Hi sikyu^^ I dont remmeber if I ever played the saphire/ruby games so wich one would you reccomend to try first!(or if the alpha/omega versiona are better ) :> I've been playing alot of pokemon games lately again and your enthusiasm has peaked my interest ehehe

For sure! I didn’t grow up playing Gen 3 ((I was a Gen 4 kid)), but from my experience this is what I prefer:

Play Emerald first! If you’re into the lore, Emerald is the place to start. You fight both Team Magma and Team Aqua, and you get that awesome cutscene when all hell breaks loose in Hoenn. You also have the Game Corner still alive and kicking, not only that, but Brendan and May’s Emerald designs are THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I know you asked for Ruby or Sapphire, but BELIEVE ME playthrough Emerald first, to me it’s the definitive Gen 3 movie.

If you’re just looking for a Ruby/Sapphire experience, play ORAS instead. You’ll get only part of the story depending on which version you get and the post game is a little lacking, which is a downgrade from Emerald. However, they really outdid themselves with the remakes: homages to the originals, updated character designs, Team Magma and Team Aqua having actual personalities instead of sharing each other’s dialogue like the originals (mainly Maxie and Archie), and you also get more of the modern pokemon gimmicks like the exp share buff/pokeamie/mega evolutions/etc. I would only recommend playing the original Ruby/Sapphire for nostalgic purposes.

Now which version is better?? Honestly, that’s up to your heart. When the remakes first came out, I bought Omega Ruby because I liked Team Magma/Groudon more than Team Aqua/Kyogre. It all depends on preference :>
