pokemon has stooped to an all-time low. Terrible battle options, a plain RIDICOLOUS storyline, and just not enough game.

waste of time

What is the point of this game? it's almost exactly like ruby and saphire. It has a dumb battle frontier which is as different as my left foot from the ruby/saphire's battle tower. somehow these games are popular. Each one is like a remake of the previous series of poke'mon. I think that the new extras in this game are borderline pointless. the first pokemon blue and red were fun but these aren't

i think that pokemon emerald is an exellent game because you get to catch pokemon , breed them,level up pokemon and even envolve them to different evolutions.it is a cool adventure game that brings mysteires to solve like(how to get mew,ho-ho,lugia.etc)it also has new islands,better grafics.for me it is a exellent game to play.pokemon emerald even has pre-evolution and evlution pokemon that you do not get on leafgreen and firered they are (pre-evolution of snorlax,evolution of sneasel,pre-evolution of sudowoodo these are all i know for now.it for me is the best pokemon game

This game is fun in Little Root ( where you start) Then after you beat the 6th gym leader you get stuck! But if you really like pokemon you will know how to get past. The older pokemon games are much better! If you are going to buy one get Ruby or Fire Red.

Decent rpg for the GBA or DS

While i had plenty of fun collecting most of the Pokemon in this game, and playing it thoroughly, it was nothing all that 'special' in the end.

Sure the game is quite long, lasting a good 30 hours, it gets a bit tedious in places. Most of the caves look similiar and most of the grassy fields look similiar too. Plus it doesnt help when the similiar looking areas have similiar names like rout 110 and 111...

Also, some things were not expanded like they could have been. Things like rock smash, flash, and the acro bike, were barely used in the game while things like surf and the mach bike are used plenty. Some skills get a few uses while others get millions and it feels unbalanced in places.

Also, the games difficulty is just too easy. I beat 90% of the game with just ONE pokemon. Since i raised only one pokemon he gained all the experience and rose in levels much too easily. It was weird taking out trainers with 6 pokemon with just my solo Swampert.

Still, the game is lots of fun with its addicting 'catch em all' gameplay and will appeal to tons of gamers, especially younger ones. However, if you want to raise and 'catch em all' than be prepared to spend a few hundred hours on this game...

ADDICTED TO THIS GAME. IT'S THAT GOOD!

I'm a Pokemon noob, never played, never even considered it so my friends helped me through most of it, but I did get through the better half of it on my own.

The game was a pretty standard RPG. You start off saving Prof. Birch from some wild Pokemon, get to pick either, Torchic, Treecko or Mudkip, same old same old I'm told. You get to train your Pokemon, level up, beat people, Gym leaders, the Elite Four, catch legendary Pokemon, there's also a battle frontier. You have a secret base, your "home away from home" to decorate with posters, ornaments and doll. You can also breed, (tip: Catch a Ditto and breed like hell with it!!), trade, battle and all that with other GBA, DS, SPs and all. You can challenge Gym Leaders twice, three times even, this gives a LOAD of money, especially if you had the amulet coin. But the best part of the game are the Pokemon themselves and the idea of "catch 'em all" which is addictive since it takes quite a bit to actually "catch 'em all". There are over 400 of them.

The graphics are decent. Sometimes the battles take too long, for example, it repeats all status problems of each Pokemon, be it poisoned, burned or pelted by hail. The speech are kind of strange but okay. The other thing that is quite is annoying is the wild Pokemon, but they can be taken care of by repel. Trainers are also rather annoying the first time around where they jump out at you, one at a time or two at a time to challenge you. You can take their name down in the PokeNav and challenge again for Exp. points. However, this is tedious, thus the best way to level up is to give Exp. share to a Pokemon and beat the Elite four. The battle system seem very efficient.

The major thing I didn't expect from Pokemon was a really good storyline. There are two Teams in the Hoenn Region, Magma and Aqua looking for the legendary Pokemons. You battle them but they unleash the legendary Pokemons anyways creating odd weather patterns. You have to stop them and save the world. Along the way, beat Gym Leaders, send mail, check out abandoned ships and compete in Contest and win Ribbons.

In the end (not the end of the game), I think that the time I devoted to playing this game was worth it. Just some minor flaws, nothing big. Buy it, play it and enjoy it.
