Finding a game showcased during this year’s E3 Expo that has been scheduled for a 2014 debut was an almost herculean task. But Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire and Pokemon: Omega Ruby as both games will be released for the 3DS on November 21.

Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire and Pokemon: Omega Ruby are remakes of the third generation of Pokemon games, Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Ruby, which were released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. These new versions feature remade 3D graphics and a “Primal Reversion” to the game’s cover characters: Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon. That’s right, Pokemon has begun to de-evolve.

Be sure to check out the new trailer above, which highlights the evolutions of the game’s three starting Pokemon, and another new trailer featuring Mega Sableye, which can be found after the break. (more…)

I’ve spent the last 15 minutes somehow trying to equate Pokemon trainers with mothers and it’s just not working out. It always ends up sounding creepy or weird. So anyway… here’s a short sneak peek of 3D versions of Groudon and Kyogre in Pokemon: Omega Ruby and Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire. Enjoy!

Pokemon: Omega Ruby and Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire will be released for the 3DS in November.

Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire remakes coming to 3DS this November

Posted on May 7, 2014 by John Scalzo

Nintendo released Pokemon X and Y on the 3DS last Fall to critical acclaim and big sales. Today, they’ve announced that the pocket monsters will return to the handheld courtesy of a pair of remakes… Pokemon: Omega Ruby and Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire.

Originally released in 2003, Ruby and Sapphire are part of the third generation of Pokemon games and they were the first to be available for the Game Boy Advance. Nintendo has a habit of remaking Pokemon games and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will follow in the footsteps of previous remakes such as Red/Green (Generation I) and Gold/Silver (Generation II).

Details on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are still pretty scarce, but we know the games will be available worldwide sometime in November.
