What did you think of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald? How did it compare to FireRed and LeafGreen? Was the addition of Emerald what you had in mind? Were the three games as good as you expected them to be? Basically this is a discussion thread about your opinions on Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Post your opinions.
What I liked about the three games was that Ruby and Sapphire were the link to the Pokémon games of a lot better graphics. The sprites for the games were a lot better quality, as well as the Pokémon map. The Pokémon that were introduced in the 3rd generation were actually quite enjoyable, though the generation had went overboard with the introduction of far too many legendary Pokémon. The Kyogre / Groudon / Rayquaza legend that was introduced in the story actually made some good sense, though Rayquaza didn't have a huge part in the legend before Emerald was introduced. Kyogre and Groudon had a nice flare in their parts of the story. I especially enjoyed how they were complete opposites of each other. Team Aqua and Team Magma were fantastic, as they were both seemingly evil and wanted to capture the legendary Pokémon that they had worshipped. Villainous teams relating to legendary Pokémon were a great idea too.
Now, Emerald was fantastic for me. The Battle Frontier was a wonderful addition to the game – it gave trainers more things to do after they had beaten the game. Scott was okay, but he did get annoying after a while. Scott didn't even play such a huge role in the storyline, and the hero keeps bumping into the guy over and over again. The storyline alteration was fantastic; I loved the short clip when Rayquaza flies into Sootopolis City. It had added onto the excitement of the game greatly. The sunlight-rain changes in weather were thrillers too, as it added onto the suspense that had been created by Kyogre and Groudon. Now, there were some great additions to the storyline, such as the Marine / Terra Cave. I, personally, enjoy when I enter a cave since caves are very maze-like. In real life, I am fascinated by the caves and the creatures that haunt them. Emerald gave the hero the opportunity to capture both Kyogre and Groudon, which was a definite plus.
Now, the Pokémon that had been introduced in the generation were alright. I didn't like the fact that there were so many legendaries introduced in that generation, as I had said before. The fact that the only evolutionary relationship that the 3rd Generation had was Azurill was quite disappointing. I expected some crazy and whacky evolutions, while they could be quite enjoyable too. I highly enjoyed the side minor-legend of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. Some of the Pokémon that were introduced were quite pointless, too. Luvdisc and Spinda are good examples. What I absolutely hated was the starter Pokémon that were introduced. First there is Blaziken, who is a fighting chicken. Kung-fu chickens can be called extremely random from my point of view. Next, there is Swampert, who is a mud fish Pokémon. Now who ever heard of a mud fish? Sure, there are a species of fish called mud fish but I doubt they are anything related to the ground. Sceptile was fine by me, though geckos appeared more of a bug or a rock type instead of a grass type. Some of the Pokémon introduced were downright ridiculous. Chimecho, a wind chime Pokémon? The makers of Pokémon were just drawing inanimate objects and making fictional characters out of them.
FireRed and LeafGreen were okay. They weren't the best because they didn't have too much story involved in the games. No legendary Pokémon had been involved in the main storyline. I personally thought Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald were a lot better than FireRed and LeafGreen. The storyline of the games were quite dull, I have to admit that. I disliked the Journal that had been introduced. It got quite annoying after a while. I like the Sevii Islands however, because it added on to the relatively short storyline. The Vs.Seeker was definitely a nice addition to the item bag.
Overall, I liked Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. It could have been better, but it isn't to the point that I'd die for the game. Now that Platinum has been announced, I look forward to the additions.
