Secret Bases confirmed for Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire

Can be shared through QR codes.

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.

Look forward to building your own Super-Secret Base—and visiting your friends’ Super-Secret Bases—in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, launching this November!

make your own gyms you say?

Was thinking of having this be the first pokemon game I've skipped out on since Platinum but that probably just changed

This was confirmed since the first images of the game were out, no? They removed one with hints of secret bases.

Nice. I wonder how it's going to work. They mention communication features so that's going to be online right? Will it be friends only?

Also the art on that page is pretty nice, is there a bigger version somewhere?

Were Secret bases cut out of Pokemon X and Y? I remember having alot of fun in Diamond and Pearl with them.
RBE secret bases are very different to DPP secret bases. GameFreak have a nasty habit of adding cool features and making them region-exclusive. Contests and secret bases should've become standard.
 
As awesome as this is, I'm still holding out hope for clothing options to return. Come onnnnnnn~~~~.

Can't wait to make some random ass bullshit gym.

This was pretty much the No. 1 most-wanted feature for these remakes and they've gone the extra mile making the bases extra spacious and ONLINE-ENABLED, and you can use them as your own personal gym. Plus, check out the different setups depending on location (nestled amongst the grass, etc), and there are tons of decorations this time. PERFECTION!

Oh man yessss! I hope you can gain experience from fighting Secret Base trainers like in R/S/E original. It ended up being the best way to grind for me.
