In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by a salesman in [[Oldale Town]], who directs the player to the local Poké Mart before giving the player a [[Potion]] as a gift. Like in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is no supply of [[Poké Ball]]s, and they will not be in stock until after the player challenges their [[rival]] on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} and visits [[Professor Birch]] for the second time. | In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by a salesman in [[Oldale Town]], who directs the player to the local Poké Mart before giving the player a [[Potion]] as a gift.

The clerk behind the counter will then inform them that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated, and it will be available on the main menu from that point on. | A new feature is introduced to Poké Marts in Generation III, the ability to answer surveys inside the Poké Mart.
