Game InformerRather than ushering in something new, Pokemon's first foray on the Game Boy Advance is just another rehash with flashy new graphics. [Apr 2003, p.96]
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyI just can't shake the feeling that I've played these games three or four times before - and the new garnish isn't enough to take the series to the next level. [May 2003, p.139]
-
GMR MagazineRuby and Sapphire stick to the script - there are few surprises here. Yes, the world is all new, and yes, there are 100 new Pokemon, but it's still basically the same game. [June 2003, p.78]
-
Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire isn't without its charm, and for those in it for a cheerful little adventure with little in the way of challenge can't go far wrong. Just don't blame us when you start wondering what all the fuss is about.
-
It's hard to shake the feeling that this has all been done before -- and that the Gold/Silver/Crystal versions did it better.
-
While the sound and control is top notch, not enough was improved upon to really make this game any more intersting that it's GB and GBC brethren.
-
The gameplay becomes more work than play and turning on the game starts to feel like punching in for a shift with little motivation to continue.

Jul 10, 2012Somewhat of a step back from the Gold and Silver games (which I believe were the best in the series) but it's Pokemon, what could you ask for?????????
