Pokémon Alpha Sapphire - Nintendo 3DS

Great game, but Im sort of bummed that they did away with a lot of the qualities that made X/Y such a strong and revolutionary generation for Pokemon. I havent found myself nearly as sucked into the story in this one as I expected that I would be, which is weird because Emerald was my favorite Pokemon game prior to this. Anyway. Still a good game. Kinda wish I wouldve gone with Omega Ruby now that Im sufficiently sick of Archies face, but thats not really a complaint.

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.

I purchased this game for my five year old, new to handheld gaming. A month later, its all he ever talks about. It is by far his favorite DS game. He has the New 3ds XL, and the graphics on the game are fantastic. I havent seen a Pokémon game in action since Gameboy Color days and, well, this is totally new-gen. The storyline is immersing and he is able to follow it mostly without help. The game play is fluid and easy to follow, and the graphics! Once he finishes this one Im going to buy him the Omega Ruby to play through, too.

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.

This game takes a while to get interesting. It felt like a chore compared to Pokemon X until about a third or a half of the way through the game. Its more of a rehash of the original Sapphire than I had hoped, but once you get to a certain point, this game is great. Im a sucker for nostalgia, so the (mostly) same old adventure with new moves and game mechanics is a lot of fun.

Usually I am not a huge fan of remakes, but I did not buy a 3DS for a very long time and I missed out on a lot of the new games. Long ago, I had a copy of ruby for my gameboy SP and I lost it somewhere when I was just 3 away from catching them all. I got this on a whim because I read online that between the new Ruby/Sapphire and X/Y you can catch everything with only one generations worth of games. That and the addition of the online trading made this the perfect game to finally fulfill my childhood fantasy of catching them all. It only took me 15 years to do it!

Super game - especially if you havent played the original versions! Great game for first timers, not so much for people whove played it already. Even if you have, the newer features and online play make for a good reason to replay. Now - I know the game feels fundamentally the same as Pokemon X/Y, and has recycled a lot of the features there - but regardless - you can still feel an affinity towards this game in general - and is solid pokemon - and has some great changes to the pokemon roster you can enjoy. 5 stars for newcomers, 4 stars for returning players (basically the older games with new features). Im new, so 5.

I love this remake of the epic game that was the highlight of my childhood. It has tons of extra content in it that changes it from the original. Unlike the Heartgold and Soulsilver remake, it wont give you a week of extra content, rather maybe 2 days worth. If you would want to kill some time, flip that 3ds and play this game. At best, I bet you could play this for 2-3 weeks if you are new to the Pokemon franchise, 1 week if you are familar with the franchise, and 21-3 days if you are hardcore and willing to speed run this. Just like every other Pokemon game, you may gret bored of this after completing the game.

I got this for my 10 year old son. He loves it! It is exactly what he thought it would be.

game is a 5 star the 3 star review is because the version I purchased was the US/Canada one but they sent me the U.A.E./Saudi Arabia/Malaysia/Singapore version this will work in the US/Canada but is not the same or worth the same amount.
