Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions

 is an RPG game developed by Game Freak and released by Nintendo in Japan on November 21, 2002, in North America on March 19, 2003, in Australia on April 3, 2003 and in Europe on July 25, 2003 for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

Like all the main Pokémon games, many Pokémon distributions were held for this release and its siblings games.

The games are also compatible with the e-Reader peripheral, that allowed to challenge special trainers in Mossdeep City, obtain unique berries and Secret base decorations. Trainer cards from the Pokémon Battle e: Series 1 and 2 sets booster packs (plus some promo cards) are the only ones that are compatible with this function.

The non-Japanese releases of the games were only compatible with the Pokémon Battle e: Series 1 set. Special berries become Enima Berries when traded to other games. The secret base decorations can be obtained in non-Japanese games with an in-game workaround (see below).

One of the many way the Eon Ticket was distributed, was through an e-Reader card (00-C000) in US. Like with the other distributions methods, the ticket can be shared with other players by mixing records, but tickets obtained in this way can not be shared further.
