Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire were my first Pokémon games. Shortly after, I got every other game including the ones that released before Ruby/Sapphire (Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, and Crystal) Haha! Ruby/Sapphire was my first step into playing the games even though I had been watching the animé for a lot longer. The Generation III Hoenn games remain my favourite series so far. I'm still hoping for a remake!
