In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], a news report will be on TV. It will announce that a Pokémon is {{pkmn2|roaming}} the Hoenn region, which will be either {{p|Latias}}{{sup/3|Sa}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/3|Ru}}.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Latias or Latios is encountered earlier in the game and no longer roams.
