Pokemon Emerald is an extension of Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire -- you'll travel to an all-new region and explore as you face off against Team Aqua and Team Magma.An aspiring Pokemon trainer moves to tiny Littleroot Town and discovers all-new Pokemon to train and compete with -- now he's on the road to being a great trainer!
Are you looking for a new Pokemon challenge? With a focus on continuing the story, Pokemon Emerald brings together elements and characters from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Emerald is the third adventure to take place in the Hoenn region, and it features all new areas and exciting new plot twists.

In Pokemon Emerald, your character is an aspiring Pokemon Trainer and new inhabitant of Littleroot Town. You'll enter the neighborhood amid a truckload of boxes, eager to explore your new environment. Eventually, you'll stumble upon a challenge that forces you to select from three Pokemon -- Torchic, Mudkip or Treecko. Once you decide, you can begin your quest to become the world's greatest Pokemon Trainer.

If you've played the Ruby or Sapphire installments, you'll recognize many of the locations in Emerald. Although familiar, quite a lot has changed in Emerald. The most exciting addition is Battle Frontier. No matter how well you think you know Hoenn, you will always discover something entirely new. Plus, you may even encounter a new Gym Leader in your journeys.

You are up against stiff competition in Emerald. Team Magma and Team Aqua once again look to disrupt the peaceful civility of Hoenn. Unlike Ruby and Sapphire, both gangs have set up camp in this adventure. That means you'll be facing double-the-evil, double-the-clever, scheming plans. To really spice things up, Emerald has added sightings of the rare Pokemon Rayquaza. The plot thickens!

The Battle Frontier of Pokemon Emerald brings together seven battle facilities. Each area provides a unique battle experience. Special Trainers called Frontier Brains head each facility and they will test every aspect of your combat skills. Your victories will be memorialized in the form of Frontier Symbols, and you must defeat the Frontier Brain at each location several times in order to earn your awards.

With new locations like Battle Dome, Battle Arena, Battle Factory, and Battle Pike, Pokemon Emerald will throw you awesome new twists and challenges. The new adventure in Hoenn is full of adventure and has plenty of opportunities to hone your battle skills. Just keep your composure, explore the island, and you can become the world's greatest Pokemon Trainer.

Summary: Ahhhh, the old days!
Comment: When I was little and this game was a new game, this was the first game I got for my Game Boy Advance SP. I don't know my exact age, but I'm eleven years old now. I loved it!! Back then I was a Pokemon fanatic, and I'm getting into the T.V. show again. This game really makes you want to play it. It was very challenging for me back then, but it's probably easier for me now. You have to chose from a Mudkip (water type), a Torchic (fire type),or a Treeko (grass type) to be your starter Pokemon. The best choice is Mudkip, because the type of Pokemon the first gym leader you battle is weak against fire types. The graphics are simple, but since when does the graphics decide how good the game is? I recomend this game to all ages.

Summary: Could Be Improved
Comment: I would want to know which Pokemon to start out with because I might not have the best ones for the game. I would also want to know if I could capture good Pokemons or else I would not want the game. The way the characters look could be better. They could be bigger. I would also like to be able to choose how to make my character.

Summary: Another Generation, Another Success
Comment: Why is it that I don't mind this game being very similar to Gold/Silver Generation and Red/Blue Generation?

The answer is that tradition carries on. This game has everything (and more) that the other games had. A journey, more pokemon in the pokedex, A rival that will always seem better than you until you own them the first time, and then the legendaries. I also like the introductory towards berries. Berries are just another way of expanding your backpack, which is why I was glad they introduced blocking, or "categorizing" the backpack so farther in the journey, you won't have to remove a single thing every time you find something on the floor that says you "can't carry it"

Anyways, this game is the same as all the other great ones plus more. I recommend this game. I love it, 5 out of 5.
