There are new items to equip onto or use on your Pokemon.

THE BAD:
The battling of Pokemon is very repetitive.

SUMMARY:
Like the other Pokemon games you are a Pokemon trainer in which sets...

-A Long, Detailed Story to keep you playing for Hours
-Awesome Graphics
-Tons of Legendary pokemon to Catch
-Trading Compatibility With Pokemon FR/LG/R/S/E
-Extremely Addictive Gameplay

THE BAD:
I have no complaints about this game, it's that great.

SUMMARY:
This is about the greatest game you will ever play on any handheld. It has you traveling through the magnificent Hoenn region on a quest to become a pokemon master. On your journey, you will encounter eight gym leaders as well as many other trainers itching to battle. After you beat all eight gym leaders, you battle the Elite Four. All throughout the game, you faced with many other challenges besides battles. There are pokemon contests that you must master, mysteries that you must solve, and many other awesome features that will keep you playing for hours. And after the Elite Four, the game's still not done....

THE GOOD:
Man, what isn't good about this game??? The improvement when compared to Gold and Silver is awesome. There are brand new Pokemon, areas to explore, moves, trainers, type combinations, items and ways to complete the game. Pokemon Contests are great, the Battle Tower is great and unlocking the legendaries is great. Plus, there are even new ways to evolve your Pokemon!!! It is fantastic!!!

THE BAD:
The only criticism I have is that it cuts out many of the Pokemon from the older games and the only way to get these is to buy Fire Red or Leaf Green. Other then that, it is a great game.

SUMMARY:
Let's explain the positives:
New Pokemon: That's easy enough to understand.
Areas to explore: You are in a whole new world, the Hoenn region, with many intricate maze-like areas such as caves, under the ocean or even aboard an abandoned ship.

New Moves: There are so many of them, ranging from new weather conditions to...

THE GOOD:
Featuring over 200 new pokemon with the previous 251 Pokemon Sapphire Version is a blast. The graphics are way better than that of the previous Pokemon games (Red, Blue, Yellow etc.)all of which were rather pixely. The new pokemon in Sapphire Version are more detailed, look better, and have a whole bunch of new moves to shake and rattle your opponents. Besides battling, you can also enter into contests where pokemon are judged based on their looks and moves.

THE BAD:
Even with all the good stuff there is a little bad. First of all, the graphics aren't all that, and the music is a little cheesy. The people in the game aren't all too detailed in the way that they look, and there isn't tha much diversity in the people you battle. For example, a male hiker always looks hte same.

SUMMARY:
Otherwise, Pokemon Sapphire is a great game, with a good long amount of story line. I myself have spent hours sitting in front of the screen, just...

THE GOOD:
+Lots of pokemon to capture
+Long adventure
+Large world to explore

THE BAD:
-Random battling can get repetetive
-Most trainer battles seem a tad bit too easy
-Not much strategy to battling (but still fun)

SUMMARY:
Pokemon Red was the first video game I ever really got attached to, and playing Pokemon Sapphire years later is a bit nostalgic. A lot has changed, but even more has stayed the same. Not exactly the same, characters and towns are almost the same as old ones, but slightly remixed.

The three Pokemon you can choose from are different looking from the Pokemon Red ones, but still are kind of the same - a fire, a water and a plant monster. There are a lot of new Pokemon and several old, classic monsters return with a slightly new appearence and a new move set. Although there are some new activities and features, such as berry mixing and 2-vs-2 battling, the game is pretty much the same...

THE GOOD:
- More pokemon
- Longer story than the others
- 2 on 2 battles
- Cool moves
- Nice Graphics compared to the previous pkmn games
- You can continue after the game itself is over
- You cant easily breeze through it
- You can capture Kyogre

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, Sapphire 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,...

THE GOOD:
2 on 2 battles.
More Poke'mon thingies.
Longer.

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 GOOD:
great game
new 2 on 2 battles
can trade with ruby, fire red, leaf green and emerald

THE BAD:
too many battles

SUMMARY:
great game, for little kiddies. lots of new events and items. plot a bit short though. yu can berry blend, find berries, battle with three of your friends and go into contests. new generation game and now, they're making a emerald, a simillar game with different pokemon.
...

THE GOOD:
Lots of pokemon to catch and raise

Lots of gameplay

the fun never ends

when you beat the game you can keep playing

trading with friends to get even more pokemon

you can fight trainers over and over and there pokemon will grow.

lots of stuff

THE BAD:
Trying to get a pokemon to level 100

they took out about 100 of the old pokemon

The game ends to soon

SUMMARY:
Okay so I got this game about a year and a half ago, And I am still raising pokemon! isnt the weird? no its perfectly normal, the art of pokemon is all in the training. Can you fill 14 diffrent boxes with 30 spaces for pokemon each with level 100 pokemon? see what I mean . When I said before that the game ends to soon i ment the gym leaders and trainers. Im atleast glad that you can fight trainers over and over, if there names have i flashing thing next to them, you can fight them...
