Back in my days, Pok?mon was like the biggest thing around! I mean, You couldn't go one place without seeing someone playing Pok?mon on their Game boy! It was practically amazing, Pok?mon WAS one of the best animes around, You can't lie on that, I had like literately all of the games...And the one I remember the most is this one, Pok?mon ruby, This is without a doubt, The greatest game I have ever played on the Game boy advance! And the greatest Pok?mon game I have ever played as well.

Story-7/10
The main plot behind this big adventure is that The game will let you start off by picking a boy or a girl, Once you pick, Then you start naming your character and jump right into the action! Okay the actual story is that some new origination called team magma is planning to wipe out the entire sea to make room for to make themselves some new land/mass for their Pok?mon, to do this, They will use some extraordinary Pok?mon called Groudon to help out with their plan. It is now up to you save the day!

Gameplay-9/10
Pokemon ruby plays like your typical Pok?mon game, You control a?boy or a girl, and you basically run around doing quests and well, Catching Pok?mon! Overtime, the Pok?mon will be hidden in bushes, so if you run through bushes, then you will engage into battle and have to use your Pok?mon to battle the one you found! Like all other Pok?mon titles, There are a large amount of Pok?mon to find, And finding all of them Will take sheer wit and patience! Overtime also, You will be asked by certain people to duel with them, and once you do, You will have to use all the Pok?mon you have to take out your opponent. After completing battles, You will be rewarded a big amount of experience points for your Pok?mon that you used, Once you collect a large amount of experience, Your Pok?mon will level up, and they will get more powerful and tougher then usual. All this Pok?mon to find capture makes up for some serious large amount of replay value. Winning battles against characters can also win you a big amount of loot, Which can be used at the Pok?mon mart to buy cool stuff such as potions to heal your Pok?mon's health, Poke balls which will let you capture Pok?mon, And a whole lot of more. To capture Pok?mon, It's simple! Just start a battle with a loose Pok?mon, Then select Poke ball from the command menu, Then It is all yours to keep! That is pretty much it for the gameplay I guess....

Graphics-9/10
My eyes, This game was made in like what? 2003? And It most certainly astonishing, Heck! This is probably the best looking Pok?mon I have ever seen in my whole life! The graphics are so breathtakingly beautiful, And the environments, locales and places you will be exploring are Big, Gorgeous and bursting with color. I will say this once, and only once Nintendo, Pok?mon has got to be by far, One of your best looking series, Which says alot for the console titles, Those are pretty good as well! But nothing near as good as this title! All the Pok?mon are detailed as well, They are all cute, detailed and overall very nice looking, But there are so many of them! I can't even remember what all of them look like, Oh well, It's Pok?mon! What to expect? If I had to pick the most gorgeous game series on the Game boy advance, I would totally pick Pok?mon all the way! Great job Nintendo!

Sound-10/10
Ah the Pok?mon soundtrack, Let's all give a big round of applause to Junichi masuda! He is the man who has composed the beautiful soundtrack to all of the amazing Pok?mon titles, I wonder where He is today....But anyways, The soundtrack is probably the best I have ever heard in?A game boy advance game, It is beautifully orchestrated, And everything sounds amazing. Same goes with the sound effects, They are your typical Pok?mon stuff, But who cares? Least they are great. There are of course a bunch of rememberable songs in the Pok?mon series which have been saved in our heads for god knows how long. Anyways, That is pretty much it for the soundtrack! Take care junichi! Keep doing the soundtrack...I love it.

Addictiveness-10/10
How can this game not be fun everybody? It is certainly the most fun you will ever have on the Game boy advance! Is this a game that I will play again? OF COURSE! How can people hate Pok?mon? It is one of the greatest series Ever brought to us by Nintendo and Hal laboratory! I am never going to shelf this game! It doesn't deserve ANY of that stuff....

Depth-10/10
Of course I am giving this game?a 10 on depth! It offers SO much for you to do!? There is so much Pok?mon, badges, and all other kinds of stuff to be unlocked in this game! Say I owned this game for? a long time, And I have already 100% it....I mean sure It? takes alot of time to get everything, But thats the point, Pok?mon titles are supposed to last you a VERY VERY long time.

Difficulty-6/10
I say, for Pok?mon, This isn't really that hard, But still, It is still quite challenging in most parts, But OMG! The final boss, He took me at least a week to get past! But other then that, The rest of the game is otherwise a cakewalk....It never ever gave me that much trouble. Which is a good thing for me!

Overall-10/10
What else can a guy like me say? YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME. It is without a shadow of a doubt one of?THE best games you can get on the Game boy advance today, Sure theres Mario and all of that, But there is Pok?mon still! After all,? It is one of Nintendo best?series ever! So buy this game! I gave this game a 10 because how amazingly fun it is and how much it offers for you to do in the end, SO just go ahead and buy it now!
