3rd Gen What do you play you Pokemon GBA Games for?

[mrshaun7]

I play my'n to transfer Pokemon like Articuno and Groudon.

 

[yaminokaitou]

I play it to transfer my pokemon to Pearl. It's kind of sad, but I'm horribly sick of FireRed...

 

[Uryū Ishida]

I used to play them to transfer pokemon to my diamond, but now i have finished that, so i sold my FR.

 

[Denuo]

I like them, a bit more fast paced than Diamond, and to have a bit of a break.

Although, now that I have diamond I don't play them very often, but I still do now and then.

I play them because I don't have Pearl yet (or a DS for that matter...) and to transfer Pokemon once I do get Pearl. xD

 

[msdmario]

I bought Fire Red and Emerald to migrate all those Pokemon you can't get in Diamond. Now that I caught them all in Diamond, I play Fire Red and Emerald more often now trying to catch them all as well.

 

[darkrai_of_darkness2]

same here migration
thats why i bought fire red and all of them for

 

[mrshaun7]

I guess we all do it for the same reason. I wonder what other reasons are...

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

I play them because I just...enjoy them. (And to trade Pokemon via Pal Park)
I've restarted my Emerald game a few times, so I can level up my Pokemon more at the beggining. :P

Like Ausaudriel said, I have some good memories of my Ruby version, but it's lost now, so I play Emerald instead.
I love the music in R/S/E, mostly the music for routes 119/120.

I actually like R/S/E better than D/P.

 

[Idle.]

I play them for the fun of completing them.I don't restart but I think I should restart emerald or maybe I should get all the BF symbols and train a great team.Choices..

 

[mrshaun7]

I only play to transfer then raise them there.

 

[mad567]

well all time classics i play my emerald to get some shinies

 

[blubergate]

ummmmm, i don't get it, i play them because they are just as good as D/P, the only differene is graphics, i play firered and emerald just as much as my diamond, i mean what is the difference? really!

 

[Sajiri]

I play Emerald because I think its far more fun than D/P. Also I prefer to breed an EV train in emerald because I keep losing my EV value list for Sinnoh and I know the best ev training spots in emerald. I recall not being able to find any decent ev training places in Pearl anyway (apart from Sp Atk)

 

[mrshaun7]

Hmmm... It seems like the Majority of us uses them to transfer...

 

[Skaterzpenguin]

I sometimes transfer my pokemon to diamond and pearl because it seems easier to train. ;) also I am playing my ruby version as well, so far I have 3 badges. :)

 

[Smarties-chan]

I play Emerald for the faster breeding as well as the tutored moves. I started a new game after migrating all my stuff to Diamond because I need to get a good IVd, Regirock, Regice and Registeel and Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza. (so sue me if I enjoy an Uber match every now and then. :x) Firered, I play for fun. Kanto is my favorite region of all time and the gameplay is generally much more enjoyable than in the newer games. FR/LG also happen to be the only two Pokémon games that (in my opinion) actually have some memorable tracks. I love everything from the route themes to the final battle music and there are very few (if any) tracks in Firered and Leafgreen that I dislike. That, and there's the nostalgia factor. The graphics are also the best Pokémon game graphics ever made in my opinion.

I agree to everything, except the tracks and game graphics part ;).
