3rd Gen Emerald's Secrets

[Hatsune Mika]

I know there are a few things about Emerald that are different.
The Pokémon had a better "movement intro" start of battle.
Also there seems to be a glitch in Emerald to duplicate Pokémon and Items sometimes at the same time legitimately without a cheating device.
But there must be other secrets right? Secrets could be something we know but don't realize.

im not sure u can consider this a secret to emerald but if u trade rayquaza to ruby/sapphire u can acces the sky pillar (or i think thats how it works)

 

[Hatsune Mika]

I don't remember going there in ruby. So new to me :D

I have done the Cloning Glitch in Pokemon Emerald using the Battle Tower. Also, Rayquaza IS available before you defeat the Elite Four (In the Sky Pillar, which is located right outside Pacifidlog City). There is also the Pomeg Glitch (which I have not tried, very difficult) which allows you to fight with Eggs and other wierd stuff.

Are you sure about this? I managed to access Sky Pillar in Ruby, but didn't have to trade Rayquaza from my Emerald version or anything like that. xD"

 

[Atwilko]

hmm well i never really checked that before i even traded it so it could indeed be that its not necesary
Edit: silly me

 

[GoGoJJTech]

Yeah, Sky Pillar was made before FR/LG/Em were thought of lol
It was available way before this. Also, many seem to believe you can grab a different form of deoxys in Emerald. Untrue. It's only Speed form, unless generated in a wild battle (cheats or not)

The Battle tower clone glitch is what I do but you speak of a pomeg glitch? How does one do that o.O

And just a quick q, does masuda method work in emerald?

How would you be able to get a different country Pokemon in a game that uses a link cable?

 

[Hatsune Mika]

I have a Japanese rom >\\\\<

Not many people know this, but there's a cave near Slateport city that I believe appears after beating the Elite Four, and also and less hidden the Safari Zone gets cool stuff after beating the Elite Four. By cool stuff I mean new mons, such as Wooper, Aipom, Sunflora, Miltank, Shuckle, Stanler, and more.

That impossible-to-beat Battle Frontier. I've only gotten 2 symbols: Battle Pike and Battle Palace. I don't see anyone conquering the Battle Factory or the Battle Hax Tower.

What about that secret door in Sootopolis City? I know it's not real. I opened it up in Advance Map. But why do you think Nintendo decided to put that in the game?

 

[ArcHeLL]

To make people think of stupid stories to tell to their friends.

In Ruby/Sapphire you can access Sky Pillar as soon as you beat the elite four and there is nothing else to it.

How would you be able to get a different country Pokemon in a game that uses a link cable?

The same way you would be able to get a different country Pokémon in a game that uses Wireless communication.

But, you would have to trade it from like around the world. It'd be so much harder.

 

[Sydian]

Not a secret per se, but something I'm not sure many people realized. If you press start in a double battle, your Pokemons' HP will display in numbers.

Yep! On the TopLeft shore of Route 103, that's the game's Altering Cave, which only hosts an infinite flock of Zubat. - shudders - There's nothing inside the cave no matter how hard you look for it, and its actually pretty dull compared to the Trick Master's House next door. However, when a Mystery Gift is used at a Wonder Spot hosted by Nintendo, the Pokemon change based on the event, ranging from Mareep, to Houndour, to Stantler!
Unfortunately, the cave was never utilized by any country or event, for reasons unknown... Strangely enough, all the Event Pokemon that would normally occur based on the Wonder Spot and item used can be caught in the expanded Safari Zone and Artisan Cave in the Battle Frontier.

Altering Cave translates to 'Changing Cave' in Japanese, but it is one of the game's aspects that is the most mysterious, yet ironically never actually has changed.
