After being featured in CoroCoro Comics, and with Serabii.net's translation, fans now know new details about the "Pokémon Omega Ruby" and "Pokémon Alpha Sapphire."

Trainers will have a more definitive gameplay as they can "fly" across the Pokémon borders from one region to the next.

Latios (exclusive to Omega Ruby) and Latias (exclusive to Alpha Sapphire) went into Mega Evolutions to become Mega Latios and Mega Latias. Although the two are exclusive to the separate titles, trainers can collect both Mega versions with the use of event codes. Serabii points out that islands where legendary Pokémons dwell can only be reached when trainers fly to them. Using the Eon Flute item, players can soar to these islands, enabling them to capture one. So with a ride on either Mega Latios or Mega Latias, trainers can battle and explore the overworld while enjoying great finds such as Dialga, Zekrom, Palkia and Reshiram.

CoroCoro also revealed Mega Pidgeot and Mega Beedrill. The former is a Normal/Flying-type with the No Guard ability while the latter is a Bug/Poison-type with Adaptability.

Serabii describes "Pokémon Omega Ruby" and "Pokémon Alpha Sapphire" as "a new take" on the 2003 "Pokémon Ruby" and "Pokémon Sapphire" games. The games were much-loved on the Game Boy Advance system. After more than a decade, the fresher titles have evolved, and they are to come with a wonderful tale, "a dramatic story" waiting to be explored.

"Pokémon Omega Ruby" and "Pokémon Alpha Sapphire" are unique remakes in a sense that they have not completely stuck to its roots. The two were injected with a brand new concept called the Primal Reversion which will revolve around legendary Pokémon Groudon & Kyogre.

Following the success of "Pokémon X and Y," Nintendo strives to make the new titles a hit. Pokémon lovers can get the "Pokémon Omega Ruby" and "Pokémon Alpha Sapphire" on their Nintendo 3DS on Nov. 21.
