Once again Pokemon amazes me

User Rating: 9 | Pokemon Sapphire Version GBA
Pokemon Sapphire Version is one of the newest installments of the Pokemon series. (Ruby is the other one.) The object is still the same, catch all of the Pokemon to become the ultimate Pokemon Master. Unlike Gold, Silver, and Crystal, there are only 200 Pokemon to collect, so that is a bit of a downside. After this, Sapphire helps to revolutionize Pokemon. Each Pokemon has an innate ability which will activate when needed to. You may also send out two Pokemon to fight another trainer who sends out two Pokemon. This aspect opens the floor for a variety of new moves and effects for some old moves. There are also 7 "legendary" Pokemon to catch. You'll know when you see them. But beware! If you miss your chance to catch them, you will never be able to get them again! There is still an Elite Four. They are the trainers that you have to beat to be crowned the Pokemon Master. The members themselves are different and use different Pokemon types than Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal versions. You can't collect every Pokemon with one version. In order to collect them all, you must trade some Pokemon to and from Ruby version, otherwise, you can never have every Pokemon there is to collect. Overall, Pokemon Sapphire Version is a great game with very good gameplay. Even after you defeat all of the Elite Four, there is still something to do. Pokemon fans and non Pokemon fans alike should check out this game.
