The games were first released in Japan in late 2002 and internationally in 2003. ''Pokémon Emerald'', a special edition version, was released two years later in each region. These three games (''Pokémon Ruby'', ''Sapphire'', and ''Emerald'') are part of the third generation of the ''Pokémon'' video game series, also known as the "advanced generation". A remake of the two games, titled ''Omega Ruby'' and ''Alpha Sapphire'', were released for the Nintendo 3DS worldwide on November 21, 2014, exactly twelve years to the date of the original ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' release date, with the exception of Europe, where it was released on November 28, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire )〕 The gameplay is mostly unchanged from the previous games; the player controls the main character from an overhead perspective, and the controls are largely the same as those of previous games. As with previous games, the main objectives are to catch all of the Pokémon in the games and defeat the Elite Four (a group of Pokémon trainers); also like their predecessors, the games' main subplot involves the main character defeating a criminal organization that attempts to take over the region. New features, such as double battles and Pokémon abilities along with 135 new Pokémon, have been added. As the Game Boy Advance is more powerful than its predecessors, four players may be connected at a time instead of the previous limit of two. Additionally, the games can be connected to an e-Reader or other advanced generation ''Pokémon'' games. ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' received mostly positive reviews, though critics were divided in their assessment of the games, especially on the gameplay and graphics. Most of the complaints focused on the fact that the gameplay had not changed much since previous generations. With the popularity of Pokémon on the decline at the time, the games sold less than previous generations. However, they were still commercial successes; with around 16 million copies sold according to IGN, they are the best-selling games for the Game Boy Advance. ==Gameplay== (詳細はthird-person, overhead perspective and consists of three basic screens: a field map, in which the player navigates the main character; a battle screen; and the menu, in which the player configures his party, items, or gameplay settings. The player begins the game with one Pokémon, and can capture more using Poké Balls. The player can also use his/her Pokémon to battle other Pokémon. When the player encounters a wild Pokémon or is challenged by a trainer to a battle, the screen switches to a turn-based battle screen where the Pokémon fight. During battle, the player may fight, use an item, switch his/her active Pokémon, or flee (the last is not an option in battles against trainers). All Pokémon have hit points (HP); when a Pokémon's HP is reduced to zero, it faints and cannot battle until it is revived. If the player's Pokémon defeats the opposing Pokémon (causes it to faint), it receives experience points. After accumulating enough experience points, it may level up; most Pokémon evolve into a new species of Pokémon when they reach a certain level.〔''Pokémon Sapphire Version instruction booklet'', p. 35〕 Apart from battling, capturing Pokémon is the most essential element of ''Pokémon'' gameplay. During battle with a wild Pokémon (other trainers' Pokémon cannot be captured), the player may use a Poké Ball on the wild Pokémon. If successful, the Pokémon will be added to the player's active party (or stored if the player already has the maximum six Pokémon in his/her party).〔''Pokémon Sapphire Version instruction booklet'', p. 37〕 Factors in the success rate of capture include the HP (and/or status effects such as Paralysis or Sleep,) of the target Pokémon and the strength of the Poké Ball used: the lower the target's HP and the stronger the Poké Ball, the higher the success rate of capture is.〔''Pokémon Sapphire Version instruction booklet'', p. 32〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
