14 DAY TRIAL // Nintendo has offered way more details about its upcoming remakes, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire at E3 2014, including a November 21 release date, as well as fresh info about its primal evolutions of the two legendary beasts – Groudon and Kyogre.
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire were revealed to the world earlier this year and prompted a huge wave of nostalgia among fans of the series, as Ruby and Sapphire are some of the most beloved iterations in the franchise, amazing Game Boy Advance owners in 2003.
Now, at E3 2014, Nintendo has offered a huge amount of new details about the two remastered experiences, starting with a November 21 release date worldwide for the 3DS portable console.
The company has also confirmed that the two creatures on the cover of the two games represent the Primal versions of the legendary Pokemon from the original games – Groudon and Kyogre.
Apparently, both creatures were sent to different places after an epic battle, with Groudon entering a long slumber in the magma beneath the planet's crust.
"Primal Groudon is brimming with energy, which pours from its body as magma. The magma burns at such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering ruby red from the haze of its heat, giving off light in the darkness," the company said.
"Through Primal Reversion, Primal Groudon becomes much larger and adds Fire type to its Ground type, raising the power of Fire-type moves it can learn. Primal Reversion greatly boosts Primal Groudon’s Attack. Its Ability may get a boost during this epic transformation, too."
Kyogre, on the other hand, entered a deep sleep on the ocean floor, and also went on to go through the Primal Reversion process, according to Nintendo.
"Primal Kyogre, a Water-type Pokémon, is awash with energy that spills from its body as seawater. Its blue skin shines like a sapphire and is half-translucent like the sea. Primal Reversion greatly boosts Primal Kyogre’s Special Attack."
"Its Ability also seems to get a boost, although this information cannot yet be confirmed. Primal Kyogre is massive, growing to be more than twice Kyogre’s size."
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will explore the mysteries surrounding the Mega Evolution and its new region of Hoenn will house more Mega Stones that can be equipped onto your Pokemon to potentially trigger the special evolutions.
