Pokemon Sapphire Version Review (2009-06-12)
I actually bought this game for my boyfriend who liked Pokemon way back when Game Boy Advance was big. He thought it was a nice idea and really enjoyed the game. It was a nice blast from the past.

Raves for Sapphire (2009-05-30)
This was for my 9 year old son who loves pokemon. He has played it and has thoroughly enjoyed it. It is one of the older ones but he likes playing the ones his older brother played and beat. It works well to be used. Came quickly and satisfied him. He bought it with money he saved so that made it even better for him.Game Boy Carrying Case

Pokemon Sapphire (2009-04-30)
My nine year old had pretty much completed Pokemon Pearl on his Nintendo DS (with the help of cheats) and wanted more. He tried a friend's Pokemon Platinum and found it was too similar. We bought the old Pokemon Sapphire for Game Boy Advance which is completly compatable with the DS. He really likes it even though the graphics are not quite as advanced. He would definately recommend it for someone like him who needs more Pokemon. (Ugh!)

Pokemon Sapphire (2009-03-20)
I love pokemon. Great game. Alot of fun and very addicting. I just wish they would make a game like this for the bigger systems. One that you can actually go and catch pokemon like on the TV show. Until they get smart enough to do that, I will continue to have fun with what they have out.

Sapphires really are something beautiful arent they? (2009-02-25)
Hello, im twelve years old. Pokemon sapphire was my first game by pokemon, so im here to help you out since my only knoweledge of the game was that i got by looking over my best friends shouldurs. Yet, i became really good at the game. The game starts where your moving too a new town, and you have to go help a proffessor in danger by using one of his three pokemon. There is Treeco, a grass pokemon, who is for expierinced players, torchic, a fire pokemon, for fiery hearted battlers, and mudkip, for begginers. After the battle, proffesor birch realizes that the pokemon likes you and sends you off on a journey to find alot of pokemon.
The plot unfolds itself as you go from town to town. You must beat other pokemon trainers to get expeirnce and your pokemon will evolve. After a while you meet team aqua, the bad guys of this story. They want to flood the world and have more water pokemon. Then theres team magma, good guys who want to help you out. After you have seven gym badges, the heart of the story arrives when you face off with team aquas leader Archie, and follow an enraged kyogre to the heart of a cave called Orgin cave, in soottopolis city. Then you face off with Kyogre, the legendary pokemon on the front of the box, and you must either catch it or defeat it. Soon you will become pokemon leauge champion.
Quests which appear after you are champion include more legendary pokemon, multiplayer fun, and becoming the champion of the battle tower, a new place to battle at. Some other feautures are: the choice of two bikes and a cycling road competition, secret bases in the right areas which you can totaly decorate with furniture, and wireless communication. Hope you like it!

Couldn't be any better! (2009-05-10)
I have used this Gameshark at least 20 times since I bought it. Each time I played for at least 20-30 minutes. No freezes, no hangs, nothing but pure fun and it exceeded my expectations.

I hate to offend some of the review posters but it looks to me like some of these are under 16 years of age, who perhaps need a bit more experience and patience. When you buy an item like this that modifies coding in a game you have to be extremely careful what you type in.

First thing I did was go to the official Gameshark website. It says "if the gameshark gives you a warning that you have too many codes it will freeze, DO NOT PRESS START (as the Gameshark itself recommends) but turn off the game instead"

I know it is tough to deal with mislead instructions. BUT you can't go wrong when you turn the console off. If something doesn't work, or the game looks funny, DO NOT SAVE, do not turn the Gameshark off, turn the whole system off. Note that I emphasize in DO NOT TURN THE GAMESHARK OFF, I mean it, you should have no reason to turn the Gameshark off, instead turn the GBA off. This is my third Gameshark, I owned the Monster Brain and the Game Xploder. I never ruined any of my games.

After 3 years using the Gameshark 3.0 with my Pokemon Crystal game, my son and friends (about 12 years old) somehow managed to crash the game. Needless to say the Poke Crystal was fried.

Bottom line, if you don't know what you're doing, consult someone who knows how to work it. Or perhaps and adult can help you work it properly. Dealing with coding is serious business, and these games are nothing short of a micro computer. You need to do the right things otherwise they will crash.

If you are in doubt, just don't get it then, or work with a spare game.

gameshark helped my game (2009-04-09)
i think the gameshark is cool because i can use all the cheats on my games and i can enter new games in the shark and put other codes in it. i use it alot. i have SP and DS systems and games.

Gameboy Advance SP GameShark (2009-02-17)
The product worked great. This is an older device for use in Gameboy advance. Most kids today use the DS, but my kids also like to play with the Advance. This was hard to find anywhere else but I'm glad Amazon still carries it.

Worked with all my kid's games without any problems. My kids also were able to look up custom codes from the internet and prgram them into this device which was also a very nice feature.

Misleading customer image? (2009-01-29)
The customer image is misleading and therefore the person I allowed to order this did not get what they expected. However the item actually shown by seller is what I am rating.

The instrustion manual clearly states that using too many codes will have adverse effects. There is also a certain way to remove games from this to keep the item from getting scratched and unable to be read by the GBA. When used correctly this is a great item and deserves great reviews.

Do NOT buy this - It breaks after 1 use!!! (2009-01-09)
For some reason, this product will break after 1 use in a game boy advance. I bought this item, played it 1 time, and then it broken after rebooting. What it is is that Nintendo made different chips that after there chips enter the slot, they will break.

If you put it into your GBA after 1 Use, you will be prompted with a White Screen of Death. You will not be able to fix this.

DO NOT BUY!!!!

Great Game (2009-05-27)
My son loves Pokemon and had to have the one with Pikachu in it. I think he's going to end up with all of the versions for his GBA SP.

Could not have been happier with the service (2009-05-13)
This was the best experience of purchasing something online for me. And I have purchased a lot. It came in a timely matter - way before it was promised. It was in great condition. I have heard no complaints from my son who is the one who plays the game so it works well. I had no trouble getting in touch with the seller which I loved because I have had problems with that in the past with other purchasers. And knowing my purchase helped someone adopt a child make it that much better! If I was ever looking for something else this would be the first website I would go to! Kudos to you! Janice Peden

Shocking Results (2009-03-16)
Special Pikachu addition of pokemon that came out way before gameboy color hit the shelves. Plays just as the original gameboy games, however unlike other reviews there is is something missing.

Remember that special "pikachu surfing" event? Well you can't get that ingame. That's right, meaning you would have to call nintendo and take it up to them for them to "install" the hardware into the game! What a money-milker. Very disappointing as a child, as I have wanted to play that game specifically for that purpose and the ability to catch "mew". This is as close to the series for the original 3, so if your into collecting these, get the yellow version. Interacting with pikachu is cute, but be warned how his mood changes can affect battles if you use him...

And it seems that they have taken out the "Indingo" pokemon, or "virus" it seems. It was said catching this pokemon (which was literally nothing more than a scrambled block with two eyes on it that make a polygon noise) would "erase" the save data on the game! I don't recall running into this pokemon, that can be found in the sea near the island. This game is old, so don't pay more than a reasonable used price.

Kids love it! (2009-01-28)
I bought this for one of my kids, because they had it in the past and it got lost. We got it again, and they love it!

Pokemon Pikachu Edition (2008-12-02)
My son is having so much fun with this game. He loves that his Pikachu follows him everywhere and that he can check his Pikachu's mood (ie: sad, happy). A great game.

Pokemon Leaf Green (2009-06-23)
These games are great for the gameboy advance, being that they last for ages before the kids can get bored with them as there are so many levels and different pokemon to battle and collect. The downside, and it's a big one, is that there's so much content, the gameboy advance cannot deal with it. If it's not the content, then it's the game itself as it crashes on a regular basis which has caused many tears to be shed as pokemon and level achievements have been totally wiped. This seems to be the problem with a few of the pokemon GBA games. This game however has been played on the nintendo DS lite with no problems.

Pure Nostalgia (2009-05-08)
Boy does this game bring back childhood memories. My first ever game was Pokemon Yellow. The sprites in Leaf Green are almost the same as Yellow, and the battles seem quicker than in the new Platinum. Other than that the game mechanics are the same. Some say it's outdated, I say why fix it if it ain't broke. If future Pokemon remakes are this good, I'm gonna pick up the Pokemon Gold remake when it comes out next year on day one! A++

Fun (2009-03-12)
It's as fun as I thought it would be. I like how the Pokemon look. Some parts challenging, but overall very fun.

Another Great Pokemon Game (2009-01-05)
I owned the original Pokemon Blue many years ago and loved it, so I was surprised to find they had remade it for the GBA. It's essentially the same game, so if you loved the original Pokemon games, you'll love this one. The differences are in the features they added, which include islands from other games, the National Dex, Deoxys, and the like.
