'''Generation III''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|世代|いちせだい}}III}}''' ''Generation III''), also sometimes known as the '''advance''' or '''advanced generation''', is the third generation of Pokémon games. It is described by some to be a "{{wp|reboot (fiction)|resetting}}" of the series. It was not given an official name until after the release of the cast commentary for the ''[[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Detective Pikachu]]'' film where the Roman-numeral form was officially given by the subtitles. | |||
Centering around {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} on the [[Game Boy Advance]], released in 2002 and 2004 respectively (2003 and 2005 outside of Japan), Generation III broke from the continuous storyline that had been established between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], opting instead to move players to the [[Hoenn]] region, an island [[region]] disconnected from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. The games themselves are incompatible with the previous two generations as well, initially causing many complaints due to the unavailability of many popular Generation I and II Pokémon in Ruby and Sapphire. This problem was remedied, however, between the release of Hoenn's paired versions and third version, with remakes of Generation I's {{game|Red and Green|s}} appearing as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} on the Game Boy Advance, as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. | Centering around {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} on the [[Game Boy Advance]], released in 2002 and 2004 respectively (2003 and 2005 outside of Japan), Generation III broke from the continuous storyline that had been established between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], opting instead to move players to the [[Hoenn]] region, an island [[region]] disconnected from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].
