Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are out in America and Japan, but Europe has to wait until the 28thm sadly.
If you want to transfer the Glalietite from the ORAS demo, just talk to Steven and tell him to send your data over to the retail game.
Welcome to the world of Pokémon!
G&T Pokémon trainer Friend Code list
If you want to add yourself, use this form. If you've defeated the Elite Four, in order to see your friends' third safari mons and have a chance to get hidden ability pokés, you need to have been online in-game at the same time at least once. After that, you don't need to be online in order to get those.
Also, check out G&T's Sexy Breeding List, which makes it easier to keep track of who has certain pokés with 3 or 4 perfect IVs.
Remember to notify everyone you add that you've done so. The best way is to add an @ just before their name. If the name has spaces, type the name inside "quotation marks". Remember to also leave your trainer name. Don't attempt to add everyone, as the 3(2)DS only allows to register up to 100 people.
WHAT ARE THESE POKÉMON CREATURES THAT EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT????
Pokémon are creatures who are mainly used for being enslaved and made to battle to the death, but some people just think they're cute and keep them as pets. Upon reaching a certain level, Pokémon evolve... Or, well, saying they change their form is more accurate, as the Game Theorist explains:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF2mRcAoXLQ
But we'll still call them evolutions, for simplicity's sake, and also because it's the official term (also, the changes they suffer do count as evolutions, just not necessarily Darwinian evolution.
Anyway...
If you're planning to get Pokémon X or Y, you need to be prepared for a ton of mechanic changes, as big the ones in second, third, and fourth generations.
First of all, XY will feature Dig.... Err... Mega Evolutions:
Here are some trailers showcasing Mega Evolution:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-7F_CtogpM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BftrqE2CQiQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blhaSxUJ-OU
Some Pokémon even have different Mega Evolutions depending on the specific stone you use (and they're X or Y exclusives).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WFoT9oGtfc
Upon the release of the game, you get a Torchic holding the stone that turns its final evolution, Blaziken into...
Mega Blaziken, fuck yeah.
They're also introducing a new type, the Fairy type, which is strong against Fighting, Dragon, and Dark-type Pokémon, while it's weak against Poison, and Steel, and actually takes no damage from Dragon-type attacks! Also, it deals weak damage when up against Fire, Steel, and Poison. I guess they liked Ferngully.
A few of the revealed Fairy-type Pokémon are these:
Sylveon, a new Eevee evolution, who gets Cute Charm as its ability and it's rumored to have Multiscale as its Dream World ability.
Xerneas, the X Pokémon mascot uber.
There are plenty to choose from, and some older Pokémon, like Jigglypuff and Gardevoir have turned into Fairy types (in the case of Gardevoir, it still retains its Psychic type, though).
Metagross fans, though, prepare to be disappointed, because Steel no longer resists Dark and Ghost types. Bummer.
And for those of you who always complained about how hard it was to train the Effort Values of Pokémon (regardless of how easy it kept getting as each generation got released), they made them even easier now, which comes to a blessing even for those of us who got used to doing that, with the introduction of Super Training:
And speaking of Pokémon-Amie, you won't need to play Hey You! Pikachu anymore in order to attempt to bond with Pokémon.
Some of the improvements that XY introduced:
- Every Pokémon that participates in battle getting full Experience (when using EXP All, each one gets half EXP, unless they participated in the battle).
- You now have ability to customize the trainer's appearance, you can sit, and walk diagonally.
- When breeding with a Destiny Knot attached to either parent, the offspring will inherit five IVs from either parent instead of just three.
- You can battle at restaurants to earn both money and experience, and you can increase the amount you earn by using O-Powers.
- Train faster with Pokérus, Power Items and Horde Battles (triggered by Sweet Scent, look bellow for a video that explains it).
- Unrestricted autoleveled battles over Wi-Fi are back, but only up to level 50, but it's not a problem.
Pokémon X and Y will be available on October 12th both physically and specially, I mean, digitally. The digital release's size will be 1.7GB.
(Also, Pikachu's cry will now be the voice of Ikue Otani, I thought you should know)
Those of you who wish to get into competitive battling should breed new pokés or wipe your current ones' EVs and then check their IVs:
IV Calculator
TO ALL THOSE CHEATERS THAT ATTEMPT TO CLONE POKéMON BY COPYING YOUR DIGITAL GAME'S SAVE FILE: The game will link your save to an ID in the 3DS's system memory, so if you try to restore your save, it won't recognize it.
For those who wish, for some strange reason, erase your game in order to start a new one from scratch, you have to press Up + B + X at the title screen to delete the save file.

General battle rules:
- You can only put one Pokémon belonging to you opponent to sleep. If the foe uses rest, that pokémon doesn't count. Otherwise, be a good sport and don't put a second pokémon to sleep.
- You may not have repeat pokémon. That means that if you have two pokémon that share the same Pokédex number, you should swap out one of them.
- No one-hit KO moves. Example of these are Sheer Cold and Fissure.
- No evasion moves like Double Team and Minimize, and no Sand Veil + Sandstorm or Snow Cloak + Snow Warning.
- Don't use pokémon with the ability Moody.
- Wynaut and Wobbuffet are no longer banned. There are more than enough ways to get around them, and they're not that good anyway.

Bulbapedia wrote:Mega Evolution (Japanese: メガシンカ Mega Evolution) is a transformation method found only in the Kalos region. Mega Evolutions are identified by having "Mega" in front of their name.
In order to undergo a Mega Evolution, the Pokémon must be holding the applicable Mega Stone. The player must use their Mega Ring, which contains a Key Stone, to resonate with the Mega Stone held by their Pokémon to trigger Mega Evolution. Mega Evolution can only occur in battle and disappears after the battle is over.
Korrina knows secrets about Mega Evolution. The Tower of Mastery is also related to Mega Evolution in some way.

Bulbapedia wrote:Super Training (Japanese: スーパートレーニング Super Training) is a method of Pokémon training introduced in the Pokémon X and Y games. It allows players to train their Pokémon on the touch screen from anywhere at any time. Super Training allows the player to not increase their Pokémon's level, but instead raise its stats. It is possible to access Super Training via the Player Search System and Pokémon-Amie.
And speaking of Pokémon-Amie, you won't need to play Hey You! Pikachu anymore in order to attempt to bond with Pokémon.
Pokémon-Amie (Japanese: ポケパルレ Poké Parley) is a feature in Pokémon X and Y that allows the player to develop stronger bonds with their Pokémon. It uses the touch screen to allow players to pet, feed, and play with Pokémon currently on their team. Players may interact with their Pokémon by petting or feeding them via the touchscreen or mimicking their movements using the camera. There are three new options to choose from for the player: play, hunger and friendliness, and there is a display screen showing the options. Large Pokémon, like Tyranitar and Snorlax, take up both screens of the 3DS.
Playing with a Pokémon increases its friendship with the player, and allows it to avoid attacks and land critical hits more often.
Some of the improvements that XY introduced:
- Every Pokémon that participates in battle getting full Experience (when using EXP All, each one gets half EXP, unless they participated in the battle).

Legendaries are also subject to tiers. Meaning that you can have Articuno and a bunch of NUs and it'll still be an NU team because Articuno just fucking sucks.
Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
I ended up forgetting about emerald for far to long and I have no idea where I am in the story.
I'm in Meteor Falls, I have 3 badges and the volcano ash bag, anyone have any inkling of where I should head to or at least a way to get my headings?
Are you fucking kidding me? Do you really need that thing gone?
And based on the thread, the average reasoning for the ban in the debate was "enough people are using Aegislash that I feel like I have to bring something in my team to counter it", which is... kind of scrubby reasoning.
I'm "kupiyupaekio" on Discord.
In singles, I don't even feel the need to bring a counter.
Their reasoning seems to boil down to that a rather lot lately. They have a lot of good minds there, but it seems they are less interested in playing the game that was made so much as remaking the game into their idealized version. There are times when shit is just straight broken, but they seem to err on the side of "the game is meant to be played this way, so let's ban anything that prevents that."
I've found Smogon's suggestions for movesets useful as a basis for training Pokémon, but their pigeonhole "rules" have never once registered as anything more than a momentary distraction. If you want to play a meta-game within Pokémon, it can be whatever you want, from "No Items, Bidoof Only, Final Destination", to "You have to sing death metal in falsetto during your turn".
So long as it's possible within the game Nintendo/Gamefreak put out, I don't see why an increasingly dubious, insular meta-game, highly geared toward battle simulators instead of enjoying Pokémon in its entirety, should be given another thought once you hit, "Well gee, I don't agree with that", or, "But that's no fun",

Of course I got there and got my ass kicked by the leader cause his Mightyena chewed through most of my team, and was utterly immune to my clutch Gardevoir and its bevvy of psychic attacks.
Time for a Rocky Training/Power leveling montage.

I'm pretty sure it's something like 1/1600, but I could be wrong.
EDIT: From Serebii-
I am hoping for some Eevee plushies...
They have a cute mailman pika pi.
