About

The main character is initially Pichu, but evolves into Pikachu and then Raichu, although his sprite on the map screen is still Pikachu. As you progress through the game, you will recruit other Pokémon, a total of 20, four of each type (Help, Balanced, Strength, Super Power and Defense, which roughly corresponds to Electric/Flying, Water/Grass, combat/fire, psychic/Normal, Rock/ground in the original games). You move your Pokémon units around the map then choose whether they attack, use an item or do nothing. There are Pokémon from the first, second and third generation (hence surely the name Sapphire which was taken). As you battle, your Pokémon level up and can learn abilities, which are generally more powerful than normal attacks and may have a different range. The Pokémon here do not evolve with the level but with the help of badges that you can pick up by stopping on chest or house squares during battles in non-arena maps...
