Pokemon Emerald

[JimSteel]

Hey Guys

Just curious if anybody has the new Pokemon Emerald Game for Gameboy? If so email me and we can talk about it

I have had the game for two weeks and have caught 170 pokemon and I know alot of stuff that can help you and I am also looking for help as well

Not buying it. Already played Sapphire, and the new stuff just isn't worth it.

I have, however, openly debated buying Diamond/Pearl when they ship eventually. Because I know that a couple of years later they'll have a third, extras-added version (although i guess "ElectricYellow" or "WaterBlue" would have to come out first, since that's generally the pattern).

I probably will, but it still irks me.

Emerald is alot better then Saphire and Ruby and worth the money

You can even catch the following pokemon at some point in the game

Hoot Hoot/Noctowl
Teddy Ursa/Ursa Ring
Miltank
Gligar
Mareep/Flaffy/Ampharos
Pineco/Fortress
Houndour/Houndoom
Snubbull/Granbull
Ditto
Aipom
Stantler
Smeargle
Sudowoodo
Wooper/Quagsire
Sun Kern/Sunflora
Ledyba/Ledian
Spinarak/Ariados
Shuckle
Remoraid/Octillery

And you can catch all three Kyogre,Groudon+The Dragon but they are not easy

...if you haven't already bought Ruby/Sapphire, yes. Well worth it. If you've been a loyal pokémaniac and snapped up the last three (pre-Emerald) releases, not so much.

I already have all of those (or could by breeding) thanks to Colosseum (and LeafGreen in the case of Ditto), PLUS I have access to Chikorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil; I also own Raikou, Suicune, and Entei, at the same time, without needing to trade or restart twice. Heck, I didn't even need to hunt them down.

In fact, if it wasn't so maddengly difficult to catch a Feebas (although apparently the wife managed it, and may have females...), I'd nearly have a full set. I can get Ho-Oh from Colosseum too if I devote the time to purifying my Shadow beasties. Other than the special-rares (Mew, Celebi, Deoxys -- I have a Jirachi, since that only required the Colosseum demo disc), the only one I don't think I could get my hands on now is Lugia. EDIT: And the Bulbasaur tree, since we didn't bother grabbing the third starter last time.

For me, the only additions that Emerald has to offer are the Battle Frontier and wireless compatibility. And my expierence with LeafGreen Wireless (sssssssssooooooooo sllllllllllllloooooooooooow...) hasn't encouraged me.
