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.

GreenStorm June 11th, 2008 1:52 PM

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.

spike6958 June 11th, 2008 4:54 PM

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...

Mystery2009 June 12th, 2008 3:21 AM

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 pretty much going to agree with this; I personally didn't really like the Third Generation of Pokemon; not because of its Pokemon, but because of its setting, and the execution of said setting. Hoenn had potential to be a great Region, but in my opinion, it shadowed itself. I personally didn't really like the lack of variety, when training certain types of Pokemon, such as Fire, Ground and Rock.

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

dragonarche June 13th, 2008 3:33 AM

i lovved emerald until pokemon pearl came out
cause the battle fonter

Locke Yggdrasill June 13th, 2008 1:12 PM

Yeah, what's not great about watching two legendary titans who control the majority of the power on earth experience an epileptic seizure?

.emerald June 13th, 2008 6:21 PM

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)

Are you referring to me? If so, lol. If Emerald was your first game, then you're obviously not going to find any flaws in it. For those of us who played Ruby and Sapphire, much less R/B/Y/G/S/C, we (or atleast I) was/were expecting a more epic battle than just two pokemon shifting back and forth in a two sprite animation. Also, the new features didn't excite me too much because I'm not one for battling, however I did breeze through the battle frontier. Also I caught all the one-off pokemon in it, however I got too bored with it to complete my pokedex. It's not that I'm not competent enough to enjoy it, it's that I'm too competent to enjoy it. ;)

no, im not reffering to you(sorry!) im reffering to the guy who started the thread...

GKS June 14th, 2008 10:43 AM

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.

legendtaker June 14th, 2008 7:41 PM

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??

Lord_Sesshoumaru June 14th, 2008 8:43 PM

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........!

JollyRoger25 June 14th, 2008 10:01 PM

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.

Ninja Caterpie June 15th, 2008 3:16 AM

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.

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

Shadow236 June 17th, 2008 6:35 AM

I thought that Pokemon emerald was the best of em all. Soo many features, so many
awsome pokemon!! Battle Frontier rules!

Sydian June 17th, 2008 7:54 AM

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.

ShadowTails June 18th, 2008 8:05 AM

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.
