SUPER RARE! 
I couldn’t find one online that had the OG packaging.
Super sad to have just sold this but it was just collecting dust on my shelf.

Nintendo Game Boy Advance Pokemon Sapphire Limited Edition Kyogre Super Pak.
A special edition video game released by Nintendo in 2003 (UK), with only around 2,000 units produced.

It included:
• An exclusive Game Boy Advance SP (Sapphire Edition)
• A matching Sapphire carrying case
• Pokémon Sapphire Version (red stripe)
• Trainer booklet
• Manual
• Original charger

23 years of Sapphire! Sad to see this go!

I know it’s just an Oddish, but I’ve never really shiny hunted, apart from SRing maybe 30 or so times for starters and such. So it was a great surprise nonetheless. The colors look so washed out on my front-lit GBA SP that I thought it was a glitch, and did the sparkle sound and swirling star animation on a normal Oddish!

Posting this again because the mods of the Pokémon community removed my photos as we were talking about selling / prices etc.

Super rare bit of kit here. A special edition game released by Nintendo in 2003 (UK), with only around 2,000 units produced.

I got this for my 7th birthday (I turn 30 next week). 23 years of Sapphire! I’ve got this up for auction on my eBay if you’re interested. Ps. I hope this post makes you feel nostalgic af 🩵

Saw another poster post something like this in r/pokemonemerald so I wanted to do one for Sapphire.

Completed the game with just a Mightyena and Swellow.

This took me so many attempts, but my winning run actually turned out deathless! I want to do an even harder challenge next!

Hi everyone,
I think I might have gotten really lucky today, but I wanted to get some opinions.
I bought a copy of Pokémon Sapphire today from Marktplaats (a Dutch marketplace). When I first tested the game, it looked completely wiped — no save file at all.
When I got home, I replaced the dry battery. After that, when I started the game again, the original save file suddenly appeared.
I checked the Pokémon on the file, but nothing really stood out — no shinies, no hacked-looking stats, nothing I wanted to transfer to my “forever” Emerald save.
Then I decided to check the items, maybe hoping for something like a Master Ball… and that’s when I saw it had an Eon Ticket.
That immediately made me wonder if the save file is legit.
So I checked more:
The Pokédex isn’t complete

The player has Latios, but not Latias

No weird amounts of money or items

No signs of obvious hacking

Everything looks completely normal.
I was even able to transfer the Eon Ticket to my Emerald game through record mixing.
So now I’m wondering — did I just get super lucky and find a legit event save file, or could this still be hacked in a way that’s hard to notice?
Does anyone know good ways to verify if an Eon Ticket like this is legitimate?
Thanks in advance!

Has to be my second quickest hunt.

Is this german copy real or a Fake?

Bought this copy of sapphire on December. Previous owner invested quite a bit of time on shiny hunting but didn't beat the elite 4. Previous owner caught 7 Shiny Pokemon in 233hrs of gameplay.
