Who here doesn't like Pokemon Emerald
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.
|
Dude emerald was totally worth it You obtain ever legendary hoenn has to offer (apart from the other [email protected])and its probably worth buying this game just for the frontier its a good challenge that will keep me amused for quite a while ive been at the frontier for a month and have only got 2 symbols (But thats because i suck lol)
|
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.

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

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.

I loved it!
Dude, this game rocked me & its a hit with me.

Emerald...? Are you talking about Hoenn? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HOENN?!
But seriously... Really don't get why Gen III (outside the rather bland Gen I remakes) get so much unfair hate. The Generation the bulk of this fanbase sitdown and praise like god was nothing but more than a living flaw and it took it's third version to actually make it a half-decent game... As for me, I love Emerald I actually wrote why in a thread not too long ago so I'll just copy-paste it here if it's alright: "After PKMN Ruby, my faith in the franchise was revitalized due to the games heavy level of fun and replay and moreover, fixing the vast mistakes PKMN G/S/C made and went back to what made Pokemon so great. And well, despite the hype around FR/LG Hoenn still proved to be the most creative of the four regions. While R/S had a lot after main game while Emerald... There's just so much for the single player to do! I mean, 1. the story was a huge improvement over R/S by having both teams (Magma and Aqua) to combat, having two of the coolest box art legendaries duke it out as per their rivalry alluded in the previous games. This leads to: 2. Giving Rayquaza an importance (another cool legendary) to the game outside being some post-game 'mon to catch. 3. Upgraded difficulty. May not say much for some, but if you started from scratch and chose to lack a certain team balance like I did, the Pokemon change-ups and slightly smarter AI would really throw you off and give you a bit more of a fight. (*Note: This is also my answer to the lack of diversity thread, cutting off access to older/stronger 'mons simply promote the newer guys who actually are quite impressive compared their predecessors.) 4. Most important reason of all: VERY HIGH REPLAY VALUE. And compared to previous gens, R/S already beat them out from the start. But Emerald throwing in Gym Leader rematches (how long have we been begging for that), giving Berries more purpose, upgrading Breeding, giving us the ability to explore extra areas so we DON'T HAVE TO trade to get both fossils and certain Pokes AND Battle Frontier (Battle Factory, I'll finish you yet!) alongside some other fun side things, Emerald has got to be the most rewarding (and battle centric) single player game within the Pokemon main games. Love that game and I'm still playing it!" |
Look, Emerald is good game, a cheap remake, but still a good game. If you have both Ruby and Sapphire, then you might want to buy it for it's extra features. Look up it's extra features and think if you'll like them or not.
If you only have either Ruby or Sapphire, you might want it for the extra Pokémon and extra features, check out what Pokémon it has you can't get, and it's extra features, then decide based on that. If you don't have either Ruby or Sapphire, then: OMG GET EMERALD!!! IT ROXS!!! NOTE: Okay, my actual advice for the last one is: If you like Pokemon games, you should get it, if you love Hoenn get it, why? Because you missed out on R/S, and Emerald is a mix of them both, with extra features. |
I love Hoen, love the places...
As I said, the thing that I don't like is moving animation, the movement are worse bad Crystal has the better moving animation. |
all i can say about emerald is
silver>emerald>crystal 'nuff said about that |
Aha emerald is good. Grapics could have been fr/lg but hey nothings perfect. But yeah I liked it not hate it. Except for tate and liz. If you had blaizken you were screwed.
|
I liked Emerald. I think it was a great addition. It had new features like:
New Deoxys Move Tutors Battler Frontier Animated Pokemon Can get a G/S/C starter after completing PokeDex Updated Graphics Even though these features aren't the best, it was still fun. And to be honest, Crystal was like Emerald (a third addition). It was only Gold and Silver with some new features. So was Yellow. If you don't like Emerald, don't buy it. |
I thought Emerald was good...
A huge step up from Ruby and Sapphire and funner then Fire Red and Leaf Green in my personal opinion. |
For me Yellow, Crystal and Emerald where the three best games, due to the games having longer and deeper storylines compared to Red/Blue, Gold/Silver and Ruby/Sapphire, also despite been dissapointed with Hoenn as a whole when Ruby/Sapphire came out, i thought Emerald was a fun, enjoyable and challanging game.
|
Your kidding, right? Emerald brought us the best breeding in the 3rd gen by a loooooooooooong shot, access to plenty of Ditto, ingame IV checker, Jhoto Pokemon, exclusive moves via move tutors, battle tents, and finally the Battle Frontier which issued at least somewhat of a challenge post Elite 4 In my opinion the perfect setup for the true competitive game that D/P can be. Everyone has their own opinion I guess...
|
althought it is true nintendo conspires to "make" us spend money on another game because it has a few tweaks and or items or events, nintendo makes up for it with the games longevity and longlasting design(physical design).as for emerald. i rather liked the frontier as it taught people who didnt really know, things about nature and for the first time(for some ppl) you really got indepth with ivs evs and ect. it also brings us rare move tutor moves and some of the pokemon we hold in such high regard for wifi battles so in my opinon i rather like emerald but i still dislike nintendo for not remaking s/g/c yet ~_~"

I'm probably going too far into personal preferences, here, but it also turned the first Generation where I didn't like the Water type Starter, which I had liked Gen I and Gen II's quite comfortably, and it brought the most pointless pre-evolution imaginable, into the world of Pokemon; Wynaut. Why they saw it fit to bring in a pre-evo of a pot luck Pokemon is beyond me.. that's actually the only thing I don't like Generation II for; Wobbuffet.. Anyways, I digress; Emerald sort of made up for the somewhat optimistic blunder of Ruby and Sapphire. It still retained its "God, this is so tedious" training times, (on Ruby, I never got a Pokemon to Level 100; close, but never all the way, while on D/P, I've got 4 in a quarter of the time owning it) but it wasn't as noticeable as it had been with R/S; at least to me. Battle Frontier expanded upon the Battle Tower idea of Crystal even more, which wasn't a bad touch; especially for those with a liking for competitive battling; it was in there for the extra challenge. |
Emerald was better then R/S imo. If you got through R/S and then bought Emerald a few months later, you're bound to dislike it, thats the nature of the games released as the 3rd games.
I like firered/leafgreen tbh |
i lovved emerald until pokemon pearl came out
cause the battle fonter |
Yeah, what's not great about watching two legendary titans who control the majority of the power on earth experience an epileptic seizure?
|
maybe... he just got so bumed about losing in frontier(always), not catching all the legends & so on... or he got used to the other gens.... thats why he said emerald isnt a good game. for me emerald is the first & best game that i have. not to brag but... i completed my pokedex & finished frontier(silver & gold, somthing HE could not do)

Emerald is, in my opinion, better than R/S, but still, it is viritually a copy of R/S with some changes. Yellow, Crystal, Emerald and Platinum are all like that.
|
emerald is better than r/s, because unlike r/s you can catch both kyogre, groudon and mew, which you could not catch in the newer games until emerald. and if anyone has any major complaints go take it to nintendo. though they'll just tell you to head home.
and Goldie, who are you to bring down a pokemon game. Do you even own or have played pokemon emerald eh?? |
What do you think about the older versions like G/S/C and G/R/B/Y, the color gens are all the same except the Pikachu in Yellow, so if you guys think that Emerald is a mistak, your wrong cuz that was the original plan for nintendo to make the versions in order....... Why do you think that Ruby and Sapphire first came out before Emerald? It's the same reason for R/B and G/S...! Nintendo thiught that when we are getting bored with the current versions, they release the same version but with new appearance and added new stuff........!
|
I like Emerald, I also liked the other third party games. They take whats good from the first two and puts it in a single game, with a little extra, after crystal I resolved to only buy third party games, making it tough to get my pokedexes full, but a resolve is a resolve.
|
Look.
R/S < Emerald = FR/LG Make sense to ya all? I may never have played R/S but I have hacked it and played hacks OF it...and they...in my opinion, weren't as good as Emerald. I got Emerald first, anyway. Look, it's the same price. Might as well get some extra features. |
=O
Are you kidding NO WAY. Emerald is the BEST Hoenn game ever. If it wasn't for Emerald people would have never gotten most Jhoto pokemon into there Diamonds. Yes i know they can trade. But that is just stupid. I'll rather work hard and catch them than migrate. If it wasn't for emerald I would've never gotten my favorite shiny Shuckle. BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL. If it wasn't for Emerald I would have never met Pike Queen Lucy O___________O; The beautiful Queen Of Serpentine.;) I LOVED THE BATTLE FRONTIER IN EMERALD. I love the Battle Pike, I love Tube Queen Azami. I like all the frontier brains................. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :16: :16: :16: |

I thought that Pokemon emerald was the best of em all. Soo many features, so many
awsome pokemon!! Battle Frontier rules! |
Emerald is a great game, as with all thirdparty games, like Yellow and Crystal.
Animated Pokemon, rebattling gym leaders, battling Steven in Meteor Falls...I could go on. Emerald completely topples Ruby and Sapphire, in my opinion. |

Good to hear ^^. Nice to be your friend as well. I am so Pike Queen Lucy obbssed that my room is full of Pike Queen Lucy posters. I have Pike Queen Lucy painted on my wall by a professional. My room is Purple. Anyone who hates Pike Queen Lucy is my enemy. * and you don't wanna be my enemy. >.> :16: |

It's not 3rd Party... quit trying to make things up! Call it the 3rd game in the series or something because 3rd party means a game not made by Nintendo, and if anything Emerald is 2nd party as it's made by Gamefreak.
|
Well, I for one like it. You can also get both Kyogre, and Groudon on lvl 70!
Well, I for one like it. You can catch both Kyogre and Groudon on lvl 70! Also, their is more of a storyline. |
i hate it too two games come out and then after everyone has already spent their money they come out with this dumb third game and everyone's mad nintendo needs to cut it out
|
I dislike it...
To me the only good thing about it is getting all the legendaries, and thats not even that great. The games are all depending on level pretty much, the elite four is very easy to beat and they don't even change Pokemon the second time around, unlike Fire Red, or Leaf green. And the storyline might be longer but i don't really like it.. |
emerald was one of my fav games out of pokemon it had so much content and things to do
the battle frontier was awesome and u can catch kyogre and groudon, i really like the story line as well and recieving the johto starter after completing the hoenn dex was the best part of the game it felt overwhelming to get my little cynda |
Quote:
>.> Don't be rediculous. Who was telling you to buy Sapphire and Ruby eh? NO ONE. You bought it. Anyway I bought Diamond and I love Diamond. It's always good to have the old games to look back at. Because each game has a different story line. Each game is unique in some way. I liked Sapphire, because I caught my first Feebas in it. I liked Sapphire because I went to Mirage Island in it. People please don't complain............. X____X :16: |
