Pokémon Omega Ruby version and Alpha Sapphire version have just been released worldwide, and as such the old ORAS pre-release thread will be locked within shortly.
We mods have noticied that said thread has beed practically flooded with simple questions concerning general ORAS stuff, and people providing simple answers (which is great), so it seems that a separate thread dedicated to SQSA is an obvious candidate for succeeding the pre-release thread.
So, yeah, post your simple questions here, and people will hopefully answer them.
But first, allow me to list some Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Are legendary Pokémon in Mirage Spots shiny locked?
A: No.
Q: But what about after that patch? Did that patch shiny lock them?
A: No.
Q: Will Groudon/Kyogre/Deoxys respawn if I knock it out during my first encounter?
A: Yes, just beat the Elite Four and they will appear again. Deoxys appears at Sky Pillar.
Q: My newly caught/hatched/traded Pokémon has an [nature here] nature and [IVs here] IVs? Should I keep it?
A: Practically anything goes for in-game. Keep whatever you get, if your goal is just to just get through the game. If you want to use the Pokémon in a competitive setting, go ask the question in the SQSA thread in the Wi-Fi forum. This is not the place for it.
Q: When soft-resetting for Legendaries, what natures/Hidden Powers should I aim for?
A: This post by Karxrida tells you everything you need to know. Don't forget to give it a Like!
Q: How do I find the Creation Trio orbs and the Arceus plates? I know they are underwater, but where?
A: Kurona knows.
Q: Where do I find the various items (Inc: Balls, Evolutionary Items, Misc', Recovery, Battle Items, Fossils, Hold Items, Mega Stones and Key Items)?
A: See Here (External link to serebii.net)
Q: Where do I find TMs and HMs?
A: See TM's+HM's (External link to Bulbapedia)
