Pokémon Ruby'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 you’re 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 Ruby 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)
- Can't trade Pokémon with Game Boy Color
A Must Have for any Pokemon Fan.... (2009-04-13)
Pokemon Ruby is a Game Boy Advance game that can also be played on the Nintendo DS. It's set up is very familiar and easy to follow, but becomes more challenging as the game goes on. To any Pokemon fan, it's a must have and with out it, leaves an incomplete collection.....

I love pokemon. Great game. Alot of fun and very addicting. I just wish they would make a game like this for the bigger systems. One that you can actually go and catch pokemon like on the TV show. Until they get smart enough to do that, I will continue to have fun with what they have out.

My two granddaughters have enjoyed this game and have played it for hours. They would recommend it to other Pokemon fans.
Great tips to help you on the long run and get your moneysworth! (2009-02-24)
ok ruby feautures a ground type pokemon called groudon who controls land and the sun and your fighting with team aqua, and against team magma. now here are some great tips!
For groudon, stock up on ultra balls and other helpful items. dont blow your master ball on him, go after latios, the pokemon that runs rampid after you beat the elite four.
take time to find rare candies! they help your pokemon grow quickly!
If your a beginner at the game, pick mudkip as a starter. when you have swampert with one ice type move, you can beat drake, the dragon guy of the elite four and steven, the champion who uses steel types.
Some pokemon take a while to raise but you can find them early off in the game. Like aron, you can find him in granite cave in dewford town. Catch him and train him to get a tough agronn.
and heres how you can get regirock, regice, registeel, and rayquaza. For the regis, you must find the selaed chamber, west from pacifilog town. get a wailord and relicanth and put one first in ur list and one last to get the right order after you use dig to get even deeper into the cave. dont translate braile, just trust me. once you do, go find the thre caves hidden around the desert near mauville, fortree, and off mr brineys house in the sea. Rayquaza is at sky pillar near pacifolog. You can catch him after you become champion.
And last but not least, to find mirage island you must have the wynaut that has hatched from the gift from the lady in lavaridge town. Have him when you talk to the man to see mirage island. Hope you liked the help!
