For Christmas, I received Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. This was possibly a instantaneous new favorite. Every two to three years, Pokemon remakes an old pair or trio of games, which is why Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are not just Ruby and Sapphire (and Emerald). These games revisit the Hoenn region, a fictional land, and the original Hoenn based games of the third generation. To start out, the player gets to pick a starter pokemon, Treeko, Torchic, or Mudkip for these games. The player then proceeds to battle an evil team and take down eight gym leaders. Next, the player must defeat the champion. Personally, I really disliked this battle. It took me three tries to defeat him. Afterwards, there is the Delta Episode, where the player is required to catch the legendary pokemon Rayquaza. A helpful hint for this battle is to not ever use the master ball because whether or not it is used, Rayquaza will be obtained.
