Nintendo has revealed yet more information about their upcoming Pokemon game.

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire for the Nintendo 3DS family are set for a November 21 release.

A remake of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, the latest Pokemon adventure adds new features such as Mega Evolutions, Super-Secret Bases, and Pokemon Contest Spectaculars.

Nintendo has been releasing details about the upcoming Mega Evolutions, and the latest to take a bow is Mega Audino.

Mega Audino Mega Evolves from Audino, a new Normal type Pokemon. Audino belongs in the category of Hearing Pokemon, and either Healer or Regenerator Abilities.

As per Nintendo’s description: “Audino touches others with the feelers on its ears, using the sound of their heartbeats to tell how they are feeling or when an Egg might hatch into a Pokémon.”

When the trainer holds a Key Stone and gives Audino the appropriate Mega Stone, Audino will Mega Evolve into Mega Audino.

Mega Audino is a Normal/Fairy type Pokemon, has the Healer ability regardless of what ability the Audino had, and receives a boost in Defense and Sp. Defense.

Nintendo has also released more details about Cosplay Pikachu.

This particular Pikachu is a “star Pokémon that’s wildly popular in Pokémon Contest Spectaculars.” It is recognizable by a heart-shaped mark on its tail.

Cosplay Pikachu gets to change costumes at any Contest Hall. The player can also put on a special costume. 

There are five types of attire Cosplay Pikachu can dress up in, namely, Rock Star, Ph.D., Pop Star, Belle, and Libre. 

Rock Star Pikachu is capable of the move Meteor Mash; Ph.D. knows Electric Terrain; Pop Star is capable of Draining Kiss; Belle knows Icicle Crash; and Libre Pikachu can show off Flying Press.
