"Pokémon Omega Ruby" and "Pokémon Alpha Sapphire." Pokémon

The popular Pokémon remakes 'Omega Ruby' and 'Alpha Sapphire' will be launching on the 3DS this week! With the games release in just a few days we thought a great way to celebrate is to give our readers a heads up in what to expect from the game.

A number of features introduced in 'Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire' that had since been discontinued are set to return in these new titles. Of the features customizable secret bases and Pokémon Contest return. Furthermore Mach Bike and the Acro Bike will return along with third generation player characters Brendan and May. In addition, a number of features introduced in "Pokémon X and Y" will also return, with Horde Encounters and Mega Evolutions already confirmed to be part of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, with the Horde Encounter feature expanding into Trainer Horde Battles.

Since the titles announcement there has been multiple reveals for Megas. Check out all the Megas coming to ORAS below:

  • Mega Sceptile - This Pokémon was first revealed in the CoroCoro issue released in June 2014. This Pokémon is to Mega Evolve from the starter Treecko you receive in game. Mega Sceptile can cut off a portion of its tail to fire it like a missile at an opponent.
  • Mega Swampert - This Pokémon is to Mega Evolve from the starter Mudkip you receive in game. It gets a boosted Attack stat. The musculature of Mega Swampert’s upper body has developed immensely, making it look tougher than ever.
  • Mega Diancie - This Pokémon is to Mega Evolve from the Mythical Pokémon, Diancie. The impurities upon its body’s surface have fallen away, and it sparkles so brilliantly when reflecting light that you cannot look directly at it. The diamond on its head measures over 2,000 carats. Mega Diancie receives a big boost to its Speed, as well as boosts to its Attack and Sp. Atk, while experiencing a reduction in its Defense and Sp. Def.
  • Mega Sableye - Mega Sableye uses the jewel as a powerful defensive tool in battle. From behind the shelter of the jewel, it can readily exploit the opponent’s weaknesses and take advantage of any openings. It is said that the jewel hardens into such strength that no attack can even make a scratch! It has an increased Defense and Special Attack stat, but decreased Speed.
  • Mega Metagross - It is used by the Champion of the region, Steven Stone. Mega Metagross also has a greatly increased Speed stat, with additional increases in its Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def, making Mega Metagross primed for both offense and defense.
  • Mega Altaria - This Pokémon gets an increased Special Attack & Attack stat, as well as a boosted Defense. Mega Altaria's body is enveloped in its unique feathers, which glimmer with an iridescent sheen. They have grown even larger as a self-protective measure. It sings with a voice that is even more beautiful than before it Mega Evolved. It has a sociable personality and is not timid.
  • Mega Lopunny - This Pokémon was first revealed in the CoroCoro issue released in August 2014. It gets a highly boosted Attack & Speed stats. A full-power strike from its ears could crumple solid steel plates. Its personality transforms and becomes extremely aggressive, which often leaves its Trainer feeling bewildered by the change.
  • Mega Salamence - This Pokémon gets a highly boosted Defense stat. Its two wings fuse together, becoming a single huge wing in a crescent shape. When flying at high speeds, this wing becomes a great blade, slicing through anything loitering in Mega Salamence's way.
  • Mega Slowbro - This Pokémon was accidentally uploaded by the Pokémon website in Korea, and then officially revealed at the Pokémon World Championships. It has boosted Defense and Special Attack. Energy was focused in the Shellder biting Slowbro's tail, and the result was that the hardness of the shell increased and it became an immensely hard suit of armor that can be damaged by no one. When the battle begins Mega Slowbro uses its tail to stand up straight and it propels itself like a spring.
  • Mega Audino - This Pokémon was also accidentally uploaded by the Pokémon website in Korea and then revealed at Gamescom. It has boosted Defense and Special Defense. It makes and releases from its body a Heal Pulse that cuts hostility. Its Heal Pulse is immensely strong and can make anybody calm. Whoever comes into contact with its second feeler (the one on its chest it sometimes holds in its hand like a stethoscope) falls into a deep slumber.

"Pokémon Omega Ruby" and 'Alpha Sapphire' will release for Nintendo 2DS and 3DS Friday Nov. 21.
