Update File Size Omega Ruby?

Question

What's the file size of all the updates in Omega Ruby individually and over all combined? I wanna know this because if it is too big, I will use a different wifi than I usually do

Comments

Why would you want to know this?

---

Because the internet here in the philippines is really slow. If the size is that big, then I'm gonna have to buy some data and readjust my money

---

Understandable. I do not have an answer for you at this time, but I may in the future if the data is obtainable. Is this a fresh, un-updated copy of the game?

---

Not entirely sure. I wasn't the one who bought this and it is a used game. I just assumed this has not been updated once just to be safe

---

The file size for Pokemon Omega Ruby is 14,395 blocks, or 1.8 Gigabytes.

That's the file size of the original ROM, not the update data the question is asking for.

---

@Sarvitar You will need to download the update either way. Update data is not loaded onto the cartridge; it's a patch that is stored in the system memory.

---

oops :/

---

More importantly, if I update the game, will it damage my save file?

---

I can answer that no it will not do it any harm.

@StellarLucario thanks. Guess I'll just update this game

Between November 25th 2014 and April 23rd 2015, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire received 4 patch updates, each 271 blocks in size. Added up it's 1,084 blocks, or 135.5 MB. However, it's more likely that each patch replaced the last (since they're all the same size), so buying the base game now and then updating it will probably only require 271 blocks, or 33.8 MB.
