ruby or saphire? ruby...or saphire?

[PsYchOtiC]

I am going to get either Ruby or Saphire!

Which one is better? two people tell me saphire, one tells me ruby...

What are the ups and downs of both?

Well, the only differences are:

1) The pokemon you can catch. With Sapphire, you'd catch only Lotad compared to Ruby's Seedot, Lunatone compared to Ruby's Solrock, Seviper compared to Ruby's Zangoose, Kyogre compared to Ruby's Groudon, Sableye compared to Ruby's Mawile, and a few more. For the rest, check out serebii.net

2) The teams you'll face. Ruby gets Team Magma, while Sapphire gets Aqua.

Why do people talk about other websites when the information is right here?

Anyway, apart from the exclusives, there's also the differences between EV training areas.

I would go with Ruby. I liked it more than Saphire.

[PsYchOtiC]

I have seen a lot of people post EV...What is EV?

[Star6]

My personal prefernece is sapphire because you can cacth Kyorge who is a water type my favourite type. But both are good games and relatively the same.Or you can wait till emerald comes out and get the best of both worlds

[Murpheos]

a major choice depends on your starter, and in what version. If Sapphire is your choice, then a lot of enemies you encounter will be from team Aqua, who use water Pokemon, and Treecko will wipe them out. However, pick Ruby and get team Magma as the opposing force, as they mainly use fire types, Mudkip can wash them away. Or pick Torchic, and have a mixture of both.

I think Ruby is the best one. Choose the version you like the most. I like Sapphire but I usually play Ruby. ^^

[Sephiroth-Kun]

i myself suggest ruby but its your choice so do whatever you want ok

[Bleach and Sunshine]

The main way to decide is to choose who would like better to you Grudon or Kyroge.

I Like The Kyogre In Sapphire...
Besides I Like Getting Lotad & Other Water Pokemon You Can Catch!
If You Like Water Pokemon Than Go With Sapphire...

[PsYchOtiC]

Alright, so Ruby has team magma, but I hate mudkip, it has groudon which looks good to me because he has fire blast and solarbeam, but saphire you can get more water pokemon and I am going to choose torchick anyway to get blaziken so I won't really need groudon...

I think I will get Saphire..:)
