About This Game
Pokémon Sapphire introduced 135 new Pokémon and key innovations like double battles, abilities, and natures that deepened competitive gameplay.
The Hoenn region, inspired by Japan's Kyushu island, offers diverse ecosystems including ocean routes and tropical forests that influence Pokémon distribution.
This version exclusively features Team Aqua as the antagonist group seeking to expand the oceans, contrasting with Ruby's Team Magma.
With Ruby/Sapphire selling over 16 million copies, these games revitalized the franchise and led to Pokémon Emerald and 3DS remakes.
