Pokémon Ruby Version

The Good
Part of the third generation of Pokémon games, Pokemon Ruby takes aspring trainers through the beautiful region of Hoenn. As with any Pokemon game, your task is to defeat the region's 8 gym leaders, and then qualify to face the Elite Four and finally battle against the Pokémon champion... and of course, to catch all of the Pokémon found in Hoenn, easier said than done!

Now being on the GBA, the graphics have gotten a great upgrade. The music (some of it is remixed from the previous games) is very catchy and sounds great on the system.

The Bad
Something of a problem with all Pokémon games, the gameplay is mostly the same; aside from a few new features such as double battles and diving, Ruby is more or less a remake of the previous two games. The graphics, albeit improved from the older games, still have the same basic look, just with a little more detail.

The Bottom Line
Pokémon fans will undoubtedly enjoy this third edition in the franchise, though non-fans may not like it too much. Some people may become bored of it due to its recycled nature. Nonetheless, Pokémon Ruby's a solid title.
