The third set of games in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series, ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' were released for the [[Game Boy Advance]], with ''[[Updated Rerelease|Emerald]]'' arriving a few years after. Along with ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|FireRed]]'', ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|LeafGreen]]'', ''[[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Colosseum|XD]]'', they are known collectively as the 3rd Generation. It introduced many changes to the gameplay, such as: natures, abilities, double battles, contests, and over 100 new Pokémon to collect. Along with massive graphical improvements over its predecessors, it also brought a complete overhaul of the data structure, resulting in the games being incompatible with the previous two generations. The games took place in Hoenn, which is based on the Kyushu region of Japan rotated ninety degrees<ref>Of course, since the world is round and we never see Hoenn on a map along with any other regions, this rotation doesn't matter much</ref>.

Line 71 ⟶ 69:
