Pokémon Ruby

THE BAD:
Few Pokemon From Older Versions to Catch
Internal Game Problems
No Day/Night
Some Confusing Parts of the Game

SUMMARY:
Pokemon Ruby is a great overall game, but is probably worse then the previous generation, besides its graphics. Like the previous games Ruby has its own region, which is Hoenn, and there are 8 Gyms, The Evil Team(Magma), the Elite Four, The Champion and your rival to beat.

Some new improvements from the old games include contests, which are not easy and take some practice. These contests make the game last a bit longer, and there are rewards for beating them. Berries are used to make Pokemon compete better in these contests and blending berries with your friends to make poke-blocks and then versing them in contests is a fun addition to the game.

The Storyline is good fun, but isn't much different from previous generations of games. It involves you stopping Team Magma's plans at all costs, to save the Hoenn region.

2 on 2 battles are a great addition to the game and allow new strategies to be tested, seeing which two Pokemon work best together and how some moves can benefit each other. Battling with your friends 2 on 2 is also very fun.

After beating the game, you earn access to the battle tower, which is probably the most challenging part of the game, getting to 100 wins in a row can take a long time, but it will be fun the whole time. You can win some prizes from the battle tower which can be won nowhere else.

There are a few downsides to this game, like the glitch involving the internal battery running dry, causing all time based events like growing berries to fail. Also if you don't do some good training of your Pokemon up to the Elite Four you will find it very challenging.

There is no longer a day night system, it is always day time, which is a bit unfortunate, having day and night would have made it feel more realistic and make it possible for new features like some Pokemon only being seen at night.

There are some confusing parts of the game, like catching the 3 regis. It involves being able to read brail (it is provided with the game) and can be frustrating at times. Also, at the fifth badge you have to go all the way back to face your father's gym, which is confusing because you have to almost go back to the start of the game from the other side of the map.

Pokemon Ruby is a great game for Pokemon fans of all ages, it provides hours of entertainment and fun and I recommend that you don't miss the chance to play it and see the changes from previous games.

THE BAD:
•Very challenging at some points
•Annoying music
•Not many Pokemon from older versions
•Internal game problems

SUMMARY:
Pokemon Ruby is a great game overall. The game takes place in the Hoenn region where there are many new things to do. In the Hoenn region, there are 8 Gym leaders to fight and defeat, just like the previous games.

In addition to collecting all 8 Gym badges, Nintendo has included Beauty Contests. There are many new additions to Pokemon Ruby that trainers have not seen in any Pokemon game before. New kinds of berries growing on trees, the berry blender and even 2 on 2 Pokemon battles.

This game revolutionizes Pokemon games like no other Pokemon game has before.

However, there are glitches. The internal battery may run dry, meaning the in-game clock stops all together.

I give this game a 4.5/5. With 386 Pokemon to catch, Pokemon Ruby provides endless hours of game play, even after the Elite 4 has been defeated. Whether competing in battle, or in beauty contests, Pokemon Ruby is a great game that has something for everyone to enjoy.

THE BAD:
-Like most of the other pokemon games, after you beat the elite four, there's not much to do
-They took out a lot of the pokemon from the older versions
-The game can get a little too frusturating at times with their puzzles

SUMMARY:
This game can only be described in one word in my opinion: interesting. This game has lots of stuff to do and it will most certainly take hours over hours to see all of the stuff this game has in store for you. There's lots of places to travel to, and their atmosphere of the game is pretty cool. The places you go are fun to explore in, from a volcano to the desert, and even under the sea. There's also a lot of new things to do such as beauty contests, which seem like another game in itself. There's also some other cool feautures outside of the main game such as your own secret base where you can decorate it with a selection of tons of different items. This game is also kind of an RPG, because of a lot of the stuff you can do and how it might affect you later in the game.

I would rate this game a 9/10 because it's pretty fun to play and will keep you entertained for hours. I would've given it a perfect 10 if they not had removed a lot of the pokemon from the previous versions.

THE BAD:
The game is still too traditional and it lacks being unique in its own way. Limit to catchable pokemon as usual.

SUMMARY:
Overall, Ruby is a solid game. Just like the other past pokemon games, the entire goal of the game is to defeat the Elite 4 and become a ultimate pokemon master. Can it get any more traditional than that? No, it cant. Thats one bad thing that happens with this game because its mostly the same thing, which definitely brings down the overall quality of the game.

But look past that and you'll see a beautiful game with lots of things to do, and a lot of fun attached to it. The goal of the game, as stated before, is to become a pokemon master, and now its also to defeat the rivals, who are known as Team Aqua. Its really fun to play because of the storyline and the new pokemon in it, so I would say get it because its worth it.

THE BAD:
After beating the Elite 4, there's barely anything to do.
It's quite repetitive.
Not all the Poke'mons are there.
Uhhh, the move they use does the same damage all the time.

SUMMARY:
Lastability: 7/10.
God, you should see how hard the Elite 4 are. Also catching the Legendaries can be hard dagnammit.
Graphics: 7/10.
Hmmm, that's kinda the only other thing I liked about the game, but it's stillll boring.
Sound: 3/10.
If I ever hear one more Poke'mon entry sound, I'm gonna bust my SP apart. Seriously, they try to pop your ears out.
Gameplay: 5/10.
Well, it's simple. You walk around, catch Poke'mons and battle trainers and Gym Leaders, which I consider dull and repetitive.
Overall: 2.7/5.0
Doing the same thing for like the 7th/8th installment is just plain rude.

THE BAD:
The bad features are:
Some of the pokemon seem ridiculas
It can be a bit puzzling

SUMMARY:
The graphics onthis game are amazing and so is the sound track. The game will blow you away fromstartto end as you begin your journey through the world of hoenn. You will also battle against team magma, wich is specific to ruby. You can also choose to be a female or male, a downside to the game is there is no night and day. The clock changes to am or pm but it doesnt change night or day.Puzzles may get annoying at times but it just adds to the fun with you will get from this game. I would recomend you buy this game and get its equal saphire.

THE BAD:
it is just another Pokemon game with new characters,the action is so repititive,it is for a younger audience affter all.

SUMMARY:
Hey guys and girls! Just playing Pokemon. Now i know what youre thinking"Another Pokemon game?" Lets start of with the good.The graphics and sound are really well done! But this game is so repititive all you do is battle...run...catch...run...you get my point. It is fun for a while. But this game is so short and EASY!!!You will probably beat it in maybe a sitting or two. Overall i will recomend this game to Pokemon freaks out their but just be warned it is for a young audience therefor it is pretty easy.

Grade:B-

Freak 2345

THE BAD:
* Way to many battles
* To many caves/forests

SUMMARY:
If you like Pokemon you should play Pokemon Ruby because, this is the best Pokemon game ever! I would recommend this game because: In my opinion, it has the best GBA graphics ever. You don't just fight wild Pokemon, but trainers and Gym Leaders. You collect gym badges. You pick if you’re a boy or a girl. You also collect and trade Pokemon. You can bye and sell items. There are two-on-two battles, and regular battles. You can use a game link cable to battle with a friend. You can have a secret base, and you can decorate it! This game has weather conditions like rain and sunshine. I think anybody can enjoy this game. This game is Rated E for everyone.
