The much-awaited Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby will include new mega evolution Pokemon in its release date.

CoroCoro Magazine reported that the remake version of the Pokemon game will feature Mega Metagross, which is a mega evolved Pokemon that is a dual Steel/Psychic type. This means that the Pokemon is a strong opponent and its owner will be Steven Stone.

Although Nintendo has not confirmed yet, the Pokemon game will be filled with mega evolutions that were first introduced in Pokemon X and Y. The magazine also reported that the Pokedex will include Pikachu variations. Everyone is looking forward to the next issue of CoroCoro magazine on August 12 for a promising a "Mega Evolution Scoop".

Previous reports stated that the Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby versions were reported to be released on November 21, but the mega evolutions of some of the new characters may be launched in 2015. Latest reports claimed that Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby will be released alongside the successors of the Pokemon X and Y. Moreover, Typhlosion, Meganium and Feraligatr will get their mega evolution next year.

According to the official covers of the Pokemon video games, Primal Groudon will be the face of Pokemon Omega Ruby, while Pokemon Alpha Sapphire will show off Primal Kyogre. Both characters will have crucial roles in the games.

The Pokemon company and Nintendo last May announced the worldwide launch of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby in November, exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS console.

Meanwhile, Serebii combed various Japanese forums and web sites to get hold of various leaked information and photos about Pokemon. In his search, he found Mega Diancie, which will appear in Pokémon X & Y as part of a special distribution in Japan and in "Pokémon XY The Movie - The Cocoon of Destruction & Diancie". The movie is set for release on July 19.
