We’re getting a remade version of the Game Boy Advance’s Hoenn region in full 3D, complete with the ability to fly over the whole thing with the Eon Pokemon. We’re getting all of Pokemon X/Y’s best features, including Wonder Trade, Pokemon Amie and the PSS. We’re getting the welcomed return of Contests and Secret Bases with the added feature of letting us turn them into custom gyms. And we get all the Mudkipz we can handle! Did we mention loads of Mega Evolutions?
If you couldn’t tell, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire are going to be huge games, but why stop here? Why not add a disaster story that centers on Rayquaza, a previously event exclusive legendary, new characters and nearly every rare Pokemon from the past? Because… Wynaut!?
After the main story is complete, the Delta Episode continues the struggle against Team Magma and Team Aqua. Once it’s discovered that an asteroid threatens to destroy the world, the player and their newly Mega Evolved Rayquaza must take to outer space itself to attempt to save the land from this threat. But with the evil teams trying to take advantage of the situation for themselves after their failed attempts to control the land and seas, a mysterious new trainer by the name of Zinnia who’s motives are still unknown, and the powerful DNA Pokemon, Deoxys, who’s on a collision course with the Sky High Pokemon. But you know, no pressure. It’s just the fate of the Hoenn region in your hands.
In addition to this new side story, the Mirage Spots that were mentioned in previous trailers were expanded on, showing off even more Legendary Pokemon that will be available. Including Cresselia, Heatran, Uxie, Azelf, Mespirit, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Cobalian, Virizion, Terrakion and others who have previously been shown, it’s never been easier to catch em’ all! If that wasn’t enough, three golems can unlock an ancient monster that we’re all familiar with, but only if players can solve the mysteries surrounding them.
Can this game get any bigger? With so many Mega Evolutions, new content, Pokemon to catch and side missions to play, it’s looking more and more like a must buy. And how awesome would it be if Deoxys ended up being the first Event Pokemon that can be caught normally in game? With only a week away, it won’t be long until we’re knee deep in another trip to the Pokemon World, and I couldn’t be any more excited!
But I must ask, now that we’re giving away more post game content, do you good people out there think there will be even more surprises once the game hits? Or have they laid their cards on the table early, potentially ruining all the surprise? Let us know!
Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire releases on November 21st.
