Nov 21, 2014amazing, this game brings back memories of the gen 3 trio. the exp share is again over powered and makes an unwanted return. alot of the starting trainers seem to have full restores which is a bit ridiculous for the starting area. The music is still awesome, and all the trainers we remember are still here. This game is definitely a must own.

Jan 25, 2016One of my favourite games as a child in Ruby remade so well when it first came out I played it non-stop until I completed it I haven't played it much recently but it is still a wonderful game and I'm glad it was made.

Aug 11, 2018The 3ds era was amazing and did wonders to many nintendo series, but specially for pokemon and fire emblem. It brought many gems, and Omega Ruby, fitting for its name, is one of them.
A sweet post-game story. Fixing problems the original Ruby had, pokenav, amie, and so much to do it's one of the best pokemon games up until this point, only surpassed by its sucessors in the following gen. -
Dec 10, 2014This is a very good remake of the old and nostalgic games. Plus, u have many legendaries and mega evolutions to obtain during the post game. The graphics are absolutely stunning

Nov 28, 2014I didn't love the original gen 3 but I love the remake. Quite a bit has changed since the original games on the Game Boy Advanced such as environments. Great game

Nov 25, 2014This is my favorite Pokemon game of all time. It adds so many features that it might as well be its own generation. Music was great too. The nostalgia from the originals was so great, but anyone who hasn't played the original will still love this.

Feb 15, 2015This game perfectly brings back my fond memories of pokemon emerald. It also improves upon Pokemon X, and steals hours of my life, from running around and collecting badges, to going around and collecting flags from people's bases.

On a serious note; the game is amazing. Truly a fantastic remake of the original games: Ruby and Sapphire!
Great nostalgia; with added features that were really fun to play through! -

Jun 9, 2016Pros:
Its Pokemon.
They added a language selection. Now I can use Pokemon to help study Japanese.
Cons:
As a remake you may have sort of played this one before, minus newer features.
Overall:
Its Pokemon. You already know what you are getting into. Nintendo made yet another quality game while keeping it fresh. 10/10 -

Dec 4, 2014It's the game with the best story yet. You truly feel compelled to catch all the Pokemon out there, you truly feel like you're saving the world and hey, it's always nice to have some new mega evolutions. Some of them are overpowered. My only complaint is the post-game. It's empty.

Nov 26, 2014Better than XY by far. XY was okay at best. I liked it but the exploration was rather nonexistent, the story was a little bit better.
In the other hand, OR AS managed to take Pokemon back in track. Great exploration, great story, fair challenge.
Even if you are not into Pokemon, OR AS is a great game. period. -
Dec 8, 2014Great remake of the original GBA games. Graphics and sound have been updated and some areas are completely different, making it a fresh experience even for veteran players.

Dec 2, 2014Great game and graphics I definitely recommend buying, I like the original a lot but I think this just beats it but it would not be my favourite of the new pokemon games.

CD-ActionFeb 7, 2015If you haven’t played Pokémons since the first Game Boy, give Omega Ruby a try, because there’s just no way you’re going to be disappointed with it. It’s the same game you remember, just better. [01/2015, p.75]

Jan 28, 2015A much better experience than what was expected. The change in the rhythm and the emphasis in the story elements manage to captivate the player in a way that the Game Boy Advance versions couldn’t.
