This is probably one of the best games for the gba that is currently out. despite popular shunning of pokemon being 'childish' or whatever, get past it and pick it up. I am 15 and this game still adicts me. the quest to collect all 200 of the little monsters dosent let go of you, and watching your weak looking chick eventualy turn in to a 2 legged, kung-fu fire bird is pretty cool

Only reason this diddnt get 5 stars is the absolute lack of storyline. well, not lack, more like the SAME exact thing as in evry other pokemon game. beat the gym leaders, smash a few team rocket (excuse me, team 'magma/aqua') goonies and become a 'pokemon master' blah blah blah blah... and i spose theres nothing completly wrong with that but Imagine how cool this would be if they included some sort of final fantasy type storyline in this game.

All and all, a good game, with gameplay length thats about 3 times as much as most gba games. 2 on 2 battles and the improved graphics make games alot of fun, but your not allowed to trade with any past versions. that leaves out my all time favroute, the charmander evolution and all my dragon guys, why nintendo? why?

This game is way better than all previous games! It has incredible detail to little things(like leaving splashes in puddles, and footprints on the beach), and has 2-on-2 battles, and even T.V. interveiws! It runs by real time, but doesn't get dark after 6 pm like previous games.^_^ All in all, this is a really super great game!! I hope my reveiw was helpful to you!

GOOD GAME!

When I got this game I picked Treecko.But now I like Water-types
but...I still collect others.The game takes place in Heonn,a new
region to explore.This game is fun and exciting,it keeps me playing forever I haven't finished it yet.What got me suprised is that you can catch new pokemon!But if you want another pokemon like squirtle for your Mightyena it might be a sad memory....!Please...Please.....PLEASE BUY THIS GAME!!

Another way to get into Pokemon! Pokemon Sapphire and Ruby will bring a whole new way to play. This time there will actually be 134 new Pokemon! Like in Crystal, you can become a boy or girl and start a Pokemon journey. There are a couple of bad parts too. One is that you cannot journey to the following regions; Kanto (from R,B,Y) Johto (from G,S,C) and the Orange Islands (not in any game). Another one is you cannot catch most of the R,B,Y,G,S,C Pokemon! But for the most part these games will be fantastic!

Super Game!

I have this game in japanese and it's really cool! There are some problems, like no time machine trading, but there are 100 new pocket monsters! But, just like red+blue and gold+silver there is going to be a better version if it sells well. (Which it already has in japan!)

A very good game, however has a few bad points

Pokemon 3 (Ruby/Sapphire) is, in my opinion, the best game in the series. However, there is room for improvment.

=Pros=
-135 new Pokemon to catch and train
-Whole new country (Hoenn) to explore. Hoenn is like a combination of Johto/Kanto from the previous Pokemon games.
-Secret Bases, like the "Your Room" feature in G/S/C. You buy furniture/dolls/etc. from places around Hoenn, and put them in your secret base.
-Pokemon Contests, where you enter your Pokemon in 4 types of contests

-Weather conditions, which are visible outside of battle, and also effect inside of battle.

=Cons=
-No visible night/day. It's now hard to tell when tide changes, and when certian pokemon evolve based on night/day evolution.
-No Johto/Kanto. It would be nice to go back to catch Pokemon that you can only catch by using a cheating device. Plus, it would be cool to see how Johto/Kanto has changed since G/S/C.
-184 out of 386 (excluding the 2 new Pokemon that you can get by going to a Nintendo tour thing or the Pokemon Center in New York) Pokemon are not obtainable unless you use a cheating device.
-And last, like in every Pokemon game excluding Yellow, the game continues the water-grass-fire starter Pokemon trend ever since the first series.

It would get 5 stars if it had a little bit more older Pokemon, and at least one previous country. But despite it's flaws, Pokemon Sapphire is still a very good game.

Very fun, for beginner pkmn players, i suggest a guide

I have beat the game with a guide. it's fun, but tricky to find the hms. i probably can beat emerald quicker because saphire was my first game. if you are new to pokemon, use a guide book or an online guide.

overall its good, yet it starts out boring. after awhile it gets interesting

If you are going to get a pokemon game get this one!!!!

This game is one of the best gameboy games I have ever played. I could not stop playing it after my friend gave it to me. In little root (where you start) is the best because your next-door neighbor (in the game) gives you a free pokemon. When you get to the last gym leaders go online to get helpful hints for victory road (the road to the last gym leaders)because you can get stuck very easily. You can choose to be a boy or a girl and your name. After you are done getting the things out of the moving truck you are ready to play! Don't think twice buy this game!!!!!!!!!!!

saphire fever

the moment i got my mudkip i instatly cought saphire fever. saphire unfortunantly cant be played on gameboy color. there are two new "evil teams" are team aqua and team magma(sadly there is no team rocket. in saphire the team you are fighting is team aqua(who wants the trouble of fighting two teams). the three legendarias are groudon,kyogre and rayqaza but you dont need to worry about groudon because you dont catch him. kyogre is in the cave of origin and you can either beat him or catch him(i would catch him he is super strong)you can use your master ball if you like but i would save it for latias(make sure you save before you battle him if you are trying to catch him if he beats you or you beat him you can turn of and try again). rayquaza is at the top of the sky pillar and if you dont want to catch him ignore the sky pillar onless you want a good ghost type. if you want to catch him make sure you save and its ok to use your master ball but i would use in on latias. keep in mind you can only catch him after you beat the elite four. there are also three miner legenarias regirock,regice and registeel. to get these three i would recomend either a guide of somesort or a good brail guid. i would only catch one if i were you because the moves they learn are pretty much the same. there wareabouts are regice is an island between dewford and slaport,regirock is at the botom of the desert and registeel is right outside lilycove(where the girl who gives you the berry is. for finding them i would also recomend a guid because i cannot explain there locations are very well. when you get to there locations you will notice that there is no way in. that is because you have not gone to the sealed chamber. i would use a guide to get there because its very hard to get there without instuctions. im going to save you alot of trouble by telling you this when you enter the sealed chamber go right to the front and use dig( wich you get from fossil maniacs younger brother). a door will open and proseed into the next chamber walk to the front put ralicanth at the front of your party and wailord at the back and hit the A bottun(if you want to get emereld read the emerld reveiws in emreld things are differt and alot harder). once your in the tomb of the regis read the brail at the front and it will tell you to use a certain move in a certain place then you can catch the regis(do not use your master ball there are bigger and better things to use it on). i know i mentioned the elite four earlyer so here it is. the elite four(also known as the pokem leage)are a group of four members and the champion. there pokemon typs go dark,ghost,ice,dragon and finally steel(get a good water type and you'll crush the champion). once you beat the elite four the ferry starts working so you can go to battle tower. there are two rooms in the battle tower the level 50 room and the level 100 room. in the level fifty room you fight seven trainers(all there pokemon are level fifty)you can use only three pokemon and you cant use rayquaza kyogre or groudon. same rules for the level 100 room only every trainers pokemon is level 100. you cant hook up with c/s/g/r/b/y but you can hook up with firered and leafgreen. your probobly going to catch saphire fever too.

cool,fun but still 4

pokemon saphire is searesly cool,it is just that afteru play it for say 60 odd hours that it begins to get a bit boring.I got it around a year ago and in my 2 game which i am playing right now i have managed to master a few of its secrets like catching kyogre and rayquaza.before u go off to try and catch them save ur game.that way even if u cant catch it just shut off ur game and try again.believe me it isnt that easy to catch a 70level dragon pokemon.my neighor who has ruby found the way to rayquaza but he first tried to catch it whith out telling me.4 or 5 days later he finally succeded.he first tried to lower its hp and then try to catch it wich is wat u should do which other pokemon.when he caught it he showed me the way.after about half an hour i grew sooooooooooo fraustratedi simply used the pokeballs from the beginning and i succeded !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [it toke some time,be patient] the hardest thing in the game is catching latias.even though its only 40level it keeps roaming around.and when u see it it flees from battle.i suggest u keep ur master ball for it.the 2 on 2 battles are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but battle tower is pretty stupiud.even if u defeat 7 trainers in a row all u get is a lousy calcium.but it has 4 doors so i suspect something happens when u defeat the 100 level floor.the graphics are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!the contests r pretty much ok.i suggest u start with a torchick as there are no good fire pokemon exept blazikien and vulpix.right now i have a sceptile which u should take if u dont want blazikien.and vulpix dont evolve easily.i have a 60 level vulpix which has not yet evolved. the secret base is stupid,there is nothing to do there!!!!!!!!if u want metagrosss after u defeat steven go to his house in mossdeep and there in a pokeball wiil be beldum which evolves in to metang which evolves into metagrosss!!!!!!!!ur team should have a balance of types.my team is peliper,{u get flying and ater and u should have water types]sceptile,{grass which is not really nececary but sceptile is powerfulll}blazikien or vulpix{fire!!}kyogre{water and legendary make a deadly combination}rayquaza{its dragon,legendary and level 70}and a ghost pokemon.i have heard roumers that once sceptile is 100level it becomes omega sceptile and has infinity hp and there fore can only be defeated by a 1-hit ko attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but then i suggest u bye emarld as its almost the same price and u can catch kyogre and groudon,ryquaza and i think deoxys.
ps{i know i made a lot of spelling mistakes}
i hope u found this rewiew helpfull
