    I think this game was a mistake on Nintendo's part. The only real changes in Pokemon Emerald is the Pokemon animations, the Battle Frontier, and both Team Aqua and Magma committing crimes in the game. I never really enjoyed the Battle Frontier either.
    If there are any other differences between Pokemon R/S and Emerald that I missed, they are probably so small and pointless that I forgot about them.

    Well I for one do not like third-party pokemon games. In my honest opinion, they are just a simple way for Nintendo to attempt to make more money by just taking an old game and throwing in new features. I beleive it was smart on Nintendo's behalf because they probably made quite a few million dollars, but really, the only good third-party game so far has been Pokemon Yellow, simply because Pikachu follows you around and you can get all 3 starters.

    So I agree, Emerald SUCKS!

    I personally thought Pokemon Emerald was a great addition to the game list. Updated Graphics and an extended storyline, Getting a Johto starter after completing the Hoenn dex was a great little addition as well.

    To all you people who were disappointed with Emerald, you knew what you were buying, so I wouldn't be complaining.

    Eh, I kinda liked the battle tents as well (although not so much the Battle Frontier for some reason), but other than that, I didn't like or hate Emerald. Since it's pretty much R/S with a few shiny, new features and the ability to get a few more Pokemon, I really can't say I feel anything other than indifferent towards it.

    I never played Ruby and Sapphire before I just played Emerald so I can't complain about their third-party product.

    Sheesh, why so harsh? :S

    I never played it, because I played Ruby and wasnt too thrilled with it. I never liked the third generation POKéMON anyways.

    Move Tutors. Battle Frontier. New pokemon. Better Graphics.

    Emphasizing on the move tutors and the Frontier, these have made the most significant contribution to the game by giving a section on competitive battling and widely increasing the movepool of several pokemon.
    The Battle Frontier is quite possibly the best area in any Pokemon game just because it is the most challenging and creative part of the game.

    Emerald took the shambles of RSE and made it acceptable. I do not hate it, nor do I think it was overtly excellent.

    I personally was quite thrilled with Emerald. The Contest Halls were like the Mini Battle Frontiers, and allow you to train yourself to see what the Battle Frontier is really like. I loved the Battle Frontier too. It was much better than the Battle Tower. Emerald had new pokemon, good graphics, way more storyline, tons of new features. I really don't get what is not to like. I'm not saying it is perfect, but it is pretty good for my tastes. I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed the game.

    that doesn't seem like a mistake to me. They added a lot of features especially the battle frontier which some people like to call it a new region to get badges

    The moving animation was the worse one, even Crystal is better (also better then DP). I hate the moving like zooming, moving from left to right, it really annoys me alot, they are way too simple. Compare to Crystal, the Crystal version is more better. For example like Totodile, Chikorita, Pikachu they have good animation.

    Yeah, I guess I just don't like Hoenn, and Nintendo making another game with Hoenn in it was a big disappointment for me.

    I hate it when people say a game needs variety. Variety ruins games. What we need is one good thing that works.
    Don't you think that playing the same thing over and over would get old pretty fast? I for one think that a lack of variety is the one reason why the gaming industry sucks so much right now. Take a look at the average FPS, they're all just essentially Halo with different textures. If a game doesn't have enough things that make it unique, there's little point in buying it. You wouldn't be getting your money's worth because you've seen it all before. If no games tried to be stand out from the competition, there would only be one video game in existence. It'd be called Pong.

    As for Emerald, I think it would have been a smarter idea to label it as a "collector's edition" as opposed to giving it its own version name. The way they named Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald just seems misleading to me.

    Emerald was twice the game R/S was. It had many more pokemon to capture, new areas to explore including the battle frontier and expanded safari zone. It had improved graphics and expanded gameplay mechanics. I deeper and more interesting plot. More challenging gameplay. After playing through Sapphire and Emerald I can honestly say R/S were shitty compared to Emerald.
