Editions Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald

Pokémon Ruby Version and Sapphire Version (ポケットモンスター ルビー&サファイア Poketto Monsutā Rubī & Safaia?, "Pocket Monsters: Ruby & Sapphire") are the third installments of the Pokémon series of role-playing video games, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance. The games were first released in Japan in late 2002 and internationally in 2003.

The gameplay is mostly unchanged from the previous games; the player controls the main character from an overhead perspective, and the controls are largely the same as those of previous games. As with previous games, the main objectives are to catch all of the Pokémon in the games and defeat the Elite Four (a group of Pokémon trainers); also like their predecessors, the games' main subplot involves the main character defeating a criminal organization that attempts to take over the region. New features, such as double battles and Pokémon abilities along with 135 new Pokémon, have been added. As the Game Boy Advance is more powerful than its predecessors, four players may be connected at a time instead of the previous limit of two

Pokémon Emerald, known in Japan as Pocket Monsters Emerald (ポケットモンスター　エメラルド Poketto Monsutā Emerarudo,?), is a role-playing video game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance handheld video game console. It was first released in Japan on September 16, 2004, and was later released in North America, Australia, and Europe. It is an enhanced remake of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

Emerald keeps Pokémon that debuted in Ruby and Sapphire while incorporating Pokémon from Pokémon Gold and Silver in the after-game, that were not featured in Ruby and Sapphire. It features the same plot of Ruby and Sapphire except it incorporates the Pokémon Rayquaza into the story and introduces the Battle Frontier, a tournament in which players' characters can participate after the game's credits.
