Pokemon Alpha Sapphire

The Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire has not one, but two secret missions. The second was uncovered only just recently due to its incredibly small chance of appearing.

Once again, here’s the mission description from Serebii:

Even if you’ve cleared the Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire demo numerous times, you may not have experienced everything it has to offer. A secret mission has been discovered that seems to activate by chance. There aren’t any extra rewards for completing the mission, but it’s something special to try out.

Serebii posted an overview of the mission, which you can find below.

Pre-orders for the Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Dual Pack have gone live following Nintendo’s announcement earlier today. You can reserve the bundle on either Amazon or Best Buy. The Dual Pack is exclusive to these two retailers.

The Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Dual Pack is coming to North America, Nintendo has announced.

As expected, the package will contain both upcoming Pokemon titles. It will be available exclusively at Best Buy and Amazon for $79.98.

Along with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Dual Pack also includes two in-game download codes that can be redeemed for 100 Potions each.
