Think about it...
Red & Blue...a little later there was Yellow which was a little better than Red & Blue
Gold & Silver...a little later there was Crystal which was a little better than Gold & Silver
Ruby & Sapphire...there's got to be another one released that's a little better than Ruby & Sapphire...

I am sooooooo sick of Pokemon, it is a super fade that won't die. They don't even use real colors anymore, Ruby?, what the f##k is that?

Don't Buy this if you want a complete Pokedex

You cannot trade with older versions, Johto and Kanto aren't in the game and you can only catch about 150 Pokemon between the two games. Two thumbs down.

This is boring.

Please all reviewers read this review with an open mind. Thank you. THIS GAME IS THE MOST BORING GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE. This game has No replay value. and not to mention its so easy it makes me sick. When nintindo made this game it must have been for babies! I completed that Pokemon Ruby 8 times with no enjoyment. I played it again and again expecting somthing more. Oh, and guess what. This game has not a drop of replay value. Nope. Not a drop. The only reson I played it so many times is because that was my only game. To this day I dread that moment I placed in my order for this game. (...)

GOTTA RE-CATCH THEM ALL!!!!!

Please don't make my same mistake. The people who wrote thats its a super game, they don't now what there talking about. If you want a good game. I suggest Golden Sun 2 the lost age. At least its a true game that is worthy of a good review.

Disappointing...

I am a long-time Pokemaniac. I got into pokemon five years ago as of next month, back in 1998 when it first came out, and it literally changed my life. I think it hit its peak gameplay-wise with the metallics (G/S/C), but eventually even they got old. I was hoping that the new games would inject life back into the series. Unfortunately, no.

I don't care what any of you say, there's just something deeply wrong with not being able to trade your old pokemon over to R/S. I cried and lost sleep over the idea of leaving my old team. We'd shared so many battles and memories together. But then I got over it, and figured I could just raise my team again on the new game. It wouldn't be the same, but it was close enough that I figured I would still enjoy the new games. Even without my faithful old team.

Well, guess what? You can't do that. They removed many of the old pokemon altogether, to make room for the new ones. So if you'll miss your old pokemon at all, don't buy this. You need not read further. You'll never get them back in any incarnation. Not to mention the new pokemon are, to put it mildly, ugly and uninspired. Seriously. Go look at an online pokedex, and you'll see what I mean. They just lack the charm of the first 250! I wanted to love them, but...there just wasn't anything there.

I bought the game anyway, played it for a few weeks, and put it down with a sigh. The old night/day/morning feature is gone. I tell you, there was nothing like playing my Silver version until 5 AM, and watching the little pixels brighten as I left the Pokemon Center. Now that's gone. The 2 on 2 battles may seem intriguing, but after a while, they become mere novelty. If you have a favorite pokemon from the first six games, chances are it's gone now. Remember meeting Lance in G/S/C, and going back to Kanto? Not so here! The R/S world is completely removed from the previous games. There is no connection. No familiar people, places, and rarely even any familiar pokemon!

Those of you who have never played the old six will probably enjoy this anyway, but let me say-- you'll get more bang for your buck if you buy one of the other games. They're cheap now, too. And for those of you who loved the old games and are wondering if Ruby/Sapphire is a worthy sequel-- it's not. Skip this. You'll play it for maybe two weeks and then get bored, because they took out all the cool old features, pokemon, places, people, and just about everything that made the first six great. What was replaced, instead of being removed outright (as is often the case here), is vastly inferior to the original stuff.

In short, no matter if you're new to pokemon or an old fan, you should buy one of the older games: Gold, Silver, or Crystal, or Red, Blue, or Yellow. They will give you many more hours of happiness and quality play.

Why, Nintendo? Why?

Good and Bad

While playing this game, I found it much harder than any of the other pokemon games, which I found good. My fighting style is to get a ghost to put something to sleep, then get a dragon to finish it off in one move. If you evolve the bird Swablu then it is a dragon that can make stuff sleep. Sweet!
2 on 2 battle is very fun, but you can't trade in any pokemon from any of your other games unless it's ruby-ruby sapphire-sapphire, ruby-sapphire. That Tyranitar/Dragonite team you've spent weeks breeding into level 5 larvitar/dratini with the best TM moves are worthless, since you can't trade them.
Berries don't grow one per tree per day, but you can grow your own, and there are beauty contests on pokemon now, but they'll probably be completely useless on the battlefield if you make them for showing off.
Overall rating would have been 5 instead of 2, but after I beat the Elite Four and Pokemon Master, and still can't find most of the old 251 pokemon, the rating drops quick. Also, I can't find a way to get to Johto or Kanto, that might be where they are.
Lastly, as a Dragon Fanatic, most dragons, aside from Gyarados, Tropius, and Sceptile (treecko) most of the dragons are found by Rock Smash. NOT EASY. Good luck, Trainers!
