==Blurb==
==Features==
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is a remake that adds new life to many concepts from the original Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald games. Several things are remodeled, as can be seen in the trailers.
===Mega Evolution===
Several Pokémon now have a Mega Evolved form. The most notable ones are the region's starters. Sceptile and Swampert are now capable of Mega Evolution, along with Blaziken (who has already received a Mega Evolution in X and Y). In addition to that, Sableye, Metagross, Salamence, Altaria, Lopunny, Slowbro, Audino, Camerupt, Sharpedo, Gallade, Rayquaza and Diancie can also Mega Evolve. Players can use Mega Bracelet to Mega Evolve Pokémon.
===Primal Reversion===
This is the new method opposite to evolution. Currently, only Groudon and Kyogre have Primal Forms.
===3D Movement===
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are the first remakes to feature a 3D gameplay. The player can now move in all 8 directions. Some areas are also in 2D.
===First partner Pokémon===
The starters are the same as they were in the original Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire: -type Treecko, -type Torchic, and -type Mudkip. The player has to choose one of them at the start of his or her journey.
===Super Secret Base===
Secret bases make a return in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire as Super Secret Bases. Everything from the previous Pokémon games’ Secret Bases returns. The player is able to share secret bases using Street Pass or QR Codes, and can also make people his or her "Secret Pals" if he or she visits another person's base.
===Sky Encounters===
Sky Encounters are a new type of encounter introduced for the first time in Pokémon. This encounter can be achieved while riding Mega Latios or Mega Latias in Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire respectively.

==Trivia==
*These are the first games where the player's character takes their shoes off indoors. Brendan and May occasionally remove their footwear, revealing their socks. However, this is restricted to certain houses and Petalburg City's Gym, the latter of which is a dojo-styled building. Ironically, while Pokémon Sword and Shield's Isle of Armor expansion would feature an actual dojo later on, the player keeps their shoes on inside it.
