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

First, the game has a lot in common with Pokémon games Silver, Gold, and Crystal. For example, players can choose to be a boy or a girl trainer, an internal clock sets events at certain times, and the game's handy-dandy Pokédex helps players keep track of the many stats. You're main goal is still to beat all the Gym Trainers and 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 to the game focuses on how berries are used in battle. And if you collect enough berries, you can take them to a Berry Blender and make a PokéBlock, which is a little super-charged candy that raises your Pokémon's "Condition" attributes. You can then groom your Pokémon for regional contests and compete for ribbons like "Best of Show," which will unlock additional contests. There's even strategy in how to best use your berries: pick too many and the berry tree will disappear; plant berries, though, and 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 Sapphire has a kickin' multiplayer system, too. You can trade Pokémon, and link up to four players for 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 and sound facelift
  • Nice multiplayer feature (requires link cable and extra game cartridge)
Cons:
  • Can't trade Pokémon with Game Boy Color

grandson's st. nick's delight
gave this to one of my grandsons for st. nick's day---it kept him busy waiting for xmas.
 
BUYER BEWARE!!
I purchased the Game Boy Advance Pokemon Sapphire, Emerald & Ruby for my son's birthday. He wanted these games so he could migrate the Pokemon to his DS Pokemon Diamond game, but these games would not allow him to migrate the Pokemon. Every time he tried to migrate the Pokemon to his Diamond game, it would delete his file and he would have to start all over again. I know that his DS and his Pokemon Diamond game are not defective because his cousin has the Game Boy Advance Pokemon Emerald game and he doesn't have any trouble migrating Pokemon from his cousin's game. He found the disfunctional games to be rather frustrating. I returned all 3 games by USPS with signature confirmation. Y Yang signed for the package a week ago and I still have not received a refund for the games.
 
Pokemon Sapphire
Even though I have gotten older I still find the pokemon games to be a lot of fun. I love the old RBY and GS games and I found that Pokemon Sapphire was no let down. I have really enjoyed playing this new addition to the pokemon series and look forward to finishing it soon. Sapphire's layout seems a lot like the original RBY games and at times you get the feeling that you have done this all before. Overall, it is a wonderful game and I highly recommend it to any fan of the pokemon series.
 
Gift for son
I bought this game as a present for my son. I was pleased with how quickly the item got to my house and mostly how easy it was to order on line. I will continue to order his games this way.

Thank you for prompt and great customer service, also the follow up on if I had received my product and how things were going, well, that was truly refreshing.

As for the game my son tells me it has great strategies, and challenging.
 
Sapphire Blue
I have to say, compared to the other pokemon games such as Crystal and the very first ones this game isn't too bad. I'm about half way through the game and it has a lot of the same concepts. Not a lot of familiar pokemon though and as far as I know, none of the original three, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle are in there either. You start as a different character and I gotta say that's not bad but overall the game is fun but it gets a little too much like the same old.
