Whats Better?
 
Hey Guys/Gals You guys tell me What GBA Game Is The Best out of the above then Give one Reason Why.I personally Say Emerald Because its in Hoenn my Favourite region and has all three Legendarys!

Charizard★ November 16th, 2009 5:34 PM

Either Emerald or FireRed. :/ its a hard choice.

Sydian November 16th, 2009 5:36 PM

I didn't like FRLG and Emerald is just a badass version of Ruby/Sapphire, soooo...it takes the win for me. Not to mention the introduction of the Battle Frontier.

Kirbychu November 16th, 2009 5:42 PM

Emerald, definitely.
  • You get to take on two evil teams.
  • I liked the selection of Pokemon in Hoenn.
  • The Battle Frontier was great, even better than Platinum's.
  • Gym Leader rematches (Double battles!).
  • Geographically, I love the Hoenn region, it's my favorite. So many interesting areas...

If by endlessly fun you mean a boring waste of time then yeah they are endless fun and are the best places in pokearth

Leaf Green. I never liked Hoenn as a region (too much water, unmemorable gym leaders/Elite Four), I LOVE Leaf's character design, and the selection of Pokemon gives it the edge over Fire Red.

PhantomDraco November 17th, 2009 10:45 AM

Fire Red has always been my favorite. It was the first Pokemon game I ever played, and I went through at the same time a friend was playing LG, so it was a lot of fun.

addam19 November 17th, 2009 10:50 AM

I like ruby because i love Groudon *-*

Nikorasu November 17th, 2009 11:25 AM

Emerald, It had the best and biggest story line. Plus you could catch lots of legendaries. I hated fire-red it had such a boring storyline with the bits of getting the rubya nd sapphire :\

Destinyfate November 17th, 2009 5:48 PM

Id say
2.Leafgreen/Fired
3.Ruby/Saphire

Sky_Attack November 18th, 2009 6:06 AM

I think I had the most fun playing Emerald, but I also like FR/LG.

So my first choice is Emerald.

yaminokaitou November 18th, 2009 6:44 AM

I'm not a big fan of R/S/E. I prefer FR/LG.

Heather November 18th, 2009 8:03 AM

My favourite would be Emerald. Hoenn is my favorite region and I also loved having both Rayquaza and Swampert on my team (both are favourite Pokemon).

aka_Pyro November 18th, 2009 12:54 PM

I played Yellow first, so FR definitely gets points for nostalgia with me. Yet, I prefer Sapphire Version. On every Pokemon game I have, I've restarted at least once, with the exception of Sapphire and Diamond.

So, that means I've had the same Sapphire Version game file since I first opened the game up in 2003. Since then, I've raised an amazing Blaziken, ousted Team Aqua, saved Hoenn from disaster and preserved Kyogre from being used for evil, used my Nintendo Power EON Ticket to get myself a Latios, and traded them both to Colosseum where they mop the floor with Team Snagem and Team Cipher.

I don't plan on importing anything from Sapphire to Diamond. I hold every Pokemon I capture and raise there to be sacred, and don't want to defile them with 4th Gen mechanics and battle animations. :P

I enjoyed Sapphire mainly because it only cut out things from Gold and Silver that it had no room for; another league of badges, a true day-night cycle, and Team Rocket. Other than that, and its awesome musical score, it made some serious breakthroughs alongside Ruby Version, especially the whole island-hopping mechanic employed later on in Fire Red and Leaf Green, double battles, secret bases (and repeating battles with your friends' best teams :) ), and it introduced one of my favorite Pokemon, Rayquaza!

agreed, and the Egg hatching wasn't fun either.

Wings Don't Cry November 20th, 2009 9:53 PM

R/B/Y was fun but then Fr/Lg came out and ruined Kanto for me. Seriously I hate those stupid islands and finding a bunch of plates to trade with R/S/E. The Pokedex was also the worse looking one out of all the games.

Emerald was by far the best, mainly because of the Battle Dome and 2 groups of villains to go up against and teaming up with Steven.

Chaos Uxie November 21st, 2009 1:12 AM

Poekmon Emerald coz i liked when the pokemons can move and i could cathc all three legendaries

Tori November 21st, 2009 9:03 AM

i liked emerald because:
1. its a combined version of R/S
2. you can catch the three legenadries
3. i never tried out R/FR/LG
lol

Ayselipera November 21st, 2009 10:01 AM

Hmm well heres the thing...

Emerald was just so much fun. I could play it over and over and not get bored of it. Plus the battle frontier was very enjoyable, which was something I wasn't expecting at all.

FR/LG was a remake that I had been waiting for, for so long. Plus the added sevii islands gave you so much to do at the end, so it wasn't as boring as the originals.

I think I might have to call it a tie. :o

Klofkac November 21st, 2009 10:40 AM

Emerald. Animated sprites are good!

Tears In The Rain November 21st, 2009 12:16 PM

Fire red and Leaf Green, I am not a fan of Hoenn.

SIN1488 November 21st, 2009 12:19 PM

I like all of them that i've played (Ruby and Leafgreen)

But I picked Ruby only because after I bought it from my friend, I started liking pokemon again.

lavenderbolt November 25th, 2009 1:10 AM

emerald since it has animated pokemon and battle frontier, at least i could try to do something rather than just end up the game with nothing like RS, FRLG

King! November 25th, 2009 11:26 AM

Well, I voted for Emerald.

It beats Ruby and Sapphire because it basically combines the two, and adds more (ex. all three legendaries, both teams, etc.). Plus, there's the Battle Frontier, with so much more ot do after the game.

It also beats FireRed/ Leafgreen, because...well, I liked the design of the region better, and the balance of water, forests, deserts, mountains, etc., plus the Pokemon you could get throughout the game.
