Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Super-Secret Bases Detailed

Players can create, customize, and share their own personal lairs.

The upcoming Pokémon remakes Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are bringing back Secret Bases, a concept first introduced in the original Ruby and Sapphire, according to a new post on the series' official site.

Now known as Super-Secret Bases, these hideouts can be decorated and personalized with tricks. Players can also set rules to determine the types of battles allowed in the Base. These options come together to make a player's Base tantamount to his or her own Gym.

Super-Secret Bases can be shared via QR Code. While visiting others' Bases, players can scout, battle, and befriend their owners, with the option to bring them back to their own Bases and become Secret Pals with them. Base owners' Secret Pals will populate their hideouts, and visitors can talk to or battle them. Players can continue to battle with Secret Pals, but they can also get them to help out through the use of "special skills" during the game.

There's a capture-the-flag component to all this, as well. When visiting a Super-Secret Base, one can take the owner's flag. Each day, up to one flag can be obtained per base visited. Over time, collecting more flags leads to a higher rank, rewards, and improved skills for Secret Pals.

Players will get to experience all this Super-Secret fun and more when Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hit stores worldwide on November 21.

If you get experience from Secret Base fights, I'm gonna break this game the minute it's possible.

Everybody should do 6 level 100 Blisseys with 0 IVs and EVs in HP, Def, and SpD with only Heal Pulse as a move.

How did they get to turn 1521 without Slowbro running out of PP?

Recycle and a leppa berry :smug:

That has got to be the best/worst Pokemon moveset ever created.

Heal Pulse + Healing Wish, and holding Toxic Orbs. 50% chance they'll faint themselves, 50% chance they'll try to heal you, guaranteed faint in six turns no matter what. ALL OF THE EXPERIENCE.

Of course, I won't be able to do this on worldwide launch day because as it stands, I won't have a copy until the 30th because a store in Newfieland broke street date by eleven days.

Mother of god... why in the world is that not banned to Ubers yet? Or at least the use of Leppa berry on Slowbro?

pokepal148Spencer Johnson, Contributing WriterJuly 11, 2014

It already was by smogon,

Best part is people complained about it being banned.

OblivionJuly 11, 2014

Oh, it was? Guess that shows you how little I've been paying attention in the new Gen.
