Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. They are mostly compatible with {{g|X and Y}}, with the exception of alternate forms, Mega Evolutions, moves, or Abilities introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which cannot be traded to or used in battle with X and Y. | Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website.
