Pokemon Trainers and Masters unite! An all new Pokemon adventure begins. Over 100 new Pokemon plus many of your favourites. Stunning new worlds. Enhanced graphics. 2-on-2 battles.

In the latest versions there are two new teams of evil doers. In Pokémon Ruby players must thwart Team Magma’s plans to cause volcanic eruptions and extend the landmass. In Pokémon Sapphire, players must thwart Team Aqua’s plans to control the weather to raise the water levels of the oceans.

In the quest to become the Pokémon Champion, players explore an all new island called Hoenn, which is inhabited with never before seen Pokémon. The region of Hoenn is also bigger than the previous worlds of Johto and Kanto, with 16 different towns and cities to visit, with hidden caves and underwater areas to explore.

There is more than just new Pokémon to excite players, with many unique features never before seen in a Pokémon game. For the first time ever Pokémon Trainers can battle it out in 2-on-2 battles. Given that each Pokémon offers unique strengths and weaknesses, doubling the number of Pokémon that can battle at once, greatly enhances the depth of strategy and cunning trainers can employ. This feature also allows 4 players to battle it out in teams of two.
