Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire- CoroCoro Reveals

The next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the upcoming game Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. In this latest image, it shows Mega Diancie and reveals to us its ability. Mega Diancie has got the ability Magic Bounce. It also confirms that next month's issue, due for release on August 12th, will have what they're calling a "Mega Evolution Scoop". We'll bring more when it comes.

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Details

The Pokémon Company International has sent out a release detailing more about the news that has come this past week. In this release, it shows footage of Mega Metagross confirmed to have Tough Claws, as well as the reveal of the Pikachu appearences: Pikachu Belle, Pikachu Rock Star, Pikachu Pop Star, Pikachu Ph. D, Pikachu Libre.
Edit @ 15:15: More details on Mega Evolutions. Mega Diancie receives a big boost to its Speed, as well as boosts to its Attack and Sp. Atk, while experiencing a reduction in its Defense and Sp. Def. 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

I'm looking forward to a new Mystery Dungeon game. >_>

Diancie turns into a sweeper, huh. That first-turn 50 speed after megaing is a pretty bad drawback though

Hopefully one where we can actually play as all 700+ Pokémon ._.
Trash Boat
some Pokémon are just too big and heavy to have integrated Levitation, so my guess is that Mega Metagross ability is Heavy Metal or something
bmin11
It's Tough Claw. Its speed greatly increases while all its other stats increase a bit as well. The stat bit is not confirmed though.

Something's bothering me: will we be able to save different Super Secret Base layouts/teams and have multiple QR codes, or will we only be allowed one per game/system? If it's the former, I have a great idea for one of my teams that people can fight against (though I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one who thought of it), but if it's the latter... I don't think I'll be getting both games anytime around the release.

Mega Salamence more like devolved Salamence
Lanturn
Lopunny is from Gen 4. This means we'll hopefully be seeing other generation megas... Like Lanturn.. please.. gamefreak ;_;

Mega Altaria, Dragon Fairy is going to be really interesting. I kind of want one now :3

Edit: Holy crap. it took me forever to notice Mega Salamence actually had wings.. in the shape of a crescent moon. Crazy

Oh god i dident even notice.

Mega Salamence would of looked a bit better if they had kept his arms and gone with a better design for the wings :(
NaomiMinette
Bit disappointed in this reveal, but at the same time I figured Salamence would get a Mega Evolution (just not... that look...). Anyway, the rest of the info:

The next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the upcoming game Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. This image furthers yesterdays and showcases more about Pokémon Contests. It shows the in-game images of the Contest Hall, details how Feebas's evolution is based on contests, and confirms that you can Mega Evolve during the contests, which boosts the Excite Meter & Appeal in the Contests, but can only be done when the Excite Meter is full.

...Did I just read "Contest Evolution"? ._.

a.k.a. gen 3 and 4
NaomiMinette
I wouldn't mind if it was just from PokéBlocks/Poffins, but actually involving Contests? Ugh...

I mean, I already have two Milotic and all, but forcing people to do Contests just to get one... I'd rather farm Prism Scales in Gen V.

That is euhm... intresting.

For some reason, I actually for some reason kinda enjoyed the contests from Gen 3. It was the different events in the later generations that were boring for me.

But I'm just weird, so...

Don't worry. You aren't the only one who enjoyed the contests.
Azure_Kite
I wonder whether glass secret base items are going to be a thing again, and, if so, whether the prices for the larger ornaments will be adjusted.

I remember spending hours with max repels, making the most efficient path through route 114 to nab as much soot as possible. Fun times. With the advent of streetpass being more accessible, I think it would be funny to keep them as hard to obtain as they were.

I actually did enjoy preparing for and doing them back then. I can't say for sure I'll like them now, though...

The fact that I (still) had OCD back them drove me crazy trying to get the "best paths", but I'll admit I kinda had fun doing all of that collecting. Too bad the music on that Route wasn't fitting...
Azure_Kite
I think I got it down to only needing one extra step on the largest patch of grass, and that's only because it was shaped weirdly.
NaomiMinette
It was like a sideways T, right? If so, then yeah... I had to do the same >_>

EDIT: Official video footage:

The last link Blaze posted makes it pretty clear that this is a special Pikachu. As such, it's probably going to be the only one.
