I got a lotta hoes in Hoenn
i simply cannot play this game over pokemon emerald because the text is really ugly
My favourite Pokemon gen. Treecko gang.
Not enough water actually
Groundon's gotta be my favorite legendary pokemon.
Yes the one I cheated with
As a follow-up to Crystal this was very disappointing at the time, especially prior to the release of Colosseum & Fire Red/Leaf Green with the limited classic Pokémon available. As a stand alone adventure I still find it unremarkable but it was not my first Pokémon game so I have no rose tinted glasses for it. Emerald makes this game redundant and is in my opinion an overall better way to experience this region, recommended to play that version instead.
Great game. Okay story. Cool designs and visuals. Great OST.
Everyone gives the IGN dude a hard-time for "too much water" but he was absolutely right! Half of Hoenn is either water, or land that you have to access by crossing long stretches of water. Everyone agrees caves suck because of the seemingly endless random encounters, but don't mind water when the encounters are just as frequent and just as unavoidable.
That being said it's still a super strong entry in the series and an important piece of Pokemon's first 3 core generations.

Pónganle condón al Groudon que ya se viene.
Não é o melhor pokémon mas é o meu favorito e o que mais me marcou e me engajou na franquia.
Incredibly overrated
Trumpet music
Had too much water, and in some ways was 1 step forward, 2 steps backward compared to GSC.
My first Pokemon game, and definitely most nostalgic. I love the Pokemon design and music in the game. Story is good. Graphics are pretty good.
Years after been a kid that grew up with Pokemon Anime, to play my first Pokemon game was a delight, so much that i have finished this game like 4, to 5 times (until now), Ruby truly does a lot for the time of it's release and it will always be one of my favorite games.
Solid games full of personality, but eclipsed by both successors and predecessors.
Torchic
More like doody
A return to static sprites after Crystal made a sad boy.
It was my first pokemon game and I had so much fun playing the game. It has great soundtrack, pretty cool legendaries and cool geography. It is just a bit unbalanced as Sp.atk and Atk moves where divided by type which did not help a lot of Pokemons in the game.
It isn't really that different from Pokémon Sapphire, which I have played many times, so this playthrough is mostly just because. I guess I will judge it based on the differences, and I think the roster in this game is pretty great. Maybe even better than in Sapphire; I certainly prefer Zangoose over Seviper, and Shiftry over Ludicolo for instance. So, if you wanna know my opinion, go to my Sapphire review, it basically still holds true.
Too much water
My first GBA Pokémon game. I remember playing it for hours and hours, my savefile had more than 600 hours registered! Discovering Hoenn was amazing and always chose Torchic. I still have my Blaziken from my Ruby, it's a very old and beautiful piece of data that currently lies in my Ultra Moon. Of course later I got Emerald and prefered with that, it was just better, but Ruby remains as a classic alongside Sapphire. I sold my Ruby when I was like 16, I don't know why... I really regret that and I am considering getting it again just to have all GBA games from these series and running another playthrough in wonderful Hoenn every now and then...
yoinked this from my best friend in kindergarten
They remasered this on the 3DS too! Hours spent combing every part of the map on the Game Boy Advance, still have it fully functioning to this day. There was no doubt a Pokemon game would make my top 5 and it goes to this one for being my first.
i own a fake copy of this game thank you to my dad for buying it for me off of ebay when I was 8
Trumpets
My first venture into the Pokemon world!
