Pokémon Omega Ruby
About the Game
In this enhanced remake of Pokémon Ruby Version , players travel throughout the Hoenn region on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Like the original, the goal is to challenge the eight Pokémon Gyms of the Hoenn League and earn badges from their Gym Leaders, then take on the Elite Four and the Champion. However, the world is endangered when the villainous Team Magma tries to expand the continents by resurrecting the ancient Legendary Pokémon Groudon. Aside from technical upgrades, the game is drastically changed in certain aspects.
Story & Setting
Mega Evolution plays a major part of the storyline, and a new form change is introduced in the form of Primal Reversion, exclusive to Groudon and Kyogre.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Instead of roaming Hoenn after defeating the Champion as in the original, Latios automatically joins players' party after summoning players Southern Island. Latios can be used to soar through the skies of Hoenn, taking players to locations known as Mirage Spots that cannot be reached otherwise. After the main story, a new chapter called the Delta Episode is unlocked, allowing players to once again save Hoenn from disaster.
Standout Features
- Contests: Pokémon Contests return under the name "Contest Spectacular" and have some new mechanics, while the basic format is largely the same.
- Finally, the Battle Tower is replaced by the Battle Resort, which features tough Trainers as well as a replica of the Battle Maison from Pokémon X and Y .
