Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire (for Nintendo 3DS)

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire for the Nintendo 3DS update the classic Gen III Ruby/Sapphire games with 3D graphics and polished mechanics worthy of a modern Pokemon title.

Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire : Battle

Every Pokemon game is self-contained, and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire (known to fans as ORAS) is just as good a starting point for a fledgling Pokemon fan as any, and just as good a continuation/remake as any.

Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire : Dual Battle

Besides one-on-one battles, there are dual battles, horde battles, and other variant battle types.

Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire : Hoenn Region

Revisiting the Hoenn region after visiting the Kalos region in X/Y, and playing through the basic structure of Ruby again was a lot of fun, even if it felt very familiar both as a standalone Pokemon game and as a remake of the original Ruby.

Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire : Mega Evolution

Pokemon ORAS also includes the Mega Evolutions introduced in X/Y, which can turn a Pokemon into an even more powerful version of its most evolved form once per battle.

Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire : Minigames

Pokemon Super Training and Pokemon-amie minigames from X/Y are also added, so you can develop your Pokemon past their basic leveled stats and have direct control over the once-obfuscated Effort Values and extra attributes.
