Update: Added more screenshots. The Japanese page also reveals new character Girii, who is the Super-Secret Bases master.

A new/returning feature has been revealed for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire: “Super-Secret Bases”.

In the 3DS remakes, players can create a Secret Base all to their own. You’ll be able to select and place Decorations, use Decorations to create tricks in your Secret Base, decide the rules for what kind of Pokemon battles are allowed there, and make it like your very own Pokemon Gym. Players can challenge you here as well.

First screenshots from the Super-Secret Bases can be found above. An official post from the Pokemon website with a bunch of additional information is located below.

A user over on NeoGAF has noticed some obscure wording in a couple of the press releases for the upcoming Pokemon titles pertaining to the release of the game in the United States and Canada. The Canadian ORAS site has a listing of November 2014 vs. the US site which has a concrete November 21st release. Additionally, many of the press releases regarding the release have specified that release date is coming to the United States against the usual inclusion of the region. Check out the posts below and let us know what you think:

In the press releases I’ve got, they have rather emphasised the date as being for the US

Tuesdays:

E3 has begun and The Pokémon Company International just announced that Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, which both take place in the beautiful Hoenn region, are launching in the United States on November 21, 2014.

Wednesdays:

Sableye is a Pokémon that was first discovered in the Hoenn region, which is now confirmed as the location for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, both launching for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems in the United States on November 21, 2014.

Todays:

The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo announced more details today about the new Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire video games, launching in the United States November 21, 2014, for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

Many people thought this was an error, but my friend at PLDH got this response from TPCi earlier today



So it’s worrying. It appears Canada and Europe are excluded from the worldwide launch.
