This demo for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire was distributed to selected as a Nintendo eShop download code around the globe through various means such as Nintendo Club newsletters and gaming magazines.
It includes exclusive scenarios, starting with the male trainer named Orlando as he accompanies Steven on an island in order to protect a mega-evolving Pokémon from Team Magma and Team Aqua. Steven gives one of the three level 35 Hoenn region starter Pokémon: Combusken, Grovyle and Marshtomp, which will battle the Team Magma and Aqua goons’ Pokémon, as well as wild ones and the mega-evolving one, which will be either Glalie or Steelix depending on the player’s region, that must be captured in order to finish the scenario.
Replaying the game will bring the player back at Mossdeep City, from where Steven will initiate new scenarios that can be replayed. Some of the items acquired in the demon can be transferred to the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire games through the Pokémon Link feature. Such items, including the mega-evolving Pokémon and Poké Ball sets, become available by playing the demo multiple times.
