Author: Pokemon Ruby carries the same charm, the same appeal as all the other Pokemon games. The concept behind these games is simply brilliant, perfect, in that sort of “simple genius” sort of way. It’s not that it’s some far out idea that happens to be brilliant, it’s just that it’s such a smart idea that it’s strange that it wasn’t capitalized on before Pokemon did it. It’s really pretty obvious, when you think about it.
The appeal? These games combine pretty much everything kids love. The most obvious aspect of this, the core of what these games are all about, is the fun of collecting. In real life, collecting can cost a lot of money, and it can turn you into a pack rat. In a video game, there’s room for as many items as you can find, and while you have to work for them in-game, they don’t cost you (okay, your parents) any money.
