Cutter}}.

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Kenji-girl/Archive_21#Flamethrower_or_Overheat This was the only conversation about Reshiram's] move that I could find, and she didn't even give an answer. Yet, you added it in anyway, so I believe that you ''think'' she gave an answer, but she didn't. As for Power Whip, both Poison Jab and Power Whip have a unique animation in the anime (at least, so far) so that was correct.

Back to the topic, just because we haven't seen a Pokémon use False Swipe doesn't mean that the animators won't make a Pokémon use False Swipe. They can do whatever they want, thus we won't know and we won't assume we know. As for the Eeveelutions, they were fantasized as being used on a Showcase, so it could've been stylized versions of Flamethrower (Flareon), Thunderbolt (Jolteon), Random Water move that isn't really clear on what it was (Vaporeon) and Icicle Spear (Glaceon), may seem like a stretch, but still... showcase fantasy.

As for the other assumed moves, those were from a time before we had the "don't assume" rule. Whether we'll go through them, I don't know. May's Venusaur had to evolve because it's known that she had a Bulbasaur. It's not like Paul's Weavile where we don't know if he caught it as a Sneasel. You Pikachu example doesn't hold water as it's always been called Thunderbolt in both the Japanese and the English dub. Thunder having a "louder" sound doesn't amount to anything.

Again the assumed move of the past were from before we had the "don't assume" rule. And whether we'll go through them is up in the air.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:28, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
:In regards to Reshiram's Flamethrower, I remembered that incorrectly, so it should be disregarded. However my point about, May's Venasaur is that we assumed it had evolved from Bulbasaur, this was never stated (see Lenora's Herdier for a similar argument that went the other way on the whim of an admin) and Pikachu's Thunderbolt, I meant an error with the Japanese script (see Roxanne's Nosepass) but I'm obviously not arguing those things, they are just examples of pedantic arguments akin to your own. (Pedantic means "excessively concerned with rules and minor details to the point you become difficult) It would be like saying Brock's Onix didn't evolve into Steelix, Forrest could have lied and the Steelix Brock reunites with is just an actor hired to cover up the fact Onix is dead at the bottom of the ocean. We never actually saw that Onix evolve, now did we?

:This mythical "we don't assume" rule, only seems to have come into effect during XY071 and was lifted right up until XY089, though it still seemed to fluctuate relevance during the episode.

:I think you are arguing black is white. I think your just saying "I am an admin and I'm right no matter what", which you'll probably get away with here but that's not gonna do you much good in the real world. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 11:21, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
::Original Japanese dub trumps all, that's why we don't count Herdier and Lillipup as one. Pokémon is a different case to the moves. We base the Pokémon on what we know, we know May had a Bulbasaur, so when it reappeared as a Venusaur under her command, we put two and two together. Moves are different, unless the move has a unique animation (like Double Team or Vine Whip), we cannot put two and two together because some (if not, a majority of) moves share the same animation.
::The "don't assume" rule is more like a common sense thing. If we don't know what something is, don't guess. Wait until it gets revealed or just leave it be. It's like the VAs, we don't guess or play by ear, we go to the VAs themselves and ask.
::Just so you are aware, I have spoken to Kogoro about the matter (I asked that we don't assume moves unless said move has a unique animation) and her response was "pretty much". I am not abusing my powers, I am just going by what I know from past experience, how we usually do things here and what my fellow admins and higher ups say.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:40, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
:::As far as Fire Spin, Ice Shard and Aqua Jet go, we do know what they are, the only one to have a problem with this was the original user to revert the edits, if he hadn't said anything you'd have no doubt those moves were Fire Spin, Ice Shard and Aqua Jet. Slash is something we can deduce from this "common sense thing" you so patronisingly mentioned.

:::And it seems I remember the Herdier situation a bit better, i'm aware that Japanese dub trumps all. The original made no mention of Herdier having evolved from lillipup the same way it did not mention Venasaur (or indeed Drew and Nando's Roserade) but "two and two" weren't put together then. You can see why I think most admins here choose whichever rules they want to follow as and when they feel like it.

:::I'm sure you did a great job explaining to kongoro why you think your right.

:::Can I ask why Fire Spin and the others are being denied but Razor Leaf and Fairy Wind from the same episode are okay?

:::Be honest now, PlayerKing is only a regular user on here, but he holds some kind of seniority on the forums. That's the staff bias. Furthermore Pikablu is a fairly new user so it's easy to assume he's wrong, perhaps a trouble maker for arguing the case. Then comes along a long time user with a sound argument that you cannot really deny (the only points you've addressed were The Reshiram situation, which I remembered wrong though it still does not deter my case, and my hypotheticals about Venasaur and Pikachu which you either don't fully understand or your just looking for something to argue with) and you as the "senior admin" can't admit you may be wrong. These five moves are literally the only ones that aren't noted down because they haven't been named on screen, while every other time this happened the move was deduced through common sense [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 10:54, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
::::If the moves weren't fantasized about being used in an event that involves showing off a Pokémon (i.e. Showcase), then maybe. But since it was fantasized as being used in an event that involves showing off a Pokémon (i.e. Showcase), there's the ambiguity of whether it's a stylized version of another move (because again, showing off a Pokémon).
::::I've always assumed that we did what we did with Venusaur (and Roserade) because of common sense. We know they had a Bulbasaur and Roselia at one point, so when they reappeared in their evolved form, we put two and two together. Those were done before I was an admin I believe, so if you to ask why they were given the okay, go ask Kenji-Girl.
::::And that's literally all I said to Kogoro, I literally asked if we don't assume moves unless said move has a unique combination and she replied with "Pretty much". I didn't parade that I was right, I just asked a straightforward question and got a straightforward response.
::::As for Razor Leaf and Fairy Wind, they most likely just slipped by.
::::Just because Playerking was the one that started it, doesn't mean we are biased. He was just following the common sense rule of "no assuming". I've already gave reasons against your examples. We know May had a Bulbasaur, it reappears as a Venusaur, common sense. Pikachu's Thunderbolt has always been called out as Thunderbolt in both the original and the dub. As for all the other moves that were assumed and whether we remove them, take that up to the Editorial Board as that would be a major change.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:22, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

== [[Staff of Pokémon Snap]] ==

I have a couple questions/concerns regarding [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Staff_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_Snap&diff=prev&oldid=2349590 a recent edit] to the [[Staff of Pokémon Snap]] page. First and foremost: {{u|Technickal}} added "Tara Jayne as Bulbasaur (uncredited)", and I know Technickal has had issues with sourcing before, so perhaps someone had better double check that this addition actually measures up to Bulbapedia's standards? (On the other hand, it also [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJtEjrNmTR4&t=1m25s looks like] Rachael Lillis and "Madeleine"/Maddie Blaustein aren't in the actual (English?) end credits either, so...I guess either those also don't belong or they're all OK? Or maybe those were confirmed adequately somewhere?)

Of lesser concern, I'm also kind of wondering if the addition of "as Professor Oak" and "as Todd Snap" and all that is okay? Basically, I'm half under the impression it's supposed to be like a duplicate of the end credits, so maybe that's not quite appropriate. Or maybe it's not appropriate for some other reason, I don't know. (This one also applies to the [[Staff of Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]] page.)

== String Shot ==

Look at Playerking95's recent edit reverting me on this page; {{m|String Shot}}. The case put forth is, don't assume the move was String Shot. In case you haven't seen the recent episode, Ariados took captive a prisoner by entangling him in its thread. Playerking says the move may not be String Shot because Ariados can produce thread regardless. This would be fine, if all the other times Ariados spat thread (and it wasn't named) it wasn't documented as String Shot, however it was. In fact Ariados has used what was documented as String Shot yet not named twice in the XY series, the former being only two episodes before the one Playerking fought so counter productively to remove the documentation of Pangoro's Slash, (Which I think is further evidence of how volatile this 'no assuming' crusade quite is) It feels like Playerking95 is targeting me now, with no regard for Bulbipedia's precedence or conventions, his only purpose to oppose myself. As the admin who may be responsible for enabling this kind of behaviour, I thought I'd raise the issue with yourself.

== Stages in Pokémon Picross ==

Any chance [[User:CycloneGU/Pokémon Picross Stages|Pokémon Picross Stages]] can be speedily approved for mainspace on the basis of Shuffle stage data being split already? Already completed up to Area 07, and we're working through it to fill in the data. Further, with over 300 puzzles (304 to be exact) just for Pokémon, it's just as large as Shuffle right now in terms of game size; the userspace page right now is already over 60,000 bytes while the main article is only 16,000, so it makes sense to update the stage data separately from the main page and leave the main page for other game details (skills can stay there this time around, only 12 in the game). I see no harm in providing a "more information" link and using the "stages": section to detail the various modes of play (standard play, Alt Mode, Mega Pencil, etc.).

Also have [[User:CycloneGU/List of Pokémon in Pokémon Picross|this]] on the go, and the data on that also needs filling in. Short of a Pastebin file from somewhere giving up the details (like Shuffle), we have to do this the long and hard way, but at least we have an accurate Pokémon list to work with. That list follows the precedent of making a list of Pokémon for every Pokémon game. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:37, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

:::::Not sure what you mean by it being a cluttered mess? I'm trying to fit in as much information as possible, but if you think something can be removed, I'm all ears. I already moved a couple of things off of the page to the Pokémon list page, but I don't know what else I can move without leaving data incomplete. Unless we can merge columns somewhere? I don't see a good way to do it; the only possibility is merging energy and stage size into one column unless there's something else you have in mind. But yeah, we can discuss that later.

::::::One more quick question. Unless I'm beaten to doing it (and that's fine!), I'm going to eventually add the sidegames entries for Pokémon Picross for the relevant Pokémon, noting for those with Mega forms both stages (48 have Mega forms, so only 256 pages to actually edit). I know the entries for [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] (for which all 720 will eventually get one) must precede it being released a mere two weeks earlier, and even earlier in Japan, but what background template should I use with the Picross entries? I can edit that down and prep 256 entries with it and go on an editing binge to add them one at a time, and any pages missing the Super Mystery Dungeon entry I can leave a commented out version for. For now, I'm going to finish the species list and get it into mainspace by tomorrow, but that's on my mind for afterwards; another editor is helping add the mission data, and I'll be doing an Alt World page soon as well (again prepping in userspace).

[[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 07:56, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

{{indent}}

I can do that, then. However, I would suggest, as Picross is a puzzle game (like Shuffle), that it should be the Beauty colour scheme. That's just my opinion, and it will likely be a little bit before I get to updating them, so if a decision is made on that prior to my using the yellow, please let me know. I don't really mind whatever is used on the sidegames layouts as each line just follows the page. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:37, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
:All right, both pages are mainspaced. I already accounted for the stage list at the main article and added some info on other things related to gameplay, most notably the Mega Pencil and the possible rewards earned by using it on puzzles (and then those Megas on other missions), giving an eventual theoretical cost to the Pencil in actual Picrites that are not earned back. I plan to expand the main article with a medals list, but I checked with my data ripper who notes the [http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/183130-pokemon-picross/cheats GameFAQs version], while correct, doesn't account for "further challenge" medals (I am guessing they are unlocked upon game completion) and is also referred to by my ripper helper as "a partial version of Serebii" with some of the descriptions being "made up, not data ripped". I will follow up on this and see if I can get the proper data-ripped list for the article as this would be ideal to include.

:Meanwhile, for the list, can you edit it appropriately into the [[Template:Pokelist]] and onto the associated page?

== "Salty" ==

I'm extremely bewildered by your statements that I'm... removing the trivia point on Elgyem and Beheeyem due to a personal bias and that I'm "salty?"
No.
I removed it for the following reasons, which were not at all ambiguous in the edit summaries:
The trivia point originally speculated that it '''may have''' been a reference to Area 51. This was deemed speculative. I understand why that is, and I have not once added the speculation back. Still, '''how is outright saying it was "probably" an error any less speculative than saying it was "possibly" deliberate?''' No, I assure you I'm not asking for the other speculation to be added back - you might notice that, again, '''neither''' of my edits did so.
Rather, I removed the speculation, so it was more neutral. This was reverted because it wasn't notable without speculation.
Speculation isn't allowed.
So if there couldn't be speculation, but the trivia point was unnotable - according to '''someone else''' - then how am I emotionally biased or "salty" in removing it completely? I thought that was what people were SUPPOSED to do to speculation and to unnotable trivia.
Next time, give a '''reason''' if you're going to revert someone's edit - I was under the impression edit warring wasn't allowed, and calling me "salty" is just ad hominem that doesn't contribute to Bulbapedia at all.

Or, by any chance, is it possible for me to put it on this talk page?

== Noticed a glitch in the ΩRαS Pokédex ==

I was filling out the Pokédex in ΩRαS when I noticed something odd in both OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire. You know how in the upper screen of the Pokédex, it shows all of the Pokémon's sprite icons? For some reason, if you have Salamence set as Mega Salamence, the sprite still shows regular Salamence instead of its Mega form. This is odd since all other Mega Pokémon, if set up as such, appear as their Mega evolutions, not as their original forms. How should I write this bug? Do I post this error as trivia in the Pokédex page, or do I make an Error section and post it there, or should I put this on Salamence's page? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 05:35, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

== By this site's own logic... ==
If Misha's TG Purrloin proves that Pokémon can act against their biological gender, and therefore non-binary Pokémon exist, then aren't Attract, Cute Charm and Captivate insufficient evidence for male or female Pokémon in the anime because a gay or lesbian Pokémon could attract a gay or lesbian Pokémon, therefore rendering those moves meaningless as evidence? So should all anime genders that are based Attract and Cute Charm be removed unless their biological gender was stated outright by a human who wasn't assuming based on Attract/Cute charm? --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 02:28, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

::But that means that gay and lesbian Pokémon can't use those successfully in the anime, which would be incredibly hoophobic...but does Misha's Purrloin, the only evidence of LGBTQA Pokémon, prove there are more of such? Or was that behavior just a deception of cis-gendered Pokémon a plot device of that isn't reflective of it's sexuality? Is it proof that Pokémon act in non-binary genders, or do Pokémon's cis-gender behaviors encompass a more diverse range of stereotypes associated with multifaceted shades of masculine and feminine stereotypes than needing to be attributed to a LGBTQA identity? If we need to continue this on the forums, just say so... --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 04:14, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

::So if that Purrloin acting feminine/pretending to be female means nothing about sexuality, does that disprove the theory that Charixard could be female even though Pokémon acting against their binary gender has nothing to do with sexuality? Charizard is in love with a biological female of its species, and if, according to the anime rule that since Attract cannot act between gay or lesbian Pokémon, therefore gay Pokémon do not exist in that universe if the psychosexual properties established for Infatuation by that world's science(pseudo as it is) doesn't allow for such, therefore all Pokémon are cis, and therefore all Pokémon with confirmed genders who have crushed on other Pokémon are cis, therefore all confirmed females are crushing on males and vice versa, meaning that Pokémon like Charizard and Pancham are male. That is my question...since Misha's Purrloin supposedly is why Charizard might be female, but since you just admitted that infatuation is cis in the anime's universe, how is Charizard a lesbian if Charla is a confirmed female, and not a Misha's Purrloin case in a universe whose own science doesn't let infatuation work according to sexuality, but to binary genders? How does Misha's Purrloin disprove Charizard being male if Purrloin isn't actively TG, proving that LGBTQA Pokémon exist, therefore making Charizard a potential lesbian? The whole Charizard gender debate hinges on Misha's Purrloin being TG in order to prove that LGBTQA Pokémon exist, and that supposedly made it so Charizard is undetermined to be male because it could be pulling a Misha's Purrloin in order to have a relationship with Charla, since, according to the Misha's Purrloin principle, Charizard might be a lesbian pretending to be a man in order to have a relationship with "her" crush. Is Misha's Purrloin sufficient evidence of LGBTQA Pokémon to throw all gender debates of the CHarizard-Pancham type(in addition to gendered actions, speech patterns and other things of that sort)into chaos because of the possibility of LGBTQA relationships among Pokémon, despite gay/lesbian and TG infatuation being impossible according to the anime's own logic?--[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 05:04, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

== Leech Seed vs Seed Bomb ==

If you watch XY081 where Gourgiest's Lech Seed failed, you'll see that the small pellets all broke but whenever we see seed bomb collided with another attack, they explode. This is why I wrote on the Seed Bomb page that the Breloom in yesterday's episode had used it. Of course as soon as I make an edit that can be disputed in any possible way Playerking comes along and reverts it. I've said before that this user is targeting me, but you've done nothing. There have been other times where the identity of a move has not been confirmed either Leech Seed or Seed Bomb, and they are actually less distinguishable then this time, but PlayerKing has left them alone.

:::It's still too early for any subs to be out, just so you know. I added the info in the same day as the episode was released on a site I watch it on.

All you have to do is just go and ''watch'' the Japanese episode around 11 minutes where Hawlucha stops Pikachu in like I said.

If you did, then you'd hear Ash calling the battle between Noibat and Breloom a "man to man fight" (otoko o otoko tatakai da). After Noibat got up, Ash also said something like "Sore de koso otoko da!", which I think it "That's how a man is!" or whatever.

"Otoko" translates to "man" basically, so by Ash calling Noibat's battle with Breloom with a masculine word like "otoko", it confirms Noibat (and Breloom I guess)'s gender.

== Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon ==

There is no need for a separate table for Primal form at {{p|Kyogre}}. Because only one ability can be active, a Primal Groudon or Mega Rayquaza activating its ability after Primal Kyogre it would in turn render Primal Kyogre subject to attacks as if it was not in Primal form. Groudon can also be in this situation and should also be noted as such, but the type table still differs there due to different typing and both tables are still needed there. Therefore, a note under Kyogre's type table referencing the ability would be sufficient; a similar note can be placed under Primal Groudon's type table, but not under Groudon's itself.

I'll research the format for notes under the table, and once I have that set up I will remove the additional table for Primal Kyogre as there is otherwise absolutely no difference. I see no reason to keep it separated for the same data. Primal Groudon's will simply be notated. See Kyogre's talk page for my reply to the user who brought up the issue, as well.

::(Note: This was meant to be for CycloneGU, but I did not realize that this was not their talkpage until later on. Sorry for the trouble, Force Fire.)

::I believe the following code could be added correctly, though it might need rewriting to be optimal, consistent, and for phasing (It does not use "NewFire," "NewWater," etc. as the code does for ''most'' type matchups other than Immune due to alterations to the Type Chart for existing types in Gen I-II and Gen V-VI. Additionally, items could work around the ability, like our 'friend' Ring Target. Furthermore, the switch might need to use 'maybe' as the Pokémon only use this as a Hidden Ability, but I did not get that far to see if maybe counts for Primary/Hidden or just Primary/Secondary. Likely would require 'maybe'. Finally, I do not know how to describe an Ability as being active and having been replace effectively.): <nowiki>{{#switch: {{{primordialsea|no}}}|yes|maybe=*If this Pokémon has {{acolor|Primordial Sea|000}} active, the effectiveness of {{typecolor2|Fire}} moves is 0×}}{{#switch: {{{desolateland|no}}}|yes|maybe=*If this Pokémon has {{acolor|Desolate Land|000}} active, the effectiveness of {{typecolor2|Water}} and {{typecolor2|Electric}} moves is 0×, the effectiveness of {{typecolor2|Ground}} moves is 2×, the effectiveness of {{typecolor2|Poison}}, {{typecolor2|Bug}}, {{typecolor2|Steel}}, {{typecolor2|Fire}}, and {{typecolor2|Fairy}} moves is ½×, and the effectiveness of all other moves is 1×.
*If this Pokémon had activated {{acolor|Desolate Land|000}} and their opponent has {{acolor|Primordial Sea|000}} or {{acolor|Delta Sea|000}} as active, then the effectiveness of {{typecolor2|Water}} moves is 4× until Desolate Land is active again.}}</nowiki> One issue is the the notes seem to usuaaly work from the current ability or Mega Evolution of the Pokémon (and thus, Type Effectiveness) and then gives scenarios that would alter or remove that ability or alter the type matchups through altering the type. However, Primal Pokémon work based on their ability, so I believe that this case in the notes would be permitted.

Hello, what I was getting at in M13 was that Psychic's effectiveness hasn't been proven to not work on Dark types in the anime. Kenji-girl removed a similar point from BW53. I was also thinking that it cannot be done in the games regardless what I mean is that it's impossible to use Psychic to levitate yourself or anyone else, if it was then you could probably get passed every obstacle and then there won't be much of a game. In the games where Psychic only does damage it can be used for assistance in the anime and they aren't strict on types so they're differences and not errors. I can see another user agrees with me as that point was later removed. Thank you[[User:Sly Fox|Sly Fox]] ([[User talk:Sly Fox|talk]]) 11:11, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Regarding [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY107&curid=209755&diff=2406530&oldid=2406523 this edit], do you have any source that says that "heroes's" is an acceptable plural possessive form of hero? I know with proper nouns, either way is acceptable, but to my knowledge, with common nouns, the only proper way is to add the apostrophe after the s.

== Name Origin Igglybuff/Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff ==
As per previous discussion I feel that the inclusion fuusen in any of the name origin sections for any of these pokemon is misinformation. (Fukureru seems justifiable for Wigglytuff only.) The reason I feel this way is because of the literal names used for these Pokemon in their original Japanese releases and a reasonable understanding of how Japanese works as a language.

Jigglypuff is Purin, that is not up for debate and neither is the fact that it literally means pudding in Japanese. That should be the primary name origin regardless of anyone's opinion on whether it makes sense because it only has to make sense to Satoshi Tajiri.
Technical reasons that Fuusen is highly unlikely to factor into Purin... First of all the fuu part of fuusen has a long vowel. In Japanese these long vowels are very important because they make the difference between two completely unrelated words and/or just plain gibberish. If Tajiri had intended for Jigglypuff's name to imply a combination of Fuusen and Purin it would likely have been something/anything different from plain old purin. Without that long U there is no implication of any other word besides purin. Fukureru doesn't factor in either because fuku is a single word on it's own. Splitting it off and adding a dakuten transforms it beyond recognition just as much if not more than shortening fuu. There are just too many steps to getting fuusen and fukureru to fit meaningfully into Purin. Like as if I were to make a dinosaur pokemon and call it Chase and expect people to know I mean a combination of chance and case because its the Container pokemon. Plus look at it from the point of view that the name itself is trying to tell you something about the pokemon. Why would it make sense for Jigglypuff to be named pudding? Because Tajiri is trying to tell you that this pokemon is soft and jiggly like Japanese pudding. My fictional pokemon Chase is a long legged dinosaur with a body shaped like a container, but I called it chase to tell you it like to run after things. Maybe my fictional localizers renamed Chase to Runbucket to make the meaning more obvious, I dunno.

I can see how purin might not make sense right away, but fuusen makes even less sense. It is literally the category name. I would be surprised if in Japanese it didn't say Pokemon no Fuusen. I've already pointed out some pokemon that have names that are either fully or partially unrelated names to their categories, so there is a precedent for it. If you still can't see how fuusen doesn't fit into these names then I don't know what to tell you. From my point of view you are telling me that apple is a combination of ape and application because they both have an 'a' in it and never mind the left over 'e'.

:: It isn't just color scheme, it is also appearance and powers. It is as much a reference to Carbuncle as Tyranitar is to Godzilla. It's like saying Solid Snakes Code name in MGS2 isn't a reference to ''Escape From New York'' because Snake Plisskin is a copyrighted character. Also, need I bring up the Power Rangers reference from ORAS? Shiny Espeon = Carbuncle, it is requiring you to ignore 6/7ths of my proof and bend over backwards to dispute it. The reference is transparent, obvious, and true. [[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 08:14, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::Color scheme is it's appearance, and having psychic powers are just a coincidence. And just because they look the same does not mean that one is based off the other, it just means they're both based off of the same thing.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:35, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::: "Color scheme is its appearance" is exactly what I mean by "bending over backwards" in an effort to make your point. You are saying that the similarities, including many small, distinct, and ''deliberate'' details, including those added later, are a coincidence, and that response is not satisfactory anywhere. A nod to another game from the same publisher is hardly a scandal, it's an Easter Egg. An obvious and transparent one. Creatures based on the Carbuncle of legend have been made in every color of the rainbow, so the choice to make Espeon green like the one from Final Fantasy, the only well-known Carbuncle at the time, is an obvious nod.[[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 08:46, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
::::: No, it's not bending over backwards. The color scheme is part of its appearance, just like the gem on its forehead is part of its appearance. Both being green is just a coincidence, it does not mean Espeon is based off the Carbuncle from FF.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:06, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::: You are literally ignoring everything I am saying and am now invoking logical fallacy. You are saying that something that shares the same color, long ears, fuzzy looks, ruby head gem, blue eyes, and later-added reflection powers(Features of Carbuncle popularized by the FF incarnatioh) in yet another effort to make the reference is just a coincidence. You are in denial. Is there some reason that you cannot see that it is indeed a harmless nod to another great game franchise? [[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 09:17, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Again, coincidence and an opinion. Just because they share similar characteristics does not mean that Espeon is based off/originated from FF's Carbuncle.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:29, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
::::::::Let me give you an example of a coincidence: Pangoro's resemblance to Jotaro Kujo is coincidence because both are based on the "Bancho" stereotype. If, however, Pangoro's hair resembled a tattered hat and he summoned a big blue guy to punch things with, it would cease being coincidence. Shiny Espeon is not only a big-eared green critter like Carbuncle, it also has a red forehead jewel and summons a reflective barrier like Carbuncle. That is too many specific similarities to be coincidence. I have yet to see you offer proof that it is coincidence. [[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 16:21, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::ForceFire doesn't need to offer proof of a coincidence, you need to offer proof that the designers definitively took inspiration from that FF character. Since your whole premise rests on the Shiny version, I'm inclined to agree with ForceFire that it is entirely coincidence with the way their color-changing scheme works for creating the Shiny variants. [[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 16:33, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::: Espeon's shiny color was intentional and constructed by the developers(Similar to Charizard's), as the standard method would have turned it ''blue'', like every other purple pokemon out there(Gligar, Gastly, Swalot, etc.). As if the designers taking the time to give it a unoqie Shiny color isn't proof enough, It also is not just a general resemblance; it copies specific features and abilities in a combination exclusively attributed to Carbuncle. And please don't insult my intelligence by saying he doesn't need to offer proof; In my previous Pangoro example, I can heap on oodles of proof that its resemblance to Jotaro Kujo is a coincidence by digging up actual pictures of Japanese thugs and other "Bancho" characters from other works of fiction. I haven't found a single other green critter with a red forehead jewel that has reflective powers that isn't named "Carbuncle" in fiction, unless it's called "Espeon". [[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 16:52, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::: To humor you, I did the pallet-shifting method on the Espeon sprite. In order to get Green fur, I had to basically invert its color completely. However, its fur color was very dull and its gem turned blue, a far cry from the bright green fur and ruby-red gem in the actual sprites. In order to get Shiny Espeon's combined colors, they had to have edited the sprite beyond a simple hue shift. [[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 17:05, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::: Or it could just be a random choice of colors to be different and it just happens to share the same color as Carbuncle. Having the same features does not mean Espeon is '''based off''' the Carbuncle, it just means that the two are '''based off''' the same thing. And having psychic abilities is a coincidence. It's like saying Sentret is '''based off''' the Tanuki suit from Mario because of its tail, the concept of the Tanuki did not originate from Mario and both are '''based off''' the same thing. Pangoro does resemble (and is '''based off''') a thug or Bancho characters, '''in general''', it is NOT '''based off''' a specific character.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:24, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

== XY ''Version'' ==
Well, the problem is, that it is in the "Wanted pages" page, so why don't sombody do something, otherwise everybody will make that page again and again, and everytime again it will be deleted? [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 17:34, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
:You are always welcome to fix red links via [[Special:WhatLinksHere]]. We do not want to have redirects made just because someone is unable to use link templates properly.

== Squishy setting to reappear ==

I spoke to Shadoguardian three days ago regarding an edit on [[Squishy]]'s page but he hasn't got back to me. He added the content stating that Squishy was set to reappear in [[M19]], I removed it as only human characters get those instead of Pokémon. He then readded the content without stating why. That was when I spoke to Shadoguardian as an edit war was about to start. Can you take care of this? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 15:35, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

== Pichu in SSB trivium ==

Another couple of things I'd like to point out as reasons to delete that trivium: Other than Generation I, every single other generation has only ever had 0 or 1 fighter in SSB. And Lucario's been in two games in a row now (and first appeared a whopping ''eight'' years ago), so if it's not worth noting for Lucario I don't see how it's worth noting for Pichu.

Generation I, not Pichu, is clearly the odd one out. If we're really wedded to the concept of a SSB/generation trivium, I think it'd be better to have something like "Generation I is the only generation to have introduced multiple Pokemon that are playable characters in the Super Smash Bros. series" on the Generation I page, rather than an only-one-of-their-generation on any of Pichu, Lucario and/or Greninja's pages. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:03, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
:Brawl and 4 are the most recent in terms of the installment not the years, it's been two games since Melee. Yes, it's been eight years since Brawl but SSB isn't like Pokemon where a game gets released year after year, so the year length is too great to use as a criteria. As for Gen I having the most, I think that's very obvious due to it being Gen I, so of course there's going to be more than one representative.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:23, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello. When someone undoes your edit, please do not simply add it back. If you'd like to start a discussion on it, please do so on the talkpage. As it stands, that particular piece of trivia doesn't need to be there. All it really says is that Yellow is the only Gen I game that doesn't have Raichu, and it's not notable. Thanks.

== VC Box printing ==

I don't think there's any particular difference in the VC Yellow that needs noting regarding the printing options. Let's talk about it.

Now, I only have the Japanese VC Yellow right now. It's possible there might be something different between the JP and US (if that's what you have) VC versions. But anyways, on page 4 of the manual, it only seems to say that you can't change the Print ''settings'' in the [[Options]]. (Which seems to actually be false. I was able to change them just fine.) Can you quote what you're seeing in your manual?

That aside, though, the option is still in the PC, so I think there's nothing that really needs noting. I mean, ''of course'' you can't connect a Game Boy Printer, so no one should expect it to actually work. But playing my US Yellow cartridge, if I try to print a Box I get "Printer Error 2"/"Check the Game Boy Printer Manual." (In my JP VC Yellow, it actually says it's trying to communicate when I select the print Box option. I ''suppose'' that's just a difference between the JP and US versions.) Does your VC Yellow (I assume US) say the same thing?

::Interestingly, whereas the US VC manual has the exact same wording in both those places, the JP VC manual says different things (like I said, on page 4 it says the setting can't be changed, while on page 9 it actually says the option can't be selected/acted on).
::Are you saying that when you try to print a Box, there's no message, no change of any sort except for the music?? It'd be pretty weird for JP vs US VC versions to be that different. O_o
::I tried the Pokedex on my Yellow cartridge and it shows the same error message I see when I try to print a Box. But in JP VC, it did absolutely nothing, like you said and like the manual says.

:::In case you're interested, here are copies of [https://ghostbin.com/paste/mk78g the Japanese Yellow VC patches] and [https://ghostbin.com/paste/qrqe7 the English Yellow VC patches] ([http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,7436.msg199800.html#msg199800 the original source]). Both versions disable the Pokédex's print option by making it do nothing. I haven't checked what the commented-out print-related patches are for. [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 19:45, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

:::::If the Print option within the PC menu acts the same in the VC as in a cartridge, then no, there is ''nothing'' that needs to be mentioned on the [[Pokémon Storage System]] page. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
::::::OK, I tested the unused patches. <code>Fix_print</code> also changes the behavior of the Pokédex's print option. Normally, when the Game Boy Printer isn't connected, requesting a print makes the game return Printer Error 2 and play the printer theme, which after being dismissed, moves the cursor back to the Pokémon that the player chose in the Pokédex list. The patch would do the same thing except it would play the button-press sound effect and skip the error altogether. As to the Japanese-only <code>disable_print_check</code>, it breaks the printer at Summer Beach House if the player tries to print, both when displaying Printer Error 2 (printer not connected) or when the game is printing (printer is connected), causing a freeze. This explains why they didn't use it. <code>disable_print</code> is the only print-related patch that was used and it changes the behavior of the Pokédex's print option to play the button-press sound effect and do nothing. There are no other patches for Game Boy Printer functionality so everything is the same on both Game Boy and Virtual Console. The printer patches for the French, German, Italian, and Spanish Yellow VC releases are the same ones as the English patches.

== Links/redirects ==

When you create links, please try to make sure they're not redirects. Taking a [[Special:Diff/2420063|recent edit]] of yours as an example... One simple thing to keep in mind is that most pages are at their ''official''/full title; so our "Brawl" page is only a redirect and the real page is at [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Also, Pokemon should pretty much never be linked by just their name; instead, you should link <code><nowiki>{{p|SPECIES}}</nowiki></code>, because all of our species pages are at <code><nowiki>SPECIES (Pokémon)</nowiki></code> (like [[Manaphy (Pokémon)]]). (You can find a bunch of other useful templates at [[Bulbapedia:List of link templates]]. There are a couple that are just like Pokemon species, namely moves and Abilities.)

== Talk page response ==

Just because there was no response to your comment on the talk page, doesn't mean you can just make the edit anyway. Have more patience, someone will comment in the mean time.

Hello. As I mentioned on {{p|Raichu}}'s page, when someone undoes your edit, please do not simply add it back. This is called edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you still think the edit was a good idea, please discuss it on the talk page. Thank you. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 02:16, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Ughh, I really hate my lack of patience. This is the 2nd time this happened here.

Sorry once again. If you want to block me, do what you will. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 02:26, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

== Uploading images ==

You've been told about this, I'm aware, but just to remind you, to upload images you do so by creating an account over at [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page the Archives]. Once you've created an account, you must be autoconfirmed yo be able to upload, the requirements for autoconfirmed by the same over at the wiki (a certain amount of mainspace edits and be a user for a while).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:27, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

I know I have to do a number of edits before I can upload, I just don't know the exact amount I need. Thanks anyway though. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

== Talk page formatting tips ==

Not sure if you know this already, but when you're replying to someone on a talk page, put colons (:) in front of your message to indent them, generally one more colon than the person you're replying to. This makes the conversation easier to follow and also places your message on a new line without necessitating a second line break. You can also lead your message with asterisks to start it with a bullet, or lead it with a space, like you did on [[Talk:Milk Drink (move)]], to make it appear in that box thing (I'm not sure what use that has, I've rarely seen anybody do that on purpose). You can see some examples of what I'm talking about on the {{bp|wikicode}} page (bottom of the first table), and in some of the messages on this talk page.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:18, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
:So it was a space that did it, huh? Okay, thanks for the tip, as well as the link. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 23:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
::Just to piggyback on a related topic, please don't leave HTML comments like [[Special:Diff/2428778|this]] on talk pages (or any page). Something (''hidden'') like that is just completely pointless. Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:12, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:12, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

:If you're talking about that box thing, I did use it, but then I thought "it must just be showing me the change I added" for some reason, as in it would vanish upon posting. Turned out not to be the case.

:Although I do admit I sometimes forget to use it, that wasn't the case this time. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 01:28, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
::Yeah, I posted this in part because you've expressed similar surprise at your own edit a few times in the past already. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:50, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
:::Just to clear up any possible confusion, since I've seen you make this assumption at least once before: what you see when you click "Show preview" is ''exactly'' how it will look when you save the page. There may be a few small exceptions (eg. signature timestamp), but a preview should never specifically indicate what you've changed.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 02:43, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Hey, I've noticed that you mainly edit the trivia sections, while there's nothing wrong with that, it's best not to spend all your time on the trivia section and contribute to the mainspace. I've also noted that a majority of your trivia have either been reverted or reworded because they we're either vague or too specific, so I think you should take a step back and decrease your edits t the trivia section. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:57, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
:TBH, thinking of trivia is what I enjoy the most for some reason, plus I usually can't think of anything else to do here. And I've never been good at Language Arts, so writing an entire article is out of the question for me. :/ What else is there for me to do?

== Serebii as a source ==

So I noticed on {{u|Tiddlywinks}}' talk page, they didn't specifically answer your question about why Serebii is unacceptable as a source, so I thought I'd answer it here to clear up any confusion. The webmaster of Serebii has specifically asked us not to use any material that appears on his site, so we aren't allowed to do so. I haven't heard of any other sites restricting us like htat, so as far as I know, pretty much any other well-known, generally reputable Pokemon site is typically acceptable as a source for most things. :) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:43, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
:Really? I wonder why he doesn't want it. Anyway, thanks for telling me this. ^_^ [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 05:00, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
::Uh... not sure where you got that from Pumpkinking, that's not true. Serebii is not a reliable source because it is a fansite and fansites in general aren't reliable sources.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkS2E8FCw >___>] Which is it guys? {{unsigned|Unowninator}}
:::I distinctly remember that being the reason commonly cited in edit summaries and on talk pages back around the time X and Y were initially released. Maybe I misunderstood at the time and that was just a time-specific reason, and the fan site thing is a broader reason. Sorry if I was mistaken. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:13, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

== Exp. All ==

I just wanted to explain more here since an edit summary doesn't really allow much room for explanation.

My problem basically boils down to, I just don't think it's something that should necessarily be expected from the description. I think if the experience ''were'' affected if you had multiple of the item, that might be notable. But this is a glitch, and not necessarily doing anything surprising. It's just not needed.

(Also, FWIW, even Key Items have the "Toss" option in Gen I. That said, Exp. All isn't a Key Item, because you ''can'' toss it, whereas you can't for something like the Super Rod.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:29, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

:Okay, fair enough. Sorry about the undoing. I didn't realize there was more to it. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 02:08, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

== Shaymin trivia ==

Quick question about the trivia you added to [[Shaymin (Pokémon)#Trivia|Shaymin]]'s page - is the second berry in the trivia point supposed to be [[Rawst Berry]] or [[Aspear Berry]]? I notice the point appears to be about freezing, but Rawst Berry doesn't cure freezing.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 18:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
:Whoops. Sorry about that. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 19:28, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

== cerulean city ==

you're right but isn't that going out of your way? if u play the game "normally" you gotta get dig first.--[[User:EternalDragonX|EternalDragonX]] ([[User talk:EternalDragonX|talk]]) 22:22, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
:Well for Speed purposes, no; it let me skip visiting Bill so didn't have to get the S.S Ticket, which means more space for my bag & PC for TMs & other stuff worth duplicating. But if trading doesn't count, then you're right; Dig can't be skipped. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 22:30, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
::oh are you playing red? I'm playing fire red and u gotta get the ss ticket first to advance past cerulean. I feel like trading is going out of your way because you can't get cut till vermilion which is where the game expects you to be able to get it.--[[User:EternalDragonX|EternalDragonX]] ([[User talk:EternalDragonX|talk]]) 22:38, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
Yes, I'm playing the games on the VC, actually. And just so we're clear, why exactly can't you use Cut if traded? Because you only need to beat Misty to use Cut; once you do that, just trade a Pokemon and you can skip both Dig and the S.S. Anne. I don't remember the scenario for FR/LG. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 23:07, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
:i didnt say you couldn't use cut if traded, i meant that you can't get cut the hm till vermillion which is when the game expects you to get cut. The game does not expect you to trade to get all the HMs and skip stuff. so if you play the game "normally" and do what your expected to do, which i believe is what most people would do, then you have to get the tm first, then the bike.--[[User:EternalDragonX|EternalDragonX]] ([[User talk:EternalDragonX|talk]]) 23:23, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

Just a reminder to link with {{bp|link templates}} when applicable, eg. <code><nowiki>{{m|After You}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[After You]]</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{a|Normalize}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[Normalize]]</nowiki></code>, etc. I notice that you do use these most of the time, just keep it up and don't forget!

Additionally, when linking to games, please remember to use {{template|game}} for pre-Generation VI core series games instead of {{template|g}} to avoid linking to redirects, and that you don't need to use the "s" parameter with {{template|g}}. Thank you.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 02:57, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

:So the correct uh, "words" are <nowiki>{{game|Red and Green|s}}, and {{g|X and Y}}</nowiki>? BTW, why does it matter if it's a redirect or not? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 04:10, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

== Golbat Gen I Learnset ==

So, I caught a two Golbats in Pokemon Yellow (the original Gameboy version, not the VC), one level 39 and the other level 44. The Level 39 Golbat had the moveset of Bite, Supersonic, Confuse Ray and Wing Attack (in that order), while the level 44 Golbat had the moveset of Supersonic, Confuse Ray, Wing Attack and Haze. Our list is correct, the game appears to think that Golbat learns Bite before Supersonic, we're looking into it to investigate further.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:10, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
:Okay, so it looks like the game skips Bite when generating a level 43+ Golbat's moveset as it is a starting move. Basically, it generates the starting moves (Leech Life, Screech, and Bite) then changes it according to its level and its most four most recent moves. So it gives it Supersonic, filling the fourth slot, skips Bite since it already "knows it" and replaces Leech Life, Screech, and Bite with Confuse Ray, Wing Attack, and Haze. Hope that's clear.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:25, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

== Talk page chronology ==
Please keep all talk page sections in chronological order as according to the date of the first message. Don't move the whole discussion to the bottom because you missed a couple of messages.

== Regarding Raichu ==

Hello. When someone undoes your edit, please do not simply add it back. If you'd like to start a discussion on it, please do so on the talkpage. As it stands, that particular piece of trivia doesn't need to be there. All it really says is that Yellow is the only Gen I game that doesn't have Raichu, and it's not notable. Thanks.

== VC Box printing ==

I don't think there's any particular difference in the VC Yellow that needs noting regarding the printing options. Let's talk about it.

Now, I only have the Japanese VC Yellow right now. It's possible there might be something different between the JP and US (if that's what you have) VC versions. But anyways, on page 4 of the manual, it only seems to say that you can't change the Print ''settings'' in the [[Options]]. (Which seems to actually be false. I was able to change them just fine.) Can you quote what you're seeing in your manual?

That aside, though, the option is still in the PC, so I think there's nothing that really needs noting. I mean, ''of course'' you can't connect a Game Boy Printer, so no one should expect it to actually work. But playing my US Yellow cartridge, if I try to print a Box I get "Printer Error 2"/"Check the Game Boy Printer Manual." (In my JP VC Yellow, it actually says it's trying to communicate when I select the print Box option. I ''suppose'' that's just a difference between the JP and US versions.) Does your VC Yellow (I assume US) say the same thing?

::::::OK, I tested the unused patches. <code>Fix_print</code> also changes the behavior of the Pokédex's print option. Normally, when the Game Boy Printer isn't connected, requesting a print makes the game return Printer Error 2 and play the printer theme, which after being dismissed, moves the cursor back to the Pokémon that the player chose in the Pokédex list. The patch would do the same thing except it would play the button-press sound effect and skip the error altogether. As to the Japanese-only <code>disable_print_check</code>, it breaks the printer at Summer Beach House if the player tries to print, both when displaying Printer Error 2 (printer not connected) or when the game is printing (printer is connected), causing a freeze. This explains why they didn't use it. <code>disable_print</code> is the only print-related patch that was used and it changes the behavior of the Pokédex's print option to play the button-press sound effect and do nothing. There are no other patches for Game Boy Printer functionality so everything is the same on both Game Boy and Virtual Console. The printer patches for the French, German, Italian, and Spanish Yellow VC releases are the same ones as the English patches.

== Links/redirects ==

When you create links, please try to make sure they're not redirects. Taking a [[Special:Diff/2420063|recent edit]] of yours as an example... One simple thing to keep in mind is that most pages are at their ''official''/full title; so our "Brawl" page is only a redirect and the real page is at [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Also, Pokemon should pretty much never be linked by just their name; instead, you should link <code><nowiki>{{p|SPECIES}}</nowiki></code>, because all of our species pages are at <code><nowiki>SPECIES (Pokémon)</nowiki></code> (like [[Manaphy (Pokémon)]]). (You can find a bunch of other useful templates at [[Bulbapedia:List of link templates]]. There are a couple that are just like Pokemon species, namely moves and Abilities.)

Thanks. =) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 09:10, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

:Honestly, I just click Preview & check to see if the links are blue. If they are, I leave them alone. If red, I try to change it. Also, I just checked the Manaphy links, and I fail to see a difference. So I don't quite understand...

:Also, I noticed quite a portion of my edits are undone by you. Do you check all new users or something? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 16:46, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
::Visit [[Manaphy]] and [[Manaphy (Pokémon)]] in two separate pages (or tabs) and compare the pages. The difference should be pretty obvious. (It's not a huge difference; but still, we prefer not to link redirects.)
::I check Recent Changes (not I alone, nor staff alone). I generally check areas of interest to me or anything that could be a "problem", and trivia is rather frequently a "problematic" section. That's all. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:11, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

== Talk page response ==

Just because there was no response to your comment on the talk page, doesn't mean you can just make the edit anyway. Have more patience, someone will comment in the mean time. If you wanted a quicker response, go to the talk page of the user that reverted you. And to answer, I reverted your edit because it was overly specific.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:32, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
:Unfortunately, patience is one of my weak points. I only undid the edit because I thought if it's not in Recent changes, it's not going to be noticed for a long time. My apologies.

Although I do wish I could have a 3rd vote to break the tie. If someone else agrees with you, I'd stop. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:35, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

:*notices you protected the page* ... You're a moderator, aren't you? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:38, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
::I'm a staff member, yes. Why?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:40, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Just asking. But if you are one of the staff, then I guess you have the final say. Very well, I'll stop. Once again, sorry about everything. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:43, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

== Images ==

Images on Bulbapedia are hosted over on the [[a:Main Page|Bulbagarden Archives]]. The ability to upload images is limited to autoconfirmed members, so if you're not autoconfirmed on the Archives, just ask a [[a:Archives:Staff|staff member]] to upload an image for you. On the topic of your image, the low quality and the black borders on the sides lead me to believe that you obtained it from a YouTube video. We do not allow users to obtain content/images from others without permission. Do correct me if I'm wrong, though. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 17:47, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, it was from youtube. I didn't think it mattered. My bad. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 19:41, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

== [[Gym Leader]]s/Badges in the anime ==

A bit of advice: If something keeps getting changed, please check the page's history and any edit summaries to see if there's an explanation (and if you still disagree, discuss it). The In the anime bullet point for the Earth Badge says "given" because that's the only viable option within that list. Just read the sentence that introduces the list. Please do not keep changing it. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 09:31, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:Well IMO, I think he earned it fair & square. But if we can't say that, what about just "other", or even an footnote with an asterisk or that {{tt|underline thing|Is there a word for this?|}}?[[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 19:04, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
::The list is about ''what Misty said''. And Misty gave two options: earned or given. So no, we will not create a third one just because someone(s) doesn't like how one of them is characterized.
::Nor is there any need for any sort of note. A smart reader can very easily make their own judgement in that regard; there's simply nothing we ''need'' to say.
::(As an aside, try to indent your responses one space further than the previous person's, using ":". You can take this section as an example. Thanks.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:24, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

== Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Version ==

Please don't create a redirect because of a template error, learn how to use the template. To make it plural just add '''|s''' near the end of the template like so: <nowiki>{{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}</nowiki>.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:37, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
:On the other hand, like I mentioned above, using the "game" template with XY or ORAS makes a redirect (since it inserts "Version" and the Gen VI games don't use that); "g" should really be used instead: <code><nowiki>{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}</nowiki></code>. (I know our game templates are a bit of a mess. =P ) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 12:41, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
::Adding on to the confusion (sorry!), the "|s" parameter isn't needed when using {{template|g}}. It's only used to make {{template|game}} link to "Pokémon <game> Version'''s'''" instead of just "Pokémon <game> Version". I don't think it actually does anything when used with {{template|g}}.
::Additionally, just a reminder to try to preview your edits with the Show Preview button. [[Special:Diff/2422466#Trivia|Your recent edit]] to Cosplay Pikachu created a template redlink that could have easily been caught with a preview.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 03:34, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Huh; I thought I fixed that?

Edit: Okay, now I see what happened: I typed it in, but forgot to save it. *facepalm* And I didn't forget about Preview; I just misclicked again. *facepalms again* [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:41, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
:Ah, don't worry about it then, we've all been there. Just try to be more careful in the future :)--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 04:11, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

== Creating pages ==

Please do not create pages with no article content as you did on [[SpotPass]]. Because there was a previous article in another user's userspace, their article should be moved to the mainspace by a staff member rather than a new page being created. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 04:43, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Huh? I'm not sure I understand. I found nothing on Spotpass when I did a search. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 15:46, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

== Reverting Edits ==

Hello. As I mentioned on {{p|Raichu}}'s page, when someone undoes your edit, please do not simply add it back. This is called edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you still think the edit was a good idea, please discuss it on the talk page. Thank you. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 02:16, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Ughh, I really hate my lack of patience. This is the 2nd time this happened here.

Sorry once again. If you want to block me, do what you will. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 02:26, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

== Uploading images ==

You've been told about this, I'm aware, but just to remind you, to upload images you do so by creating an account over at [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page the Archives]. Once you've created an account, you must be autoconfirmed yo be able to upload, the requirements for autoconfirmed by the same over at the wiki (a certain amount of mainspace edits and be a user for a while).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:27, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

I know I have to do a number of edits before I can upload, I just don't know the exact amount I need. Thanks anyway though. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

== Talk page formatting tips ==

Not sure if you know this already, but when you're replying to someone on a talk page, put colons (:) in front of your message to indent them, generally one more colon than the person you're replying to. This makes the conversation easier to follow and also places your message on a new line without necessitating a second line break. You can also lead your message with asterisks to start it with a bullet, or lead it with a space, like you did on [[Talk:Milk Drink (move)]], to make it appear in that box thing (I'm not sure what use that has, I've rarely seen anybody do that on purpose). You can see some examples of what I'm talking about on the {{bp|wikicode}} page (bottom of the first table), and in some of the messages on this talk page.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:18, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
:So it was a space that did it, huh? Okay, thanks for the tip, as well as the link. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 23:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
::Just to piggyback on a related topic, please don't leave HTML comments like [[Special:Diff/2428778|this]] on talk pages (or any page). Something (''hidden'') like that is just completely pointless. Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:12, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:12, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

:If you're talking about that box thing, I did use it, but then I thought "it must just be showing me the change I added" for some reason, as in it would vanish upon posting. Turned out not to be the case.

:Although I do admit I sometimes forget to use it, that wasn't the case this time. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 01:28, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
::Yeah, I posted this in part because you've expressed similar surprise at your own edit a few times in the past already. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:50, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
:::Just to clear up any possible confusion, since I've seen you make this assumption at least once before: what you see when you click "Show preview" is ''exactly'' how it will look when you save the page. There may be a few small exceptions (eg. signature timestamp), but a preview should never specifically indicate what you've changed.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 02:43, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Hey, I've noticed that you mainly edit the trivia sections, while there's nothing wrong with that, it's best not to spend all your time on the trivia section and contribute to the mainspace. I've also noted that a majority of your trivia have either been reverted or reworded because they we're either vague or too specific, so I think you should take a step back and decrease your edits t the trivia section. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:57, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
:TBH, thinking of trivia is what I enjoy the most for some reason, plus I usually can't think of anything else to do here. And I've never been good at Language Arts, so writing an entire article is out of the question for me. :/ What else is there for me to do? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 04:17, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
::{{bp|Editor's Hub}} is a good place to start. It doesn't have to be a large scale edit, it can be something minor like a spelling/grammar fix. You're on a wiki, you can't say there's nothing to edit :P--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:46, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
:::Technically, I didn't. :p One thing, how long exactly before I'm allowed to do trivia again? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 05:51, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
::::Didn't say you couldn't, just to slow down on the trivia edits and not focus solely on the trivia.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:11, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
::::::Oh. Okay, I guess I could try it. Thanks. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 06:22, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Just a reminder that this is still a thing, you are still editing the trivia far too much. Please try to edit anything but the trivia section, I've already linked you to the {{bp|Editor's Hub}}.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:54, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
:Once again, please take a step back from the trivia sections. There are more constructive edits you could be making instead. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 05:04, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
*moves to bottom because I almost didn't notice your message, and apparently missed the last one from Force Fire*
::*sighs* Sorry, for some reason I thought I've been doing better. I just want to ask, m I at least allowed to delete or correct some inaccurate facts? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 05:28, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
:::So long as that's not the only thing you're doing, that's fine. Try to limit yourself to one or two edits in the trivia section a day. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 06:56, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
::::Okay. But I don't quite understand, why exactly I need to edit something else in the page if someone else's error is in the trivia? Thanks and good night. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 07:04, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

== Serebii as a source ==

So I noticed on {{u|Tiddlywinks}}' talk page, they didn't specifically answer your question about why Serebii is unacceptable as a source, so I thought I'd answer it here to clear up any confusion. The webmaster of Serebii has specifically asked us not to use any material that appears on his site, so we aren't allowed to do so. I haven't heard of any other sites restricting us like htat, so as far as I know, pretty much any other well-known, generally reputable Pokemon site is typically acceptable as a source for most things. :) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:43, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
:Really? I wonder why he doesn't want it. Anyway, thanks for telling me this. ^_^ [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 05:00, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
::Uh... not sure where you got that from Pumpkinking, that's not true. Serebii is not a reliable source because it is a fansite and fansites in general aren't reliable sources.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkS2E8FCw >___>] Which is it guys? {{unsigned|Unowninator}}
:::I distinctly remember that being the reason commonly cited in edit summaries and on talk pages back around the time X and Y were initially released. Maybe I misunderstood at the time and that was just a time-specific reason, and the fan site thing is a broader reason. Sorry if I was mistaken. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:13, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

== Exp. All ==

I just wanted to explain more here since an edit summary doesn't really allow much room for explanation.

My problem basically boils down to, I just don't think it's something that should necessarily be expected from the description. I think if the experience ''were'' affected if you had multiple of the item, that might be notable. But this is a glitch, and not necessarily doing anything surprising. It's just not needed.

(Also, FWIW, even Key Items have the "Toss" option in Gen I. That said, Exp. All isn't a Key Item, because you ''can'' toss it, whereas you can't for something like the Super Rod.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:29, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

:Okay, fair enough. Sorry about the undoing. I didn't realize there was more to it. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 02:08, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

== Shaymin trivia ==

Quick question about the trivia you added to [[Shaymin (Pokémon)#Trivia|Shaymin]]'s page - is the second berry in the trivia point supposed to be [[Rawst Berry]] or [[Aspear Berry]]? I notice the point appears to be about freezing, but Rawst Berry doesn't cure freezing.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 18:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
:Whoops. Sorry about that. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 19:28, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

== cerulean city ==

you're right but isn't that going out of your way? if u play the game "normally" you gotta get dig first.--[[User:EternalDragonX|EternalDragonX]] ([[User talk:EternalDragonX|talk]]) 22:22, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
:Well for Speed purposes, no; it let me skip visiting Bill so didn't have to get the S.S Ticket, which means more space for my bag & PC for TMs & other stuff worth duplicating. But if trading doesn't count, then you're right; Dig can't be skipped. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 22:30, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
::oh are you playing red? I'm playing fire red and u gotta get the ss ticket first to advance past cerulean. I feel like trading is going out of your way because you can't get cut till vermilion which is where the game expects you to be able to get it.--[[User:EternalDragonX|EternalDragonX]] ([[User talk:EternalDragonX|talk]]) 22:38, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
Yes, I'm playing the games on the VC, actually. And just so we're clear, why exactly can't you use Cut if traded? Because you only need to beat Misty to use Cut; once you do that, just trade a Pokemon and you can skip both Dig and the S.S. Anne. I don't remember the scenario for FR/LG. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 23:07, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
:i didnt say you couldn't use cut if traded, i meant that you can't get cut the hm till vermillion which is when the game expects you to get cut. The game does not expect you to trade to get all the HMs and skip stuff. so if you play the game "normally" and do what your expected to do, which i believe is what most people would do, then you have to get the tm first, then the bike.--[[User:EternalDragonX|EternalDragonX]] ([[User talk:EternalDragonX|talk]]) 23:23, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
::Very well, if you want to undo my edit, go right ahead. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 23:30, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

Just a reminder to link with {{bp|link templates}} when applicable, eg. <code><nowiki>{{m|After You}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[After You]]</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{a|Normalize}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[Normalize]]</nowiki></code>, etc. I notice that you do use these most of the time, just keep it up and don't forget!

Additionally, when linking to games, please remember to use {{template|game}} for pre-Generation VI core series games instead of {{template|g}} to avoid linking to redirects, and that you don't need to use the "s" parameter with {{template|g}}. Thank you.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 02:57, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

:So the correct uh, "words" are <nowiki>{{game|Red and Green|s}}, and {{g|X and Y}}</nowiki>? BTW, why does it matter if it's a redirect or not? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 04:10, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
::Because we want you to link to the actual articles, not something that redirects you to the article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:32, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

== Golbat Gen I Learnset ==

So, I caught a two Golbats in Pokemon Yellow (the original Gameboy version, not the VC), one level 39 and the other level 44. The Level 39 Golbat had the moveset of Bite, Supersonic, Confuse Ray and Wing Attack (in that order), while the level 44 Golbat had the moveset of Supersonic, Confuse Ray, Wing Attack and Haze. Our list is correct, the game appears to think that Golbat learns Bite before Supersonic, we're looking into it to investigate further.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:10, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
:Okay, so it looks like the game skips Bite when generating a level 43+ Golbat's moveset as it is a starting move. Basically, it generates the starting moves (Leech Life, Screech, and Bite) then changes it according to its level and its most four most recent moves. So it gives it Supersonic, filling the fourth slot, skips Bite since it already "knows it" and replaces Leech Life, Screech, and Bite with Confuse Ray, Wing Attack, and Haze. Hope that's clear.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:25, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
::Wow that's weird. Does it happen to any other Pokemon? Thanks. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 15:08, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
:::It's how the game makes movesets for a wild Pokemon, so yes, it goes for every other Pokemon.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:19, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

== Talk page chronology ==
Please keep all talk page sections in chronological order as according to the date of the first message. Don't move the whole discussion to the bottom because you missed a couple of messages. The reason why I didn't make a new section was because the section was already there and felt the time difference between the last message and my new message wasn't long enough to warrant a new section.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:00, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
:Very well. I thought it would be okay here since the page is technically mine. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:08, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
::Well, yes, it is. But it gets confusing to see a discussion starting on April 17th below a discussion that started on April 24th, so it's best to keep thing in chronological order--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:12, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
:::Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for telling me. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:13, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VIIIIIII]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014 with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mostly the same as Ruby and Sapphire with a few changes.

The player starts their journey in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved in from the [[Johto]] region after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the moving van, which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the van, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets their [[Rival|pseudo-rival]] (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, he/she soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds their pseudo-rival on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some [[Poké Ball]]s. When leaving through the Route 101, the player runs into the pseudo-rival who gives him/her a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him/her how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, they meet with their father at the Gym, where he tells them that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman to help him catch a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the nine [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader.

At the [[Rustboro Gym]], the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the {{key|IV|Devon Goods}} back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. The player heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but the room where Steven is blocked by curious Hikers. They are gone by the time the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]]. The player finds Steven in the Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that he/she could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling the pseudo-rival, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. At the end of Route 114 is [[Meteor Falls]], inside which the player finds Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}. This time, they have stolen a valuable {{key|IV|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly, the scene is interrupted by the appearance of the opposite-version's team, which causes the thieves to retreat to [[Mt. Chimney]] with the stolen meteorite. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting over the meteorite; after fighting an admin of the primary evil team, [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, lets the player take and keep the meteorite, and retreats.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player is given the [[Go-Goggles]] by their pseudo-rival, who then suggests that the player challenge their father at the Petalburg Gym. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven realizes the legendary Pokémon is asking for help, and it takes both Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]] where the evil team admin [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} is terrorizing Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}. After fighting off the evil team, Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} decides to join the player's team and give him/her its Mega Stone. Steven awards the player with a Mega Bracelet and Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}} takes both of them back to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of more information on Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling the grunts, the player comes face to face with the admin [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who appears distressed with what he/she found out. After besting the admin, the player saves the institute and is given a Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, the pseudo-rival appears and battles the player, and they give away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]] but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the {{key|IV|Devon Scope}}, a Mega Stone and notices that the meteorite the player picked up from Mt Chimney emits light. The Devon Scope allows the player to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles his/her pseudo-rival again. After the battle, the pseudo-rival notices the meteorite shining in the player's bag, just like Steven did before.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}{{sup/6|AS}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him; the team then heads for Slateport City. The old couple that watch over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Once the player fights their way through to the center of the hideout, finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, they encounter an admin Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]], where he/she challenges Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. After this a pillar of light appears on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. Steven notices the player coming out of the Gym and invites him/her to his house, where he gives him/her the {{HM|07|Dive}} and the Devon Scuba Gear. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player has a showdown with the team leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After the battle, the player witnesses [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} arriving and trying to warn their leader against waking up the legendary Pokémon, but the leader dismisses the warnings and uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon breaks out of the cavern and starts moving towards [[Sootopolis City]], its power driving the weather all over Hoenn out of control. The leader realizes that he can't control the Pokémon's power at all; just then, the leader of the opposite team appears, and the two bosses team up to try to stop the rampage.

After the bosses leave, Steven appears and tells the player to catch up with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Sootopolis City]]. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]].

Upon arriving in front of the cave's entrance, Steven, Wallace and the player meet up with the leaders and admins of both teams, as well as the pseudo-rival. The player receives the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} and is told that the Orb he/she possesses has the power to weaken the ancient Pokémon. After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. He/she puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion. The player witnesses it undergo the transformation and fights it. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather (seemingly) returns to normal, and the world is saved. Steven gives the player the Eon Flute and leaves.

After defeating [[Wallace]] at the [[Sootopolis Gym]], the latter gives out the final badge, {{Badge|Rain}}, and mentions that Prof Birch has something for him/her. Returning to Littleroot Town, the player is told that the recent events did change the climate in the Hoenn region, causing the Pokémon species that once left Hoenn to come back, and the regional Pokédex is not sufficient anymore, and gets the National Pokédex upgrade. The player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the Elite Four await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have proven themselves by collecting the eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and [[Drake]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and the pseudo-rival arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll as the player and the pseudo-rival return home. Back on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, the pseudo-rival becomes nostalgic and challenges the player one last time.

Returning home, the player overhears his/her parents discussing their plans to go see the [[Litleonids]] at [[Mossdeep City]], that [[Norman]] now has to cancel. As the parents ponder about what they can do with the tickets they bought, a mysterious symbol appears on screen, which then fades into a "To be continued" chyron.

Upon loading the saved game, the story continues with the [[Delta Episode]].

After completing the Delta Episode, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}} to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the [[Battle Resort]].

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
* Stereoscopic 3D is incorporated, and in the same manner as in X and Y.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.
* [[Time]] flowing from day to night as it was since being reintroduced within [[Generation IV]].
* The addition of Trainers with the {{tc|Backpacker}}, {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}}, {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}, {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}, and {{tc|Ace Duo}} Trainer classes.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and [[Mirage spot]]s found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===
====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat being more obvious, while May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs; Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been replaced by [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the long grass section in each area.
* A few new areas are added to {{ho|Victory Road}} that did not exist in Generation III. This also includes an area to where the player can face [[Wally]] instead of the main area of 1F where Wally was encountered in Generation III.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* [[Mirage spot]]s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty condition has been renamed to {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and Smart has been renamed to {{OBP|Clever|condition}}.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their [[Contest condition|condition stats]] maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after the Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]].
* Trainers that turn in place can now spot the player when they are turning if the player is directly north, south, east, or west of the Trainer.
*[[Mr. Briney]]'s boat is now capable of traveling between {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|109|Hoenn}} without having to stop at [[Dewford Town]] first. Additionally if the player travels through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to reach the other side, Mr. Briney would be found at that location allowing the player to use his boat without having to backtrack to the previous location.
**Because of the change on how the boat operates, {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} will not be counted as seen until the player returns there later after acquiring {{m|Surf}}.

=====Story=====
* Many characters' roles in the story are significantly elaborated upon, most notably Steven, Wallace, Team Aqua & Team Magma, and Wally.
** {{Steven}}'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Team Aqua & Team Magma's goals are slightly different: Team Aqua wishes to revert the Earth to its prehistoric state in order to restore the Pokémon habitats lost to human advancement, while Team Magma wishes to provide humanity with more habitable land as a means of accelerating human innovation.
** In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed, as revealed after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating [[Brawly]], as a line of NPCs will block the path.
* Relating to Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}:
** Team Magma/Aqua now steals the [[colored orb|Red/Blue Orb]] instead of the opposite one, to align with the new [[Primal Reversion]] mechanic and its place in the plot.
** [[Tabitha]] is now the Team Magma counterpart to Team Aqua's [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} is {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}'s counterpart, instead of the Admins of the same sex being counterparts.
** Instead of Team Magma/Aqua leaving [[Meteor Falls]] once they are found, Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}} or Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} and a Grunt instead challenge the player to a [[Multi Battle]] with {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}.
** The motivation behind Team Magma/Aqua's visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] is changed.
** During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader can escape.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a brief side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]].
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}} or Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The [[New Mauville]] sidequest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon or Kyogre event.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the [[Delta Episode]]. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role in this quest.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly in the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this, it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}} (though he does give the player {{TM|23|Smack Down}} for helping him at Meteor Falls). TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]].
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven to correct the situation, including a Multi Battle at the end.
*** Unlike the Multi Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} are Courtney and a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, instead of [[Maxie]] and Tabitha.
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The optional sidequest where the player accompanies the team leaders returning the orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the team leaders apologizing for their actions has been omitted. They instead apologize at [[Sootopolis City]] when they give the player the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be found outside their Gyms interacting with the world after the player has beaten the game.
* The battle against May or Brendan as the players' rival at [[Lilycove City]] is no longer optional.
* Brendan/May challenges the player to one final battle at {{rt|103|Hoenn}} immediately following the credits.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
** The Roselia of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Lydia from {{rt|117|Hoenn}} is now a Budew even before she is rematched.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* In Generation III the female administrators of Team Magma/Team Aqua, Courtney/Shelly were fought in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] before facing the team leader. This has been omitted in Generation VI, and as a result the player does not face against any administrators in this location.
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Trainers within the {{ho|Victory Road}} now have Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] on their teams instead of just using Pokémon native to Hoenn.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* [[Wally]]'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* Wally is given an exclusive battle theme, a rock remix of his leitmotif, rather than using the standard trainer battle theme.
* Archie's {{p|Sharpedo}}, Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}}, and Steven's {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild. The Pokémon in the {{safari|Hoenn}} have also changed significantly.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime or in the tiles adjacent to the lone rock in the river's southernmost curve (slightly north of the large field of long grass) during the nighttime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* {{p|Deoxys}} is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode, making this the first time where a [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]] has been legitimately available without the use of promotional events. It can also change its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallarbor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* {{Shiny}} variants of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys are now impossible to encounter in the wild; they can still be legitimately obtained if they are caught in Generations III or IV and transferred to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
* The [[catch rate]]s of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] are altered:
** The catch rates of Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, and Zekrom were reduced to 3.
** The catch rate of Rayquaza was raised from 3 to 45.
* {{p|Spiritomb}} may be encountered through a special method in [[Sea Mauville]].
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} in his lab upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first entering the Hall of Fame.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the player enters the Hall of Fame once more.
* Upon defeating or capturing {{p|Kyogre}}/{{p|Groudon}}, many Pokémon not available in [[Generation III]] become available as [[hidden Pokémon]].
* After defeating or capturing Kyogre/Groudon, the elderly woman in [[Lavaridge Town]] who the player could receive a {{p|Wynaut}} egg from now gives out a second Pokémon egg which contains a {{p|Togepi}}.

==Compatibility==
Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. They are mostly compatible with {{g|X and Y}}, with the exception of alternate forms, Mega Evolutions, moves, or Abilities introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which cannot be traded to or used in battle with X and Y.

==Beta elements==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire beta}}

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40, scoring two points fewer than X and Y and three points more than Ruby and Sapphire.

Within the first three days of release for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, over 3 million copies were sold in Japan, North America, and Australia.<ref>[http://myinforms.com/en-us/a/8093870-pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire-sell-3-million/ Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Sell 3 Million]</ref> Later when released in Europe, it came in at numbers 6 and 7 of the top ten video game sales chart for that week, also earning enough sales from both games into becoming the current candidate for the largest game launch of the Pokémon series in the region, beating out {{game|Black and White|s}}, which previously held this record.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-01-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-uks-biggest-pokemon-launch-ever Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire UK's biggest Pokémon launch ever]</ref> In the fiscal year of their release, they sold 9.94 million units.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2015/150507e.pdf Consolidated Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2014 and 2015]</ref>

IGN rated the games an "Good" 7.8/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/18/pokemon-alpha-sapphire-and-omega-ruby-review</ref>, 1.2 points fewer than Pokémon X and Y, criticizing the excessive amount of water and [[HM]]s. This reasoning was {{n|Gotta Meme 'em All: 7.8/10 Too Much Water|quickly mocked by fans}} due to these issues' presence in the original games apparently being overlooked. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hold a rating of 83.79%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792673-pokemon-omega-ruby/index.html</ref> and 82.73%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792672-pokemon-alpha-sapphire/index.html</ref>, respectively, on {{wp|Game Rankings}}.

==Trailers==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer}}
*A promotional trailer was made to promote Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The trailer was broadcasted in Japan on November 16, 2014, later being released on the Japanese ''Pokémon'' {{wp|YouTube}} Channel the same day, and on the English ''Pokémon'' YouTube Channel on November 20, 2014.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* These are the only pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** The games's names are not written as {{wp|Compound (linguistics)|compound words}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were introduced after the original games are possible. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}} cannot evolve because there is no [[time]] of day clock, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}} cannot evolve because none of those areas are in those games.
** Pokémon from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the original games}} can be transferred to the remakes.
** An accessory is not bundled with the games.
** The game does not include any HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games.
** No new protagonists are introduced.
** The Pokédex entries of certain Pokémon were changed entirely from the original games.
** Nearly all Pokémon recycle their [[Pokédex]] descriptions from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|previous]] [[Pokémon X and Y|entries]] instead of receiving new ones or, in the case of post-Generation III Pokémon, ones from a previous generation.
*** The games combined have only eight new Pokédex entries for four Pokémon ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}), the fewest out of any core series game. All other Pokémon use entries from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, X, or Y, with some entries receiving minor alterations.
** The in-game appearances of obtainable Pokémon are recycled from the generation's main pair of games.
** New held items and moves were introduced that were not in the generation's main pair of games.
** The TM list is slightly different than the generation's main pair of games. (While HeartGold and SoulSilver did alter the HM list as to make {{m|Whirlpool}} an HM again, its list of TMs was otherwise untouched from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.)
** Not all of the artwork for the Pokémon introduced in the games being remade was renewed.
* These Pokémon games currently offer the greatest number of unique in-game:
** [[Starter Pokémon]], with four (1 from Hoenn, 1 from [[Johto]], 1 from [[Sinnoh]], and 1 from [[Unova]]), exceeding the three offered in numerous games before. This excludes the [[Friend Safari]], where the player can potentially obtain all 6 [[Kanto]] and [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon.
** [[Legendary Pokémon]] with a total of 32 between both games.
* Alpha Sapphire has the longest name using fourteen characters including spaces.
* The combined and shortened name of these games ("ORAS") is Lithuanian for the word "weather", which is the main concept of [[Generation III]] games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire both feature the game's corresponding colored orb.
* This is the first pair of remakes where {{p|Eevee}} can evolve into all of its [[Eeveelutions]].

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

The kids have stopped at a lakeside camp site on their way to Fortree City. Ash trips and drops his badge case into the lake, where it is eaten up by a giant Whiscash. Ash dives in after the Pokémon but gets caught in some reeds instead.

Ash is pulled out of the water by a fisherman named Sullivan, who calls himself "Legend." He tells them that he has been trying to catch the giant Whiscash for years and its name is Nero. The kids decide to help "Legend" catch Nero.

"Legend" shows them how to fish, but all of them are unsuccessful. On the other side of the lake Team Rocket is also fishing, but not having much luck.

Eventually Ash snags Nero and manages to pull the giant Whiscash out of the water. Before he can get his badges back, Team Rocket scoops Nero up in a net and flies away in their balloon. Ash's Grovyle uses Bullet Seed to send the balloon crashing down, and a battle begins. Whiscash uses Earthquake on Team Rocket, and then Pikachu sends them blasting off with Thunder.

"Legend" tries to catch Nero using his own Pokémon, but eventually he just pulls out a Master Ball and throws it—which Nero gobbles up, and then swims away.

==Plot==
While resting by a lake, {{Ash}} decides to polish his [[Badge]] Case and remembers all the [[Gym]] Battles he’s so far had in [[Hoenn]], when suddenly a larger than normal {{p|Whiscash}}, a {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, jumps out of the water and eats the case. Ash calls out {{AP|Corphish}}, which is promptly defeated by the giant Whiscash. Determined to get his hard-earned Badges back, Ash dives in but nearly drowns when he is saved by a self-proclaimed fishing god, [[Sullivan]]. Sullivan has spent years trying to catch the giant Whiscash and regards himself as a fishing legend and god (even though he, in fifty years, has never actually caught the Whiscash, who he has named Nero). [[Max]] accidentally insults Sullivan by asking why he hasn't caught Whiscash yet, but Ash and {{ashfr}} restore Sullivan's spirits by calling him a legend.

Determined to retrieve the Badges, Ash and the others start fishing, with Sullivan offering them various fishing rods and lures. Meanwhile {{TRT}} are also trying to get a hold of the same Whiscash (figuring if they capture it, they will get both a new Pokémon and a bunch of Badges). While {{TRT}} actually spots the elusive Whiscash, Ash, Sullivan and company start fishing. While Ash and the others are not successful at catching anything, Sullivan gets a nibble from a Pokémon every few seconds, but none are Whiscash, so he tosses them all back. Ash asks Sullivan to teach them the secret to fishing, and Sullivan begins to teach them the "art of angling". Max again accidentally insults Sullivan by telling him his first lesson—fish where there are water Pokémon, is obvious, but everyone again calls Sullivan a legend to cheer him up. When Sullivan shows them how to cast the line properly, Max casts perfectly on the first try, again insulting Sullivan, who has spent decades perfecting his technique. Max gets a nibble from this cast—and a Whiscash, though not Nero, surfaces. However, Nero does appear right next to the hooked Pokémon, and taunts Ash by showing him the Badge case before disappearing.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is fishing using James' bottle cap collection as lures. Things take a turn for the crazier when a hooked {{p|Feebas}} bites onto Jessie’s hair, which Jessie flicks off. This gives Meowth an idea, because in the next scene he's suggested Team Rocket fish using Jessie's hair as a rod and lure! Another Feebas bites onto Jessie's hair yet again. Meanwhile, Sullivan proclaims he can sense Nero nearby and casts his line—but hooks only a {{p|Magikarp}}. However, Ash does manage to hook Nero, who takes the would-be anglers and their small boat on a ride towards a pile of rocks! Ash calls out {{AP|Corphish}} and orders it to use {{m|Crabhammer}} on him—which sends Ash flying onto the rocks and putting the boat out of danger. The momentum allows Ash to pull Nero out of the water. Ash calls out {{AP|Grovyle}}, and attacks Nero, but the giant Pokémon simply laughs at Ash. However, it's Team Rocket that seem to have the last laugh—they net Nero the Whiscash from the middle of the battle. Team Rocket quickly escaped using their enhanced balloon. Brock calls out {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} and {{TP|Brock|Lombre}} and orders both to use {{m|Water Gun}}, and Ash orders Grovyle to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Team Rocket is unable to outrun the attacks due to Nero's enormous weight, and the Bullet Seed brings down the balloon. Team Rocket call out their Pokémon for a battle (which Ash combats with Pikachu and Grovyle). Whiscash escapes from its net and uses {{m|Earthquake}}, and Pikachu sends Team Rocket blasting off with {{m|Thunder}}. The smoke from the blast-off causes Whiscash to cough, bringing up Ash's Badge case and Badges.

Sullivan then challenges Nero to a battle, sending out Hannah, his {{P|Flaaffy}}. Using Flaaffy's {{m|DynamicPunch}} and {{m|Iron Tail}} while dodging Nero's attacks, Sullivan weakens Nero, then orders Hannah to use {{m|ThunderShock}}. Unfortunately, Whiscash are part Ground-type, and the attack has no effect. Sullivan then proclaims that he has a plan to capture Nero, and draws a [[Master Ball]] out of his cloak (which Ash and friends recognize with a gasp), a rare and powerful Poké Ball capable of capturing any Pokémon! Sullivan declares that it has taken 50 years just to get a Master Ball, and he throws the powerful ball, which Nero eats. Everyone gasps, and Sullivan yells at Nero exasperatedly (a Master Ball did just fail, after all). Nero jumps back into the water, and Sullivan declares that "Tomorrow's another day!" Ash and company cheer up Sullivan by calling him a legend again, before Ash and company bid Sullivan a cheery farewell.

Nero apparently didn't actually eat the Master Ball but swallowed it, and is shown to be happily balancing its new toy on the tip of its tongue.

* This is the first and, so far, only time where the [[Master Ball]] has been used in the anime.
* Whiscash swallows Sullivan's Master Ball, and is not captured. However, in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'', a wild {{TP|May|Munchlax}} swallows a [[Poké Ball]] and is captured from the inside out.
* This is the second time the main characters are seen fishing in [[Hoenn]]. Oddly, Sullivan has to teach Ash and company to fish, even though Ash and Brock have fished several times before and all present protagonists fished in ''[[AG023|Gone Corphishin']]''.
* This would be the last time the move {{m|Earthquake}} was used in the anime. The move itself would later cause [[AG101 (unaired)|an episode]] to be banned because of {{wp|2004 Chūetsu earthquake|a real earthquake}}. Earthquake has not been used or seen since.
** Coincidentally, that episode too would feature a [[Whiscash]].

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
* The Poké Ball outline on Ash's Badge case is changed to a rectangle in the dub once again.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Which of these Pokémon evolve into {{p|Vigoroth}}?
* Choices: {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Slakoth}}, {{p|Zangoose}}
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Slakoth}}, you were right!

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

The kids have stopped at a lakeside camp site on their way to Fortree City. Ash trips and drops his badge case into the lake, where it is eaten up by a giant Whiscash. Ash dives in after the Pokémon but gets caught in some reeds instead.

Ash is pulled out of the water by a fisherman named Sullivan, who calls himself "Legend." He tells them that he has been trying to catch the giant Whiscash for years and its name is Nero. The kids decide to help "Legend" catch Nero.

"Legend" shows them how to fish, but all of them are unsuccessful. On the other side of the lake Team Rocket is also fishing, but not having much luck.

Eventually Ash snags Nero and manages to pull the giant Whiscash out of the water. Before he can get his badges back, Team Rocket scoops Nero up in a net and flies away in their balloon. Ash's Grovyle uses Bullet Seed to send the balloon crashing down, and a battle begins. Whiscash uses Earthquake on Team Rocket, and then Pikachu sends them blasting off with Thunder.

"Legend" tries to catch Nero using his own Pokémon, but eventually he just pulls out a Master Ball and throws it—which Nero gobbles up, and then swims away.

==Plot==
While resting by a lake, {{Ash}} decides to polish his [[Badge]] Case and remembers all the [[Gym]] Battles he’s so far had in [[Hoenn]], when suddenly a larger than normal {{p|Whiscash}}, a {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, jumps out of the water and eats the case. Ash calls out {{AP|Corphish}}, which is promptly defeated by the giant Whiscash. Determined to get his hard-earned Badges back, Ash dives in but nearly drowns when he is saved by a self-proclaimed fishing god, [[Sullivan]]. Sullivan has spent years trying to catch the giant Whiscash and regards himself as a fishing legend and god (even though he, in fifty years, has never actually caught the Whiscash, who he has named Nero). [[Max]] accidentally insults Sullivan by asking why he hasn't caught Whiscash yet, but Ash and {{ashfr}} restore Sullivan's spirits by calling him a legend.

Determined to retrieve the Badges, Ash and the others start fishing, with Sullivan offering them various fishing rods and lures. Meanwhile {{TRT}} are also trying to get a hold of the same Whiscash (figuring if they capture it, they will get both a new Pokémon and a bunch of Badges). While {{TRT}} actually spots the elusive Whiscash, Ash, Sullivan and company start fishing. While Ash and the others are not successful at catching anything, Sullivan gets a nibble from a Pokémon every few seconds, but none are Whiscash, so he tosses them all back. Ash asks Sullivan to teach them the secret to fishing, and Sullivan begins to teach them the "art of angling". Max again accidentally insults Sullivan by telling him his first lesson—fish where there are water Pokémon, is obvious, but everyone again calls Sullivan a legend to cheer him up. When Sullivan shows them how to cast the line properly, Max casts perfectly on the first try, again insulting Sullivan, who has spent decades perfecting his technique. Max gets a nibble from this cast—and a Whiscash, though not Nero, surfaces. However, Nero does appear right next to the hooked Pokémon, and taunts Ash by showing him the Badge case before disappearing.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is fishing using James' bottle cap collection as lures. Things take a turn for the crazier when a hooked {{p|Feebas}} bites onto Jessie’s hair, which Jessie flicks off. This gives Meowth an idea, because in the next scene he's suggested Team Rocket fish using Jessie's hair as a rod and lure! Another Feebas bites onto Jessie's hair yet again. Meanwhile, Sullivan proclaims he can sense Nero nearby and casts his line—but hooks only a {{p|Magikarp}}. However, Ash does manage to hook Nero, who takes the would-be anglers and their small boat on a ride towards a pile of rocks! Ash calls out {{AP|Corphish}} and orders it to use {{m|Crabhammer}} on him—which sends Ash flying onto the rocks and putting the boat out of danger. The momentum allows Ash to pull Nero out of the water. Ash calls out {{AP|Grovyle}}, and attacks Nero, but the giant Pokémon simply laughs at Ash. However, it's Team Rocket that seem to have the last laugh—they net Nero the Whiscash from the middle of the battle. Team Rocket quickly escaped using their enhanced balloon. Brock calls out {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} and {{TP|Brock|Lombre}} and orders both to use {{m|Water Gun}}, and Ash orders Grovyle to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Team Rocket is unable to outrun the attacks due to Nero's enormous weight, and the Bullet Seed brings down the balloon. Team Rocket call out their Pokémon for a battle (which Ash combats with Pikachu and Grovyle). Whiscash escapes from its net and uses {{m|Earthquake}}, and Pikachu sends Team Rocket blasting off with {{m|Thunder}}. The smoke from the blast-off causes Whiscash to cough, bringing up Ash's Badge case and Badges.

Sullivan then challenges Nero to a battle, sending out Hannah, his {{P|Flaaffy}}. Using Flaaffy's {{m|DynamicPunch}} and {{m|Iron Tail}} while dodging Nero's attacks, Sullivan weakens Nero, then orders Hannah to use {{m|ThunderShock}}. Unfortunately, Whiscash are part Ground-type, and the attack has no effect. Sullivan then proclaims that he has a plan to capture Nero, and draws a [[Master Ball]] out of his cloak (which Ash and friends recognize with a gasp), a rare and powerful Poké Ball capable of capturing any Pokémon! Sullivan declares that it has taken 50 years just to get a Master Ball, and he throws the powerful ball, which Nero eats. Everyone gasps, and Sullivan yells at Nero exasperatedly (a Master Ball did just fail, after all). Nero jumps back into the water, and Sullivan declares that "Tomorrow's another day!" Ash and company cheer up Sullivan by calling him a legend again, before Ash and company bid Sullivan a cheery farewell.

Nero apparently didn't actually eat the Master Ball but swallowed it, and is shown to be happily balancing its new toy on the tip of its tongue.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VIIIIIII]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014 with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mostly the same as Ruby and Sapphire with a few changes.

The player starts their journey in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved in from the [[Johto]] region after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the moving van, which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the van, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets their [[Rival|pseudo-rival]] (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, he/she soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds their pseudo-rival on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some [[Poké Ball]]s. When leaving through the Route 101, the player runs into the pseudo-rival who gives him/her a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him/her how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, they meet with their father at the Gym, where he tells them that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman to help him catch a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the nine [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader.

At the [[Rustboro Gym]], the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the {{key|IV|Devon Goods}} back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. The player heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but the room where Steven is blocked by curious Hikers. They are gone by the time the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]]. The player finds Steven in the Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that he/she could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling the pseudo-rival, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. At the end of Route 114 is [[Meteor Falls]], inside which the player finds Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}. This time, they have stolen a valuable {{key|IV|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly, the scene is interrupted by the appearance of the opposite-version's team, which causes the thieves to retreat to [[Mt. Chimney]] with the stolen meteorite. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting over the meteorite; after fighting an admin of the primary evil team, [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, lets the player take and keep the meteorite, and retreats.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player is given the [[Go-Goggles]] by their pseudo-rival, who then suggests that the player challenge their father at the Petalburg Gym. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven realizes the legendary Pokémon is asking for help, and it takes both Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]] where the evil team admin [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} is terrorizing Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}. After fighting off the evil team, Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} decides to join the player's team and give him/her its Mega Stone. Steven awards the player with a Mega Bracelet and Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}} takes both of them back to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of more information on Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling the grunts, the player comes face to face with the admin [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who appears distressed with what he/she found out. After besting the admin, the player saves the institute and is given a Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, the pseudo-rival appears and battles the player, and they give away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]] but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the {{key|IV|Devon Scope}}, a Mega Stone and notices that the meteorite the player picked up from Mt Chimney emits light. The Devon Scope allows the player to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles his/her pseudo-rival again. After the battle, the pseudo-rival notices the meteorite shining in the player's bag, just like Steven did before.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}{{sup/6|AS}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him; the team then heads for Slateport City. The old couple that watch over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Once the player fights their way through to the center of the hideout, finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, they encounter an admin Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]], where he/she challenges Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. After this a pillar of light appears on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. Steven notices the player coming out of the Gym and invites him/her to his house, where he gives him/her the {{HM|07|Dive}} and the Devon Scuba Gear. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player has a showdown with the team leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After the battle, the player witnesses [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} arriving and trying to warn their leader against waking up the legendary Pokémon, but the leader dismisses the warnings and uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon breaks out of the cavern and starts moving towards [[Sootopolis City]], its power driving the weather all over Hoenn out of control. The leader realizes that he can't control the Pokémon's power at all; just then, the leader of the opposite team appears, and the two bosses team up to try to stop the rampage.

After the bosses leave, Steven appears and tells the player to catch up with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Sootopolis City]]. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]].

Upon arriving in front of the cave's entrance, Steven, Wallace and the player meet up with the leaders and admins of both teams, as well as the pseudo-rival. The player receives the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} and is told that the Orb he/she possesses has the power to weaken the ancient Pokémon. After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. He/she puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion. The player witnesses it undergo the transformation and fights it. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather (seemingly) returns to normal, and the world is saved. Steven gives the player the Eon Flute and leaves.

After defeating [[Wallace]] at the [[Sootopolis Gym]], the latter gives out the final badge, {{Badge|Rain}}, and mentions that Prof Birch has something for him/her. Returning to Littleroot Town, the player is told that the recent events did change the climate in the Hoenn region, causing the Pokémon species that once left Hoenn to come back, and the regional Pokédex is not sufficient anymore, and gets the National Pokédex upgrade. The player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the Elite Four await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have proven themselves by collecting the eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and [[Drake]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and the pseudo-rival arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll as the player and the pseudo-rival return home. Back on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, the pseudo-rival becomes nostalgic and challenges the player one last time.

Returning home, the player overhears his/her parents discussing their plans to go see the [[Litleonids]] at [[Mossdeep City]], that [[Norman]] now has to cancel. As the parents ponder about what they can do with the tickets they bought, a mysterious symbol appears on screen, which then fades into a "To be continued" chyron.

Upon loading the saved game, the story continues with the [[Delta Episode]].

After completing the Delta Episode, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}} to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the [[Battle Resort]].

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
* Stereoscopic 3D is incorporated, and in the same manner as in X and Y.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.
* [[Time]] flowing from day to night as it was since being reintroduced within [[Generation IV]].
* The addition of Trainers with the {{tc|Backpacker}}, {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}}, {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}, {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}, and {{tc|Ace Duo}} Trainer classes.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and [[Mirage spot]]s found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===
====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat being more obvious, while May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs; Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been replaced by [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the long grass section in each area.
* A few new areas are added to {{ho|Victory Road}} that did not exist in Generation III. This also includes an area to where the player can face [[Wally]] instead of the main area of 1F where Wally was encountered in Generation III.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* [[Mirage spot]]s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty condition has been renamed to {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and Smart has been renamed to {{OBP|Clever|condition}}.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their [[Contest condition|condition stats]] maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after the Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]].
* Trainers that turn in place can now spot the player when they are turning if the player is directly north, south, east, or west of the Trainer.
*[[Mr. Briney]]'s boat is now capable of traveling between {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|109|Hoenn}} without having to stop at [[Dewford Town]] first. Additionally if the player travels through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to reach the other side, Mr. Briney would be found at that location allowing the player to use his boat without having to backtrack to the previous location.
**Because of the change on how the boat operates, {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} will not be counted as seen until the player returns there later after acquiring {{m|Surf}}.

=====Story=====
* Many characters' roles in the story are significantly elaborated upon, most notably Steven, Wallace, Team Aqua & Team Magma, and Wally.
** {{Steven}}'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Team Aqua & Team Magma's goals are slightly different: Team Aqua wishes to revert the Earth to its prehistoric state in order to restore the Pokémon habitats lost to human advancement, while Team Magma wishes to provide humanity with more habitable land as a means of accelerating human innovation.
** In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed, as revealed after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating [[Brawly]], as a line of NPCs will block the path.
* Relating to Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}:
** Team Magma/Aqua now steals the [[colored orb|Red/Blue Orb]] instead of the opposite one, to align with the new [[Primal Reversion]] mechanic and its place in the plot.
** [[Tabitha]] is now the Team Magma counterpart to Team Aqua's [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} is {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}'s counterpart, instead of the Admins of the same sex being counterparts.
** Instead of Team Magma/Aqua leaving [[Meteor Falls]] once they are found, Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}} or Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} and a Grunt instead challenge the player to a [[Multi Battle]] with {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}.
** The motivation behind Team Magma/Aqua's visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] is changed.
** During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader can escape.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a brief side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]].
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}} or Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The [[New Mauville]] sidequest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon or Kyogre event.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the [[Delta Episode]]. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role in this quest.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly in the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this, it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}} (though he does give the player {{TM|23|Smack Down}} for helping him at Meteor Falls). TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]].
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven to correct the situation, including a Multi Battle at the end.
*** Unlike the Multi Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} are Courtney and a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, instead of [[Maxie]] and Tabitha.
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The optional sidequest where the player accompanies the team leaders returning the orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the team leaders apologizing for their actions has been omitted. They instead apologize at [[Sootopolis City]] when they give the player the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be found outside their Gyms interacting with the world after the player has beaten the game.
* The battle against May or Brendan as the players' rival at [[Lilycove City]] is no longer optional.
* Brendan/May challenges the player to one final battle at {{rt|103|Hoenn}} immediately following the credits.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
** The Roselia of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Lydia from {{rt|117|Hoenn}} is now a Budew even before she is rematched.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* In Generation III the female administrators of Team Magma/Team Aqua, Courtney/Shelly were fought in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] before facing the team leader. This has been omitted in Generation VI, and as a result the player does not face against any administrators in this location.
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Trainers within the {{ho|Victory Road}} now have Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] on their teams instead of just using Pokémon native to Hoenn.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* [[Wally]]'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* Wally is given an exclusive battle theme, a rock remix of his leitmotif, rather than using the standard trainer battle theme.
* Archie's {{p|Sharpedo}}, Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}}, and Steven's {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild. The Pokémon in the {{safari|Hoenn}} have also changed significantly.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime or in the tiles adjacent to the lone rock in the river's southernmost curve (slightly north of the large field of long grass) during the nighttime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* {{p|Deoxys}} is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode, making this the first time where a [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]] has been legitimately available without the use of promotional events. It can also change its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallarbor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* {{Shiny}} variants of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys are now impossible to encounter in the wild; they can still be legitimately obtained if they are caught in Generations III or IV and transferred to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
* The [[catch rate]]s of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] are altered:
** The catch rates of Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, and Zekrom were reduced to 3.
** The catch rate of Rayquaza was raised from 3 to 45.
* {{p|Spiritomb}} may be encountered through a special method in [[Sea Mauville]].
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} in his lab upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first entering the Hall of Fame.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the player enters the Hall of Fame once more.
* Upon defeating or capturing {{p|Kyogre}}/{{p|Groudon}}, many Pokémon not available in [[Generation III]] become available as [[hidden Pokémon]].
* After defeating or capturing Kyogre/Groudon, the elderly woman in [[Lavaridge Town]] who the player could receive a {{p|Wynaut}} egg from now gives out a second Pokémon egg which contains a {{p|Togepi}}.

==Compatibility==
Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. They are mostly compatible with {{g|X and Y}}, with the exception of alternate forms, Mega Evolutions, moves, or Abilities introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which cannot be traded to or used in battle with X and Y.

==Beta elements==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire beta}}

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40, scoring two points fewer than X and Y and three points more than Ruby and Sapphire.

Within the first three days of release for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, over 3 million copies were sold in Japan, North America, and Australia.<ref>[http://myinforms.com/en-us/a/8093870-pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire-sell-3-million/ Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Sell 3 Million]</ref> Later when released in Europe, it came in at numbers 6 and 7 of the top ten video game sales chart for that week, also earning enough sales from both games into becoming the current candidate for the largest game launch of the Pokémon series in the region, beating out {{game|Black and White|s}}, which previously held this record.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-01-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-uks-biggest-pokemon-launch-ever Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire UK's biggest Pokémon launch ever]</ref> In the fiscal year of their release, they sold 9.94 million units.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2015/150507e.pdf Consolidated Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2014 and 2015]</ref>

IGN rated the games an "Good" 7.8/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/18/pokemon-alpha-sapphire-and-omega-ruby-review</ref>, 1.2 points fewer than Pokémon X and Y, criticizing the excessive amount of water and [[HM]]s. This reasoning was {{n|Gotta Meme 'em All: 7.8/10 Too Much Water|quickly mocked by fans}} due to these issues' presence in the original games apparently being overlooked. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hold a rating of 83.79%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792673-pokemon-omega-ruby/index.html</ref> and 82.73%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792672-pokemon-alpha-sapphire/index.html</ref>, respectively, on {{wp|Game Rankings}}.

==Trailers==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer}}
*A promotional trailer was made to promote Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The trailer was broadcasted in Japan on November 16, 2014, later being released on the Japanese ''Pokémon'' {{wp|YouTube}} Channel the same day, and on the English ''Pokémon'' YouTube Channel on November 20, 2014.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* These are the only pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** The games's names are not written as {{wp|Compound (linguistics)|compound words}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were introduced after the original games are possible. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}} cannot evolve because there is no [[time]] of day clock, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}} cannot evolve because none of those areas are in those games.
** Pokémon from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the original games}} can be transferred to the remakes.
** An accessory is not bundled with the games.
** The game does not include any HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games.
** No new protagonists are introduced.
** The Pokédex entries of certain Pokémon were changed entirely from the original games.
** Nearly all Pokémon recycle their [[Pokédex]] descriptions from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|previous]] [[Pokémon X and Y|entries]] instead of receiving new ones or, in the case of post-Generation III Pokémon, ones from a previous generation.
*** The games combined have only eight new Pokédex entries for four Pokémon ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}), the fewest out of any core series game. All other Pokémon use entries from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, X, or Y, with some entries receiving minor alterations.
** The in-game appearances of obtainable Pokémon are recycled from the generation's main pair of games.
** New held items and moves were introduced that were not in the generation's main pair of games.
** The TM list is slightly different than the generation's main pair of games. (While HeartGold and SoulSilver did alter the HM list as to make {{m|Whirlpool}} an HM again, its list of TMs was otherwise untouched from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.)
** Not all of the artwork for the Pokémon introduced in the games being remade was renewed.
* These Pokémon games currently offer the greatest number of unique in-game:
** [[Starter Pokémon]], with four (1 from Hoenn, 1 from [[Johto]], 1 from [[Sinnoh]], and 1 from [[Unova]]), exceeding the three offered in numerous games before. This excludes the [[Friend Safari]], where the player can potentially obtain all 6 [[Kanto]] and [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon.
** [[Legendary Pokémon]] with a total of 32 between both games.
* Alpha Sapphire has the longest name using fourteen characters including spaces.
* The combined and shortened name of these games ("ORAS") is Lithuanian for the word "weather", which is the main concept of [[Generation III]] games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire both feature the game's corresponding colored orb.
* This is the first pair of remakes where {{p|Eevee}} can evolve into all of its [[Eeveelutions]].

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VI]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014 with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mostly the same as Ruby and Sapphire with a few changes.

The player starts their journey in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved in from the [[Johto]] region after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the moving van, which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the van, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets their [[Rival|pseudo-rival]] (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, he/she soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds their pseudo-rival on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some [[Poké Ball]]s. When leaving through the Route 101, the player runs into the pseudo-rival who gives him/her a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him/her how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, they meet with their father at the Gym, where he tells them that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman to help him catch a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the nine [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader.

At the [[Rustboro Gym]], the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the {{key|IV|Devon Goods}} back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. The player heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but the room where Steven is blocked by curious Hikers. They are gone by the time the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]]. The player finds Steven in the Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that he/she could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling the pseudo-rival, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. At the end of Route 114 is [[Meteor Falls]], inside which the player finds Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}. This time, they have stolen a valuable {{key|IV|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly, the scene is interrupted by the appearance of the opposite-version's team, which causes the thieves to retreat to [[Mt. Chimney]] with the stolen meteorite. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting over the meteorite; after fighting an admin of the primary evil team, [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, lets the player take and keep the meteorite, and retreats.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player is given the [[Go-Goggles]] by their pseudo-rival, who then suggests that the player challenge their father at the Petalburg Gym. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven realizes the legendary Pokémon is asking for help, and it takes both Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]] where the evil team admin [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} is terrorizing Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}. After fighting off the evil team, Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} decides to join the player's team and give him/her its Mega Stone. Steven awards the player with a Mega Bracelet and Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}} takes both of them back to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of more information on Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling the grunts, the player comes face to face with the admin [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who appears distressed with what he/she found out. After besting the admin, the player saves the institute and is given a Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, the pseudo-rival appears and battles the player, and they give away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]] but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the {{key|IV|Devon Scope}}, a Mega Stone and notices that the meteorite the player picked up from Mt Chimney emits light. The Devon Scope allows the player to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles his/her pseudo-rival again. After the battle, the pseudo-rival notices the meteorite shining in the player's bag, just like Steven did before.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}{{sup/6|AS}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him; the team then heads for Slateport City. The old couple that watch over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Once the player fights their way through to the center of the hideout, finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, they encounter an admin Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]], where he/she challenges Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. After this a pillar of light appears on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. Steven notices the player coming out of the Gym and invites him/her to his house, where he gives him/her the {{HM|07|Dive}} and the Devon Scuba Gear. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player has a showdown with the team leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After the battle, the player witnesses [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} arriving and trying to warn their leader against waking up the legendary Pokémon, but the leader dismisses the warnings and uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon breaks out of the cavern and starts moving towards [[Sootopolis City]], its power driving the weather all over Hoenn out of control. The leader realizes that he can't control the Pokémon's power at all; just then, the leader of the opposite team appears, and the two bosses team up to try to stop the rampage.

After the bosses leave, Steven appears and tells the player to catch up with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Sootopolis City]]. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]].

Upon arriving in front of the cave's entrance, Steven, Wallace and the player meet up with the leaders and admins of both teams, as well as the pseudo-rival. The player receives the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} and is told that the Orb he/she possesses has the power to weaken the ancient Pokémon. After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. He/she puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion. The player witnesses it undergo the transformation and fights it. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather (seemingly) returns to normal, and the world is saved. Steven gives the player the Eon Flute and leaves.

After defeating [[Wallace]] at the [[Sootopolis Gym]], the latter gives out the final badge, {{Badge|Rain}}, and mentions that Prof Birch has something for him/her. Returning to Littleroot Town, the player is told that the recent events did change the climate in the Hoenn region, causing the Pokémon species that once left Hoenn to come back, and the regional Pokédex is not sufficient anymore, and gets the National Pokédex upgrade. The player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the Elite Four await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have proven themselves by collecting the eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and [[Drake]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and the pseudo-rival arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll as the player and the pseudo-rival return home. Back on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, the pseudo-rival becomes nostalgic and challenges the player one last time.

Returning home, the player overhears his/her parents discussing their plans to go see the [[Litleonids]] at [[Mossdeep City]], that [[Norman]] now has to cancel. As the parents ponder about what they can do with the tickets they bought, a mysterious symbol appears on screen, which then fades into a "To be continued" chyron.

Upon loading the saved game, the story continues with the [[Delta Episode]].

After completing the Delta Episode, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}} to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the [[Battle Resort]].

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
* Stereoscopic 3D is incorporated, and in the same manner as in X and Y.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.
* [[Time]] flowing from day to night as it was since being reintroduced within [[Generation IV]].
* The addition of Trainers with the {{tc|Backpacker}}, {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}}, {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}, {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}, and {{tc|Ace Duo}} Trainer classes.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and [[Mirage spot]]s found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===
====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat being more obvious, while May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs; Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been replaced by [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the long grass section in each area.
* A few new areas are added to {{ho|Victory Road}} that did not exist in Generation III. This also includes an area to where the player can face [[Wally]] instead of the main area of 1F where Wally was encountered in Generation III.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* [[Mirage spot]]s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty condition has been renamed to {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and Smart has been renamed to {{OBP|Clever|condition}}.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their [[Contest condition|condition stats]] maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after the Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]].
* Trainers that turn in place can now spot the player when they are turning if the player is directly north, south, east, or west of the Trainer.
*[[Mr. Briney]]'s boat is now capable of traveling between {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|109|Hoenn}} without having to stop at [[Dewford Town]] first. Additionally if the player travels through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to reach the other side, Mr. Briney would be found at that location allowing the player to use his boat without having to backtrack to the previous location.
**Because of the change on how the boat operates, {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} will not be counted as seen until the player returns there later after acquiring {{m|Surf}}.

=====Story=====
* Many characters' roles in the story are significantly elaborated upon, most notably Steven, Wallace, Team Aqua & Team Magma, and Wally.
** {{Steven}}'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Team Aqua & Team Magma's goals are slightly different: Team Aqua wishes to revert the Earth to its prehistoric state in order to restore the Pokémon habitats lost to human advancement, while Team Magma wishes to provide humanity with more habitable land as a means of accelerating human innovation.
** In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed, as revealed after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating [[Brawly]], as a line of NPCs will block the path.
* Relating to Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}:
** Team Magma/Aqua now steals the [[colored orb|Red/Blue Orb]] instead of the opposite one, to align with the new [[Primal Reversion]] mechanic and its place in the plot.
** [[Tabitha]] is now the Team Magma counterpart to Team Aqua's [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} is {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}'s counterpart, instead of the Admins of the same sex being counterparts.
** Instead of Team Magma/Aqua leaving [[Meteor Falls]] once they are found, Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}} or Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} and a Grunt instead challenge the player to a [[Multi Battle]] with {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}.
** The motivation behind Team Magma/Aqua's visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] is changed.
** During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader can escape.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a brief side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]].
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}} or Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The [[New Mauville]] sidequest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon or Kyogre event.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the [[Delta Episode]]. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role in this quest.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly in the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this, it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}} (though he does give the player {{TM|23|Smack Down}} for helping him at Meteor Falls). TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]].
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven to correct the situation, including a Multi Battle at the end.
*** Unlike the Multi Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} are Courtney and a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, instead of [[Maxie]] and Tabitha.
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The optional sidequest where the player accompanies the team leaders returning the orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the team leaders apologizing for their actions has been omitted. They instead apologize at [[Sootopolis City]] when they give the player the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be found outside their Gyms interacting with the world after the player has beaten the game.
* The battle against May or Brendan as the players' rival at [[Lilycove City]] is no longer optional.
* Brendan/May challenges the player to one final battle at {{rt|103|Hoenn}} immediately following the credits.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
** The Roselia of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Lydia from {{rt|117|Hoenn}} is now a Budew even before she is rematched.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* In Generation III the female administrators of Team Magma/Team Aqua, Courtney/Shelly were fought in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] before facing the team leader. This has been omitted in Generation VI, and as a result the player does not face against any administrators in this location.
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Trainers within the {{ho|Victory Road}} now have Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] on their teams instead of just using Pokémon native to Hoenn.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* [[Wally]]'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* Wally is given an exclusive battle theme, a rock remix of his leitmotif, rather than using the standard trainer battle theme.
* Archie's {{p|Sharpedo}}, Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}}, and Steven's {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild. The Pokémon in the {{safari|Hoenn}} have also changed significantly.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime or in the tiles adjacent to the lone rock in the river's southernmost curve (slightly north of the large field of long grass) during the nighttime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* {{p|Deoxys}} is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode, making this the first time where a [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]] has been legitimately available without the use of promotional events. It can also change its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallarbor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* {{Shiny}} variants of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys are now impossible to encounter in the wild; they can still be legitimately obtained if they are caught in Generations III or IV and transferred to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
* The [[catch rate]]s of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] are altered:
** The catch rates of Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, and Zekrom were reduced to 3.
** The catch rate of Rayquaza was raised from 3 to 45.
* {{p|Spiritomb}} may be encountered through a special method in [[Sea Mauville]].
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} in his lab upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first entering the Hall of Fame.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the player enters the Hall of Fame once more.
* Upon defeating or capturing {{p|Kyogre}}/{{p|Groudon}}, many Pokémon not available in [[Generation III]] become available as [[hidden Pokémon]].
* After defeating or capturing Kyogre/Groudon, the elderly woman in [[Lavaridge Town]] who the player could receive a {{p|Wynaut}} egg from now gives out a second Pokémon egg which contains a {{p|Togepi}}.

==Compatibility==
Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. They are mostly compatible with {{g|X and Y}}, with the exception of alternate forms, Mega Evolutions, moves, or Abilities introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which cannot be traded to or used in battle with X and Y.

==Beta elements==

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40, scoring two points fewer than X and Y and three points more than Ruby and Sapphire.

Within the first three days of release for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, over 3 million copies were sold in Japan, North America, and Australia.<ref>[http://myinforms.com/en-us/a/8093870-pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire-sell-3-million/ Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Sell 3 Million]</ref> Later when released in Europe, it came in at numbers 6 and 7 of the top ten video game sales chart for that week, also earning enough sales from both games into becoming the current candidate for the largest game launch of the Pokémon series in the region, beating out {{game|Black and White|s}}, which previously held this record.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-01-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-uks-biggest-pokemon-launch-ever Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire UK's biggest Pokémon launch ever]</ref> In the fiscal year of their release, they sold 9.94 million units.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2015/150507e.pdf Consolidated Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2014 and 2015]</ref>

IGN rated the games an "Good" 7.8/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/18/pokemon-alpha-sapphire-and-omega-ruby-review</ref>, 1.2 points fewer than Pokémon X and Y, criticizing the excessive amount of water and [[HM]]s. This reasoning was {{n|Gotta Meme 'em All: 7.8/10 Too Much Water|quickly mocked by fans}} due to these issues' presence in the original games apparently being overlooked. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hold a rating of 83.79%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792673-pokemon-omega-ruby/index.html</ref> and 82.73%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792672-pokemon-alpha-sapphire/index.html</ref>, respectively, on {{wp|Game Rankings}}.

==Trailers==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer}}
*A promotional trailer was made to promote Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The trailer was broadcasted in Japan on November 16, 2014, later being released on the Japanese ''Pokémon'' {{wp|YouTube}} Channel the same day, and on the English ''Pokémon'' YouTube Channel on November 20, 2014.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* These are the only pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** The games's names are not written as {{wp|Compound (linguistics)|compound words}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were introduced after the original games are possible. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}} cannot evolve because there is no [[time]] of day clock, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}} cannot evolve because none of those areas are in those games.
** Pokémon from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the original games}} can be transferred to the remakes.
** An accessory is not bundled with the games.
** The game does not include any HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games.
** No new protagonists are introduced.
** The Pokédex entries of certain Pokémon were changed entirely from the original games.
** Nearly all Pokémon recycle their [[Pokédex]] descriptions from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|previous]] [[Pokémon X and Y|entries]] instead of receiving new ones or, in the case of post-Generation III Pokémon, ones from a previous generation.
*** The games combined have only eight new Pokédex entries for four Pokémon ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}), the fewest out of any core series game. All other Pokémon use entries from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, X, or Y, with some entries receiving minor alterations.
** The in-game appearances of obtainable Pokémon are recycled from the generation's main pair of games.
** New held items and moves were introduced that were not in the generation's main pair of games.
** The TM list is slightly different than the generation's main pair of games. (While HeartGold and SoulSilver did alter the HM list as to make {{m|Whirlpool}} an HM again, its list of TMs was otherwise untouched from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.)
** Not all of the artwork for the Pokémon introduced in the games being remade was renewed.
* These Pokémon games currently offer the greatest number of unique in-game:
** [[Starter Pokémon]], with four (1 from Hoenn, 1 from [[Johto]], 1 from [[Sinnoh]], and 1 from [[Unova]]), exceeding the three offered in numerous games before. This excludes the [[Friend Safari]], where the player can potentially obtain all 6 [[Kanto]] and [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon.
** [[Legendary Pokémon]] with a total of 32 between both games.
* Alpha Sapphire has the longest name using fourteen characters including spaces.
* The combined and shortened name of these games ("ORAS") is Lithuanian for the word "weather", which is the main concept of [[Generation III]] games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire both feature the game's corresponding colored orb.
* This is the first pair of remakes where {{p|Eevee}} can evolve into all of its [[Eeveelutions]].

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VI]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014 with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mostly the same as Ruby and Sapphire with a few changes.

The player starts their journey in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved in from the [[Johto]] region after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the moving van, which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the van, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets their [[Rival|pseudo-rival]] (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, he/she soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds their pseudo-rival on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some [[Poké Ball]]s. When leaving through the Route 101, the player runs into the pseudo-rival who gives him/her a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him/her how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, they meet with their father at the Gym, where he tells them that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman to help him catch a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the nine [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader.

At the [[Rustboro Gym]], the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the {{key|IV|Devon Goods}} back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. The player heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but the room where Steven is blocked by curious Hikers. They are gone by the time the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]]. The player finds Steven in the Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that he/she could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling the pseudo-rival, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. At the end of Route 114 is [[Meteor Falls]], inside which the player finds Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}. This time, they have stolen a valuable {{key|IV|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly, the scene is interrupted by the appearance of the opposite-version's team, which causes the thieves to retreat to [[Mt. Chimney]] with the stolen meteorite. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting over the meteorite; after fighting an admin of the primary evil team, [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, lets the player take and keep the meteorite, and retreats.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player is given the [[Go-Goggles]] by their pseudo-rival, who then suggests that the player challenge their father at the Petalburg Gym. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven realizes the legendary Pokémon is asking for help, and it takes both Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]] where the evil team admin [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} is terrorizing Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}. After fighting off the evil team, Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} decides to join the player's team and give him/her its Mega Stone. Steven awards the player with a Mega Bracelet and Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}} takes both of them back to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of more information on Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling the grunts, the player comes face to face with the admin [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who appears distressed with what he/she found out. After besting the admin, the player saves the institute and is given a Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, the pseudo-rival appears and battles the player, and they give away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]] but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the {{key|IV|Devon Scope}}, a Mega Stone and notices that the meteorite the player picked up from Mt Chimney emits light. The Devon Scope allows the player to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles his/her pseudo-rival again. After the battle, the pseudo-rival notices the meteorite shining in the player's bag, just like Steven did before.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}{{sup/6|AS}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him; the team then heads for Slateport City. The old couple that watch over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Once the player fights their way through to the center of the hideout, finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, they encounter an admin Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]], where he/she challenges Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. After this a pillar of light appears on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. Steven notices the player coming out of the Gym and invites him/her to his house, where he gives him/her the {{HM|07|Dive}} and the Devon Scuba Gear. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player has a showdown with the team leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After the battle, the player witnesses [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} arriving and trying to warn their leader against waking up the legendary Pokémon, but the leader dismisses the warnings and uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon breaks out of the cavern and starts moving towards [[Sootopolis City]], its power driving the weather all over Hoenn out of control. The leader realizes that he can't control the Pokémon's power at all; just then, the leader of the opposite team appears, and the two bosses team up to try to stop the rampage.

After the bosses leave, Steven appears and tells the player to catch up with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Sootopolis City]]. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]].

Upon arriving in front of the cave's entrance, Steven, Wallace and the player meet up with the leaders and admins of both teams, as well as the pseudo-rival. The player receives the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} and is told that the Orb he/she possesses has the power to weaken the ancient Pokémon. After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. He/she puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion. The player witnesses it undergo the transformation and fights it. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather (seemingly) returns to normal, and the world is saved. Steven gives the player the Eon Flute and leaves.

After defeating [[Wallace]] at the [[Sootopolis Gym]], the latter gives out the final badge, {{Badge|Rain}}, and mentions that Prof Birch has something for him/her. Returning to Littleroot Town, the player is told that the recent events did change the climate in the Hoenn region, causing the Pokémon species that once left Hoenn to come back, and the regional Pokédex is not sufficient anymore, and gets the National Pokédex upgrade. The player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the Elite Four await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have proven themselves by collecting the eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and [[Drake]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and the pseudo-rival arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll as the player and the pseudo-rival return home. Back on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, the pseudo-rival becomes nostalgic and challenges the player one last time.

Returning home, the player overhears his/her parents discussing their plans to go see the [[Litleonids]] at [[Mossdeep City]], that [[Norman]] now has to cancel. As the parents ponder about what they can do with the tickets they bought, a mysterious symbol appears on screen, which then fades into a "To be continued" chyron.

Upon loading the saved game, the story continues with the [[Delta Episode]].

After completing the Delta Episode, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}} to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the [[Battle Resort]].

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
* Stereoscopic 3D is incorporated, and in the same manner as in X and Y.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.
* [[Time]] flowing from day to night as it was since being reintroduced within [[Generation IV]].
* The addition of Trainers with the {{tc|Backpacker}}, {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}}, {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}, {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}, and {{tc|Ace Duo}} Trainer classes.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and [[Mirage spot]]s found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===
====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat being more obvious, while May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs; Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been replaced by [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the long grass section in each area.
* A few new areas are added to {{ho|Victory Road}} that did not exist in Generation III. This also includes an area to where the player can face [[Wally]] instead of the main area of 1F where Wally was encountered in Generation III.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* [[Mirage spot]]s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty condition has been renamed to {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and Smart has been renamed to {{OBP|Clever|condition}}.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their [[Contest condition|condition stats]] maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after the Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]].
* Trainers that turn in place can now spot the player when they are turning if the player is directly north, south, east, or west of the Trainer.
*[[Mr. Briney]]'s boat is now capable of traveling between {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|109|Hoenn}} without having to stop at [[Dewford Town]] first. Additionally if the player travels through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to reach the other side, Mr. Briney would be found at that location allowing the player to use his boat without having to backtrack to the previous location.
**Because of the change on how the boat operates, {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} will not be counted as seen until the player returns there later after acquiring {{m|Surf}}.

=====Story=====
* Many characters' roles in the story are significantly elaborated upon, most notably Steven, Wallace, Team Aqua & Team Magma, and Wally.
** {{Steven}}'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Team Aqua & Team Magma's goals are slightly different: Team Aqua wishes to revert the Earth to its prehistoric state in order to restore the Pokémon habitats lost to human advancement, while Team Magma wishes to provide humanity with more habitable land as a means of accelerating human innovation.
** In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed, as revealed after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating [[Brawly]], as a line of NPCs will block the path.
* Relating to Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}:
** Team Magma/Aqua now steals the [[colored orb|Red/Blue Orb]] instead of the opposite one, to align with the new [[Primal Reversion]] mechanic and its place in the plot.
** [[Tabitha]] is now the Team Magma counterpart to Team Aqua's [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} is {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}'s counterpart, instead of the Admins of the same sex being counterparts.
** Instead of Team Magma/Aqua leaving [[Meteor Falls]] once they are found, Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}} or Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} and a Grunt instead challenge the player to a [[Multi Battle]] with {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}.
** The motivation behind Team Magma/Aqua's visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] is changed.
** During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader can escape.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a brief side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]].
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}} or Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The [[New Mauville]] sidequest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon or Kyogre event.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the [[Delta Episode]]. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role in this quest.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly in the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this, it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}} (though he does give the player {{TM|23|Smack Down}} for helping him at Meteor Falls). TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]].
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven to correct the situation, including a Multi Battle at the end.
*** Unlike the Multi Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} are Courtney and a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, instead of [[Maxie]] and Tabitha.
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The optional sidequest where the player accompanies the team leaders returning the orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the team leaders apologizing for their actions has been omitted. They instead apologize at [[Sootopolis City]] when they give the player the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be found outside their Gyms interacting with the world after the player has beaten the game.
* The battle against May or Brendan as the players' rival at [[Lilycove City]] is no longer optional.
* Brendan/May challenges the player to one final battle at {{rt|103|Hoenn}} immediately following the credits.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
** The Roselia of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Lydia from {{rt|117|Hoenn}} is now a Budew even before she is rematched.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* In Generation III the female administrators of Team Magma/Team Aqua, Courtney/Shelly were fought in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] before facing the team leader. This has been omitted in Generation VI, and as a result the player does not face against any administrators in this location.
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Trainers within the {{ho|Victory Road}} now have Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] on their teams instead of just using Pokémon native to Hoenn.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* [[Wally]]'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* Wally is given an exclusive battle theme, a rock remix of his leitmotif, rather than using the standard trainer battle theme.
* Archie's {{p|Sharpedo}}, Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}}, and Steven's {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild. The Pokémon in the {{safari|Hoenn}} have also changed significantly.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime or in the tiles adjacent to the lone rock in the river's southernmost curve (slightly north of the large field of long grass) during the nighttime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* {{p|Deoxys}} is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode, making this the first time where a [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]] has been legitimately available without the use of promotional events. It can also change its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallarbor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* {{Shiny}} variants of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys are now impossible to encounter in the wild; they can still be legitimately obtained if they are caught in Generations III or IV and transferred to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
* The [[catch rate]]s of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] are altered:
** The catch rates of Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, and Zekrom were reduced to 3.
** The catch rate of Rayquaza was raised from 3 to 45.
* {{p|Spiritomb}} may be encountered through a special method in [[Sea Mauville]].
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} in his lab upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first entering the Hall of Fame.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the player enters the Hall of Fame once more.
* Upon defeating or capturing {{p|Kyogre}}/{{p|Groudon}}, many Pokémon not available in [[Generation III]] become available as [[hidden Pokémon]].
* After defeating or capturing Kyogre/Groudon, the elderly woman in [[Lavaridge Town]] who the player could receive a {{p|Wynaut}} egg from now gives out a second Pokémon egg which contains a {{p|Togepi}}.

==Compatibility==
Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. They are mostly compatible with {{g|X and Y}}, with the exception of alternate forms, Mega Evolutions, moves, or Abilities introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which cannot be traded to or used in battle with X and Y.

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40, scoring two points fewer than X and Y and three points more than Ruby and Sapphire.

Within the first three days of release for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, over 3 million copies were sold in Japan, North America, and Australia.<ref>[http://myinforms.com/en-us/a/8093870-pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire-sell-3-million/ Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Sell 3 Million]</ref> Later when released in Europe, it came in at numbers 6 and 7 of the top ten video game sales chart for that week, also earning enough sales from both games into becoming the current candidate for the largest game launch of the Pokémon series in the region, beating out {{game|Black and White|s}}, which previously held this record.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-01-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-uks-biggest-pokemon-launch-ever Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire UK's biggest Pokémon launch ever]</ref> In the fiscal year of their release, they sold 9.94 million units.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2015/150507e.pdf Consolidated Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2014 and 2015]</ref>

IGN rated the games an "Good" 7.8/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/18/pokemon-alpha-sapphire-and-omega-ruby-review</ref>, 1.2 points fewer than Pokémon X and Y, criticizing the excessive amount of water and [[HM]]s. This reasoning was {{n|Gotta Meme 'em All: 7.8/10 Too Much Water|quickly mocked by fans}} due to these issues' presence in the original games apparently being overlooked. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hold a rating of 83.79%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792673-pokemon-omega-ruby/index.html</ref> and 82.73%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/792672-pokemon-alpha-sapphire/index.html</ref>, respectively, on {{wp|Game Rankings}}.

==Trailers==
{{main|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer}}
*A promotional trailer was made to promote Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The trailer was broadcasted in Japan on November 16, 2014, later being released on the Japanese ''Pokémon'' {{wp|YouTube}} Channel the same day, and on the English ''Pokémon'' YouTube Channel on November 20, 2014.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* These are the only pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** The games's names are not written as {{wp|Compound (linguistics)|compound words}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were introduced after the original games are possible. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}} cannot evolve because there is no [[time]] of day clock, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}} cannot evolve because none of those areas are in those games.
** Pokémon from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the original games}} can be transferred to the remakes.
** An accessory is not bundled with the games.
** The game does not include any HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games.
** No new protagonists are introduced.
** The Pokédex entries of certain Pokémon were changed entirely from the original games.
** Nearly all Pokémon recycle their [[Pokédex]] descriptions from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|previous]] [[Pokémon X and Y|entries]] instead of receiving new ones or, in the case of post-Generation III Pokémon, ones from a previous generation.
*** The games combined have only eight new Pokédex entries for four Pokémon ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}), the fewest out of any core series game. All other Pokémon use entries from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, X, or Y, with some entries receiving minor alterations.
** The in-game appearances of obtainable Pokémon are recycled from the generation's main pair of games.
** New held items and moves were introduced that were not in the generation's main pair of games.
** The TM list is slightly different than the generation's main pair of games. (While HeartGold and SoulSilver did alter the HM list as to make {{m|Whirlpool}} an HM again, its list of TMs was otherwise untouched from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.)
** Not all of the artwork for the Pokémon introduced in the games being remade was renewed.
* These Pokémon games currently offer the greatest number of unique in-game:
** [[Starter Pokémon]], with four (1 from Hoenn, 1 from [[Johto]], 1 from [[Sinnoh]], and 1 from [[Unova]]), exceeding the three offered in numerous games before. This excludes the [[Friend Safari]], where the player can potentially obtain all 6 [[Kanto]] and [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon.
** [[Legendary Pokémon]] with a total of 32 between both games.
* Alpha Sapphire has the longest name using fourteen characters including spaces.
* The combined and shortened name of these games ("ORAS") is Lithuanian for the word "weather", which is the main concept of [[Generation III]] games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire both feature the game's corresponding colored orb.
* This is the first pair of remakes where {{p|Eevee}} can evolve into all of its [[Eeveelutions]].
