This new adventure will let you play either as a female or male trainer. The game will feature the existing 251 Pokémon characters FROM the Red, Yellow, Blue, Gold, Silver, and Crystal versions of the game. There will also be 100 new Pokémon introduced in the game, a number of which will appear in the upcoming Japanese film Pokémon 2002. Available in Ruby and Sapphire versions.
Super refined version of Pokémon At the time of this games release I thought it couldn’t get any better than this. And to my surprise, that has pretty much held up, I’m not that big of a fan of the Diamond and pearl Pokémon games, the gameplay seems uneven in them, but they designed some excellent looking monsters in them. The gameplay in ruby and sapphire is still the most polished games in the series, say what you will about the monster design (and for the most part I agree that most of the new Pokémon in these versions didn’t really add a lot to the world) but the adventure is fantastic. Take a look at this game if you missed it the first time around, it’s a good time.

Pokemon does it again... It's amazing how, even though the core of Pokemon doesn't change, each region is fun and new. Hoenn, the region in particular, seems to have troubles. Two conflicting teams, Team Aqua and Team Magma, have their own goals in Hoenn, and it involves a colored orb and a legendary Pokemon...
In Ruby version, your mission is to become a Pokemon master. Starting from a small town, you'll battle Gym Leaders, including your own father, in order to gain entry into the Pokemon league. However, you must do something else; Stop Team Magma from awakening Groudon, the Continent Pokemon!
Groudon weighs a ton, has rediculously high Attack and Defense, and is overall a cool Pokemon, but even the hot-headed Team Magma has their troubles, and by the end of the game, everything goes awry.
The game's overhauled battle system, introduction of abilities, natures, contests, and a re-done Effort Value system makes you Hoenn experience one of the best RPGs the GBA has to offer.
It falls a bit short in terms of replayability, though. After you beat Steven, Elite Four Champion, there's not much to do. Battling friends is a hoot, though, ecspecially in great, full-color 32-bit. And the game's compatible with Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, so you can transfer your monsters to Sinnoh once you're done.
Overall, if you're looking for a GBA RPG that's great for kids, Pokemon Ruby is a good start.

Old. Old now. Best is PBR (Pokemon Battle Revolution) for Nintendo Wii!
