Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Will Get New Plotline Concerning Mega Evolutions
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is only a few weeks away from the U.S. release and it's been highly anticipated by Pokemon fans around the world, especially those who played the original Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon games for the Gameboy Advance.
In the meantime, there's some questions as to what new features awaits for those who have already played the original Ruby and Sapphire games, considering that they already know the story.
Aside from the fact that the game will be getting brand new visuals, there will also be a new plot surrounding the Mega Evolutions. Game director Shigeru Ohmori explains that most parts of the original narrative have been revisited by the team to provide added depth.

"If we just do a remake and update the graphics and keep everything the same, that wouldn't be very interesting," says Ohmori. "It's still the same general scenario, but we've gone back and given it a lot more context and added certain elements to it."
"Obviously, an element that didn't exist with the originals was the concept of mega evolutions. One of the main parts of the story this time around is exploring the origins and the mystery of mega evolution, and that really takes center stage," he adds.
Looking for wild Pokemon is now easier with the Area Nav feature where it shows you all available Pokemon on any given route. Secret bases have also made their return to the game and players can customize the layout of the base to their liking. In the game, secret bases can be visited by other players online to challenge the base's owner, much like how Pokemon gyms function.
