The player character begins their Pokémon Trainer journey by saving Professor Birch, the leading scientist in the Hoenn region, from a wild Pokémon, choosing either Treecko, Torchic or Mudkip to defend him. The player arrives with their parents at the family's new home in the village of Littleroot Town, on the southern edge of the main island. The player character starts by moving to the Hoenn region from the Johto region with their mother, as their father Norman has been hired as the leader of the Petalburg City Gym.
They begin as the player is seen riding in the back of a moving truck. The setting and story of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are largely the same as the original Ruby and Sapphire games.
These spots feature Pokémon not otherwise available in the Hoenn region, as well as numerous legendary Pokémon from previous generations. When flying around on Latios or Latias players may encounter "mirage spots". The games introduced new features including Primal Reversion for Groudon and Kyogre, as well as using Latios or Latias to fly around Hoenn. They also retain most of the features of Pokémon X and Y, such as Mega Evolution and Super Training. Though Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of games from the third generation, they retain changes made in later generations, such as the type split from the fourth generation and unlimited TM usage and triple battles from the fifth generation. As of 31 March 2021, the games have sold 14.39 million copies worldwide.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire received generally positive reviews from critics. Announced in May 2014, the games were released in Japan, North America and Australia on 21 November 2014, exactly twelve years after the original release date of Ruby and Sapphire, while the European release was the following week.
