Don't get me wrong this is a great looking game and should be on almost every gamers lists. Well, let me rephrase that. It should be on every Pokemaniacs list. However, I've outgrown being a Pokemaniac. Sure it was good in the long run but a few things about this new version are troubling.

True, the graphics are very nice and it's about time too. The sound is nicely done and there are more creatures to collect. Very nice indeed. You can now battle two on two to a battle and that brings for a bit more gameplay. Yes this is a nice upgrade in the series indeed.

My problem with the game is that we've been doing the same thing FOREVER! Nothing in the main story has really changed at all. You still go around collecting badges and trying to catch 'em all. For growing little RPGers such as myself this theme has worn its toll.

The two on two battles, while nice are a bit...poor. I mean, the battle engine is the same. You still have the same poorly done battle animations. You still look over your pokemons shoulder and they still only twitch to attack. Being that this is on the GBA instead of the regular Gameboy now, I thought this would be much better than that. When Pokemon Gold/Silver came, it was a HUGE step above the original Red/Yellow/Blue. This one is merely a babystep from Gold/Silver/Crystal. There are only more creatures, enhanced grapchics and sound, and the two on two battles. Nothing more.

Sure there's the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" deal with this series, but well its time Pokemon did something more innovative. I'm tired of the "He's robbing a bank LET'S BATTLE HIS POKEMON AND HE'LL STOP!" This seems much too childish for me. I'm so used to getting something different from RPGs but Pokemon always seems to follow the same story which is getting boring now.

If you're a pokemaniac then get this. But I'm all Pokemoned out now. If you're a serious RPGer, then its time to put the Pokemon games down and get Golden Sun: The lost Age for your GBA rather than this.

Great Game

This game is great. There is a great variety of new Pokemon, and of course some you can't get without a trade, like in every other version. You cannot trade with the Gameboy Color versions, and you need the Gameboy Advance link cable to trade, but I don't care. It's not all new Pokemon, but you can only get one legendary Pokemon per game. The Safari Zone returns, unlike in the Crystal, Silver, or Gold vesions. The graphics are the best graphics I have ever seen on a Gameboy Advance game ever! Every Pokemon you can't get on Sapphire you can in a trade from Ruby. It is a lot more challenging than the other games, and at one point you save the Hoenn Region from a flood. I'm more into the Gameboy Pokemon games than the shows, and if you are I'd get this game. I can find nothing wrong with this game. The Pokemon League is tougher than the Pokemon League in Silver, Gold , and Crystal version. The highest level is 58. I haven't challenged the league yet but I will soon. You can get any of the stones, and unlike any other Pokemon games, you can find Professor Birch, the professor in Littleroot town, the starting town, outside his lab on Route 101. This is a great game, and a must get for any Pokemon fan.

Awsome game

Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, the downfall of pokemon

Well, I didn't think it was possible to make a poor pokemon game, but they proved me wrong. The only good thing about this game is the graphics. There are 100+ new pokemon, and once again nintendo dosen't program them all into the game, plus, 184 of the older pokemon are not in the game, and cannot be traded from older versions, forcing you into buying a cheating device to code them in. There are only 4-6 pokemon that each sapphire and ruby need to trade with each other. Plus the game gives you much more busy work than any other game I've played. Plus the map is so rediculously small, you can get through the entire island in 15 minutes after you beat all the gyms. The two constants I noticed in this game is that there are a lot of water pokemon, and almost every pokemon can confuse another. If they really wanted to make a good sequal, here's what Nintendo needs to do

*larger map, or incorporate the Kanto and Johto Islands also, thus killing 2 birds with one stone by also making more space for a variable amount of more pokemon breeds.

*include more pokemon

*while battling, use a better variety of status ailments, after the 5th battle I had in the game, i noticed a trend of my pokemon being confused.

*end it better, after the team aqua/ team magma thing, it didn't feel like the story line was resolved, so I wondered around for a while and did nothing.

So if you're in for a dissapointment then get the game.

First of all....The fact that Nintendo made the option to pick a girl or boy at the beginning rocks...and overall it is a fantastic game. The things that bugged me, however, were:
1. It did not have the time/day feature
2. The fact that you couldn't trade with older versions was slightly annoying
3. It takes slightly less time to complete compared to Gold/Silver because of having only one world
4. The rival in this game is less challenging
5. The Elite Four/Champ is extremely easy to defeat;I have beaten them 70 times using only a Blaziken and a Kyogre. Any 1 or 2 pokemon that knows Ice Beam and/or Hydro Pump would work if you can't get Kyogre.
Things that I liked:
1.The legendary pokemon (Kyogre/Groudon and Rayquaza) are extremely strong
2.The trainer cards (even though mine wouldn't change color after winning all 5 categories in the master rank beauty contests)
3.Trainer Eyes that displayed information on the trainers you have fought
4.The new box system for storing pokemon

Note: I am 14 years old, and have been addicted to pokemon since I was 7.
