Oh yeah, Event Pokemon are the worst. Especially if you live in England, there are never events anywhere near me!
No, the engines are completely different! Ruby and Sapphire had their own engines while Emerald had the same one as FireRed and LeafGreen.Yeah bucks AI is terrible, anyway, the time machine was possible because the engine for r/b/y was pritty much the same as \g\s\c but now compare that to sapphire and ruby and aboves game engine, full colours, things like natures, ect. All this would make it impossible to do trading with the previous gen... It was a shame though I agree
