Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Rumor Discussion
 

ORAS Rumor Discussion


Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are set to be released within coming months, and with that, comes a lot of rumors, fake scans, unconfirmed news, and such things to keep people talking. These kind of topics can't possibly be discussed here, but fortunately, we have this thread to save ourselves. Whenever you run into anything that have no official validity, you're always free to come here, post, and kick off a conversation. However, before we go anywhere, let's check out the guidelines below.

  1. You're allowed to converse only unconfirmed or fake things here. For those that actually are confirmed to be real, please visit the respective thread.

  3. Below are lists of fakes (stuff confirmed to be fake due to errors made by the creator, or an original found elsewhere), and rumors (stuff not yet confirmed to be real or fake). If you'd like something to be added here, just say so, and we'll look into it!

Basically seems out of place to me. The wording is off, and they just recently released Mega Sableye - why throw two more into the media so soon after it? As a strategical move that doesn't make sense. Personally, I would like to see these two receive Mega evolutions in the future, but as far as that poster goes, I think it's fake.

Well they did reveal Mega Sableye close to the official reveal of the Mega Hoenn starters and Mega Diancie, so it wouldn't be all that surprising. Also it'll build hype for their reveal.

However there are misspellings, also why show silhouettes of the Pokemon getting Mega evolutions instead of showing them, or having their Megas have the silhouettes. So those things point to it being fake.

I'm gonna leave this link here: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?630567-IMPORTANT-ANNOUNCEMENT-Pokemon-ORAS-RUMORS-amp-FAKE-SCANS-Thread-*READ-HERE-SECOND*

Anyway, I find it fun to read these rumors. Makes me excited while at the same time have fun controlling my hopes. ^_^

Hiatus June 16th, 2014 9:57 PM

I think it'd be pretty cool if Mega-Metagross were actually a thing. Have always wanted to see a mega form for this Pokémon, and this would literally be a dream come true for me. I'm not really sure how many people would like it, but I know I definitely would; one way or another, I'd make sure to have it on my team.

Salzorrah June 16th, 2014 11:05 PM

I'd like to see Mega Metagross (Megagross) and Mega Milotic in the game seeing as they are kinda rare back in RSE. I hope they do make them slightly valuable this time I guess.

bobandbill June 17th, 2014 4:25 AM

Mega Metagross would be indeed neat. Sadly, that scan does mix up language a bit, and as someone else pointed out you wouldn't hide them now in shadow when every other mega reveal for ages has been with a proper video or full artwork.

Anyways, edited the list some, and Endless put the stuff from the sppf list here too (as far as I'm concerned, it's best to have this info accessible to all fans! Less assumptions on fake stuff being real the better, especially when people steal other people's work from deviantart or somesuch and claim it's a leak. Sigh.). Also this is now a sticky, until release (in which case we'll no longer care about leaks!).

Elaitenstile June 17th, 2014 4:42 AM

Hmm, I would have really liked to see some actual body changes on the silhouettes, that might have made it a lot more believable.

The problem with most rumours is that, they try revealing what we want to see, so there isn't anything unexpected (like Lance being featured in the games or something) which may have made the rumour more interesting.

As of now, I'm going along with the Metagross/Salamence/Milotic ones because it seems that pseudo-legends are getting megas and Metagross and Salamence are the ones native to Hoenn. Milotic because Gyarados got one and that Wallace will be less of a joke if he has one.

hint hint the last link is broken apparently because 4chan doesn't like direct links

Skystrike June 17th, 2014 4:54 AM

The news rumors are VERY believable, considering some of that other stuff on Nintendo News has came true. Though there's one thing that's bugging me: Groudon and Kyogre already have Primal forms. So that makes me think that at least the megas being leaked is unbelievable.

Has anyone seen this image in the spoiler? Supposedly it's supposed to be a 'Best Buy advertising poster', but it's clearly fake. It's off colored, there are a bunch of Megas that people want, and the screenshots are all things we already saw. If anything, I don't think we'd get screenshots.

It... still works for me! Maybe it was temporary? Maybe later I'll reupload separately.

Yeah, it's in the first post list as well (2nd one I believe).

Pepperton June 17th, 2014 7:00 AM

I may be the only one, but I'm hoping for Camerupt and Sharpedo, and maybe one or two more Megas, and that's it. If they give all the popular Pokemon Mega evolutions, it loses its special feel and becomes the norm, just a little add-on. Right now, it's a pretty big deal for a Pokemon to receive a Mega evolution, and they should try to keep it that way.

I guess the reason why Camerupt and Sharpedo are getting rumored is due to them being the "ace" Pokemon of Maxie and Archie respectively, and it was already shown the two leaders had Mega Stones on them.

If Charizard gets an Omega form, the Venusaur and Blastoise should also get Omega forms.

It's fake...

Which is good because Charizard already has two Mega forms. :|

Pepperton June 17th, 2014 8:21 AM

Oh man, this one made me laugh. That's a terrible attempt at a fake, seriously. xD There's probably going to be a lot of images of Primal Rayquaza flying around the internet, which is understandable. Until it's revealed by Game Freak, I still remain skeptical that it'll get a Primal form. Not completely dismantling the possibility, though!

L0RD G3NGAR June 17th, 2014 10:24 AM

That news isn't true is it? Wouldn't that mean no more WiFi trades?

And has anyone seen the Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, fusion scan? It's so funny

Skystrike June 17th, 2014 10:27 AM

...I would love for everything besides the first one on the news list to be true, it just sounds atrocious :x That would mean no more international trades...

also rayquaza/dialga and rayquaza/palkia fusion confirmed

SINNOH CONFIRMED!!!

No more international trades would suck, and the one about copying teams and trading them sounds fake as

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 17th, 2014 1:18 PM

The rumor about the footage of the Megas sounds quite fake as it's already known that Kyogre and Groudon's Megas are called Primal forms, and may not even be considered Megas by GF and/or fans.

One thing you have to keep in mind is that we have access to the news online far easier than people who don't spend a majority of their free time on the internet, or who don't use the internet at all. If they put up screenshots we already saw or silhouette Pokemon we've already seen, then it's for the general public to see. It's possible this poster was released before Sableye's Mega was revealed.. and technically we weren't supposed to know about the existence of Mega [email protected] anyway.

I'm not by any means saying the poster is real, but it wouldn't be fake just because of that really.

Looks real enough for me!

But on a serious note, they are VERY noticably copy and pasted

All valid statements, but in regards to the actual poster, the coloring is a pretty reliable factor to determine the authenticity of this specific leak. Gaming companies are too meticulous to release any items with defects like that, which is what leads me to believe the poster is fake. There's no visible date in the image other than the launching date, so it's impossible to tell if it was created before the announcement of Mega Sableye.

Yes but the image is fake because of the err in scripting the date (comma after November as opposed to the proper location of after 21) and improper grammar/word choices within "the firsts exclusive" rather than "the first exclusives." I'm hopeful for Mega Metagross/Milotic as well, but those are highly doubtful confirmations. :p

Skystrike June 17th, 2014 4:46 PM

Besides, we've had two Stone-only-in-a-different version in X/Y...

They're not the first :\
