While the trailer focused mostly on battles, the game has clearly gone from its original sprites to fully 3D models, just like the recent Pokémon X and Y. Also shown were the Primal versions of Groudon and Kyogre.

The current release date is slated for November 21.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are available for pre-order on Amazon:
