Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (Pokemon ORAS) players get a new challenge, a Single Battle Competition, called 'Little Cup' and registration is already ongoing until May 21. The tournament starts May 22 and ends May 24. Also, Nintendo is reportedly working on a new Pokemon game set to release by Fall.

According to Serebii, players can only use unevolved Pokemon which can evolve like Charmander, Pichu, Magby, Noibat at the Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Little Cup Competition and exclude Pokemon like Charmeleon, Pinsir, Gyarados, Kangaskhan and others.

To be able to participate in the battle, all the Pokemon will have their levels lowered to Level 5. The game rules forbid to use the Eviolite item and Sonic Boom or Dragon Rage moves. All the participants in the Little Cup will be getting 1,000 PokeMiles.

Meanwhile, there's the possibility of a new Pokemon game to be released by Nintendo this year as more like a tradition annually in continuation of the Pokemon series.

Attack of the Fanboy notes that previously, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire was not revealed, though, it was rumoured, and was released on a random day without going via Nintendo Direct either.

At this time, The Legend of Zelda Wii U, Yoshi's Woolly World, Mario Maker, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Fatal Frame and Star Fox are in Nintendo's pipeline for the year. Whether this rumored 3DS title will be showcased at E3 2015 remains to be seen next month. Game pundits speculate that it's the best time and platform for Nintendo to unveil a new Pokemon game.

The likelihood of Nintendo releasing a follow-up game for Pokemon X and Y like Yellow, Crystal, Emerald or Platinum; or sequels like Black 2 and White 2 is being predicted. Another thing is that the publisher might reveal a console arena Pokemon game like Pokemon Stadium or Pokemon Coliseum. including chances that Pokken Tournament might get ported to Wii U.

The new Pokemon game is seen to be out by Fall as well as the possibility of seeing the release of Pokemon Amiibos similar to the ones being released for Super Smash Bros.

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire fans need to only wait barely a month and find out what new Pokemon game that Nintendo has in the baket at E3 2015 this June.
