Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (ポケットモンスター オメガルビー&アルファサファイア, Poketto Monsutā Omega Rubī & Arufa Safaia) are two video games slated for release for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console. They are remakes of the 2002 Game Boy Advance video games Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. The games were revealed on May 7, 2014, in a teaser trailer released by Nintendo.
Development
Fans had been speculating about remakes of Ruby and Sapphire for years, most notably seeing references to the games and their region, Hoenn, in the 2013 predecessors Pokémon X and Y. In fact, "Hoenn Confirmed" has even become a meme accompanying speculation. The only detailed information given is that the new games will "take the players through a dramatic story within a spectacular new world".
Nintendo announced the games in a press release on May 7, 2014. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will be released worldwide in November 2014.
