Pokémon Box, is an expansion disc for Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire, more than a full-fledged game as everyone expected. Pokemon Box: Ruby is basically an organizer for your Pokemon for the game Ruby/Sapphire. To play with you will need either Pokemon Ruby or Pokemon Sapphire, a Game Boy Advance, a Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable and of course a Gamecube. Now, you will be able to save up to 1500 Pokémon into the special memory card Nitnendo released for Pokémon Box, which comes together with Pokémon Box. If you don’t have enough space to store your Pokemon or want to store your Pokemon in a more fancy way, this game is your solution.
