Like all paired games beforehand, Ruby and Sapphire were followed by a third version, {{game|Emerald}, two years later, and together they became the best-selling [[Game Boy Advance]] games of all time. [[Remake]]s of the games, in the form of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, were released [[Generation VI|three generations later]] in November 2014 worldwide.

As with all Pokémon games, Ruby and Sapphire have a fair number of glitches. One of these is the infamous [[Berry glitch]], which made most time based events, such as Berry growing, impossible after the game had been owned for a year, or played for over 100 hours. This glitch is able to be corrected, however, by downloading the Berry patch from either the {{g|Colosseum}} [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc|bonus disc]], or {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}. These games also host several [[glitch Pokémon]], such as [[Ten question marks|??????????]] or [[Bad Egg]].
