Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire is a Pokémon game for the Nintendo Gamecube. It is not a game so much as a supplement to the Game Boy Advance Pokémon games. Pokémon Box can connect to any of the third generation games (including FireRed and LeafGreen) with the Gamecube-GBA Link Cable. The game was packed with one such link cable as well as a memory card to record the Pokémon on. Its main feature is that it has enough storage boxes to contain up to 1500 Pokémon. There is also a mode for playing Ruby and Sapphire through the Gamecube as well as a mode where players can view figurines of stored Pokémon.

Several Pokémon are also available through this game and are given in the form of eggs. One is received at the beginning of the game (containing a Swablu), and there are several others given once the player has stored a landmark amount of Pokémon. The final gift egg contains a Pichu that knows Surf, which is only unlocked when there are 1499 Pokémon stored. The game is hosted by a new character named Brigette

This game also received only a limited release in most regions. In America, was exclusively available at the New York Pokémon Center as well as its online store, while in Europe it could only be bought using loyalty points or as part of a Pokémon Colosseum Mega Pak. It was known as Pokémon Memory Magic in some parts of Europe due to translation problems.
