Pokémon Alpha Sapphire - Nintendo 3DS

I know this review is a few years late, however, as the saying goes better late than never eh? Pokemon Alpha Sapphire is a great game. I was amongst those who rushed through the game on his first playthrough so that I could get to the end game content and start breeding for competitive play. After all, I had played through the original Generation 3 games a myriad of times and there could only be so many things different with this remaster right? Well after rushing through the game, I started over and took my time and enjoyed the game. It was much better that way. Trying to catch all the Pokemon in any given area, raising up all the Pokemon I like etc. I really enjoy the DexNav and DexNav Shiny Chain hunting. Its not perfect though, and sometimes it will constantly tell you that the Pokemon you are searching for cannot be found and to search in another spot. Even if youve been chaining that Pokemon 50 times before this in succession. Its kinda annoying and even more so when you search the entire area and the DexNav doesnt find it. I really like O-Powers and the Battle Resort. It makes Masuda Method breeding really easy. And EV training in this game is great as well and its really cool how you can reset Pokemons EVs easily and Hyper Training is awesome. The GTS... overall is terrible. Most players are jack wagons who ask for legendary Pokemon like Celebi and Mew for their level 4 Hoppip and Sunkern so its not really of much use when trying to complete your Pokedex, however, this is of no fault of the developers. Overall I love this game. Even when Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon come out, I will still be playing it. I prefer EV training in Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby versus Sun and Moon.

Works great on my US 3DS

My daughter really enjoys playing this game!!! She has been non stop playing this game. She said it might be glitching though.. but nevertheless it’s a great game

Bien

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.

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.

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are enhanced remakes of the original Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, which released on the Game Boy Advance 11 years ago. A few necessary changes have been made to the original versions to keep up with the newer generations, and some additional features have been added to give the games a fresh feeling to veteran players. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ALPHA SAPPHIRE AND OMEGA RUBY Like usual, two versions of the same game are available. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are nearly identical; however, there are a few differences between the two that are larger than most alternate versions. The biggest alteration between the two versions is the main antagonist team. In Pokemon Omega Ruby, Team Magma will be the primary team you encounter throughout Hoenn. In Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, Team Aqua will be the primary team you encounter throughout Hoenn. VERSION EXCLUSIVE POKEMON In addition to slight story changes, select Pokemon will only be available in one of the versions. These version exclusive Pokemon are usually made to promote trading between players. All players can trade over wi-fi between X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire immediately after obtaining the Pokedex and installing the Player Search System app on the PokeNav Plus. Omega Ruby Exclusives--- Alpha Sapphire Exclusives Groudon ------------- Kyogre Latios ------------- Latias Mawile --------------- Sableye Seedot ---------------- Lotad Nuzleaf ---------------- Lombre Shiftry --------------- Ludicolo Solrock --------------- Lunatone Zangoose --------------Seviper Ho-Oh (Mirage Spots) --- Lugia (Mirage Spots) Palkia (Mirage Spots) --- Dialga (Mirage Spots) Reshiram (Mirage Spots)--- Zekrom (Mirage Spots) Tornadus (Mirage Spots)---- Thundurus (Mirage Spots) Kabuto (Fossils) --------- Omanyte (Fossils) Shieldon (Fossils) -------Cranidos (Fossils) Archen (Fossils) ------------ Tirtouga (Fossils) Skrelp (After Groudon)----------- Clauncher (After Kyogre) Throh (After Groudon) ------------ Sawk (After Kyogre) Mega Stones will not be version exclusive, but the locations of a handful of Mega Stones will change depending on the version. Also the looks of certian Mega-Evolved Pokemon will change depending on which version you have. Hope this helps anyone out!

This game is for the most part an excellent remake for an old favorite of mine. The only real issue I have is the particular feature of Dex nav which is a feature that tracks wild Pokemon on given routes. The biggest problem with this is that it can bring in may be about 10 levels higher then the others in the area, for earlier players this can be catastrophic to have to face and for me personally the Pokemon in those given circumstances have cost me half my team to bring just one down. That being said the higher levels are typically a lot more rare and youre usually notified when your target is one. Again I love this game and do recomend

I loved the first version of this game. The new pokedex features were awesome. One thing I disliked was how easy they made catching legendary pokemon. Another thing I disliked was the incessant rambling and cut-scenes. I also hated running back and forth for the last challenge after the Pokemon league. Again, the cut-scenes made it almost unbearable and almost ruined the game for me. In the originals, I loved the way the character walked. I thought it was adorable. Also, you cant act like youre sleeping in your bed at home, or relaxing in the mud at Lavaridge town like you could before. I loved those little details and was very disappointed to see them go. -PokeFangirl

Absolutely my favorite Gen. in the series. Hoenn is unlike any other region to date, there is nothing like it as well. The memories came rolling in as soon as the soundtrack tuned! This one scores huge nostalgia points with me as I was only 10 when RS hit America. I went for Ruby the first time around (which I paid for with hard earned house work cash - pretty good for a 10-year-old) so I decide to go with Alpha Sapphire. Gen 3 wasnt my first go in the series. I started watching the Anime in 1997, and first played Pokemon Gold 2001on a lime green Gameboy Color (which I also earned money for!!). Hoenn holds a dear spot in my memories and Heart (Heart Gold... Pun lol!). I would most certainly recommend this to old fans and newcomers alike. Also, those of you who started after the Third Gen. or simply think you are too old, well... think again. Nobody is to old for Mons. Do yourself a solid and pick up a copy. I still havent progressed very far past the second gym due to the awesome new features; the DexNav to be specific. So many awesome new feature -- no Battle Frontier, however. Pick up one of these titles for sure. If you have doubts then put them aside. Hope you all enjoy as much as I do.
