I'll most likely get both games, as per Pokemon gaming tradition.

Omega Ruby since I started off with Ruby as a kid. I'm still going to buy both, but oh well. Omega Ruby gets my vote. :3

I plan to get both, hopefully together; however, if I can only get one at a time then Omega Ruby gets priority. Ruby was my first GBA game so it has sentimental value, plus I prefer its version exclusive Pokemon (assuming that they'll stay the same) and evil organization (though, if they follow the Emerald storyline this doesn't really matter).

I've never really understood the point of buying both in these days. I mean, with the GTS, Wonder Trade, and proliferation of the internet, it's really easy to get all your version exclusives nowadays even if you barely have any friends. Seems like just buying the same game for the price of two. Oh well, perhaps some want to experience ALL the version differences, like story?

Anyway, due to this (and the fact that I have a boyfriend who I am sucking back into my avid Pokemon obsession who will buy the opposite version. Also, lack of money helps), I'll be getting the red version. Which is Omega Ruby. I'd honestly prefer if it were Alpha Ruby and Omega Sapphire, due to liking the word "Alpha" better than "Omega" and not being too found of it in general, but it does have a better ring to it. Also, a ruby is my favorite gem!

Ironically, back in Gen III, I got Sapphire for Latias and the other version exclusives I preferred better. (Including Kyogre. Not too found of Groudon, to be honest. It looks like a giant red cheese grater to me) But as I, again, have a boyfriend who will get the opposite version, we can just trade for exclusives anyway. He wants Latios, and I want Latias. All works out. I can finally correct this oversight of having Sapphire even though Ruby is my favorite gem. :3

Defiantly Omega Ruby for sure. I'm surprised to see everyone going with Alpha Sapphire but I still like Groudon more than Kyogre. I guess i will be the less but greater size of the argument. I think we can all agree that Treeko is the best starter though right?

I got Ruby first, though I got Emerald way before haha, so I'm definitely picking Omega Ruby! My sister is getting Alpha Sapphire too, so we can deal with trade evolutions and version exclusives together, haha.

Alpha Sapphire seems tempting though, but we'll just wait and see.

I've always personally preferred Groudon over Kyogre, as well as Team Magma, so I am going to most likely get Omega Ruby.

Sapphire is my favourite gemstone so I'm going with alpha sapphire,also because the new Kyorge form/mega evo looks so majestic.

Going to pre-order both games at once I think :3 Since I am a game collector and I like to collect Pokemon stuff in general, it's only natural for me to get both versions anyway ;)

I'm getting Omega Ruby because I always get the most popular version, and Groudon is pretty cool.

I did the same with getting Emerald before, but it was Sapphire instead of Ruby. My sister wants me to get Alpha Sapphire, and Sapphire has more sentimental value. But I want Latios...gah...Also I got the first remake (Firered) and then got the second remake (SoulSilver) so now it's back to first of the pair. I hope they pull an emerald and have all the Weather trio (even if the Megas/formes are exclusive as I like better Kyogre's anyways), and allow us to pick the Eon we get, or have an event to get the other. If so I'll get Alpha Sapphire. Ah...but Ruby is my birthstone and my favorite gem...but Sapphire happens to be my mothers (and is tied for my favorite gem...go Corundum!). I guess Alpha Sapphire is still winning. However if Swampert or Sceptile (or even Blaziken...) get's two megas and I like better the Omega Ruby one I'll get it.

I got the original Ruby for myself but lost it. My brother has the original sapphire and he still has it today. I'm about it go with Alpha Sapphire because Team Aqua's nasty plot sounded better than Team Magma's.

I plan on picking both of them up, but I'm not made of money so I will be getting Pokemon Omega Ruby first. I like Groudon a lot better than Kyogre, and if the version exclusives stay the same, that's just another reason for me to get Omega Ruby first. Also, I like Team Magma's plan better; to make more land in Hoenn. I sort of wish that they would actually be successful because there is a little too much water in Hoenn, not that it bothered me but it seems logical as to why they want more land. :P

I loved them both, (R&S) and I like Kyogre/Groudon equally, but I preferred Sapphire to Ruby back in the day. That could change depending on if the version exclusives change, or if something like that changes. I do think Groudon's forme is cooler looking, though.

Better late than never! I added a poll to this thread so come on down and cast your votes.

Still in the AS boat though admittedly the new Magma redesigns have been making me consider picking both copies up on release day. Still unlikely but I am tempted. 8(

I will be getting Pokemon Alpha Sapphire because Team Aqua just seems like the more insane group this time, with more rugged and edgy characters on their side, and a clearer "pirate" motif, which I think comes off as more intimidating. Team Magma...looks more straight-laced and calculated by comparison, and their basic grunt outfits are somehow much less intimidating. Furthermore, their goal of creating more land in Hoenn is not beyond understanding, and their plans in Emerald just came off as ridiculous, like they were trying too hard to be evil. They just seem like they'd be your ragtag band of allies, not the villianous group you'd be frightened by.

I'm loyal to Kyogre and he is awesome with drizzle and that wicked special attack, so count on me to get Alpha Sapphire! Water Spout is very deadly and Thunder is so the move to kill pokemon. Mainly I pick AS because I played Sapphire first and Kyogre really helped destroy the Elite Four! Kyogre rules above all! : )

After seeing that Sceptile and Swampert have finally got their own Megalutions, I said dear Arceus almighty, this makes me want to buy one of these!


Now I usually don't buy remakes, but these are exceptions, especially being that I've never play Ruby or Sapphire. I'm probably going to get AS and catch my very first Kyogre.

Leaning Sapphire, but need to see more exclusives first. Team Aqua does look cooler than magma now.

I selected both. The reason is because later on, I'll end up getting the second one when my dad gets his check once they come out. The thing is, they come out a month after my anime convention gets over, so I will only be able to get one copy, and it will be Omega Ruby.

We always run short of money after my convention, but he promised me he'd get me one or the other when they came out. I'm also going to make sure to preorder Omega Ruby because I do all of the time for pokemon games. XD

Getting both at once for a change, hopefully there will be nice pre-order bonuses :P

Omega Ruby all the way! Groudon is one of the best legendary pokemon imo. Though to be honest the entire trio is awsome. If possible I will try to get both (and maybe the eventual something Emerald?)
