" The best Pokemon game for its era, easily a must own Pokemon game". Pokemon Emerald is easily on of the best and memorable Pokemon games there is. Pokemon Emerald takes Pokemon to all new heights challenge and story wise. In Pokemon Emerald there are all new Pokemon team line ups from the Hoenn regions gyms and there is a all new Pokemon champion introduced in this game. Along with the challenges of the 8 gyms, Pokemon contests and the elite four there is a all new challenge after you beat the elite four called the Battle frontier.The game takes place in the all new Hoenn region(3rd generation) and un like Sapphire and Ruby there are alot more double battles in a very big difference in difficulty which you can tell early on in the game.

Graphics: 10

"What can one expect out of the graphics in Pokemon Emerald?" Well the graphics are excellent and in my opinion set the standards for Pokemon games on the GBA. The animation seen in Pokemon Emerald are best so far I've seen in the Pokemon franchise. You can see your reflection in the water and lakes in perfect pixel quality, the water moves back and forth as your out in the ocean. The Pokemon appearances are simply breath taking and look like exactly what they are suppose to be and are in full color. My only complaints is the angle the camera is on your Pokemon makes it hard for the gamer to see/get a full picture of what your Pokemon looks like. In addition the buildings are beautiful in design with perfect description of objects in side them. The grass in the game is excellent in design, there are two types of grass, tall grass with normally higher skilled Pokemon and lower lighter colored grass with weaker Pokemon, you can easily tell the difference between the two the way the pixel resolution is.

Sound: 10

"So what's the sound like in Pokemon Emerald?" The sound in Pokemon Emerald is perfect in quality and pitch. The soundtrack in Pokemon Emerald alternates throughout the game when you pass from town to town route to route and even when your out on the water using surf.The Pokemon in Pokemon Emerald each have there own distinct battle cries and their cries can be heard easily in perfect quality. Although the music is fine quality wise when your out in fields training your Pokemon to there peak, it could get annoying constantly listening to the same music track over and over.The Pokemon in Pokemon Emerald each have there own distinct battle

Addictiveness: 8

" How addicted were you to playing Pokemon Emerald?" Pokemon Emerald is very addicting to play for a number of reasons. I was addicted to playing Pokemon Emerald because the games challenges, the Pokemon that appear and its story. I was addicted to the games challenges because of the fact that unlike most Pokemon games, this one isn't a cake walk that you could breeze through over the course of a day, there are a significant amount of double battles contests to keep you busy. I was addicted to the game because of the Pokemon that appear because Pokemon from the previous games that take place in the Hoenn region all appear in this game and also some rare Pokemon from the Johto region can be found in the back of the safari zone. Also what played a huge role in my addiction to this game was the story. the story had me dieing to find out how it ends. I was addicted to the game because of the Pokemon that appear because

Story: 9

"So how does the story go in Pokemon Emerald?" The story goes like this, Your a young boy or girl who has just moved into the little town of Littleroot and your Mom tells you to go visit your new neighbors house to meet them. Upon going to your neighbors house, you meet May the Pokemon Professors daughter. Next you leave the house and as you walk across the street back to your house you and a younger child hear cries of help made out by the Pokemon Professor know as Professor Birch he is being attacked by a wild zigzagoon. You being the strong headed child you are dive right in to save him and the Pokemon professor lends you a Pokemon to counter the wild zigzagoon. In Pokemon Emerald you will face both evil sinister organizations seen in both Sapphire and Ruby, Team Magma and Team Aqua. There is also a new champion in Pokemon Emerald and a new 8th gym leader. There is a all new feature seen in the Pokemon franchise, Pokemon contests and the Battle frontier. In Pokemon contests you enter your Pokemon in the categories according to there move style either cool,tough,smart, cute or beauty. And with the battle frontier there are these 7 silver symbols that you earn by beating frontier brains at their specific factories.Pokemon Emerald you will face both evil sinister organizations seen in

"Just how much stuff is there to do in Pokemon Emerald?" In Pokemon Emerald there is plenty of things to do, you can battle all 8 gyms, take on all the Pokemon contest and obtain all the ribbons from each level of difficulty, and you can go on Pokemon catching sprees in the Pokemon safari zone and you can also travel to the battle frontier and obtain all 7 silver symbols and also you can hunt down all three legendary Pokemon the Regi's. Each Pokemon contest you enter and win you get a ribbon and it unlocks the next level of difficulty in the contests the contests are spread out pretty well across your journey. With the 7 silver symbols there are 7 battle facilities at the battle frontier and each facility focus on a unique style of batting but there's a catch you can't just go into the facility and beat it once and the facilities leader will come out, you have to beat a a certain number of times straight for the leader to come out and if you lose to the leader you have to start that facilities challenge all over again.

Difficulty: 7

"How hard is Pokemon Emerald to beat?" Pokemon Emerald's difficulty is not to be taken lightly. In this game if you don't train your Pokemon you will lose miserably. The games A.I. is significantly harder to beat and is less predictable then what was seen in previous installments in the Pokemon franchise. All the gyms had a update in there Pokemon team s and there Pokemons level and there over all strategy to beat you. With the gym leaders there Pokemon teams have been changed from what they originally were and it seems the Pokemon in the teams have better stats and a lot stronger defensive.All the gyms had a update in there Pokemon team s and there Pokemons

Over Pokemon Emerald is easily one of the best Pokemon games in the franchise and one of the most difficulty. The story will entertain you and push your self as a trainer to the best of you abilities. The game has excellent graphics and perfect sound in both pitch. The addictiveness of the game was truly captivating of your attention and will have you playing hours upon end and it has a estimated play time until you beat it at anywhere from 1-2 weeks if you take your time to truly appreciate everything the game has to offer. The story is by far the biggest in the Pokemon franchise for Game Boy Advanced games and the game also has mass appeal for its features.The game has excellent graphics and perfect sound in both pitch.
