Pokémon (Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald versions), whose versions are commonly referred to individually as Pokémon Ruby, Pokémon Sapphire, and Pokémon Emerald, and collectively as "Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire" or "Pokémon Advance", is the third installment in the Pokémon franchise and the first Pokémon game on the Game Boy Advance.
It features over 100 new species of Pokémon and a new region called Hoenn. Like past Pokémon installments, the player's main objective is to collect eight gym badges and raise their Pokémon's level through battles. The game features new rival teams called Team Aqua and Team Magma that play a big part in the story line.
The new Pokémon in this game are known to be the third generation Pokémon. This game was initially, released in Ruby and Sapphire versions. Later on, an Emerald version was introduced. Somewhat of a mix between Ruby and Sapphire, Emerald featured a slightly altered story; both Groudon and Kyogre appear and are catchable, and engage in a titanic battle in Sootopilis City. The player must travel to Sky Pillar and rouse Rayquaza to stop the fighting. After this, the player may challenge the 8th gym, but the Gym Leader is now Juan, not Wallace, who is now the Champion. The Battle Frontier was also included in this version, replacing Ruby & Sapphire's battle tower.
In the Super Smash Bros. series
The game mascots Kyogre and Groudon appear out of Pokéballs in Brawl, Kyogre using Hydro Pump and Groudon using Overheat. Other third generation Pokémon also appear, many filling the roles of old Pokémon (for example, Torchic fills the role previously held by Cyndaquil). Pokémon such as Gardevoir and Metagross also appear from Pokéballs, while others, like Snorunt, appear as Stage Elements in Pokémon Stadium 2.The third generation is the only generation to not have his own playable character but, according to scrapped data there is a rumor of Plusle and Minun having been originally planned to be fighters.
Also, besides the Pokeball appearances some of these Pokemon have appearances as Trophies:
Alternatively, Rayquaza appears as a boss in The Subspace Emissary, and plays a large role in the story, in which he stops Groudon and Kyogre's fighting to restore order to Hoenn. Latios and Latias, Deoxys and Jirachi also appear as legendary Pokémon in these games.
