‘Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire’ Discoveries Include Hacked Legendaries And New Ghost Girl
For those who have been following discoveries and hacks in Pokemon games, you'd be familiar with the three Pokemons that were spotted by hacker Smealum last year. These were Hoopa, Diancie and Volcanion. For a time, they were the talk of the town, with people expecting them to appear in the lineup sometime later on.
It happened to Diancie, who turned out to have a movie of her own in relation to "Pokemon X and Y" where the Pokemon played a huge role. This time, it may be Hoopa's turn to be in the spotlight.
Kotaku has spotted a possible link of the Pokemon to the "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" title. During the demo of the title, some hackers were able to spot a curiously familiar Pokemon that seemed to look like the evolution or potential Mega Evolution of Hoopa.
The link above shows a snapshot of the hacked Pokemon, which looks like a very menacing Hoopa. For hackers who were able to grab a Hoopa, there is an event waiting for you in "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire." There are now videos that show off Hoopa's triggered event in the Pokemon marts, where players who have Hoopa are given the Prison Bottle, as seen in the video in the link. What's even more amazing is what the Prison Bottle can do to "unbound" the Hoopa.
For now, these are stories that can be enjoyed by hackers, as the Hoopa is yet to be officially released by the developer. For now, check out how other gamers are playing with the unbound Hoopa, as seen in the gameplay video below, which shows off the Hyperspace Fury power of Hoopa.
Joining the league of discoveries is the new creepy Ghost Girl in "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire." Following the Ghost Girl in the preivous game, it appears that Game Freak has also incorporated the Easter Egg finding for this year's title.
If before, the Ghost Girl was mega-creepy due to the flickering lights and the sudden appearance in an elevator behind the character, the Ghost Girl in "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" is a little more subtle. That doesn't mean that it takes away from the creepy.
The Ghost Girl can be found in the lair of Elite Four Phoebe, who is into the Ghost-Type Pokemons. Gamnesia features a gif that shows the sudden appearance of the Ghost Girl, which happens after Phoebe introduces herself. If you notice the video clip, a girl suddenly appears seated behind the chair in the background.
An even more subtle but creepier appearance can be seen an image also seen in the link. The Ghost Girl can be seen peering over the shoulder of the character. In the game, this happens when the camera goes for another angle during one of the cut-scenes.
More than that, the Ghost Girl from "Pokemon X and Y" can also be seen in Mt. Pyre in Hoenn. She also speaks the same creepy dialogue that she delivered, "No, you're not the one."
Whether or not Game Freak has any plans for these strange events is still left unanswered. Considering that these creepy instances keep appearing, they may be conserved as Easter Eggs, especially for long-time followers of the franchise.
