Pokemon Ruby

Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, released in Japan as Pocket Monsters Ruby and Pocket Monsters Sapphire (ポケットモンスター ルビー・サファイア, Poketto Monsutā Rubī, Safaia?), are both the third installments of the Pokémon series of role-playing games, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance. The games were first released in Japan in late 2002; they later released to the rest of the world in 2003 (North America, Australia, and Europe). Pokémon Emerald, a special edition version, was released two years later in each region. These three games (Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald), along with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, form the third generation of the Pokémon video game series, also known as the "advanced generation".

The gameplay is mostly unchanged from the previous games; the player controls the main character from an overhead perspective, and the controls are largely the same as those of previous games. As with previous games, the main objectives are to catch all of the Pokémon in the games and defeat the Elite Four, a group of Pokémon trainers. However, new features, such as double battles and Pokémon abilities, have been added. As the Game Boy Advance can handle more powerful graphics than its predecessors, four players may be connected at a time instead of the previous limit of two. Additionally, the games can be connected to an E-Reader or other advanced generation Pokémon games.
