On March 15, 2003, the {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} New York held a party at which players could purchase Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. The games were not sold in stores across North America until March 19, 2003.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202304/http://pokemon.com/letters/2003314.asp Pokémon.com - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR! - 3/14/2003] (archive)</ref>

The soundtrack contains all of the background music from the games, composed by [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Gō Ichinose]], and [[Morikazu Aoki]]. However, the soundtrack does not include [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta#Music|the remastered music]] from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} or the other unused music, all of which are present in the games' internal data.

==Trivia==

* These games were released in Japan on the third anniversary of the Japanese release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

* A special promotional coin featuring {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} were available with American preorders of Ruby and Sapphire, respectively.

* Due to the font used in the international versions, the marker for when a move is selected for usage in the battle screen differs from that of the Japanese version. Whereas the Japanese version uses an arrow to indicate the current selected move, like all later releases of the [[Generation III]] games would use, the international versions of Ruby and Sapphire utilize a red rectangle with the same purpose.

* The intros of Ruby and Sapphire differ slightly: Ruby features {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, depending on the gender chosen, riding a bike near forest and mountains, when {{p|Latios}} appears (and afterwards shows him or her battling against a {{p|Sharpedo}} and a {{p|Duskull}}), while Sapphire has instead Brendan or May (again, dependent on the gender chosen) riding a bike near ocean, with {{p|Latias}} appearing (and then, similarly to Ruby, he or she is engaged in a battle).
