Version Overview
You control a young trainer who sets out to collect eight gym badges, fill the Pokedex, and challenge the Pokemon League. You explore the world screen by screen, tall grass hiding wild Pokemon that trigger turn based battles where you command your team of up to six creatures. Two major additions were the Battle Frontier, a massive post game facility with unique battle formats, and the ability to encounter both of the region's legendary Pokemon, Groudon and Kyogre, within the same story. The pacing is steady, with challenging boss fights and puzzles in the water routes and Victory Road. It feels like a complete and expansive journey where your team's growth is directly tied to your choices in exploration and battle.
