    Hi, i recently joined this forum.

    here's my deal. i played pokemon RB extensively when it came out, like, a couple thousand hours. i was 13.

    when GS came out, i played it for a little bit, but couldn't really get into it as much as the originals.

    then crystal came out, and when i wasn't even interested in getting a copy for myself, i thought i was done with pokemon.

    now, i'm an old, bored college student and i see all of these exciting pokemon games coming out for the GBA system that i just happen to have gotten my hands on (my younger brother doesn't play with it anymore and gave it to me.)

    i haven't played pokemon in years. i'm basically just wondering what i've been missing?

    i know there are many, many more pokemon available. how many are there now?

    i'm going to buy an emerald game tomorrow morning and start playing it, and i was looking up some info online and saw that on saturday, may 14 there is going to be a pokemon convention in rockefeller center where i can get some kind of secret prize to catch two different legendary birds. (Ho oh and Lugia?) so i'll be going to that with my brand new cartridge. too bad i won't be able to get in any battles! my monsters will not be trained enough lol. hopefully i'll make some cool trades. i'll bring my old cards that i don't care about anymore but apparently are worth something now and see if i can't trade them for rare pokemon that people have caught. and for the fun of it i'll bring my RB games and whip out the old teams if any of these youngsters still even carry those games.

    this is going to be my third pokemon convention i think.

    man. i'm 20. i am pretty pathetic, but hey, its good fun, i guess. my girlfriend thinks i'm nuts hahahaha.

    soo. if you read all this, thanks. if not, i'll summarize. i just need to know what the difference between ALL of the GBA games are and if getting emerald right now is my best chance at having the best game. i want to re-catch all of them.

    also, did i miss much by not playing GSC?

    okay. definately too long. thanks again if anyone can help me out.
     
    it seems as though emerald is compatable with firered and leafgreen as well as ruby and saphire. is this true? can you battle/trade amongst all the games if you own a copy of emerald?

    also, are firered and leafgreen just remakes of the original GB games with some added features? if so, what features were added?

    ALSO hahaha sorry, i have access to a gamecube. is there anything i should know about available games for it that are compatible with GBA? i know that when i played my RB on pokemon stadium on nintendo 64 it was really helpful.

    okay. i think thats it for now. if i have any more questions i'll come back. hopefully you guys can help me out.
     
    I like GSC more because i can get to Kanto after Elite 4 although i cant do much things there.
    Emerald can trade, mix record, battle with Fire red, leaf green, sapphire and ruby!
     
    mix record is quite fun!!
    I can visit their secret bases and battle with friends and snatch their money!!
     
    yes. to get Ho-oh and Lugia there you must have a FR/LG/E. there you download the MysticTicket, which takes you to Navel Rock, which has Ho-Oh and Lugia
     
    hmm, this may seem a little bit offtopic but anyways... I think someone should go to NYC on Saturday if they are in the area or live in the city and post a photo gallery, etc, of the happenings and daily events at the opening. :P
     
    Man, I wish I was in NYC. Then I can get the tickets, then realize I don't have Emerald then make a complete A** of myself. I WANT EMERALD!
     
    Hey guys Im going to the convention today!!!,and I want to battle all sorts of trainers on my emerald...but sorry I dont have a camera,I will probly make a seperate thread on how it turns out

    ps:to mark np gsc you did miss out on a few things but since you never played that generation emarald will blow you away.
     
    I get to go today ^____^.. rengadez... look for a 15 yr old girl with brown hair and a Mew keychian on her drawstring bag ! :O!!!!!
