Is it still worth playing?
Game Freak's 2002 role playing games Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire for the Game Boy Advance, the first of the third generation. It is played from an overhead perspective. You begin with one Pokémon and capture more with Poké Balls. When you meet a wild Pokémon or a trainer challenges you, the screen switches to a turn based battle where you can use a move, use an item, switch your active Pokémon or flee. All Pokémon have hit points, and one that reaches zero faints. Most evolve into a new species at a certain level. Even now, choosing among a move, an item and a switch gives every turn a small decision.
