Line 13:
These games may be the biggest case of [[One Game for the Price of Two]] in the franchise, as there is literally no way to legitimately collect all 386 Pokémon without aid from ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|FireRed]]'', ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|LeafGreen]]'', ''[[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]]'', and ''[[Pokémon Colosseum|XD]]'' (Oddly, only ''Ruby'' '''''or''''' ''Sapphire''). <ref> The [[Game Boy Advance]] had backwards-compatability for the [[Game Boy Color|GameBoy Color]], but its link cables were unable to connect the two systems; coupled with the aforementioned data structure redesign, there was no method for importing or trading Pokémon from ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold]]'', ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Silver]]'' or ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Crystal]]'' to ''Ruby'', ''Sapphire'' or ''Emerald''. The ''Red'' and ''Blue'' [[Video Game Remake|remakes]] provided all 150 Kanto Pokémon and a small pool of Johto's, with ''Colosseum'' and ''XD'' having several from all three regions; together, they had all but the event-only Pokémon. Between ''Emerald'' and ''Ruby/Sapphire'', only Zangoose and Lunatone respectively are missing and both are found in ''XD''</ref>. Due to being released after the "Pokémania" phase of Generations I and II, and before the "It prints money" phase of the [[Nintendo DS]], ''Ruby and Sapphire'' were the least successful (though were still ''greatly'' profitable) "main pair" of games.
On May 7, 2014, remakes for these games on the 3DS were announced by Nintendo, labeled ''Omega Ruby'' and ''Alpha Sapphire'' respectively.
