the teenage pokemon loving gamer just loves this one

I bought this game to my son and he love the game.....

It came with the system but my 7 year old loves it!

Awesomw game to play at home or at car while driving.

The price was great and the store clerk was very pleasant.

Many post game missions once you beat the elite 4!

Will buy again, the game is cool I will buy again.

My grandson loves this game it entertains him for hours

Fun, great fun interaction with friends and family.

Another fun pokemon game for my son to enjoy! Fun!

The boy I gave it to loved it and he will play alo

Thanks to the new Pokenav system, I haven't even gotten too far in the game. But that's not a bad thing. I'm just having fun with collecting Pokémon.

My son has continued to play this game since Christmas. He was very excited when he got it.

It's good but not my favorite. Not a fan of how you can sneak up on Pokemon. Guess I'm just old fashioned when it comes to Pokemon.

Purchased this game as a gift for a Pokémon enthusiast. Great for on the go fun while traveling.

This is a game I bought for my son. Every year Nintendo comes out with a new version of the game. Every year I look at him play with it and I don't see a difference in game play. Same altered Pokemon fight screen and a different map. Wondering why Nintendo consoles are not selling as well as before....But at last my son is growing to be a teenager and these games will no longer appeal to him.

After missing so many pokemon games in between, I recently played pokemon X and most recently omega ruby. After completing both of these games, here is what thought of omega ruby. *************************************************************************PROS************************************************************************* Combat/level up gameplay: This is the number one reason to play the game. It offers strategic combat and rpg like leveling system. I find such gameplay to be highly addictive. I like the ideas of unlocking new moves by leveling little monsters and creating a unique team to overcome a variety of challenges. Evolution/Mega-evolution: This is what really got me into the pokemon series. Not only you combat and level up with your pokemons but many of them evolve into meaner and tougher creature as combat and level them up. I really love the design of some of them. I also like the the concept of mega-evolution. It pumps the combat with even more energy. Story/Journey: I found the story/journey of this game to be the most fun of all the pokemon games I have played so far. I especially liked the ending scence after you become the champion. With me exploring as much as I can on my own, this game has lasted me 80 hr plus. Post-game bonus story: As if the story was not enough, this game offers a post game story called delta episode where you dive even deeper into the main story while combating new foes and catching rarer pokemons. Love it. Variety of pokemon: This is perhaps one of the strongest suit of this game. It offers a huge variety of pokemons. So most likely you will find some companions you will enjoy through your journey. And if you are collector, you will find yourself playing this game for a very long time. Legendaries: This game has a decent amount of legendaries. Some say that is too much. I say there is no such thing as too many legendaries. I enjoyed catching all of them. Open world/rematches: Like previous game, it is an open world system that you gradually unlock. Liked the idea of re-visiting places and having rematch with different in story players. Graphics: Big improvement in graphics compared to games before pokemon x/y. Definitely makes playing this game more rewarding. Timing(the good): A lot of things such as mega evolution and certain legendaries are unlocked relatively early in the game. A big plus!! Online component: Online battles, trading etc. is also a plus. *************************************************************************CONS************************************************************************* Missed opportunities/Timing(the bad): I feel that after so many generations, they should start unlocking things even earlier. For example a huge variety of regular as well as legendaries are not available to you till near the last gym. I feel that is too late. I say after 4th gym is a good time to unlock variety of pokemons. That way player can play with pokemon of their choice. Towards the end you do end up getting access to these pokemons but then there is relatively less to do with them (still this game is better than X/Y in terms of the post game activities.) Also not every journey needs to start with new novice character. After so many generation, it may be time to have an experienced character start the game and have early access to things such as mega-evolution. *************************************************************************CONCLUSION************************************************************************* I really enjoyed playing this game for the reasons described above. I am hoping I won't have to wait too long for the next installment in the series.

Even though I didn't know half of the Pokémon in the game, it still turned out to be a lot of fun.

If you buy one, you need to buy the other. It's Pokemon
