History Heartwarming / PokemonRubyAndSapphire

** After defeating the box legendary and saving the world, Archie and Maxie reflect on the world's restoration. Depending on which of them was the antagonist between the two versions, the other will offer them the chance to reconcile and mutually rethink their plans to better the world, but the other refuses, feeling there can be no forgiveness after single-handedly bringing the world to its knees. Their Admin nearby then tells them that the difficulty in atoning is all the more reason to try, and that the Admin will be there along with them to help them do it.

* If you ever catch a Bagon and have it evolve all the way to Salamence, this trope is in effect when you remember that all Bagon dream of flying.

** And a little before this, there is a montage of the people from all the towns around Hoenn looking up at whether being dispelled and gives off a real hopeful feel. Followed by the player leaving the Cave of Origin to be congratulated by both teams, Steven, Wallace, and May/Brendan.

* Do you know about that girl in Sootopolis who gives you berries daily? Similar to what happened to Mew in Red and Green, Kiri's an NPC added just before the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire in honor of the birth of Junichi Masuda's daughter, who the NPC is named after. And then, just before she gives you a berry, she says this: "My mommy and daddy named me that so I would grow healthy and warmhearted. That's what they wished."

* In the Battle Resort, you're met with a Magma Grunt and Aqua Grunt who ran away from their respective teams to be together. However, they then learn that Team Magma and Aqua have reconciled from their friends, who wish them well before leaving the cottage.

* While most legendary Pokemon have a sense of honor and would rather battle you first to see if you're worthy of being their partner, Latios and Latias wanna join you on your adventure for no other reason other than because they simply like you that much.[[note]]It only goes for the one you encounter with Steven, though (Latios in OR, Latias in AS); the one you encounter with the Eon Ticket event will want to fight you.[[/note]]

** [[http://i.imgur.com/6hujo47.jpg It is]] [[http://i.imgur.com/lFbWvkh.png possible]] for the first time '''in ten years''' for a Pokémon to return to the region it originated from [[OldSaveBonus after being transferred a generation forward]][[note]]excluding ''Gold and Silver'' and their remakes[[/note]]. Even better, should you bring one of your Old Hoenn Alumni to visit the Gamefreak staff, they will give you a special certificate to commemorate your dedication to your old partner.

* The child on Route 104 who says he should have bought a Potion because his Pokemon is running low on health returns. Except if you have a Potion, ''you actually have the option to give him one of yours.'' There's no reward for doing so, but it's sure to [[VideogameCaringPotential make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.]]

* When you run into your partner, occasionally they get tongue tied in shyness while trying to ask if you would like to walk with them to a town. It happens after Meteorite Falls, and again after getting the badge from Flannery. It's possible it happens more, but this troper hasn't gotten to that point yet.

* Elite Four rematches: they all acknowledge that you are a Champion and thus their attitude to the battle is far more relaxed. The fact that this game is the only Pokémon game which the elite four acknowledges you fully can be considered as heartwarming.

** After you beat Norman, Wally's dad and him share a tender 'father' moment in which they agree that seeing their respective children go off on their own adventures makes them both happy and sad. More aww.

* After you win a Contest, go out into the front lobby and you will find a small crowd of adoring fans waiting for you, who talk about how amazing your performance was and give you berries or healing items to help your Pokémon get even stronger or more beautiful. Even if you don't win, at least one or two fans will be there to encourage you and tell you that they loved your performance.

* Archie/Maxie are probably the only team leaders that actually, 100% ''care'' about the members of their team ''as well'' as their cause. They are both very close to their Admins, though Archie's friendship with Matt and Shelley is more apparent. Also, they are the only leaders legitimately concerned about bettering the world for everybody (Cyrus and Ghetsis fooled their teams for their own selfish goals, and Lysandre only cared about the "beautiful" people.)

* [[spoiler: After you become Champion, it's revealed that your rival acquired a mega ring. After the credits roll, and before the Delta Episode, you get to have a battle with them, and they Mega Evolve their starter. The lengths they went to in order to try to become your equal is beautiful.]]
