THE GOOD: Well, this game came out 2 years after Ruby and Sapphire and let me tell you, it helped. The game improved itself allot, I will list a few things that I found amazing with this game. -Pokemon moved when you saw them (like in pokemon crystal) -Things to do after you beat elite 4 -You can catch Kyogre and Groudon -Sprites look better -Girl/Boy feature
THE BAD: Meh, nothing to really put here. Only a couple of things. -Music sometimes is annoying -Legendaries can be hard to find
SUMMARY: Pokemon Emerald is the 3rd generation of Pokemon. You don't need to worry if this is your first Pokemon game as you do not need any prior knowledge for the games. It would be nice though, as there are over 350 Pokemon to collect and there are easily over 200 in this game. Through this review, you will learn how to use your pokemon and how to help it. There will be a few sections where I will rate them out of 10,...
THE GOOD: - Good Graphics - Extra Pokemon unobtainable in Ruby and Sapphire - The Battle Frontier - Lots to do during and after beating the game - Re-battling gyms - Link Battles, Trading and Record Mixing - A good storyline
THE BAD: - To complete the pokedex trading is needed - Not to much extra from Ruby and Sapphire
SUMMARY: Emerald was released not long after Ruby and Sapphire, improving many of the things they were lacking, and continuing the tradition of high quality Pokemon games.
Gameplay: The Gameplay in Emerald is similar to that of all the other Pokemon games. You walk/run/ride around the region collecting Pokemon and beating contests, gyms and eventually the Elite 4. The battles have been improved with new moves in this generation as well as more Pokemon then ever to use. The contests which came in with Ruby and Sapphire are still there and are a few feature when you are...
THE GOOD: - Great graphics for GBA - You can choose between Latias or Latios - Easy to follow storyline - Wireless battles and trades - Able to re-battle gyms - Many Legendaries available
THE BAD: - Having to trade to obtain all Pokemon - Too similar to Ruby/Sapphire - Battle Frontier too challenging
SUMMARY: I think this game is worth buying. I have had no doubts about it what-so-ever. If you've played Pokemon from the very beginning, then this must end up in your collection. Even if you're a big fan of the TV show, this is a good place to start.
It's obviously, very similar to Ruby and Sapphire but with many extras. You can visit the Battle Frontier for a real challenge. You can also re-battle gym leaders if you think you can handle another round, which is a very nice extra. Rebattling gym leaders is perfect for training your Pokemon, as well as defeating the Pokemon League multiple times with...
THE GOOD: Pokemon Animations, choose which Lati to find.
THE BAD: You must trade to obtain every Pokemon.
SUMMARY: Through the 10 or so proper Pokémon games that Nintendo has released for the Game Boy, then the Game Boy Color, and now the Game Boy Advance, the crux of the series has remained unshakable. A preteen hero goes out into the world, complete with parental blessings, to become the world's number one trainer of a bizarre, varied, and mysterious race of creatures called Pokémon. Along the way, our hero has some funky adventures. Essentially a singular director's cut version of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Emerald will feel especially familiar, and as such, it will likely hold greater appeal to the uninitiated or those who have been on Pokémon hiatus.
Collecting and fighting: These are the things a Pokémon game is made of.
After starting off as either a young girl or boy recently transplanted to a...
THE GOOD: - Like the title suggested, it is worthy of being a true Pokemon game! - The graphics are nice for a GBA - There is a story line; easily follow able - Lots of side-quests to do - Ability to record all 386 Pokemon - Able to catch Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza - Battle Animations - Battle Frontier - Ability to re-battle gyms - Great wireless multiplayer with 2 vs. 2 battles or even event matches - Extra game modes
THE BAD: - It isn't always directly clear where to go - Sometimes you must walk miles, miles and even more miles before reaching the next city, and crossing all those pokemon can get annoying - Pretty similar to Ruby/Sappshire in gameplay and storyline.
SUMMARY: Overall, it is a game worthy of buying. The game is challenging, yet easy to master, because the purpose of the game is to get to the next city, level up your pokemon, and become a Pokemon champion.
THE GOOD: -Improved Storyline -Ability to record all 386 Pokemon -Able to catch Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza -Battle Animations -Battle Frontier
THE BAD: -Too similar to Ruby/Sapphire
SUMMARY: This is the best portable Pokemon game yet. It's a little different than Ruby/Sapphire, but the storyline takes a turn after about halfway through the game. The game-play is still addicting, and one of the best things brought back from the grave is that the Pokemon animations before battle, like from Crystal, are in Emerald. Plus the newest addition to the game, the Battle Frontier, vastly improves the already towering Replay Value of the game. You'll be able to battle through 7 different challenges, but they're not the same as any regular Pokemon battles, these battles will be a test of skill, as all the Pokemon you face will have similar levels to yours, meaning that only your skill with Pokemon will matter. The game-play in the game is...
The New Elite Four and Gym Leader. There is a Little Change, only.
You get both Groudon and Kyorge.
THE BAD:
There's Pokemon I've been wanting to Have but it's not in Emerald:
Zangoose
Surskit
Masquerain
Meditite
Medicham
Lunatone
Roselia
SUMMARY: Comments:
My comment is that this Game is pretty fun. It has a lot of things that Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire doesn't.
Faq:
There's a whole new Place where you can Visit that you can't visit in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. there's also the whole New Battle Frontier. Eight Battle Frontier Challenge, Eight Battle Frontier Brains, and Eight Whole New ways of...
THE GOOD: - 386 pokemon - Longer gameplay/storyline - okay graphics - More fun than the others - Better Pokemon contests - You can capture both Kyogre and Groundon - Battle in gyms again and again
THE BAD: Boring and same-ish gameplay as Ruby and Sapphire. You can basically tell everything thats going to happen.. almost.
SUMMARY: This is yet, another fantastic pokemon game, although there are always the traditional errors with the third game out of the "pokemon colors". Although really similar to the last two pokemon games, it still is different. You have the ability to go back into gyms and fight the gym leader again if you want to, although that doesnt really prove to be much more fun or anything.
Apart from that, its different from the original game because of the fact that you can even battle trainers, getting battle points, and then trade them for stat-uppers. Thats something no one ever thought that would be in...
THE GOOD: + Perfect middleman between R/S and FR/LG... interacts with both quite nicely + Both Berry Crush and Berry Blender + Contests with fewer than 4 + Both legendaries (K/G) + Battle Frontier + Two-Trainer Double Battles + Rebattle Gyms
THE BAD: - Still mostly the same as R/S - Less interaction with Box - Only uses 1 DS screen - Both Teams ? Why does that loser that follows you everywhere looks so stupid?
SUMMARY: The third entry in the Hoenn saga, Emerald, does add many new features to the series, but is seen by some as a time-killer until Diamond and Pearl are released for the DS. No matter which way you look at it, this game is worth your time. One important change from Pokémon games past is that, when you entered the LOS of two Trainers at once, one would battle you, and then the other one would. But that's all changed. Now, when two Trainers see you at once, one comes up and...
We've heard that phrase many times before. In the original blue and yellow, and even now, up to the Emerald version, Pokemon has advanced through the years, still maintaining it's title as the #1 franchise for the Gameboy, and Gameboy Advance. Enough about that, let's get down to the basics.
The Good:
The storyline is basically the same, like it's previous parents, Ruby and Sapphire; Pokemon revolves around a young child, off to become a Pokemon Master, nothing too surprising there. Your starting Pokemon, like in Ruby and Sapphire, are Treecko, the grass type, Mudkip, the water type, and Torchic, the fire type pokemon. Emerald is very much similar to Yellow, and Crystal because it's precedes had an "expansion."
Although its storyline is somewhat the same, there are also a few add-ons also. One example is the fact that the sprites are actually animated, which is a plus. I'd reckon the Crystal fans would be thrilled. The new clothes...
