A Must Play Game For Any Pokemon Fan
As someone who's played every single Pokemon title ever, including racking up several hundred hours in pokemon sapphire for the GBA, I was anxiously awaiting this title! A full 3d revamp of one of my favorite games was not to be missed. And Nintendo nailed it out of the park with this title. I've been playing it since midnight and haven't stopped since. There are legendary pokemon to catch, bases to decorate, and cities to fly to.
Graphics
The graphics look great. If you're not familiar with the games, it's a 3D'ish isometric perspective with brand new 3d angles that make the game feel like it's a brand new entry. If you played Pokemon X and Y, it's reminscent of that. The battle animations are fantastic and overall add more depth to the game.
Gameplay
Many of the new features that are in Pokemon X and Y are brought over to Sapphire and Omega Ruby, including Pokemon Amie where you can pet and play with your Pokemon in order to build stronger bonds with...
Nostalgia for days
I'm a longtime Pokemon fan. I still own my original GBA copies of Ruby and Emerald. The reason I bought Alpha Sapphire is because I originally played Ruby and wanted to try something different this time. It's great seeing Hoenn remastered in 3D. For anyone who's played pokemon, the concept is still the same. Start off in your hometown, get your 1st pokemon from a pokemon professor, start your journey to become pokemon league champion, get a rival, beat some gyms, couple sidequests along the way, beat the elite four, become champion, and enjoy post-game (or start over). Yet for some reason, I can't help myself but to buy into it year after year.
I'll make this review short by outlining some key things to consider before buying this game.
- No battle frontier
- No character customization like in X/Y
- Lots of legendary pokemon to catch post-game
- Nostalgia for days - lots of throwbacks and references to the original RSE
- Upgraded flying...
The game is a fantastic remake to it's original
The game is a fantastic remake to it's original. The graphics are beautiful, essentially the same as X/Y and the gameplay is smooth. People complain about "too much water" so pay them no mind since I'm sure they complained about the same thing in their originals. A must have for Pokemon fans and especially for those who love the original Ruby and Sapphire
