When Does Pokemon Omega Ruby Come Out

Okay, picture this: It's 2014. The Ice Bucket Challenge is all the rage (remember pouring freezing water on your head?), and everyone's talking about this little game called Pokemon. Not just any Pokemon, though. We're talking about a return to Hoenn!

Remembering the Good Old Days

Specifically, we're buzzing about Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. These weren't just any remakes; they were like getting your favorite childhood toy, but shinier and with better batteries! The burning question? When were we actually going to get our hands on them?

I remember checking the internet daily, like a kid counting down the sleeps until Christmas. It felt like forever. Every news update, every trailer, was like a little piece of candy to keep us going!

The Big Day (or Month!)

So, when did the magic actually happen? Mark your calendars (or, I guess, check your digital archives), because Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire launched in November 2014. A glorious November, I might add!

Different regions got it at slightly different times, of course. It's like when your friend gets a new game a day before you – the agony! But fear not, everyone got their chance to explore Hoenn again soon enough.

If you lived in Japan, you got it on November 21st. Lucky ducks! The rest of us had to wait just a little bit longer.

The Global Release Rush!

North America, Australia, and South Korea all got the game on November 21st as well. Clearly November 21st was the day everyone wanted the game to be released on.

Europe had to wait until November 28th. An extra week! But hey, good things come to those who wait, right? At least, that's what we told ourselves to cope with the excruciating delay.

"Waiting for Pokemon Omega Ruby felt like an eternity. Like waiting for dial-up internet to connect!"

Think about it: You're probably reading this on a device that can instantly access the entire world's knowledge. Imagine going back to 2014 and having to actually wait for something to download! Now, think about waiting for Pokemon Omega Ruby on dial-up internet. Scary stuff.

Why All the Excitement?

Why were we all so hyped? First off, nostalgia is a powerful drug. Seeing Hoenn brought to life with updated graphics was enough to get anyone excited.

And then you have the gameplay, the new Mega Evolutions, and the revamped storyline. It was like rediscovering a classic, but with all the modern bells and whistles! Everything about it just seemed so cool at the time.

Plus, let's be honest: catching Pokemon is just plain fun. No matter your age.

Reliving the Adventure

So, there you have it! November 2014 was the month Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire took the world by storm. A time of joy, wonder, and countless hours spent leveling up our favorite pocket monsters.

If you haven't played them yet, do yourself a favor and give them a try. It's like stepping back into a simpler time, when all you had to worry about was choosing the right starter Pokemon. Good times, indeed.

Now if you excuse me, I think I might just go find my old 3DS…
