Super-Secret Bases are an awesome new way to express your creativity and join up with friends in the upcoming Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire games. Create a Secret Base that’s all your own, including selecting and placing Decorations however you like. You can use Decorations to create tricks in your Secret Base, decide the rules for what kind of Pokémon battles are allowed there, and make it like your very own Pokémon Gym! Then get ready for other players to come and challenge you!

Using communication features, it’s easy to connect with other players around the world to share your Secret Bases with one another. When you visit another player’s Secret Base, that base’s members will be hanging out there. You can talk to them or even battle them! If you find base owners that you like, you can scout them as one of your Secret Pals and bring them back to your own Secret Base. Once you’ve become Secret Pals with someone, you can continue to have Pokémon battles against them, and also have your Pal use “special skills” to support you on your adventure.

Another fun aspect of Super-Secret Bases is a capture-the-flag activity. Examine the flag beside the Secret PC in another player’s Secret Base to obtain it! You can take one flag per day from each base visited. Visit lots of Secret Bases and collect lots of flags to improve your team’s rank and get rewards, including increasing the skills of your Secret Pals. Flag colors will change based on a team’s rank, so you can tell another team’s rank at a glance—and others can tell yours!

You can share your Super-Secret Base with Trainers all over the world! Symbolize your Secret Base with a QR Code. With a QR Code, you can get the Secret Base of a particular player you’ve been wanting to visit.

To help you get started with Super-Secret Bases, you’ll meet Secret Base Expert Aarune. Aarune and his Flygon are world travelers, bursting with excitement about the Secret Base culture in the Hoenn region. This enthusiastic adventurer will teach you all about the fun of Secret Bases during your journey.

You had me at "The"

In all seriousness though, I am hella psyched about this. Holy crap this looks like it's gonna be awesome.

YUS! yesyesyes Oh my goodness, I cannot wait for November and these wonderful remakes. With the 3DS's streetpassability we can finally take advantage of the awesome idea that is secret bases!

Actually, judging by some of the screenshots, with the fully evolved Kanto Starter Dolls... I think it may be safe to say the Battle Frontier will make a return as well.

But yeah, I've been [i5cy]excited[/i5cy] about ORAS, but not quite [i5cy]hyped[/i5cy]...

The hype is here now. OOOOOHHHH MAN IS IT HERE!

Edit: looks like in the illustration that Sableye is holding a Pokeblock Machine... I think it's safe to say that the contests make a return in ORAS too.

I love the fact that you can have members for your base. Secret Bases are def the thing I'm looking forward to the most in these remakes. I want to make my own little gym and it seems like that's what they're going for if you can battle the other NPCs in there.
