Instead of using a grainy coro-coro scan which was speculated to hell and back, why not use the official art, which was released way over a month ago:
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/f/fa/Omega_Ruby_Alpha_Sapphire_Sidney.png
Which specifically does not have a mega stone.
Maybe because I was on my phone and it was the only picture I could grab quickly.

How do you know it's not a mega stone? Even from the official art you can't 100% determine if it is or isn't a mega stone. From what I can see resembles (key word there, being resembles) a mega stone.

He could have a Mega Stone in a pocketwatch or something and we'd never know until he pulled it out! :P

Actually if you look at the picture Muffin provided and zoom in you can clearly make out the hands of a clock, meaning it's a normal chain watch, not a pocket watch or a Mega item.

Yeah, with Norman being the father-figure in the game and being the 5th Gym Leader, it seems plausible that he either has a Mega Evolved Pokémon or talks about it in some way.

Well he is the father of the main character xD.
I hope he does have one. I can see Wallace being the one to have one (if only one gym leader will get a Mega), seeing how he was the champion in Emerald. Plus his ace will join the ranks of Metagross, Garchomp, and Gardevoir in having Megas (all three being aces).

I was only using pocketwatch as an example since it's something that can be kept out of sight, I wasn't necessarily referring to Sidney's specific watch. Sorry.

I think that if he has anything hidden they'll at least hint at it in his description or in his design.

There is a chance though that Glacia and Drake could get Megas though. Also post game they (first two) could get their own Mega items (like the Rival in XY did).

I think Mega Slaking would be way too OP for a non-legendary Pokémon (770 BST W/ Mega Evolution). Perhaps Zangoose could gain a Mega Evolution and become his Ace Pokémon.

Well there is the chance that his ace may not be the one he Mega evolves. Lysander's ace seems to be his Pyroar.

I remember reading on Bulbapedia (I think) that Winona's Gym could be completely skipped until you reached the Pokemon League, of which you're denied entry due to not having all the badges. I wonder if that would still happen in the remakes because it would be interesting.

Well Winona's badge allows us to use fly, so unless someone wants to travel all the way to Slateport after confronting Magma/Aqua in Mt. Pyre it will be quite grueling to travel all the way back there...basically they might just leave it the way it was in the originals, with the hopes that one won't do that. That or they change it so that Steven doesn't give us the Devon Scope until we get it.

Sounds reasonable, as a test of the player's strength or something to that nature. I remember liking to skip Brawly though until after getting the Fourth Badge and then going back and smashing him.

How did you end up skipping Brawly? irc Mr. Briney (if only Brine were a Tm like in Gen IV, then he'll be a nice fit to give us that Tm :( ) doesn't take you to Slateport unless you get the badge...
Edit: Nvm, it was just the letter that we needed to deliver. I must say I'm impressed you made it through that cave without the ability to use Flash. If Flash in no longer a Tm I see them making it so that we need the badge before moving on being a requirement.

I wasn't sure where to ask this so I just wanted to know if I should buy either omega ruby or alpha sapphire since I already have x? Are they gonna be better overall? Are they gonna be longer?
Welcome to the forums lightmaster! There's not really a place you can ask that - this thread is for discussing gym leaders in ORAS. There are pros and cons to both options, and you're going to have to figure out what the best course of action is for you. In the future, make sure that your posts stay on-topic, otherwise I'm going to have to delete them. Happy posting!

So, guys; what do you wish to see done with gym leaders and members of Elite Four in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? Want some of them to be replaced? Hoping to see them get new sets of clothing? What kind of Pokémon would you expect them to have on their teams? Also, what TMs would you like them to give when you defeat gym leaders?
Honestly i wouldnt change a thing, im a vintage gamer when it comes to pokemon and just the fact they are giving us a 3d version of the GBA R/S is enough. Although i do hope, since mega evolution is a thing that who ever is the Sootopolis Gym leader has a mega evolution and at least each of the elite four have one too. If i had to change anything id want it to be more challenging in battle style.
Dangerous knowledge is still knowledge and therefore useful.

August 29th 2014: Completed XY National Pokedex. Own all 719 Pokemon.

I used to be an adventurer like you until I took an Ice Spike to the face

Currently On break from XY and ORAS until i can buy a new 3ds I dont have a Friend Code anymore, so please refrain from asking about it. Thanks.

I really hope they don't make any changes to the current leaders or elite four members, the fact that they're holding back on revealing the full set could slightly incidents there could be se sort of shake up. Then again these are remakes which would have no reason to change any of the main characters, the league line-up is great as it is tbh.

CoroCoro can't come sooner...

I'm just want to know about the Sootopolis gym leader. That's all I need.
I have a feeling it's likely going to be Wallace, since they are following the format of R/S and not Emerald.

I hope so, too, but it'd also be nice to see Juan make appearance somewhere down the line and perhaps have a battle or two.

Either that, or maybe they could have them both as Gym Leaders, and allow us to decide which person we want to face off against? They could also have it depend on your starter choice, similarly to how they did in Black and White with Cilan, Cress, and Chili. Personally, I'd be fine with any of these two options!

Perhaps they could include Juan in the Demo to at least give him some spot light if they aren't going to have him in the main game.

I hope that the one who isn't chosen shows up as a high-level Contest opponent, which seems to fit both of their personalities and I can't see a reason not to. I honestly don't have that much of a preference over the choice, but if I had to choose I'd go with Wallace for the sake of staying closer to the originals.

Maybe contests will be like in the PWT where persons from various regions announce their story. Like other version moms, Daisy Oak, Erika, what's his face from Heart home. DLC for other opponents. Lady Astrid? Yourself?

Wonder, if Amie not in ORAS, going into contests with an eevee is how we Sylveon.

Pokemon Amie was already revealed to be retained, so they'll likely keep the same evolution method for Sylveon. They have however confirmed Feebas to revolve back to its original evolution method (maxed Beauty) while the Prism Scale is only used in games where Contests don't exist.
