Sceptile's new typing and ability looks to make it a real serious problem for electric types.  That's a quad resistance underneath that Lightning Rod! 

See, that's the problem: Lightningrod completely negates Electric attacks and boosts the owner's Special Attack, so Mega Sceptile's 4x resistance to it is completely useless... Furthermore, it's now 4x weak to Ice attacks...

Ah, I forgot about that change.  I don't keep up with updated abilities, since I only play single player.  And that quad weakness is a pain, but Swampert's always had a quad weakness to Grass; it's why I have Ice Punch on mine for a bit of defense.

Well I know which starter I'm choosing!!

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire- E3 Details

During today's Nintendo Digital Event at E3, Nintendo confirmed the details that were leaked in CoroCoro with a nice gameplay trailer. This trailer showcased Mega Sceptile, Swampert and various parts of Hoenn. The details for the Primal forms are confirmed in English as Primal Groudon, which is now Ground/Fire & Primal Kyogre. It also revealed the game will be out on November 21st 2014 in Japan & North America and November 28th 2014 in Europe.




Also, a map!

Judging by the big honking ruby it's hiding behind, I feel like this might be another version-specific Mega Evolution.  I wonder, if another version exists, what the different evolutions might do?

New video:



There are also A LOT of new pre-release screenshots, found here (scroll down to June 12's).

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Mega Sableye

Further details have been revealed about the Pokémon, Mega Sableye. It is confirmed that Mega Sableye retains its Dark/Ghost-type, but rather than keep any of the abilities, it gets the ability Magic Bounce. It has increased Defense and Special Attack stats, but decreased Speed. During battle, Mega Sableye shelters itself behind the jewel, from where it can take advantage of any openings its target leaves exposed.

Guess that answers that.

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

It has been confirmed that Secret Bases have returned to Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, now known as Super-Secret Bases. As before, Secret Bases are created by using the move Secret Power on various parts of the Hoenn region including on walls and in trees. You can even set battle rules in your Secret Base. Players will be able to share their Secret Base with other Trainers around the world using StreetPass functionality, or they can create a QR Code for their unique Secret Base, enabling friends to visit it with ease. When visiting other Secret Bases, players can meet other Trainers in the same base and invite them back to their own Secret Base as Secret Pals. Players can interact and battle with Secret Pals, who have special skills that can support players in their adventures, such as sharing new Decorations, making a Pokémon Egg hatch faster, or raising the level of a select Pokémon by one. The more Secret Pals players have in their Secret Base, the more special skills will be available to help them in their adventures. Players can also capture flags while visiting other players' Secret Bases. Flags are located beside the Secret PC in each Secret Base. The more flags a player collects, the higher the rank earned, which brings rewards like improving the skills of a player's Secret Pals. A new character called Aarune has been revealed for this, and he is the Secret Base Expert. He currently resides in Hoenn, but is a world traveler, and has a Flygon

Secret Bases pics can be found here (scroll down to July 8th 2014).

Secret Bases traded with StreetPass. I SO called it!
I'm back

Rikaria

That was a given. I just don't really like the 2nd idea, as I would've preferred Mixing Records.

Mega Metagross also has a greatly increased Speed stat, with additional increases in its Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def, making Mega Metagross primed for both offense and defense.
Edit @ 15:30: Following amiguity with the Canadian release date last month, where it was listed solely as November, we now have confirmation that the games will arrive in Canada on November 21st

In all honesty...

It was probably only a matter of time before Metagross got a Mega Evolution regardless.

Better sooner than later. I guess?
