Pokemon Emerald is the third ( 3rd ) pokemon game that takes place at the Hoenn Region . At the start of the game , this game seems very identical to pokemon ruby and sapphire , how ever there is more than meets the eye if you ask me about this game .This is the 2nd most selling game of 2005 in the North America and the 3rd most selling game of all the Game Boy Advance ( GBA ) games . Emerald is also the last main series game released on Game Boy line of hand held .
Difference Between Ruby / Sapphire And Emerald : 1. At the start ( Inside of your house while the pokemons are arranging your things ) Vigoroths where the one moving the boxes instead of the Machokes . ( Did you noticed that ? ) 2. The pokemon that attacked professor Birch , which was a Zigzagoon was also replaced by a Poochyena . ( That one was kinda obvious ) 3. The color of the Champion's room was change from blue to purple . 4. Your rival and your clothes were replaced with brand new green clothes . ( I noticed the bandanna ) 5. A little girl is blocking the road other than a little boy. ( This road was the exit of little root town ) 6. Poochyena is much more common to appear than Zigzagoon. 7. Norman has a Linoone and a Spinda 8. Marill can be caught / encounter at the grass 9. Rustbro Gym has an extra trainer . 10. Sableye and Mawile can now be caught . 11. Pokemon with a flame body or a magma armor ability will half the steps that you need to take for an egg to hatch. 12. Wallace was the champion. 13. Battle Tower was replaced with a Battle Frontier ( You can cheat here , the clone glitch ) 14. You can now catch both Kyogre and Groudon . And of course Rayquaza too . Note - This are not all the differences , there are many differences between Ruby / Sapphire And Emerald . 8 / 10 Graphics : The first thing you'll probably notice here is the new pokemon animations . The sea waters , the flowers , and many more . Also , the graphics here on emerald is a bit more sharper than the one on Ruby / Sapphire .The battle seen between Kyogre and Groudon was also a score for the graphics category , I really liked that scene . 7 / 10 Sounds : The sound was a bit catchy and that's about it . The in-game sounds have several tunes ( I guess ) . And I think it would be great if the pokemons really can say their names ( like in the anime one ) , I would like to here my torchic say " tor - chick - tor " or something like that . Other than that , I like to hear the legendary pokemons to ROAR or something . 9 / 10 Addictiveness : I really like this game , I repeated playing this game around 6 - 10 times before I got bored because I memorized all the things that you should do and all the hidden things , I have like a walkthrough of this game stucked in my head .I I got an extra time , I think I will play this game for another 3 rounds . This game was really addictive for me . 9 / 10 Story : The story of this game was awesome . The both teams Aqua and Magma was heavily involved to the story line of this game ,they are both trying to awaken there respective pokemons ( Team Aqua = Kyogre | Team Magma = Groudon ) . And you have a mission to stop them from doing that . Both other than that , the story was kinda like the other pokemon games , a kid who wants to become the pokemon champion with the motto " Gotta catch 'em all " . I also liked this game . 6 / 10 Depth : Just like what I said earlier , this game is very easy . And if I have to score this category with two topics ( How much time that I put to this game and what can I do in this game ) I would rate 1 / 5 for the time and 5 / 5 in the things that I can do here . Yes , you can also finish this game in an hour or two like what I did . But if you are planning to get all of the hidden items and all the pokemons , it will take you time . There are many legendary pokemons that you can catch here , some are Rayquaza , Kyogre , Regice , Registeel , Regirock , Deoxys . Jirachi , Ho-oH , Lugia , Mew , etc. 5 / 5 Difficulty : Hehehe , I said this 3 + times to you , I finished this game in an hour or two and you can too . So , I will not explain it here any more . And that's all in the difficulty category . 9 / 10 Overall : Overall , this game is great . Having many obtainable legendary pokemons , the new features are great and this is the best game to play if you want it to take place at the Hoenn Region . This is also a good game to play for pokemon newbies . I recommend you to play this . I only scored this 9 / 10 because of the Depth and the Difficulty category .
Edit : The overall score error ! I changed it from 9 / 9 to 9 / 10 . Pokemon Emerald is the third ( 3rd ) pokemon game that takes place at the Hoenn Region .
