The Pokemon Company has just a news burst of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire goodness. Included in the news is a swarm of new Mega Evolved Pokemon, costumes for Pikachu and the announcement of a bonus Pokemon if you pick up the game early.

The news comes in the form a new trailer where Mega Salamanca, Mega Lopunny and Mega Altaria. Does anyone remember when Pokemon just evolved naturally? The Hoenn region Pokemon Contests are getting a makeover as well and a new prize. Once you have complete the contest for the first time you’ll get a Cosplay Pikachu.

This is a special Pikachu that has moves that no normal Pikachu can usually learn. For example, Pikachu Rock Star knows the Steel-type move Meteor Mash, and Pikachu Pop Star can use Draining Kiss in battle, a Fairy-type move that is effective against Dragon-type Pokémon. Pikachu, Ph.D., can learn the Electric-type move Electric Terrain, while Pikachu Belle learns the beautiful Ice-type move Icicle Crash. Last but not least, Pikachu Libre can battle with Flying Press, a powerful Fighting-type move.

After the game is released on November 21st you’ll be able to (for a limited time) receive a Shiny Beldum which holds a Mega Stone. This Beldum can be evolved into a Metagross which is also shiny, a Shiny Mega Metagross. Whew.

Oh and horde battles are returning. Fabulous.
