    Emerald ftw. Breeding is faster/easier, battle frontier kicks my arse everyday, and catching more legendaries is nice. ^_^

    It costs 21 bucks at Gamestop? 8O After I get some money, I should buy another one for fun since my brother sold his game and my Emerald is full of junk... :x

    Yeah, but I just found this website where I can get it for $3.00 with free shipping. I was surprised it was so cheap!

    I liked Emerald out of all of them.It had animated Pokemon, both of the teams fighting each other, the ability to get Raquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre.It was fun to play and I really recommend it.Oh and it has the Battle Frontier.

    I also think Emerald is the best.You can have Nintendo Events that can catch Latias/Latios(either one will be the different of the one you chose after you beat the E4),Mew,Deoxys(Speed),Ho-oh and Lugia.Whereas Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire has only the Latias/Latios event.;)

    I have preferences for Sapphire and Emerald; Emerald I played first, but Sapphire seems to have a better 'feel' to it. I don't appreciate the new features all that much - the novelty was lost after a while.

    Pokemon Emerald is better than Ruby/Sapphire.It's a mix of Ruby/Sapphire.I love this game because I can get both R/S Legends (Groudon,Kyogre,Latias,Latios,Rayquaza).Too bad I can't get both Lati....
