    Which adventure do you like best. I like the Ruby/Sapphire ones best just cause they do Pokemon Contests. Even though Emerald has all those extra features, it no longer has the Contests. What I don't get is why Emerald didn't have them in the Battle Frontier. There were Contests in the Battle Frontier on the anime so why not on the game? That makes no sense.

    Well for me, I'm in Ruby/Sapphire!
    I like the contests, but I also like emerald because it added new extras like the battle frontier.

    I chose Sapphire because it was my first pokemon game. I'm sentimental like that.
    But I love Emerald for the calling option on the Pokenav and the Battle Frontier. One change that I didn't like in Emerald was the battle tents. I never used them, and I had to wait until Lilycove City to enter a contest.

    Sapphire, I recentlly bought the game and It says "It's quite rare" so I'm quite lucky but while playing Emerald I see the differences but Emerald isn't that great because It has not got Contests and that Atracts Girls & Gays to Pokemon.

    Pokemon Emerald is much, much better because of the Battle Frontier. Adds an extra twist in the game that is a lot harder than others think.

    Last time I checked you can join contests once you get to Lilycove City.

    Why do people keep saying Emerald doesn't have contests? The contests are all held in Lilycove. Emerald replaced the contests in the other cities with the much better Battle Tents, making Emerald even better.

    Emerald, mainly because of Rayquaza. But all the updates it made from Ruby and Sapphire are cool also. Like when u r in the middle of 2 trainers you end up battling them both as a double battle. Thats awesome.

    I loved the three due to their various plot changes. Ruby/ Sapphire interested me due to the Box and Battle Card e+ that have been released. Even Colosseum has been stirring me up. But, out of the three, Pokemon Emerald Version is the one I loved most, until now (even after the release of D/P/P.) It's been my favorite due to the accessibility of a new area - Battle Frontier. And accounting that the Contest Ranks are all on one roof. The Battle tents interested me as well. The storyline was awesome and the sprite changes made it even more exceptional. There is no doubt that IMHO, Pokemon Emerald Version is the best! :D

    You confuse me. Emerald has contests. What do you think that big building is at Lilycove? Also there wern't contests at the Battle Frontier like the anime because anime=/=games it's as simple as that.

    I personally prefer Emerald Version for some reason.
