Pokemon Ruby

Having been a Pokemon fan 4 quite a number of years, I am proud 2 report that Pokemon Ruby is an excellent version in the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald trilogy. My original game had 2 be replaced due 2 battery & saving issues but considering the age of this game, such problems can & will from time 2 time appear. To me this has been a fun "neverending" game & is my favorite of the "gem" trilogy. Whether "on the road" in my DS or in my Game Cube (with GBA adapter) Pokemon Ruby has been a constant & valued companion 2 this senior citizen. The game has excellent graphics & not bad sound. Play is excellent & enjoyable. If you've played the more recent Pokemon games & like them - I suggest you give the older generation of Pokemon games a try.

speedy shipping, i think would have been great, i had a 2 week window before my grandsons birthday. it still took a month because the seller forgot.

This product shows the advancement nintendo has as made in the world of electronics. It has great variety within the game itself making the play more enjoyable. I'm only sad because it is the last of the generations that can be played on GBA/GBASP. I only wish there were more 4 that system. I just feel outdated.

This guy has sent me terrible games. He sent me games that do not work properly they delete saved games & go blank in key parts of the story line making it impossible 2 go further i have contacted him about this & he chose 2 ignore me i suggest no one buy anything from him because he is a con artist.

Pokemon Ruby takes you into an immersive & more exciting new adventure as you travel & train 2 become a Pokemon master! Special features like connectivity with future GameCube games Link cable support 4 up 2 4 players Supports e-Reader Only 4 Game Boy Advance

Pokémon Ruby's updated graphics with weather effects, amazing sound, more than 200 Pokémon with over 100 new species--as well as its faithful adherence 2 the existing series of Pokémon games--makes 4 a welcome evolution in the series.

First, the game has a lot in common with Pokémon games Silver, Gold, & Crystal. For example, players can choose 2 be a boy or a girl trainer, an internal clock sets events at certain times, & you’re the game's handy-dandy Pokédex helps players keep track of the many stats. You're main goal is still 2 beat all the Gym Trainers & become the Pokémon Master. If you've played the old games, you will be right at home. But not all is the same.

The most obvious change is in the battles themselves. Now that two Pokémon can fight on your side at the same time, you can tag-team them against an enemy by taking advantage of the strengths of your Pokémons while covering their weaknesses. For example, you can now have a water Pokémon watch your fire Pokémon's back. You can also attack more than one Pokémon at a time.

A whole new element 2 the game focuses on how berries are used in battle. And if you collect enough berries, you can take them 2 a Berry Blender & make a PokéBlock, which is a little super-charged candy that raises your Pokémon's "Condition" attributes. You can then groom your Pokémon 4 regional contests & compete 4 ribbons like "Best of Show," which will unlock additional contests. There's even strategy in how 2 best use your berries: pick too many & the berry tree will disappear; plant berries, though, & a tree will grow. You can also build a Secret Base in special areas of the game, which you can decorate just like you can your room.

And let us not forget that Pokémon Ruby has a kickin' multiplayer system, too. You can trade Pokémon, & link up 2 four players 4 incredible battles. The only downside is that you can't link up with the old Game Boy Color games. --Bryan Karsh

Pros:

• You can control two Pokémon in battle
• Much needed graphic & sound facelift
• Nice multiplayer feature (requires link cable & extra game cartridge)

Cons:

• Can't trade Pokémon with Game Boy Color
