Pokemon Omega Ruby

Game mechanics

Just like the original game, Pokemon Omega Ruby doesn’t introduce many novelties compared to the second generation of the series. However, there are numerous features that were introduced in over ten years that had ed between the releases of both games. Developers from Game Freak offered the same region called Hoenn, with new places and pokemon species, including Fairy types introduced in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y. As usual, some creatures can only be caught in Pokemon Omega Ruby or Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, encouraging players to trade with each other to complete their collection. There are also powerful legendary pokemon, including the cover of this game – Groudon. What’s more, a few creatures received their own Mega Evolution – temporary transformations that greatly raise their battle potential. Groudon itself obtained the power of Primal Reversion.

Aside from that, Pokemon Omega Ruby brings other features introduced in previous games from the series, like the ability to raise pokemon affection, new methods of evolving creatures into new forms and some changes to battle mechanics.

Technical aspects

One of the most noteworthy novelties in Pokemon Omega Ruby is a new engine, firstly used in Pokemon Y and Pokemon X. Two-dimensional sprites have been replaced by 3D locations and models. Pokemon have been given a completely new life, with both idle and attacking animations.
