Description
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

Customer Reviews
THE BEST GAME I OWN!!!!!
This is a GREAT game!!! Even if some people say it sucks, don't listen to them!But I still think that the latest game,Pokémon Emerald,is MUCH MUCH better.(Nintendo says it's gonna be released in english on April 2005!) OK,I WAS gonig to rate it 5 stars,but I took one away.Why? cause I wish it had more extras, like Firered,Leafgreen,and Emerald.The only extras it has are:
1.Catch or kill(lol)Groudon/Kyogre
2.Catch or beat the Regis
3.Beat the elite four(not realy an extra but whatever...)
4.Beat the battle tower
5.Catch or kill Rayquaza.
6.Become champ of contests
7.Chase and catch Latias/Latios
8.Get Jirachi with the colloseum bonus disk
9.Get Deoxys (don't know how)
10.Complete Pokédex and Nationaldex if possible
OK,I take back what I said earlier.That is a good number of extras. But if you want a Pokémon game with TOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNS of extras and stuff,get Pokémon Emerald. For more info on the games and lots of other stuff, check this AWESOME site:

Best game ever better then retarded ruby
I love this game and i am still playing it and my favorite pokemon is deoxys.

The only reason i gave it 4 out of 5 stars is it because it is sooooooooo easy game.I completed the game and captured many pokemons include the legendary pokemon(regirock,....etc) in 16 hours. But it is very intresting.
