Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald?
 
Since my DS's bottom screen is broken and I can't play ds games on it, I'm going to get a new gba game (since I can still play those on it)... And so I ask, which one is the best? I was going to pick emerald... but it's cheaper than ruby and sapphire, what's the deal? ...Thanks! Oh, and I already have firered and leafgreen.

EDIT: Should have made a poll... awww...

I liked Emerald the best. There is plenty to do after you beat the game like the Battle Frontier. You can refight the Gym Leaders in a double battle. They'll have pokemon from Johto and Kanto. Also, you can catch both of the legendaries in this game. Finally, Emerald doesn't have that ugly text font that Ruby and Sapphire have.

I would also pick emerald, it does have alot more to do and also alot more pokemon to catch than ruby or sapphire.

Pocky August 24th, 2007 12:51 PM

I agree, Emerald has so much more than Sapphire and Ruby. You can get both Legendaries, and some Johto pokemon. I wish I still had mine, but I was stupid and gave it to my local Gamestop-_-

I have all 5 games (lg/fr/r/s/e) and the only one that I play is the emerald. I'm working to get them all up to level 100 plus you can also clone on emerald as well.

It's Emerald for all the things Pocky said

Me2UJus4Free August 24th, 2007 5:19 PM

Emerald is the best out of the three. It has a lot more features, and you can end up in a double battle at anytime. Which is great.

Random August 24th, 2007 9:00 PM

I would just go with emerald, its just the same as Ruby or Sapphire, expect more addons, and new stuff like Battle Frontier, and New area in Safari Zone after beating the game.

The Fallen August 24th, 2007 10:02 PM

Emerald would be best. It has more things to do and you can get both Kyogre and Groudon; plus you get to pick if you want Latias or Latios.

May I ask what store you have seen Emerald in?

And..yeah, get Emerald.

daniofchaos August 25th, 2007 12:00 AM

Emerald I say because you have a lot more events and alot more pokemons and you can get almost(or maybe:P) all the legendarys.

n3croart August 25th, 2007 1:43 AM

Sapphire/Emerald. Because.. some pokes can't be obtained on Emerald and Ruby so Sapphire may help. If one.. probs Emerald.

Thanks! *Runs to Gamestop*

I like all 3 but I'd definitely go with Emerald. Reasons why have already been said so no need to go over them again

go to battle frontier and go inside any of the battle arenas. put the pokemon you want cloned in your pc and save. now get them out and go to battle. after chosing your squad the woman will say befor you enter you must save. say yes then there will be a pause. she will say would you like to save and you just turn of the gameboy.

buy emerald...

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ August 27th, 2007 5:22 AM

yes you should have made this a Poll anyways pick Emerald because there is more stuff to do like the Battle Frontier, you catch more Pokemon and you can clone Pokemon


:t354:TG

ptudia August 27th, 2007 5:50 AM

the only reason pokemon saph/ruby are cheaper is because there are less of them at gamestop

Ayano Katagiri August 27th, 2007 3:10 PM

Go for Emerald like everyone else has said, it's pretty much the works being the combination of both Ruby and Sapphire storylines. And the ability to catch all of Groudon, Rayquaza and Kyogre in one game is good, right? xD

TwilightBlade August 27th, 2007 3:16 PM

Emerald ftw. Breeding is faster/easier, battle frontier kicks my arse everyday, and catching more legendaries is nice. ^_^

It costs 21 bucks at Gamestop? 8O After I get some money, I should buy another one for fun since my brother sold his game and my Emerald is full of junk... :x

WarHawk August 27th, 2007 3:19 PM

[I think you should buy Emerald because there is way more to do,Battle Frontier,and no ugly text all squished up together.]

Yeah, but I just found this website where I can get it for $3.00 with free shipping. I was surprised it was so cheap!
