Pokémon Ruby Edition and Sapphire Edition are two main series Pokémon games and belong to the third generation of games. They are the successors of Pokémon Gold and Silver, designed for the Game Boy Advance and brought so many innovations compared to their previous editions that Nintendo decided to no longer set up compatibility with the games of the first and second generation. The additional edition associated with the two games is the Pokémon Emerald Edition.
On May 7th, 2014, remakes of these games for the Nintendo 3DS were announced under the names Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and they were released on November 28th, 2014 in Europe.
