"Overall, Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire seem very similar to Pokémon X & Y, as you might expect, but the story and the environments you encounter feel – despite the fact that they are remakes – very fresh and unique. They're not an extensive upgrade from their other 3DS counterparts, but any Poké-fan who's played one of the series remakes in the past knows that expecting an enormous upgrade is a fool's errand. These titles should be considered as games that belong alongside X & Y, rather than successors. — they've successfully surpassed X & Y, however, by building on the tremendous features available on the 3DS and pushing new ideas such as the Soar ability. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are a must-buy for any Poké-fan, even if you already own X or Y."

About

Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire is a storage tool for managing your Pokémon collection on the GameCube. It lets you organize up to 1500 creatures across 25 boxes, each holding 60 Pokémon. You can transfer them between Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen. The system works entirely through a GameCube memory card, needing all 59 blocks for full use. Most copies include a pre-formatted 59-block memory card to simplify setup. The game’s main draw is its utility for collectors and traders. It streamlines moving Pokémon between titles while keeping your team inventory tidy. Some players appreciate the 1500-Pokémon cap as a flexible archive. Others note the need for a compatible memory card as a minor hurdle. With no combat or quests, it’s purely a management tool that fans of the series have used for two decades to keep their Pokémon ecosystems in order.
