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)
- Can't trade Pokémon with Game Boy Color
Pokemon Sapphire Version Review (2009-06-12)
I actually bought this game for my boyfriend who liked Pokemon way back when Game Boy Advance was big. He thought it was a nice idea and really enjoyed the game. It was a nice blast from the past.

This was for my 9 year old son who loves pokemon. He has played it and has thoroughly enjoyed it. It is one of the older ones but he likes playing the ones his older brother played and beat. It works well to be used. Came quickly and satisfied him. He bought it with money he saved so that made it even better for him.Game Boy Carrying Case
Pokemon Sapphire (2009-04-30)
My nine year old had pretty much completed Pokemon Pearl on his Nintendo DS (with the help of cheats) and wanted more. He tried a friend's Pokemon Platinum and found it was too similar. We bought the old Pokemon Sapphire for Game Boy Advance which is completly compatable with the DS. He really likes it even though the graphics are not quite as advanced. He would definately recommend it for someone like him who needs more Pokemon. (Ugh!)

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.
Sapphires really are something beautiful arent they? (2009-02-25)
Hello, im twelve years old. Pokemon sapphire was my first game by pokemon, so im here to help you out since my only knoweledge of the game was that i got by looking over my best friends shouldurs. Yet, i became really good at the game. The game starts where your moving too a new town, and you have to go help a proffessor in danger by using one of his three pokemon. There is Treeco, a grass pokemon, who is for expierinced players, torchic, a fire pokemon, for fiery hearted battlers, and mudkip, for begginers. After the battle, proffesor birch realizes that the pokemon likes you and sends you off on a journey to find alot of pokemon.
The plot unfolds itself as you go from town to town. You must beat other pokemon trainers to get expeirnce and your pokemon will evolve. After a while you meet team aqua, the bad guys of this story. They want to flood the world and have more water pokemon. Then theres team magma, good guys who want to help you out. After you have seven gym badges, the heart of the story arrives when you face off with team aquas leader Archie, and follow an enraged kyogre to the heart of a cave called Orgin cave, in soottopolis city. Then you face off with Kyogre, the legendary pokemon on the front of the box, and you must either catch it or defeat it. Soon you will become pokemon leauge champion.
Quests which appear after you are champion include more legendary pokemon, multiplayer fun, and becoming the champion of the battle tower, a new place to battle at. Some other feautures are: the choice of two bikes and a cycling road competition, secret bases in the right areas which you can totaly decorate with furniture, and wireless communication. Hope you like it!
