Pokémon Omega Ruby Standard Edition - Nintendo 3DS

I love the Pokemon series. One of the things I hated was that I came in too late to play Ruby and Sapphire(I started in the next generation). When I heard that these games were coming out, I was psyched. When the games finally came out in November, I looked around at all the stores in the area and Best Buy had a great deal for it. Thank you Best Buy.

Omega Ruby is excellent remake that truly stands out among the others in the franchise. With over 700 different Pokémon you won't get bored searching for new ones, but on top of that it gives old players of the originals a great sense of nostalgia and good memories. That's not to say that this game isn't for newcomers, because they will have just as much fun with this game than the nostallic players. Graphics: The 3D graphics look awesome on the 3DS, and everything from the Pokémon to the environments look great in the new edition. Gameplay: If you've played other Pokémon titles then you know what to expect. It's the same old fashion game, but of course with a polished update that makes the series feel fresh and entertaining. What's Different: Of course X & Y introduced Mega Evolve and this game is no exception to that new type of temporary Pokémon evolution. For players who didn't play the last games in the franchise just know all you have to do is find special stone to make your Pokémon do this special evolution. I don't remember if this was in the original, but in the 3DS remake you can actually sneak up on Pokémon you see hiding in the grass. Story: The story isn't the best, but then again the gameplay and catching Pokémon is what matters in a Pokémon game, and it more than excels at doing those two things very well. Bottom line is that Pokémon Omega Ruby is a must play for all fans of the series.

If you are reading this, you're probably wondering if you should get Pokemon OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire. The answer is YES. Sure, it's a remake of the gameboy advance game Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, however there are more features to explore in this game, not to mention the huge update in the roster! It goes without saying that the graphics are absolutely beautiful. If you're a fan of Pokemon, you should definitely get this game!

This is a beautiful remake of a game that I cherished as a child. It compares in graphics to Pokemon X and Y but there is definitely more "production value" in this version. If you've already played either Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald then you will be pleasantly surprised at the amount of content and enjoyment you will get from this version.

If you played the original ruby or sapphire, I think you will be very happy with this game. Contains a lot of what we have come to love from Pokemon games. Not only does it contain the best elements from the past, but it puts a new twist on them using some of the newer features of gen VI.

This game is fantastic.I've played pokemon since Gameboy color.I could safely say I that it has changed alot.I like the way it is now.Now for these remakes it's all a throwback for me.Totally worth buying again just to bring back the memories.

Great remake of the Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald GBA games. The graphics are crisp, the story line was enhanced a bit, and the overall gameplay was smooth. I think the game was a little too easy though; I remember Emerald being quite difficult in comparison to the other games in the franchise. Not a bad game by any means (a great remake), but I do feel that they could have done a little more with it.
