How to Start a New Game on Pokemon Omega Ruby

Ready to dive into the exciting world of Hoenn again? Starting a new adventure in Pokémon Omega Ruby is like opening a brand new box of crayons – so many possibilities! Whether you’re a returning trainer looking to relive the magic or a new player eager to explore, this guide will walk you through every step of starting your game. It’s easy, fun, and the beginning of an awesome journey!

Getting Ready to Play

Before you can become the very best, like no one ever was, there are a few things you need to check. Think of it like packing your bag for a big trip – you want to make sure you have everything you need before you go!

Checking Your Nintendo 3DS

• Fully Charged: Make sure your Nintendo 3DS is fully charged. You don’t want your adventure to end suddenly because of a low battery!
• Game Cartridge: Double-check that your Pokémon Omega Ruby game cartridge is properly inserted into the 3DS game slot. It should click gently into place.
• Sound: You might want to use headphones for more immersion, but ensure you have sound on if you want to hear the game’s music and sound effects.

Starting the Game for the First Time

Okay, everything’s ready! Now, let’s get that game started! This part is super simple, but it’s the start of your big adventure!

Powering On Your 3DS

First, press the power button on your Nintendo 3DS. It’s usually located on the right side of the bottom screen. The system will light up, and you’ll see the Nintendo 3DS logo appear on the top screen. If it’s not turning on, make sure that it is charged.

Selecting Pokémon Omega Ruby

Once your 3DS is on, the home screen will appear. Using your stylus or your finger, touch the Pokémon Omega Ruby icon. It’s probably a picture of a Groudon on the icon with the name of the game. Tapping the icon will start the game.

The first time you load up the game there may be some downloading or updates, which you should do before starting a new game.

Navigating the Opening Sequence

Every great game has a beginning, and Pokémon Omega Ruby is no different! The beginning cutscenes will draw you into the story and world of Hoenn. The opening sequence might be the most exciting part for some players! Let’s go through it together.

The Professor Birch Introduction

As you start the game, you’ll be greeted by Professor Birch, the Pokémon professor of the Hoenn region. He’ll give you a brief introduction to the world of Pokémon and the importance of your role as a trainer. Professor Birch will talk about all sorts of cool stuff about Pokemon, which may be useful later. Be sure to pay attention as he explains the world to you! It’s like a tutorial of the pokemon world.

Setting Your In-Game Time

The next part is setting up your in-game clock. The game will ask you if you wish to adjust your clock with your current system settings, you may want to adjust it if you haven’t set up your system time, but it is not necessary to begin the game. This step might be skipped, if your system settings were already good.

Starting a New Save File

Now it’s time to make it your very own! This is where you will be creating your unique adventure in the Hoenn region.

Choosing Your Language

First, the game will ask you to choose your language. Select the language you feel most comfortable playing in. It will likely be English if you are reading this article, but feel free to change it.

Naming Your Character

Time for the fun part – naming your trainer! The game will ask you if you are a boy or a girl and then prompt you to enter your name. Think of a cool name that you will be happy with for a long time, because that will be your name for the rest of the game. You can use your real name, a nickname, or even a completely made-up one! Be creative! Remember, this is YOUR character, so name them whatever you want.

Choosing Your Rival’s Name

Next, you will be asked to name your rival. This character will be someone you battle with and against throughout the game, so it should be a name you will recognize and feel comfortable with. You can name your rival after someone you know or even come up with another name.

The First Steps in Littleroot Town

Your journey truly begins in a small town called Littleroot Town. It’s where you will start learning about the world of pokemon and your adventure starts from your very own home! This is where the adventure starts!

Arriving in Littleroot

After watching some cutscenes about moving into Littleroot Town, you will find yourself in your new home. You will be in your room, with a lot of moving boxes, and other items. This is your starting point in the game, and this is where the real adventure starts!

Exploring Your New House

Take a little time to check out your room. You can walk around and look at things. Talk to your Mom, who is also in the house. She will give you a few pointers about the town.

Meeting Professor Birch

After talking to your Mom, she will suggest you go and check out what’s happening with Professor Birch. He’s having a bit of a problem in the wild! You’ll find Professor Birch’s lab is located just north of your home. Go outside and then go north of your home and you will find a building with a sign. You can enter the building to find Professor Birch.

Professor Birch is in trouble, and he needs you to save him. After you meet with him in the lab, he will call you to go help him in route 101, where you will find him getting attacked by a wild Poochyena.

Choosing Your First Pokémon

Now it’s time for the really exciting part – choosing your very first Pokémon! Professor Birch will ask you to select a Pokémon from his bag to save him from the Poochyena. You can choose between three cool Pokemon:

• Treecko: A Grass-type Pokémon. He’s fast and a good choice for those who like speedy attacks.
• Torchic: A Fire-type Pokémon. It’s a fiery friend that’s excellent for tough battles.
• Mudkip: A Water-type Pokémon. He’s a sturdy little guy who’s great for all-around training.

Choose the Pokemon you like the most, and get ready for your first battle! Keep in mind this pokemon will be a big part of your team and will stay with you for a large portion of the game.

After the battle, Professor Birch will congratulate you and bring you back to his lab. He will tell you to go and find his son or daughter in the next town, Oldale Town. This will be the beginning of your journey in Pokemon Omega Ruby!

The First Battle and Starting Your Journey

Now that you have your first Pokemon, it is time for your very first battle. You will be asked to battle a wild Poochyena, which is not that hard. With this battle, you will gain your first experience on how to battle and how to use your pokemon’s moves. This is a tutorial battle to help you learn about the battle system in the game.

Navigating Route 101

After the first battle and getting your Pokemon, you can now explore the area and begin your adventure. The next location to get to is Oldale town, where you will find Professor Birch’s son or daughter. Route 101 is a small path on the west side of Littleroot town, and it connects to Oldale Town. It is the first of many different routes you will encounter throughout your play through. Explore the route and find any items that might be hidden along the way.

Arriving at Oldale Town

Once you arrive at Oldale town, you will notice that is a small town with a Pokemon Center, where you can heal your Pokemon. You will also notice that in the town there will be a few people, who you will be able to interact with. Also located in this town, there will be a building where you will be able to meet Professor Birch’s son or daughter, where they will give you more information to help you get to the next goal of the game.

Continuing Your Pokemon Journey

From Oldale Town, you will then go to Route 103, which is located north of the town. Your adventure will then go all over the Hoenn region! By this point you will now be able to play through the game by yourself without any more guidance. The world is yours to explore!
