A news bulletin appears and says that a colored Pokémon is in flight through Hoenn. Once the player defeats the Elite Four, Norman gives the player the S.S. In the beginning there are 3 Pokémon to choose: Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip.

The player must awaken the legendary Pokémon Rayquaza, after which it will swoop down and force the two combatants to stop, returning Hoenn to normal. The two Pokémon do not obey either team and begin fighting, causing the weather to alternate between sunshine and rain. Instead of one team awakening a legendary Pokémon, both teams succeed in each awakening a legendary Pokémon: Groudon and Kyogre. The main antagonists that the player faces are Team Magma and Team Aqua, which differs from Ruby and Sapphire in which one team was the antagonist and the other was the protagonist, trying to stop the other team. The game follows the same storyline as Ruby and Sapphire, through it adds new elements such as the Battle Frontier, where the player can enter a variety of areas with different Pokémon competitions.

The National Pokédex is also available without trading. Like Ruby and Sapphire, the game features the third generation Pokémon, but also adds some second generation Pokémon that were once limited to Pokémon Colosseum. Much like the games it was based on, the player controls a Pokémon trainer, whose general goal is to traverse around the Hoenn region and conquer a series of eight Pokémon gyms to earn eight Gym Badges and then take on the Elite Four, defeat the Pokémon League Champion and succeed him/her. The game is an enhanced remake of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, adding to the third generation of Pokémon games. It features the Dragon/ Flying-type Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza on the cover.
