Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Home
Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were originally released between 2002 and 2005 for the Game Boy Advance. The original cartridges are able to trade and battle with each other, and with the Game Boy Advance games FireRed and LeafGreen, using the Game Boy Advance Link Cable or (for Emerald) the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter. They are also able to communicate with the Nintendo GameCube games Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness using a Game Boy Advance to GameCube Link Cable. Using the Game Boy Advance slot of an original model DS, Pokémon can be sent to Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, although they cannot be returned from these games to any Game Boy Advance or GameCube game.
The first 386 Pokémon in the National Pokédex are all programmed into the game. Between Ruby and Sapphire, the player can access 200 Pokémon that are part of the Hoenn Pokédex. In Emerald, a handful of Kanto and Johto Pokémon can be obtained as well. Pokémon that are missing from these games can be traded in from FireRed, LeafGreen, Colosseum, or XD.
