Pokémon (Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald versions), also commonly known as 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 installment, the player's main objective is to collect eight gym badges and raise their Pokémon's level through battles. The game features a new rival team called Team Aqua and Team Magma that play a big part in the story line. The pokemon in this game are known as 3rd generation Pokemon. This is the region after Kanto and Jhoto. These games were soon suceeded by Pokemon Emerald, a sort of mix of the two, featuring a slightly altered story [most notably the grand master of the elite four in Sapphire and Ruby, being replaced by another man] and also being able to catch Groudon and Kyogre.
