Pokemon Ruby Version is an RPG released in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance. Players take on the role of a young Trainer embarking on a journey to capture and train creatures called Pokémon. The main objective is to become the Pokémon Champion by defeating Gym Leaders and the Elite Four while thwarting the plans of the villainous Team Magma.
The gameplay pace balances exploration, strategic battles, and collection. Players navigate various towns, routes, and caves, encountering wild Pokémon to catch and train. Battles are turn-based, requiring tactical decisions based on type advantages and move sets. The game features a unique mechanic known as Pokémon Contests, where Pokémon compete in non-battle competitions focusing on style and appeal rather than strength.
Distinctive elements include the introduction of the Hoenn region, diverse environments, and double battles, allowing two Pokémon on each side. This adds depth to combat strategy. Additionally, the game emphasizes team building and trading to complete the Pokédex, encouraging interaction through link cables. These features contribute to its lasting appeal in the Pokémon series.
