Welcome to Contest-of-the-Week! With the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on the horizon, the attention of Pokémon fans everywhere turns to Hoenn, and all the cool and interesting Pokemon that live there.
Every week, we'll be looking at a few of the many Pokémon you'll meet along your journey through the Hoenn region, and asking for your opinions on them and how they stack up next to their counterparts or rival Pokemon looking to fill the same spot on your team.

After defeating Wattson, you will be able to use Rock Smash to clear a path to Route 112 and continue your journey north. A fierce sandstorm in the desert stretch of Route 112 prevents you from travelling that way for the time being, so the only way to go is through the Fiery Path. The Fire/Ground camel Numel is relatively common, and well worth catching if you don't have a Fire type. It's counterpart Carvanha won't be available for some time, but if you're playing Sapphire you'll be facing its evolved form in battle before too long.
The evolved forms of these Pokemon are notable for several reasons. They are both dual typed, used by the leaders of both evil teams in the Hoenn region and as revealed this week, they are also receiving mega evolutions in ORAS. The two share balanced offences, though Camerupt is slow and leans more toward special attacks while Sharpedo hits harder physically but also possesses death-wish defences.
Which Pokemon you prefer, and why?
-Which has the better design?
-Which one is easier to train?
-Which is more useful throughout the game?
-Which do you think will be better in ORAS?
-Which is more useful in the competitive environment?
-Which mega evolution do you like more?
Let the contest begin!
Next week: Torkoal vs Magcargo
