Pokémon Alpha Sapphire - Nintendo 3DS

I had the original Sapphire and Emerald when they first came out--Emerald was my favorite game in the Pokemon series until X and Y, so I was a bit nervous to hear they were re-releasing that it was going to be like Leaf Green--new Pokemon but not much new content. NO. WAY. Theres SO much to do, the storyline is a bit different, and I still havent finished even weeks later. SOOOO GOOD. Am probably going to go back and buy ORuby because Im greedy for more. <3

I never played the original Alpha Sapphire game on GBA, but this remake on 3DS is great. The adventure is your standard Pokemon adventure where you get a starter Pokemon that you battle with to catch more and more Pokemon. There are a total of 8 gyms, which come with a few easy puzzles to solve, pretty standard stuff. Ive played at least 10 different Pokemon games all the way through from the original Blue Version, Yellow Version, Gold, Silver, and Crystal versions. I also played Diamond, Heart Gold, and Soul Silver, and Pokemon X. If youre looking for an adventure that will be fun and give you a dose of good old Pokemon adventure time this is a great title. It took me 18.5 hours to finish the game all the way through, so there is a great amount of value to be had here. I bought this game for $30 so that is $1.62 per hour of entertainment.

For those of you who have never played ruby and sapphire this game Is a must. They have stripped down the old hoenn and made it better than before. There Is a plethora of things to do and you may find ORAS taking up most of your free time. However, those familiar with the RSE games and didnt like them may find ORAS more of the same thing. Game freak really did good on this game and it is certainly a must for RSE fans. It would take forever too list all the good things about this game and I will strongly recommend you try it for yourself. (Beware, there is no battle frontier in this game And there is still tons of water, so if those are deal breakers for you dont buy it.)

I am very happy with this remake. I loved Pokemon as a kid and still do in my adulthood. Alpha Sapphire does a great job retelling the store of the third generation with a nicely updated graphical style from the seventh generation games. There are some new things and enough changes to keep the game fresh, while still staying true to the originals so that a returning player can reminisce and remember the fun times had on their Gameboy Advance years ago. Definitely a great game for new and returning players alike.

Delivered much quicker than I thought it would and also arrived in great condition. As for the game, I am enjoying it and love Pokemon a lot.

Pokémon alpha for all my giga chads out there

Very good

There was a difference in opinion here on whether this game actually worked in a 2DS console. Of course 3DS games in general can play in 2 dimensional format in a 2DS console, however that was theoretical information. I needed someone who had *actually* played the game in a real 2DS console. Also the outside of the package says Playable in 2D, however that is not the same as saying this actually works in a 2DS console. It simply means that you can play the game in 3 dimensions or move the slide to make it play in only 2 dimensions. Finally, you now have real confirmation. We bought this as a Christmas gift and on Christmas day it was inserted into an actual 2DS player console and it works and plays fine! No more guessing or suppositions.

The original Sapphire is my third favorite Pokemon game in the franchise behind Gold in first and Red in second. And this updated version makes it even better! With better graphics. The updated moves/types. Even the new Mega Evolutions implemented in this. This game was outstanding. Plus theres even a story after the main story but I wont go into that because of spoilers but it was fantastic. What a great game to get ready and prepare the wait for Pokemon Sun and Moon!

Fully wrapped and new despite being said it was “used.” Good deal for $34.
