Can anyone explain why they're giving Mega Sceptile Lightningrod? I understand Mega Swampert having Swift Swim, they want to make it like Venusaur in Gen 5.
Sceptile no longer fears thunder wave. He can hit fast and hard without worrying about paralysis. Unless the enemy uses glare, but who honestly carries that move?
 
ok so not related to PY's question at all but

The 'devolution' concept explains why Latias and Latios' megas look so similar, they're actually devolutions and they're deevolving to a point before their species diverged omg
 
And Mega Diancie totally looks like a magical girl now.

This must be a way to make up for the lack of girly legendaries this generation.
 
The playable characters look like they have clothing that doubles as swimsuits which makes sense because of the abundance of water areas in Hoenn.

Calling it now, Primal Dialga in Blue Gold Diamond (or Pink Gold Platinum if that happens).
 
Mega Swampert looks like a wrestler, and that is the most incredible thing to me
 
Can't we just slap a general spoiler warning in the thread title and post our thoughts unspoilered? This is getting kind of absurd.

Also, is it really a spoiler if it's promotional material?

This should just be a given for a topic about a future release.
 
I wasn't going to spoiler my post, but everyone was doing it so I just wanted to be popular.
 
yeah it was probably dumb of me to spoiler the info in the first place :/
 
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
Launching November 21, 2014

Primal Reversion Transforms Popular Legendary Pokémon
into Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre

BELLEVUE, WA—June 10, 2014—The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo announced today that the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire video games will launch in North America on Friday, November 21, 2014, exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Pokémon fans will collect, battle, and trade Pokémon as they travel throughout the rich natural beauty of the Hoenn region.

Also confirmed today is that the Pokémon featured on the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire game packages are in fact Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, a newly revealed transformation of the Legendary Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre. These two extremely powerful Pokémon clashed in an epic battle that once sent Groudon into a long slumber within the magma beneath the planet’s crust and drove Kyogre into a deep sleep at the bottom of the ocean floor. The awesome transformation is a result of Primal Reversion, when Groudon and Kyogre reclaim their original power from nature’s energy and obtain even greater power than they already have. The power within Primal Reversion is still being discovered, as well as what connection may lie between Primal Reversion and Mega Evolution.

More details about Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre:

• Primal Groudon is brimming with energy, which pours from its body as magma. The magma burns at such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering ruby red from the haze of its heat, giving off light in the darkness. Through Primal Reversion, Primal Groudon becomes much larger and adds Fire type to its Ground type, raising the power of Fire-type moves it can learn. Primal Reversion greatly boosts Primal Groudon’s Attack. Its Ability may get a boost during this epic transformation, too.

• Primal Kyogre, a Water-type Pokémon, is awash with energy that spills from its body as seawater. Its blue skin shines like a sapphire and is half-translucent like the sea. Primal Reversion greatly boosts Primal Kyogre’s Special Attack. Its Ability also seems to get a boost, although this information cannot yet be confirmed. Primal Kyogre is massive, growing to be more than twice Kyogre’s size.
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire will explore the mystery of Mega Evolution even further, a powerful Evolution that only occurs to some Pokémon during battle. For Mega Evolution to take place, Trainers need a Key Stone to resonate with a Mega Stone held by a Pokémon during battle. Twenty-eight Mega Stones have been identified since they were introduced in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, but it is said there are still more Mega Stones to be discovered in the Hoenn region.

todays e3 footage looked so dope omg i want this game so bad
they really did a great job on it
that map looks really nice too
 
It's probably too hopeful wanting much of a Battle Frontier if any; Ruby and Sapphire didn't have it.

I'm kind of gutted to see the lack, but I'm still not giving up on it yet, though.
 
Oh no. Mega Sableye is totally going to be OP.
 
i was about to say "i'm predicting mega mawile", but then i totally remembered that it already has a mega evo

looks pretty damn cool
 
Mega Sableye, aw yiss.

Now just need Mega Sharpeedo and Mega Flygon.
 
Game Freak's idea in these games seems to be "Mega Evolution EVERYTHING!"
