Pokemon Ruby Version - Game Boy Advance

This game is really fun and should not be missed. But some people that sell the game (most all of them) have a fake copy or are trying to sell you a fake copy. These fakes work fine but they will randomly delete all your save data and most of the time not let you transfer your pokemon. These fakes can be spotted by just looking at the game card. If it has a label that's put on poorly (aka by hand) its most likely a fake. One sure way to tell is to look at the inside of the game. If you can see a yellow circle hidden slightly by the sticker on the front, ITS A FAKE. The yellow thing is a battery that's cheaper and wont last as long. But the most sure way to tell if the game is fake is by turning it on. If it goes the the title fine it may still be fake. Pressing start should bring up the the save file. If its say's something like "The game data can be loaded" then "The game can be played" THIS IS 100% SURE A FAKE. I hope this helps any one trying to get a good real copy of this game. The best way to not end up with a fake is saddly just to buy a new one, even though its gonna cost a lot.

I ordered off of the seller, lollipop3, 3 times already and I would absolutely order off of this seller againI’ve ordered leafgreen, legend of Zelda classic nes series, and this game, rubyWithout getting off topic with the other carts, the ruby cart is 100% authentic and I don’t remember what the posted condition was, but it is in very good quality and looks like as though it has been used very, very slightly or has been through normal day usageThe sticker isn’t peeling anywhere nor is it in any bad shape. Also the cart’s shell isn’t damaged eitherAlso props to the seller putting the warning in the listing that the internal battery is dry so I could get some batteries ahead of timeAll I need now at the time of making this review is Pokémon Red and I’ll have all of the mainline Pokémon gb/gbc/gba games and then I’ll work on getting all of the DS games and when I do, I’ll make sure to look out for any of lollipop3’s listings.

I’m 28 years old and this game is still a lot of fun! I’d recommend Ruby version to someone my age Or kids if they’d give it a shot.

Product doesn’t function tried in three different game boys doesn’t read as a game cartridge at all. Save your money

It is a legitimate copy of sapphire and has a new battery, but works just fine. One way to identify a real copy is to see if the the back of the motherboard has the 4 small rectangles on the top left and three circles going down on the right. On the outside of the cartridge there is usually more often than not a number stamped into the sticker.

The media could not be loaded. This is the cartridge without a box. It arrived in decent condition and plays just fine. There was only one issue with the internal battery having died. This isn't a deal breaker for me as it's a very common issue with pokemon cartridge games. The game will still save and play, but "clock based events no longer occur". (The berry trees regrowing, etc.) You can buy and install a new battery if you need, but it's still playable without one. I got sucked into this and haven't played anything else since. Well worth it in my opinion.

I missed out on Generation 3 of Pokémon when I was a kid, and I wanted to get a GBA game. I saw Pokémon Ruby for sale and was a bit worried when I saw the pictures—I mean they did hit the right notes as to real vs fake cartridges (imprinted numbers on the label, the quadrants on the top left corner in the back of the board), but I wanted to see it for myself. After getting it, I’m absolutely pleased with the purchase. This cartridge is in better quality than I expected: it was at an affordable price, it’s clean, no “dried battery” message—it feels like I got this game when it first came out! I’m glad I get to experience the third generation of Pokémon in an authentic way (on top of being able to get Regigigas in a legit method now, migrating the three Regis over to Diamond/Pearl/Platinum)

I have played Pokemon Red, Yellow, and Gold (along with all of the side-game like Stadium, Dash, etc). Compared to R, Y, and G, this one (though graphically advanced) falls short for me. The added graphics are great and the colors are vibrant, so are the side-quests, but eventually it all comes down to a Pokemon game is a Pokemon game is a Pokemon formatted game. Unfortunately, this time, there are so many things to do that pokemon suddenly "biting" you in the grass or water is a quick annoyance. Unfortunately again, it becomes a choice between training your pokemon and doing the quests you're so eager to do. Maybe I'm just impatient? There are a lot of new things to do, like Pokemon contests (you may have seen these on D&P in season 11), and Poke blocks. The Poke block mini game is quite fun, but repetitive after a time. You start to get annoyed that the old man playing with you keeps missing so much even though you're perfect and therefore makes the quality of your blocks sub-par. You also never really know where to go in the game. I spent who knows how long wandering around before I happened to chance upon that I had to go back to Lavaridge to complete a quest before I could continue. Mind, I was halfway across the "world" from Lavaridge at that point, having just naturally defeated the gym leader that the game had led me to. That's just one of the places I got stuck in. I got stuck about 8 times a day (playing about 6 hours a day on and off), not exaggerating. The game gives you no hints in this regard. I played up until Shoal cave (after Mossdeep city) and put the game down. I may pick it up later, but right now, I've had enough. I wouldn't suggest this for someone playing Pokemon for the first time. This is more for someone who wants to play Pokemon because they like the genre and want to play another Pokemon game after having several under their belt. Some people say that this is their favorite Pokemon game of all, so everyone's experience is different. Don't let my review keep you from playing this game. You may find you like it and go, "hey...that reviewer is an idiot XD"
