Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is the newest game from the Pokemon
Company. If you don’t know what Pokemon is, it is a RPG where you catch
little monsters in Pokeballs and make them battle against each other
until they pass out for human entertainment. OM and AS are remakes in a
way of the 3rd generation of pokemon, Ruby and Sapphire. The reason why
I say that is in a way a remake is because it isn’t the same adventure
as the originals. This game takes place in the Hoenn region. The 3
starter pokemon are mudkip, a water type, torchic, a fire type, treeko,
a grass type pokemon. There are two antagonist teams in the games, Team
Magma and Team Aqua. Team Magma is in Omega Ruby while Team Aqua is in
Alpha Sapphire.
The
legendary pokemon for Omega Ruby is Groudon, a ground type pokemon, and
the legendary pokemon for Alpha Sapphire is Kyogre, a water type
pokemon. The new feature that they introduced to this game is primal
evolution to those 2 pokemon only. This means that you can evolve them
back to their more powerful state before humans existed and pokemon
ruled the land.
Mega
Evolution is also a feature that was created in last years pokemon game
but carried over into this one. This means that you can use a mega
bracelet that you obtain in the game to mega evolve your pokemon into a
stronger form. Only certain pokemon are able to mega evolve. You know
if they are able to mega evolve if there is a mega stone with their
name on it.
There
are many objects to the games. You want to complete your pokedex which
stores data about pokemon you catch, beat all the the gym leaders to
get all the gym badges and find all the items. After you beat all of
the gym leaders, you go to something called Victory Road. This leads
you to the Elite Four, a group of very powerful pokemon trainers that
you have to defeat to get to the Pokemon Champion. The Pokemon Champion
is the most powerful trainer in the region. When you defeat him, you
become the Pokemon League Champion and you and the pokemon you used are
put into the hall of fame.
After
that, you start the Delta Episode. In this, a meteor is heading towards
Earth and you have to wake the Legendary Pokemon Rayquaza to stop it.
You catch him and fly into space to destroy the meteor, then the
Legendary Pokemon Deoxys appears. After that, you finish the game.
