This blog post is about an all-amazing event that is about to happen. On November 21, 2014, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire will be release!!! I am truly excited for this. Not only are these brand new Pokémon games for the 3DS, they are remakes of the old Pokémon Gameboy Advance Games, Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire. When those games came out I got Pokémon Ruby, so I plan on getting Omega Ruby. Nothing against Kyogre, but since I had the original, I plan on getting the remake. Interesting enough, I got Pokémon Ruby for my birthday, now I plan on getting Pokémon Omega Ruby for my birthday this year. The reason I’m not getting the game on the day it releases is because my birthday is at the beginning of December, so I don’t have to wait that long. Also, I don’t have my own money to pay for it, so I have to wait.
Now for those who haven’t played the originals or are just new to Pokémon and don’t know much about the game, let me explain. Basically, you do what you do in most of the Pokémon games. You travel around, collect Pokémon, fight the gym leaders, beat the elite four, and get into the hall of fame. In these games, you travel around in a region called Hoenn. You are form a small town called Littleroot; this is where your adventure begins. Then, you will be able to choose one Pokémon to be your partner. There are three Pokémon that you can choose from. First, Torchic, a fire type Pokémon. This Pokémon will evolve into a Combusken at level 16, turning it into a fire and fighting type. Then at level 36, it evolves into a Blaziken, still a fire and fighting type, but much more powerful. Second, Treecko, a grass type Pokémon. Treecko will evolve into a Grovyle at level 16. At level 36, it evolves into a Sceptile, a agile grass type. Third, and the most liked one it seems, Mudkip. Mudkip is a water type Pokémon that evolves at level 16 into Marshtomp becoming a water and ground type. Finally at level 36, it evolves into Swampert. Unfortunately, you can’t have them all (unless you transfer them or trade them) you can only have one. So, this is based on opinion, you choose the one you think is the best or the one you just like the best. You can choose whichever one you want; there is no wrong chose. Just remember that what ever you choose, your rival is going to choose the Pokémon that your Pokémon is weak to.
All right, enough about the starters lets move on to the rest of the story. So, in every Pokémon game, you must fight a group of criminals; weather its team Rocket, team Plasma, team Flare, team Galactic, or whatever, their evil and you, as the hero, need to fight and stop them. However, in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby, there are two different evil organizations you must fight. Team Aqua and Team Magma. Team Aqua is after the legendary Pokémon Kyogre, while Team Magma is after the legendary Pokémon Groudon. Kyogre is a Pokémon that creates severe rainstorms; by doing so he drowns the land under water, expanding the sea. Groudon is the exact opposite; he increase the sunlight’s rays making in incredible hot. This evaporates water and expands the land. Its sea vs. land; and you will fight one of these evil groups and be able to catch the legendary Pokémon they are after. It depends on the game you have. In Pokémon Omega Ruby: Team Magma and Groudon. In Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Team Aqua and Kyogre.
Also this game will go more in depth into the mystery of Mega Evolution, which was introduce in Pokémon X and Y. We will figure out more about that in the game. Well, I’m excited for this game just like all the Pokémaniacs are and can’t wait to get it.
Here is some Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire trailers( both equally as epic):
