We’ve seen Pokémon announcements come in many forms since Pokémon X&Y were first announced last January, but this one came without warning. Below, you can see a YouTube teaser clip for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire—coming to Nintendo 3DS worldwide in November of this year.

I’m sure Nintendo will announce more about these games and show footage when E3 rolls around in just a few short weeks. We have these newly announced games to look forward to, and even more to speculate for the future of Pokémon. Things are looking pretty good for dedicated fans!

Are you all excited to go back to Hoenn? Be sure to let us know!
