No, I haven't. I don't have the money to buy it off the Nintendo Store. I'll have to tough it out till release day.:o

I already have an account on there but since it's older I won't get the new sign up bonus. I did it so I could register my fifth generation Black and White games.

Also try this one... nintendolife.com/news/2014/10/download_pokemon_omega_ruby_and_alpha_sapphire_special_demo_version

It's UK exclusive, I live in Canada...

Sorry, just saw the free demo & linked it

Thanks for trying though, I'll have to wait until November then.

Finally got my ORAS demo code!! I got all the goodies except the Nugget. Still waiting for those secret missions to pop up so I can get everything. Got me a nice Mega Glalie though.

It would be too much to create an MMO for Pokemon since their target audience is kids. That seems more like a teen and adult thing than somethign kids would be interested in playing.

A new Pokemon anime short came out just for Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, similar to the one that came out for Black 2/White 2. Currently in Japanese only though.

Video here:

As the game is out now for most of the world, much more info is becoming available, though I'll try and avoid story/etc spoilers if I can. Version exclusives have been updated from what we previously knew.

serebii.net/omegarubyalphasapphire/exclusives.shtml
Omega Ruby: Seedot/Nuzleaf/Shiftry, Mawile, Zangoose, Solrock, Groudon, Palkia, Throh, Tornadus, Reshiram, Skrelp/Dragalge, Ho-Oh, Latios?
New!: Kabuto/Kabutops, Shieldon/Bastiodon and Archen/Archeops fossils are exclusive to this version, but can be traded over.
New!: West Sea (Pink/Brown) Shellos/Gastrodon is exclusive to this version.

Alpha Sapphire: Lotad/Lombre/Ludicolo, Sableye, Seviper, Lunatone, Kyogre, Dialga, Sawk, Thundurus, Zekrom, Clauncher/Clawitzer, Lugia, Latias?
New!: Omanyte/Omastar, Cranidos/Rampardos and Tirtouga/Carracosta fossils are exclusive to this version, but can be traded over.
New!: East Sea (Blue/Green) Shellos/Gastrodon is exclusive to this version.

You definitely get given a Latios or Latias depending on your chosen version, though it's not known fully yet if the other one is in the same game.

Also apparently Surfing seems faster and the encounter rate while Surfing seems much lower.

Using the DexNav, as far as I can tell, any random encounter Pokemon can be found with it's Hidden Ability.
