Like I've said in the other threads, Emerald is awesome.

And the sprites are pretty too. =3

[Mr Cat Dog]

Well, I don't have any pictures... but I do have information:

You can get both fossils in Emerald

Go to the desert as normal, and there turns out to be a massive tower called "Illusion Pillar". You need the Mach Bike, as it sort of resembles Sky Pillar with the cracks. When you get to the top (having fought off Wild Trapinch and Sandshrew... there may be others but I haven't seen them yet), you choose your fossil and the tower crumbles to the ground, taking the other fossil with it... But not for long ^_~
After beating the Elite Four, go to the Fossil Maniac's house on Route 114, and go through to the tunnel area like before to find him. Instead of ending there, go through the newly accquired hole, and proceed to go into the tunnel to find Ditto!!!!! and Whismur and Loudred. At the end of the tunnel will be the fossil you rejected beforehand.

Non Hoenn Pokemon

So far I have only found three, but they are:

Ditto - the Fossil Maniac's Underground Tunnel, after beating Elite Four
Smeargle - In a cave called Studio Cave, found in the Battle Frontier
Sudowoodo - A tree that looks familiar from GSC props up in a grassy area also near the Battle Frontier. Give it a Wailmer Pail

I'll update this later... I've got to go to school now. There's also the new Gym Leader/Champion, and the full Kyogroudon story.

 

[Shion]

Has Nintendo fixed the berry glitch?

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Continuing my updaty thingymabob:

New Gym Leader/Champion, and New Gym Leader/Elite Four Pokemon

Long title... but OK. As Satoshi-kun kindly pointed out, there is a new Gym Leader in Sootopolis and Wallace is the new Champion, taking Steven's place. The new Sootopolis Gym Leader is called Ardan. Both trainers have Water Pokemon teams... and here they are:

Ardan: Luvdisc (41) Kingdra (46) Sealeo (43) Crawdaunt (43) Whiscash (41)
Wallace: Wailord (57) Milotic (58) Tentacruel (55) Ludiocolo (56) Gyarados (56) Whiscash (56)

As for the rest of the Gym Leaders, some of them have different Pokemon as well as some of the original. I'll posts the teams with the different Pokemon only:

Brawly - Makuhita (19) Meditite (16) Machop (16)
Wattson - Voltorb (20) Electrike (20) Magneton (22) Manectric (24)
Flannery - Slugma (24) Numel (24) Camerupt (26) Torkoal (29)
Norman - Vigoroth (27) Slaking (31) Spinda (27) Linoone (29)
Winona - Swablu (29) Tropius (29) Skarmory (31) Pellipper (30) Altaria (33)
Tate/Liza - Lunatone (42) Solrock (42) Xatu (41) Claydol (41)

Sidney - Crawdaunt instead of Sharpedo
Drake - Kingdra instead of second Flygon

Kyogroudon caves

After beating the Elite Four, go to the Weather Institue and someone there will tell you about some caves. They appear to be different locations, but when you go to each of them, you will see Kyogre in one, and Groudon in the other. They are both Level 70, AND you can run from them without them leaving... which isn't spectacular... but I found out after accidentally pressing the Run ^_^ This kinda quashes the rumour of not getting them in Emerald after all. :D

 

[PoKeSaFaRi]

Yeah, Groudon is at Shore Island and Kyogre at Sea Island.. if i'm not mistaken. I managed to do some emerald-playing today ^^;

 

[Thomas]

Look...you talk to prof birch after slateport...but what about?????

 

[Thomas]

How do you know what all of that stuff means???? I am thinking someone who knows japaneese should translate all the new stuff in the game.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

... So Groudon and Kyogre are now in different random locations or...?

I think there are selected routes, but they were both in different caves. I found Kyogre in Route 105, and Groudon in Route 115... but this might be different for other people. Also - PoKeSaFaRi pointed out their names... which are correct.

The Smeargle Cavern is called Studio Cave... like an artist's studio I presume. ^_^

 

[Dark Heaven]

For those who don't want to fight.
I don't know if there is code thread for Emerald, I can't seem to find one.

[Kairi]

There's a lot more to Emerald than there was to Crystal or Yellow, compared to their counterparts. Actually looks quite good! Keep up the good work guys. ^_^

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

There are also some people who are Move Tutors that can teach you moves for a price of Battle Points. The good thing is that you can teach these to multiple Pokemon... but they cost a fair bit of points. All are over 15, and I'll put up a price list once I've seen them all.

The one on the right teaches:

Defense Curl | Snore | Mud Slap | Swift | Icy Wind | Endure | Psych Up | Elemental Punches

The one on the left teaches:

Softboiled | Seismic Toss | Dream Eater | Mega Punch/Kick | Body Slam | Rock Slide | Counter | Thunder Wave | Swords Dance

 

[Dark Heaven]

Finally, my Typhlosion will be able to learn Thunder Punch.
So, he can knock off water Pokemon now.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Steven's Meteor Falls team

Skarmory (77) Claydol (75) Cradily (76) Armaldo (76) Aggron (76) Metagross (78)

Price List for Battle Frontier Move Tutors

16 BP - Defense Curl, Softboiled
24 BP - Snore, Mud Slap, Swift, Icy Wind, Seismic Toss, Dream Eater, Mega Punch/Kick
48 BP - Endure, Psych Up, Elemental Punches, Body Slam, Rock Slide, Counter, Thunder Wave, Swords Dance

 

[Arcanine]
