I recently purchased my own copy of pokemon sapphire, and was actually very dissappointed. While the graphics and sounds are amazing compared to previous pokemon games. when this "shock" wears off, you'll find that the older games are actually much better. While the new "personalities" and other additions are very interesting, there are many flaws in the game. The female player is very strange-looking (even ugly), and the rival isn't pushy enough (not the type that you can "love to hate", therefore less fun to defeat) The trainers in the game are very easy to defeat; I breezed through this game even more quickly than gold, which was entirely too easy in and of itself. The lack of strategy of the in-game trainers and their low-level pokemon makes running into and battling them realy a bore. These trainers were much harder to defeat in yellow version, the hardest versoin of all pokemon games. The storyline is hard to follow wihout a guide, and can even be frustrating. As with all pokemon games, the storyline is entirely too short, leaving a player with nothing to do when their pokemon reach level 40ish. By far the largest dissappointment; however, is the varety of pokemon available in the game. Almost all of the pokemon from the previous versoins ae not available in these games. The new pokemon are, for the most part, are very dissappointing, as they appear that nintendo has run out of idea for pokemon. All the new pokemon are similar in shape, color, and other appearance. I soon found, using a quick online lookup, that ALL my favoriite pokemon had been discontinued from both ruby and sapphire, making for a very unhappy game experience.

Okay, I'm a 12 year-old gamer and started the pokemon saga with the Yellow Version and coudn't stop playing it. Then I got Silver Version and thought the new pokemon was awesome. Then I got Crystal Version thinking it was something new finding out that nothing was different except the choice of being a boy or girl trainer, easier way to catch Suicune, and the Battle Tower. I really didn't care for the Gameboy Advance until I heard of Pokemon Ruby + Sapphire release. I coudn't wait. I'm suprised that I made it this long. I've been checking out every website imaginable to find out information. Here is some things I found out:

1. Ruby and Sapphire will unleash more than 100 new battle-ready Pokemon.
2.You can't have new Pokemon without new trainers, and each game offers up a never-before-seen pair. Gamers can test Landon and Terra in Ruby and Sean and Marina in Sapphire.
3. The intense - and tougher - new battle schemes in both Ruby and Sapphire will satisfy even the most hard-core battelers. Now you can have battle two characters againts your friends two characters, or link up and battle three friends with each player managing one Pokemon at a time.

I also found a couple of tips you can use in your gaming experience:

1.Early in the game, catch a few Zigzagoon! Their special ability can get you a lot of great free items.
2.Make sure to replant berries to keep your berry supply growing.

You begin your adventure inside a moving truck and had just arrived at your new home. Your mom tells you to take a walk. While you are walking you see that Professer Birch is running from a Phoenca and he climbs into a tree. He tells you to pick a Pokemon out of his bag. Once you take care of the Phoenca he notices your talent in Pokemon training so he lets you keep that Pokemon. By the way the new starting pokemon are Torchic the fire Pokemon, Mudkip the water Pokemon, and Treecko the grass Pokemon. After that you start your journey. If you are just starting in Pokemon you should play the other versions first but for all those Pokemon Masters out there you should defenitely buy this game. Just for the the link-up battles, sometime this week I'am going to buy a link cable for Gameboy Advance. This game and it's counterpart Pokemon Ruby will be the best versions yet in the Pokemon saga. I'm definitely going to buy these games when they come out.

Trust me, you've got to get this game. I think that that the originals were fine and there graphics were lagging but sapphire has a great story and great graphics, the game is great because you are in the all new Hoenn Region and only 52 of the original pokemon were kept and the new pokemon are so cool, if you have any intrest in this interview you obviously are thinking about buying it, buy it! The game is the best, the features are the best, buy it!<br /> <br /> Sapphire rules all. Sapphire kicks the originals out of commission. Sapphire is definitely, a game that will be remembered as a great game.
