Is Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire underrated?



Honestly, probably not, but looking back Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire where kind of awesome. They did add the weather element into the mix, and added deep sea diving which I honestly thought the was cool. Not to mention the ever illusive Mirage Island. But then again, there was the shitty Pokemon Contest things, which were shitty replacements for gold and silvers fishing and bug catching contests. Double battles were nice, added a interesting new dynamic tot he game. And if I recalled it also introduced Pokemon effects, like certain Pokemons ability to levitate, which protected them from ground-based attacks like Earthquake.



To answer the question, no its not underrated.

It deserves to be at the bottom of the bucket, not cause it was a completely awful game, but because it followed Gold & Silver and honestly just left so many of the amazing things those games had to over behind. Daytime and Night time were left behind, the better contests and the fast environments of Johto and Kento. Hoenn may be the worst region of all, it feels so tiny in comparison to Gold and Silver, Diamond and Pearl

Now lets all take a bow to the infinitely flawless, Pokemon Gold and Silver. The best Pokemon game that was ever created.
