I remember finding a Tropius in the wild and as a kid thinking it was a legendary because it was so different from everything else on the route, such good times.
@@gregkareem9824 no, no it's not lmao. Please tell me why the word I said is bad, I'll wait. Please justify any single reason why "swear words" are a thing.
Sapphire is also my favourite game of all time and I had a very similar experience too you growing up (mostly solo'd my entire first playthrough with my starter and a few misfit members with Kyogre). Im a bit older then you and my first system was a game boy color with crystal. Could never beat it because I couldnt read and would get frustrated and stuck. By the time I did learn to read I had kinda moved on from pokemom and was playing games on my shiny new gba like mario advance 2! I didnt wanna go back to the gameboy color since i thought the games were ugly (something I thankfully grew out of). I fell back in love with pokemon in september of 2003 when I attended a wedding in the family. My cousin was there and had a gba advance of his own. I walked over to see what he was playing and to my surprise he was playing pokemon... pokemon sapphire. I was blown away by how beautiful the game looked. All these amazing colors and music and a bunch of cool pokemon I had never seen! I stopped watching the anime half way through johto so I had no idea there were new pokemon. He was stuck at the third gym (couldnt find rocksmash) and he had no idea how to catch pokemon, his only pokemon was a level 47 blaziken 😂. I taught him how to catch pokemon and he let me play his gba for a while while I let him play some games on mine. When the wedding was winding down I knew I had to ask my mom and dad for this new game, I NEEDED it since it was so beautiful and all the new pokemon I saw looked so cool. My cousin stopped me before I left though and said that he wanted to trade me sapphire since I seemed to like it so much. He was a big fan of mario so I traded him one of my two copies of mario advance 2 (yes I had two copies... I really loved super mario advance 2 😂) and the rest was history 😂 restarted the game and planned to pick blaziken but when I saw the startes I picked Treecko instead since I thought he looked cool and would probably become something great (Boy was I right 😂). I didnt really have to many issues soloing the game with him, the 3rd gym was the bain of my existence, but when I finally beat that STUPID magneton I had a level 32 grovyle and was unstoppable 😂 its really cool to find someone as passionate about this game as me, when people talk about gen three they always bring up emerald but sapphire will always have a special place in my heart! It was the game I needed when I needed it (I had just moved to a new school that year) and was the game that reignited my passion for the franchise. Itll always be my favourite game! You sir have yourself a new subscriber!
Great story. I never permanently traded my games ever, but it's always made me curious if receiving a game from a trade that becomes a favorite adds some indescribable feeling about taking a "gem" from the person you traded with.
@@HiJello64 I just feel bad that he didnt know what he had when he had it! Years later he said he regretted that trade 2 weeks after he made it but never had the heart to ask for it back since I loved the game so much!
You know, the more time I spend in online spaces, hearing the stories about people's first Pokemon journey, the more I realize how much being a kid who loved to read benefitted my Pokemon addiction. Because I actively read and understood all the text in the games, I never had problems figuring out where to go or what to do next, and I find it funny that I seem to be the odd one out in that regard. I always had very different issues, mainly that I always loved my starter more than my other Pokemon, so I ended up basically soloing the game with it, for good or ill. I may have been able to read, but I couldn't strategize for crap, so battles were hard. Hell, I still have trouble maintaining a team of six in any game released before X and Y, just because grinding is boring. Pokemon Sapphire is my favorite Pokemon game, for much the same reason as it is yours. There's just something about the atmosphere of this game, the feelings each part of it gives me. People say the story is dumb and makes no sense, but I think they overlook how well really complex issues, namely Human advancement vs. Habitat and Nature Conservation, were simplified in a way that even a child, at least, one willing to stop and think about it, could understand it. Hoenn's nature heavy region and story appeals to me on a level that none of the other games have been able to replicate. It's features are the ones I find the most joy in. It's so easy to immerse myself in this game, I feel like I could spend years trying to describe what makes it so perfect.
When you said “passed this grass” I chuckled. Great retrospective. I love for these long form narratives. Pokémon sapphire is one of my favorite all time games.
one criticism. The Devon researcher is a researcher from the Devon corporation. His name isn't "Devon Researcher" as in Mr. Researcher. it's his job title. sort of like "Team Aqua Grunt"' isn't named Team Aqua Grunt. it's describing what he is.
The first time I played the game was before I could read English, so I mashed the buttons and used word associations (I could read another language and recognised some words). To this day, I mispronounce Gen 3 pokemon names because it's in that sweetspot of my illiteracy and being ahead of the anime.
Amazing video, surprised it hasn't more views. Sapphire was my first pokemon game and I feel a certain type of way with it, I think in the same vein as you, its the one I keep coming back to even all these years later. To me, I got stuck quite some times, when you had to take the boat to dewford (could not for my life decipher that one), finding rock smash, lilycove wailmer block (had no idea I had to backtrack and even go to slateport) and finding the aqua hideout. I remember I once had a save file that had a Blaziken on level 93 and Aggron on 67, while on Lilycove lol. Still remember the team I first beat the game with: Blaziken, Pelipper, Linoone, Tropius, Aggron and Kyogre
Alright watched the whole thing, took notes, here's my whole comment: So I absolutely thought his hair was white- that's a hat??? Are you telling me all these years I thought that was his hair????? The graphical trick of doing a reflection in the water has always been impressive to me and is one of my favorite little bit of polish in top down 2d games. I love the little extra stuff this game added to do, like fishing and berries and all that. I think a Pokemon game in the future with some more life-sim stuff would really beef up that immersion factor for me. Gulpin either has no arms and three months or no mouths and three arms. That midgame battle with May reminds of every time as a kid you'd get to that part in a video game that just absolutely kicks your ass for like, several days, and you just dream about the moment you get past it. There are probably still some games in my collection I have never beaten and forgotten why. "I'm strong, I won't cry if I lose" Oh shit the hideouts, I forgot about those, I haven't played much of Gen 3 (had Emerald later in life) but that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about with that life-sim in a pokemon. I'd love to see a pokemon game really embrace that side content. Like you, that kind of special hiding place idea that only I know of and I get to decorate- *chef kiss* choice. And then when we finally get to treehouses, that's the thing I want the most- a game where you get to build your own treehouse. I was wondering if the e-reader would be making an appearance in this video. I never had one back in the day and only got it later in life to use with animal crossing. It's one of those nintendo-tries-to-innovate ideas that I loved but feel like it was wholly underutilized. "Being prepared wasn't my style as a kid" that's my mantra in every game I play to this day and I'm almost 30. You should do a video on all the random Pokemon toys you've shown off in the video so far, I'd watch that. Oh man, my favorite game that helped me grow would have to be Pac-Man 2 for the Sega Genesis. Something about that game really captivated my imagination, helped me think about world building and immersion, what I wanted out of video games and the escapism they could provide. All in all very insightful review, I don't really play pokemon any more but I love listening to people talk about their experiences with it and the strategies they like to use most. Also longform content like this is always fun. Good video!
Thanks. Pac-Man 2 was like a point and click, right? I've never played it but from what I've heard, people don't typically view it favorably. I'll admit, though, that type of game is really immersive when you're young.
@@HiJello64 yeah it's like a point and click lite where you're not so much solving object or environment puzzles but rather directing pacman himself as he's coded to act on his own according to the mood he's in. It's not usually talked of favorably probably because it had no business being an official namco pacman sequel. I've been meaning to do a video on pacman 2 for years, maybe I finally will lol
Makes sense. Games like Metroid Prime: Federation Force or Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts are treated as betrayals to their series for doing the same thing.
Saying before watching. Already the pacing of the video feels great and your voice is very calm. This game is very nostalgic for me and I love watching people break video games down. Everything from the music to the little bits of story and background info about this is amazing and I absolutely love it
After watching I wanted to make a few comments. Had to get a few full watches in first as I love long form reviews as they allow a lot more time to be put into personal memories with the game which is where I feel most for this game. First off 3rd gen Pokémon is the most home feeling to me. I spent years in this game it felt. Practically living inside it. I would take it to school every day to talk about it with others and would restart almost every day and speed run the game during school worked it all the way down to a six hour run. I look at most 3rd gen Pokémon as my favorites of all time the feel of the Pokémon and their importance and roles in the region always made the region feel alive and that always kept me interested in how this world would progress. Combine that with the background for the game and it makes for a very compelling form of story telling. All of this game was compelling to me. Every new town I visited woke something inside me. All the music fits the entire game overly well and sets the mood for each route and town in ways other games didn’t quite meet. I was captured by the contest side mode spending hours trying to figure it out. I always used absol for them for some reason I thought it would automatically win a cool contest with my logic of it’s the coolest Pokémon in the game and was always thrown off when it didn’t get the introduction hearts right off. I can’t even begin to tell how many hours I spent hunting for other Pokémon like feebas, chingling, sableye, and bagon and was always infatuated with them because of how hard they were to get and the same goes for my first Salamance working that bagon up all those levels is still one of the hardest things I had ever done. Of course flygon too I’m that aspect. I always had issues balancing my team in this game usually either having too many dark types as shiftry, sharpedo, absol, and cacturne have always been favorites of mine and always cluttered my team up but the challenge it gave me made the game what it is to me. And it will always be my favorite and all the fixes and revisions it’s remakes brought it expand on the region in ways that cannot be described and will forever make hoenn my second home. All the time spent making bases and I had a weird trend of only saving inside my base and essentially lived within it. All of this and more will forever place hoenn above everything else. I’ll probably add more specific replies to parts of the video but this is my feeling about the game itself. True nostalgia.
Hey, finally got around to watching this! It was a long haul, but I like how you went over each individual Pokemon as they appeared. Glad I'm not the only person who caught Absol coming before the storm, he's one of my all time faves!
I've always wondered where the popularity in Absol comes from. Is it the scythe/dark type/pokedex bio combination or is there something else people find appealing about it?
@@HiJello64 Personally, I think it's just a sleek design. My love for him came from Mystery Dungeon, but I think most people love him because he has a good color scheme, he's a rare Pokemon that doesn't have a more "experimental design" and he's a fun Pokemon to use.
I like your more personal aproach making this retrospective, I enjoy your experience as child and adult playing this game. Hope you make more content anaylisis like this on the other Pokemon games, if you have more interesting experiences to share.
When you're showing the base stats you're showing the stats post-buffs from X and Y and Sun and Moon. So mons like Pelipper and Masquerain had lower stats in Ruby and Sapphire than what you showed.
I also started with Sapphire, just on ultra hard mode... I had it in a language I didn't know (didn't have other option) and I trialed and errored my way stubbornly until I beat the champion, still didn't take me a year 😂
You ever play through Platinum? I consider that to be the best Pokémon game, maybe HGSS, but either way, Gen 4, I like Gen 4 since it’s similar to Gen 3 in appearance, looks very similar, while improving spirits. It also adds in the physical/special split which greatly helps out combat.
It’s in my backlog but I have played D/P and their remakes. They’re all around good and the physical special split was one of the series’ best decisions.
@@HiJello64 you deserve more subs then me, good video essays, RUclips just dosen’t reward gaming content anymore, back in 2013, if you released a video like this, you would have been hitting hundreds of thousands. In other words, great content. Love it.

"It took me 5 years to beat Pokemon sapphire" You couldn't beat that info out of me 😂
Gen 3 was a gem dude. I started in the OG games as a kid and this one still became the favorite
So glad to finally read another fan in the same boat as me. Started with gen 1 but gen 3 is my favorite with gen 4 as a close second
@@Mr-Eleven OG here as well, but gen 3 is my favourite!
I remember finding a Tropius in the wild and as a kid thinking it was a legendary because it was so different from everything else on the route, such good times.
I decided to replay sapphire after my little bro cleared my 320 hour play through, ended up getting my first shiny ever. Now I got a shiny Flygon.
I fuckin love pokemon. 30 yr old here, this shit has been a staple of my life
I'm 31 and looking to buy crystal or heart gold or soul silver - 2nd gen was amazing.. I miss it a TON. Brilliant diamond just sucks haha
@@teagangrable7131 agreed. Second gen is my favorite too. The feeling and aura the game has is special
Stop cursing its a sin dude
@@gregkareem9824 no, no it's not lmao. Please tell me why the word I said is bad, I'll wait. Please justify any single reason why "swear words" are a thing.

@@HiJello64 oh LOL thanks for clearing that up, this is my first time watchin your vids
I got my first Hoenn experience by trading a few yugioh cards for a classmate's copy of Ruby, still own that cartridge 😊
You truly were able to summarize why these are some of the best Pokémon games and I couldn’t agree more
I remember not fully understanding the concept of HMs and training my Blastoise to lv. 65 thinking he’d eventually learn Surf…..😒

Wow gotta love pokémon zafiro!🌌💙💙
Great Video. I completely forgot about time watching it.
Love this! These are great, would love to see more. I’m subbed 😁
When asking about gen 3, most people thinking about Ruby and Emerald but Sapphire deserved more attention.
good video
It’s crazy that I got Pokemon Sapphire and a GBA for my 7th birthday.
Love this video :-) its my original Pokémon game
Yellow and ruby were my very first pokemon games
I...also mistook the protag's hat for hair. I wasn't the brightest crayon in the box as a kid lmao.
The Werster voice clip lmfao xD
When you're showing the base stats you're showing the stats post-buffs from X and Y and Sun and Moon. So mons like Pelipper and Masquerain had lower stats in Ruby and Sapphire than what you showed.
I also started with Sapphire, just on ultra hard mode... I had it in a language I didn't know (didn't have other option) and I trialed and errored my way stubbornly until I beat the champion, still didn't take me a year 😂

My first game was ruby and my favorite game ever is emerald. Hoenn is the best gen
YESSSSIRRR
When I was a kid I caught a Febas but failed to evolve it because I have it wrong Pokeblocks
lucky you didn't get a crit for that mega drain on wingull
53:33 I thought that it meant Darude sandstorm inbound 😔
I feel the same way about ruby even tho emerald is the superior version.
Theres just too much water!
