Having sold a combined 4 million copies of the games in Japanese, Nintendo has finally made English versions of "Pokemon Ruby" and "Pokemon Sapphire," the latest entries in the ongoing Pokemon craze.
Pokemon, of course, are not so new. Along with several movies, a hit cartoon show and all kinds of licensed products, Nintendo's Pokemon have appeared in green, blue, yellow, gold, silver and crystal Game Boy games. They've also made appearances on the Nintendo 64 game console.
"Pokemon Ruby" and "Pokemon Sapphire" are the first games in the series for Game Boy Advance. Nevertheless, the games are not only indistinguishable from each other but are nearly identical to every other Pokemon game ever released.
