Pokémon Ruby(JP) and Pokémon Sapphire(JP) are part of the third generation of Pokémon games (also known as "the gem generation" from its naming - Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald). It was also the first set of Pokémon games to be released on the Game Boy Advance, and it led to large graphical upgrades from the previous games. 135 brand new Pokémon species can be found in Ruby and Sapphire.

Ruby and Sapphire are the first set of mainline games to use a publishing and distribution setup which had The Pokémon Company as the publisher in Japan, Nintendo as the distributor in Japan, and Nintendo as the publisher/distributor in other countries.
