Story
The story mostly remains the same as in the original games. The evil team in each version (Team Magma for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Team Aqua for Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, as in the originals) is seeking to revive the "super-ancient Pokémon" of the Hoenn region (Groudon or Kyogre) in order to change the world to suit their ideals (Team Magma to expand the land for people and Team Aqua to expand the oceans for Pokémon). The player must stop them in order to stop the ancient Pokémon from reawakening and causing havoc.
Gameplay
The original gameplay of the original Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions has mostly been updated by carrying over much of the gameplay of'Pokémon X and Y, in order to match with the gameplay of the generations succeeding the original versions. Mega Evolutions have been retained, with new ones being added. Horde encounters have also been carried over, though have been expanded upon in the form of occasional Trainer horde battles. In addition, elements that were present in the Generation III games that were removed in future generations, such as Secret Bases and Pokémon Contests, are returned here, though have been updated; Secret Bases come with a StreetPass feature, which allows other players' Secret Bases to show up in one's game, allowing players to visit them and battle their team.
In addition to the new features included in X and Y such as the Player Search System, Pokémon-Amie, and Super Training, other features have been added, including a map viewer that allows players to look up trainers, Pokémon, Secret Bases, and locations on the map screen; and DexNav, which allows players to find specific Pokémon in their current location.
