I'm hoping some Mega Stones, old and new, can be purchased in Mauville with Coins since the fun part of the Game Corner is most likely gone. It would be a nice addition rather than looking up online their locations, changing the clock on your 3DS, and gathering them all at once on the overworld. Spending ten minutes to collect these all important, game changing items once is pretty effortless quest. I know I could just not look them up, but who's going to re-explore every location post game? Never mind, Hoenn is that awesome. I'd gladly run, surf, and bike the whole region again. I won't even mind the return of those annoying Zubat and Tentacool, now in Horde form; have fun with Supersonic spam. Speaking of searching every little accessible tile space, return of the old Itemfinder? An updated PokéNav wouldn't be bad either, one where you could ignore trainer calls. A new Berry Blending Key Item so you can utilize the remake's method of blending berries on the go?

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

This is probably unlikely, but it would be awesome if Rayquaza revives after being fainted the first time & devolves to it's prehistoric form the way some bosses have two stages of toughness in other games. I remember Rayquaza being the toughest pokemon I ever had to catch through all games since nothing could really take its hits in gen 3 & it wouldn't stay in it's damn ball. I used a shit load of timer balls trying to catch it.
Possibly to prevent ANOTHER Server Overload with Pokemon Bank. Plus in PAL regions, they have to change how Casinos/Game Corners work and function as far as "Simulated Gambling" go due to issues with censorship and laws so those regions can take a little more time. To be honest it seems to a rather smart idea.
And contests. I've always liked the original contests and it's surprisingly quite difficult to get a poke with all the ribbons.
According to bulbapedia the release date for Japan, North America, Australia and South Korea is November 21st. Then Europe will get their release on November 28th. That's pretty good considering that in the past we usually had to wait a lot longer for games to be released than other English-speaking countries like America.

I'm pretty much planning to leave any Pokéchats I have on skype, then avoid Pokémon sites including Smogon like the plague until I can get and complete Omega Ruby.
One Phrase to add on to that for (possible) hype:
CONTEST BATTLES.
That would be sooo damn awesome. It would be so cool, espically if they had a facilite, or even a wifi Battle option for it in ORAS, it would be a fun new battle system, with a whole new Meta revolving around making your Pokemon's attacks looking good as well as using damage, And a Battle Portion in Contest would be great.
ALSO: We need to be able to have Contests Over Wifi, in fact that could let us have the above mentioned Wifi Contest Battles. (if we got them which I so want us to.)

yeah well i live in aus not eurpoe i just thought that aus has same release date as europe

You could already do multiplayer contests using link cables (or with a wireless adapter for emerald) so I dont see why not they wouldnt still be able to keep it multiplayer.
Be happy, RASFA. You are experiencing something no Australian has ever experienced before. Getting a game before someone else.
YES! I so badly want wifi contests ever since the ability to have wifi battles were introduced and every contest version in between.
not first time austrila relased it before some one else they relased it before eurpoe with bw 2
If I was actually able to a Pokemon Trainer, I would be a Coordinatior, cause it is fun.
I was just saying it in jest...
I think it would be a cool new take on competing against others online. Smogon could be the hub for meta contest sets and people would accuse us of being no fun! It'd be great! ^^
About the "mega evolutions being ancestral power theory," it doesn't make too much sense, because it has a glaring hole: Mewtwo can mega evolve, and there is only one Mewtwo. Mew wouldn't count; she can't mega evolve anyway.
Anyway, as for important trainers being able to mega evolve, I think it would only make sense for the one gym leader to be able to mega evolve would be our player character's father, Norman. The game has always treated the battle with Norman as one of the most important gym battles, as it is a battle of Father against son/daughter. It would only make sense for his final, signature Pokemon to be able to mega evolve, as a final test to see if his kid is ready to really face the world. Plus, if Norman's signature Pokemon mega evolved, the battle would actually offer a decent challenge, what with his signature Pokemon's new ability and all.

Well technically Australia was the first country to get XY...
Please, it's hard enough to realize that Kyogre will now likely piss at the Whole game (even more than before), we might not survive to 770 BST Mold Breaker Slaking.
It loses its grass and ice weaknesses, which are arguably more problematic in ubers than the double 4x water weakness (not that it was going to survive them in the first place) and the new ground weakness.
I know it's not going to happen but imagine if Primal Groudon gets Dry Skin, that would be the ultimate middle finger for Kyogre.
As for the other 2 Primal devolutions, I would say Rayquaza is a given and pretty much any legendary that has the standard "ancient legendary pokemon that controls/represents X" is a possible candidate. Assuming they're saving Primal Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and Arceus for the Gen 4 remakes and Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem for the Gen 5 ones, I think Regigigas would make sense since we're going to revisit the original locations of the Regi trio.

Neither did the first few X Y trailers.
Increase Defense/Speed, new ability: Justified.
Yeah, but gets more damages from Stealth Rock, and Rock in general, and is now weak to EQ. And if it doesn't get a SpDef buff, Ice and Grass will still hurt. I don't know, it's kinda of a mixed bag. He finally gets STAB Eruption/Fire Punch, but I don't know if it's really worthy in Ubers, considering all the Dragons and Kyogre there.
The main nieche I can think on the moment is a Xerneas/Primal Groudon(/???) core, with the latter removing all the possible Steel and Poison types on the way of the first.
BTW, why the heck doesn't Kyogre get the Electric Type? Would be more balanced against Groudon (even though probably STAB 100% accurate Thunder would make him even more OP than already).
