Ruby or Sapphire?

Jonbo298 · 07-01-2003, 08:08 AM

I'm thinking about maybe getting a Game Boy Player in the next couple of days and I need an opinion on which Pokemon game to get. (I need something to last a good amount of time since this will be my first GBA game purchase.) I've been playing a little bit of Sapphire on Rom and it seems good, but I noticed there are only 70 something pokemon. But I haven't looked into both games and seeing which is the better one. Any GT'ers have an idea of which one is better or which one you would recommend for purchase?

I dont like Pokemon. If I were you, I'd get something like Wario Ware(great replay value) or...maybe Golden Sun or something if your into RPG's.

I got sapphire and it's pretty good... It has about 200 pokemon in all (out of the 389 created) which isn't bad. The story is pretty weak, even though it's miles ahead of the older pokemon games. For the most replay value you may need to have some friends with the games so you can trade, update records, and make berries (you will understand when you play it)

I have a friend who has Sapphire. Maybe I should get Ruby so that trading would make more sense. And I partially understand the whole berry thing. I've got some from what I have played so far in the Sapphire Rom.

I really want to play Wario Wares. I bought LInk to the Past instead because I never managed to finish the game on the SNES. I almost beat it already though =\

I got Sapphire because my favorite color is blue.

Jonbo298 · 07-03-2003, 12:04 AM

Well, I got the GBP and Ruby. I love the GBP

. Tomorrow will be a day of Pokemon since I want to kick my friends ass. In 2 or 3 days I will close the thread (if I can) since any bashing or praising can be used in these next 2 or 3 days.

You're lucky these versions weren't online or else I'd take you out hard!

On a sidenote, who and what level are your Pokémon?

Jonbo298 · 07-03-2003, 12:28 AM

I havent done much yet like I said, but I have a Torchic as my starter Pokemon. I think its Level 10. but I've only played for an hour and I want it to soon evolve into a Combuskin because it looks more bad ass.

GameMaster · 07-03-2003, 12:32 AM

What level are your friend's Pokémon at?

Jonbo298 · 07-03-2003, 12:34 AM

I'm not sure. Next time I see him I will check. Hopefully 1 day I have them all without cheating. But hats a long time away

Id pick none, it's getting to old, and it's always the same old thing. saphire, or ruby, whatever, nope. old ones are better but i'am no fan of pokemoping team.

go blue

,
i only played blue and red and yellow, all of them were pretty good IMO, but i kinda lost interest when all the new pokemon came out

Shoot! I'm too late.

If you have friends, FORCE them to buy Ruby! I fell victim! I only figured it out when I realized Sapphire's legendary pokemon creams Ruby's because of the Water/Groung thing.

Yes, I got screwed! I guess you did too! Sorry to hear.

But aside from that, they're the exact same.
