Pokémon Sapphire's updated graphics with weather effects, amazing sound, more than 200 Pokémon with over 100 new species--as well as its faithful adherence to the existing series of Pokémon games--makes for a welcome evolution in the series. First, the game has a lot in common with Pokémon games Silver, Gold, and Crystal. For example, players can choose to be a boy or a girl trainer, an internal clock sets events at certain times, and the game's handy-dandy Pokédex helps players keep track of the many stats. You're main goal is still to beat all the Gym Trainers and become the Pokémon Master. If you've played the old games, you will be right at home. But not all is the same. The most obvious change is in the battles themselves. Now that two Pokémon can fight on your side at the same time, you can tag-team them against an enemy by taking advantage of the strengths of your Pokémons while covering their weaknesses. For example, you can now have a water Pokémon watch your fire Pokémon's back. You can also attack more than one Pokémon at a time. A whole new element to the game focuses on how berries are used in battle. And if you collect enough berries, you can take them to a Berry Blender and make a PokéBlock, which is a little super-charged candy that raises your Pokémon's "Condition" attributes. You can then groom your Pokémon for regional contests and compete for ribbons like "Best of Show," which will unlock additional contests. There's even strategy in how to best use your berries: pick too many and the berry tree will disappear; plant berries, though, and a tree will grow. You can also build a Secret Base in special areas of the game, which you can decorate just like you can your room. And let us not forget that Pokémon Sapphire has a kickin' multiplayer system, too. You can trade Pokémon, and link up to four players for incredible battles. The only downside is that you can't link up with the old Game Boy Color games. --Bryan Karsh Pros: - You can control two Pokémon in battle
- Much needed graphic and sound facelift
- Nice multiplayer feature (requires link cable and extra game cartridge)
Cons: - Can't trade Pokémon with Game Boy Color

 Sapphire Blue July 19, 2008
I have to say, compared to the other pokemon games such as Crystal and the very first ones this game isn't too bad. I'm about half way through the game and it has a lot of the same concepts. Not a lot of familiar pokemon though and as far as I know, none of the original three, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle are in there either. You start as a different character and I gotta say that's not bad but overall the game is fun but it gets a little too much like the same old.

 for the kids July 13, 2008
This preson went out her way to make me happy. Had trouble with first game I sent it back and she sent me a new one.. The kids are happy so am I..
Good Buy July 10, 2008
I purchased the game for my grandson. He says he is enjoying it very much and the price was great.
As usual the product was delivered in a timely fashion.
 Another Pokemon Review by me.. March 10, 2008
Pokemon Sapphire another Pokemon game to the Pokemon franchise. This game and its counter part Ruby are nearly identical. You start off as a wet behind the ears kid who wants to become the Pokemon Champion. You play the game through with third generation Pokemon with some second and first gen as well.
Probably the hardest of the series, but a great compliment to diamond/pearl February 6, 2008
I've been playing pokemon since the very first games came out over 10 years ago. The pokemon series has gone through some major changes since then, but they still deliver solid RPG's that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. I'd have to say Ruby/Sapphire are the most challenging of the series, but it's still a fun game with a lot of things to do. you could spend months trying to find all the secrets in the game and still not find them all. And if you're obsessed with capturing Legendary pokemon like I am, this is an invaluable part of your pokemon library (I bought this so that i could capture legendaries to transfer to pokemon diamond). It's slightly dated now and lacks some of the features and fluff of the new games, but it's still very fun and worth buying.
