Pokémon Alpha Sapphire - Nintendo 3DS

Talk about a blast from the past! I have played Pokemon since the first games came out. Red was my first game and every generation gets better and better. Ruby and Sapphire were my favorites back when they came out, then Emerald came out and that became my favorite, since it had new features and some other things I liked. I had read about these back in July of this year, and it made me get a 3DS on the same day they were released! Although it took me like 3 days of nonstop playing to defeat the E4, they seem a lot better than the originals. I did not play X or Y, or Black/White 2 so I was missing a lot of the new things that changed. The Delta episode in this game was amazing. I have only played Omega Ruby, but will play this soon. So if Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were enjoyable for you, you will like this a lot better!

I specifically chose this listing over others the product image did not show the UAE symbol on amazon. It was more expensive than the other listings I saw but I was willing to pay more for the official one. It was completely wrong, there are three different region codes represented in this product. Ive compared the cartridge with my other games very closely and it does seem to be legitimate, but Im still kind of upset the box is clearly not the original box. Im not opposed to used games but please just tell me up front so I know what Im buying.

As a long time Pokemon fan (since 96!) I just had to get Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. I had high expectations for this title after having watched the trailers a few dozen times. Let me say that this game far surpassed all of my expectations. Alpha Sapphire stays true to the nostalgia of the original title while also building upon and surpassing the experience. I enjoyed the graphics, the music, and the gameplay and highly recommend this game to both veterans and newbies alike.

This game is stunning and a great remake of my personal favorite generation. Emerald was my first pokemon game ever that I alone owned and didnt have to share with my older brothers and I played it probably 1000 times through. This remake makes playing the game fun all over again. A little bit dissapointed they removed the charachter customization that was in XY but its not needed. My dad also got Ruby version of this game and after exclusively playing pokemon yellow on an old game boy he really loves the new style of gameplay and the animations.

There isn’t an issue with the foreign variant of this game. The only difference between, the US version and this version, is the little circle that says it’s from Malaysia on it. That’s the only difference. The game itself works great, it saves and I’m able to go online, and trade Pokémon with others and my other 3ds.

As I stated for my Platinum review. This is not the U.S. version. I have inserted pics to prove the difference between the product shown, and the one received.Amazon needs to get on the ball and show accurate descriptions. I dont know what else to say... It works (starts up fine). If it has issues saving or anything else I will update this review. Im just unhappy cause I bought it NEW in hopes of collecting it. Whats the point of collecting a cheaper foreign variant? Thats just my gripe though and it may not matter to you. If you just want a game to play, I suggest you go to your local store, test and buy it there. If you order online, buy it used since your copy will likely not be the U.S. version anyway.

Absolutely amazing I expect to get a used version of the game in a smaller box but no brand new still sealed in the plastic absolutely 10 out of 10

NOSTALGIA! NOSTALGIA! NOSTALGIA! Oh, did I say this game has NOSTALGIA!? I did? Then my apologies, but I had to stress that. Im one of those people who after Gen IV said, No thanks to Pokémon. But guess what? Nintendo/ Game Freak just had to come up with a $40 bundle of NOSTALGIA! Pros: -3D Remake of RSE [Gen 3] -Gen 3 with Gen 6 features -DEXNAV DEXNAV DEXNAV -Super Training for EV training -Just imagine it, your freshly hatched level 1 Treecko with 252 special attack EVs, 252 speed EVs, and 4 special defense EVs -Mega Evolutions -Latias -Gen 3 with proper phys/spec stat split -Gen 3 with Gen 6 shiny rate -Gen 3 with Internet play <3 -Gen 3 was blessed by Lord Helix Con: -You will occasionally encounter the terribad post Gen 4 Pokémon Neutral: -Exp Share makes the game a breeze

Im happy and excited to get this physical copy, but I intentionally chose this option which was priced $6 higher than the world edition copy. I thought I was paying a bit more to get the NA edition, since theres no world edition circle on the image for this posting. Im not returning it since $6 isnt a huge difference, but Im disappointed for not getting the NA version.

Hoenn was never my favorite of the Pokemon regions. The remakes, while containing wonderful graphics, some really entertaining new mechanics, and an ever-present nostalgia factor, left me a little bored. I didnt have that urge that I just couldnt put the game down. Its been out for 3 months now, and Im just now getting around to finishing up the Elite Four and embarking on post-game. There are weeks that will go by without me even picking this game up. Its not something specific about the game that turns me off - there are just other things, other games, that Id just rather play more. That being said, technically, this game is the best one to date. Encountering Pokemon in the actual world, and being able to sneak up on them, is a real blast. I also like the addition of the DexNav, which for a completionist like me, allows me to keep track of what Pokemon Ive encountered on a route and how many of those Ive managed to catch. The addition of overworld flying on Latios/Latias is actually pretty cool, and bring the idea of flying from place to place to a whole new level. There were also more story line additions this game, with cut scenes that broke away from the character sprite to give the game a bit more world feel - not everything occurs right in front of you. I dont know how thrilled I am about being able to catch every legend - on the one hand, I think its a great idea to make everyone feel like there is plenty to keep them engrossed in the game. Legends arent just for hardcore Pokemon gamers (which I am not). But, they kind of feel like they lose their special qualities when I know everyone is going to have them. Overall, I give the game 4 stars, because I still want to finish it. I just dont enjoy it enough to sit there for 4-6 hours a day, grinding through the game as fast as I can to see what happens next. I do think, however, that they added enough to keep it interesting, and Im excited to see what is next for the franchise that I have (literally) grown up with.
