For most players, the Elite Four is a place to take high level Pokemon, as they can sweep through the league with ease. Sometimes, though, you find a clever way to get through the final boss in Pokemon.

In 2014, Japan saw the release of big Pocket Monster games Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The games sold a ton in Japan, but not enough to reign supreme. A new challenger has taken the crown: Yokai Watch.

In two words: experience points. Heaps and heaps of experience points.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's creepiest moment happens so fast, most players probably miss it.

Pokémon games aren't known for being challenging. That doesn't mean you can't spice things up.

So you're interested in a new Pokémon game. Except there are technically two new Pokémon games. Which do you get?

Maybe you're in it for the cute monsters. Maybe you're in it to be the very best, like no one ever was. Or maybe you want to catch em all? Whatever it is about Pokémon that speaks to you, I'm here to help you get the most out of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Just because you beat the Elite Four and become the champion of Hoenn doesn't mean Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire has nothing more to offer. If you keep playing after you beat the game, you'll have a chance to experience something wild.

In the original Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, there is a hot springs in Lavaridge Town. Players could go and soak in the steamy water with some old ladies. Lavaridge Town returns in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. So does the bathing. The grannies, it seems, do not.

It's easy to miss, but the people of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire whisper about things. Incredible things. Inexplicable things. The sorts of rumours involving legendary Pokémon that sound unbelievable, until you remember you're dealing with a video game, where there is no such thing as a tall tale.

If you're considering picking up the new Pokémon games, which launch later this week, you may want to go back into Pokémon X & Y and make sure you've done everything you can in those games first.

While the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is right around the corner, Japan's CoroCoro Comic points out that 18 more Legendary Pokemon are headed towards the 3DS remakes.
