An upcoming episode of Pokemon Get TV will contain plenty of new information regarding Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. The episode will air on June 15th and promises a large scoop.

• The next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the upcoming games.
  
• This reveals Mega Sceptile, Swampert and Diancie. Mega Sceptile is Grass/Dragon-type while the others maintain their type. Mega Diancie's ability is currently listed as ??? while Mega Sceptile has Lightning Rod and Mega Swampert has the ability Swift Swim.
  
• Groudon & Kyogre's new "Mega Evolutions" are known as Primal/Prehistoric/Primeval Groudon & Primal/Prehistoric/Primeval Kyogre and are said to be a regression called Ancient Devolution. Steven Stone returns and also appears to have a Mega Charizard X and is after the secret for Mega Evolution.
  
• Both the Mach and Acro Bike make a return in this game and Team Aqua & Team Magma both return as well.
  
• Team Magma is lead once again by Maxie, and his Admins: Tabitha & Courtney.
  
• Team Aqua is lead by Archie and his admins Matt and Shelley, all of whom have been redesigned.
  
• Like the originals the team you face varies depending upon the game.

Sableye was in that apparently Mega Evolution list for XY last year. Other Hoenn Pokemon in that list are Tropius, Zangoose, Salamence and Metagross. The trademarks list suggests that the other Hoenn pokemon also will get the mega evolution treatments are Plusle, Minun, Banette, Kecleon, Slaking and Rayquaza.

Take it with a grain of salt!

The list is missing Pinsir, Medichamp, Banette, Manetric, Houndoom, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, not to mention the Latios and Latias that were leaked. That list was clearly guesswork and the person got lucky a couple of times.

When Sableye Mega Evolves, its Defense and Sp. Attack stats both get big boosts. Its Speed stat does decrease slightly, perhaps because of the weight of its huge jewel. Thanks to its Magic Bounce Ability, any moves that affect only stats or status conditions will be bounced back at its attacker.

Guess Sableye with Hidden Ability Prankster and Mega Ability Magic Bounce is gonna be OP in the battle.

 

[Xtreme RX]

So gonna get Omega Ruby. Loved the original.

Anyone else hope that Team Aqua and Team Magma are given slightly better villain motives than just hating land/water?

I mean wanting to destroy the ocean because you hate water is a terrible villain plan.

Secret Bases are back! http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/the-secret-is-out-on-super-secret-bases/

Super-Secret Bases are an awesome new way to express your creativity and join up with friends in the upcoming Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire games. Create a Secret Base that’s all your own, including selecting and placing Decorations however you like. You can use Decorations to create tricks in your Secret Base, decide the rules for what kind of Pokémon battles are allowed there, and make it like your very own Pokémon Gym! Then get ready for other players to come and challenge you!

Using communication features, it’s easy to connect with other players around the world to share your Secret Bases with one another. When you visit another player’s Secret Base, that base’s members will be hanging out there. You can talk to them or even battle them! If you find base owners that you like, you can scout them as one of your Secret Pals and bring them back to your own Secret Base. Once you’ve become Secret Pals with someone, you can continue to have Pokémon battles against them, and also have your Pal use “special skills†to support you on your adventure.

Another fun aspect of Super-Secret Bases is a capture-the-flag activity. Examine the flag beside the Secret PC in another player’s Secret Base to obtain it! You can take one flag per day from each base visited. Visit lots of Secret Bases and collect lots of flags to improve your team’s rank and get rewards, including increasing the skills of your Secret Pals. Flag colors will change based on a team’s rank, so you can tell another team’s rank at a glance—and others can tell yours!

You can share your Super-Secret Base with Trainers all over the world! Symbolize your Secret Base with a QR Code. With a QR Code, you can get the Secret Base of a particular player you’ve been wanting to visit.

To help you get started with Super-Secret Bases, you’ll meet Secret Base Expert Aarune. Aarune and his Flygon are world travelers, bursting with excitement about the Secret Base culture in the Hoenn region. This enthusiastic adventurer will teach you all about the fun of Secret Bases during your journey.

Look forward to building your own Super-Secret Base—and visiting your friends’ Super-Secret Bases—in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.
