The Pokemon Emerald Version is a fun game. It is great to add Polemon to your Diamond or Pearl Pokemon. Everything went smooth in the transaction. I would buy from this person again.

Best pokemon game out there, including Pearl/Diamond

I've played most of the Pokemon games now, including the brand new Pearl / Diamond set, and I just really found that I had to come back and review this game. None of the others compare to this one, so I have to give it 5 stars.

REASONS FOR IT BEING THE BEST:
* Sapphire and Ruby were already extremely fun, and if it wasn't for this game, I'd probably vote THEM the funnest. However, this game is a combination of both and because of that it's even better.
* I really love team Magma and team Aqua, especially because in a sense they weren't really bad guys. They thought what they were doing was helpful, and in the end they learned their mistakes. I've always liked villains with some depth to them, and these have that. Also, having rivaling enemies in the same game was a cool experience.
* The overall storyline and characters were perfect. I really enjoyed the dialogue / boss fights / overall story from this game and honestly can't think of an improvement.
* The game just keeps on going. Nothing ever really seems to end. Even after you've defeated the elite 4 there's still SO much you can do (especially considering theres a vast ocean to explore). I beat this game almost a year ago and I STILL pick it up from time to time.
* The fact that I couldn't really think of any cons to put in here says a lot about it. I mean I guess maybe the graphics could be better (after playing pearl), and having to connect with other players via cords can be annoying, but honestly those really aren't that important. The game experience itself greatly makes up for those tiny flaws.
* The original set of pokemon always has a place in my heart, but I felt that the new ones they came up with for this one were a great addition and a lot better then the others.
* The mechanics of the game were pretty much just like all the other ones, and since most people have played the old versions of Pokemon, this should be very easy to figure out.
* The music was very catchy and never got monotonous.

All in all, if I were to suggest a Pokemon game to anyone, it would be this one. Pearl might have this one beat graphics wise, but Emerald beats it in almost every other way. So this game gets 5 stars from me.

It will really satisfy your kid

My son is a big fan of Pokemon and he plays Pokemon on every Nintendo GBA, DSL, Cube, etc. On every platform, the game he likes most is Pokemon definitely. I bought this Emerald after he finished Ruby (or Sapphire I forgot) and got a guide book from Borders. He really like it. Parents may wonder what's the fun in it, but don't need to think about that. You kid really want it, they have differnt mind than grownups.

Another Pokemon Review by me..

Pokemon Emerald another additon to the Pokemon franchise. This game is quite similar to Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Pokemon are the same but there are a few new add ins like the Battle Tower I belive. Personally I was unable to play this game through yet due to I barely made it through Ruby. If you have played neither Ruby nor Sapphire I recommend you buy this game because it contains bits of Ruby and Sapphire and more.

Great Game! My son likes it a lot.

This game is a lot of fun, and takes a long time to complete. The place that is unlocked after you beat the elite four is an interesting feature, and is hard to conquer. Being an owner of some of the previous versions, however, I must say that I was a bit disappointed when I found that you cannot trade between the older versions (red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, or crystal). All and all, if you have not ventured into the world of Sapphire and Ruby yet (as I have not), you will be pleasantly surprised. The graphics are great and there are plenty of challenging secrets to unlock. The new landscape/towns also make it worthwhile for any Pokemon oldie to try out, as getting around is more of a challenge, since you don't have any idea where you're going, it sort of takes you back to your first game. It's good, give it a try!

watch out for used games

Overall the game is fun and worth it if you enjoy the Pokemon franchise. However be careful about buying a used version. Mine, and I found out many other people had this problem, told me the saved file was erased due to damage or corruption after I beat the Elite Four and went through the credits. So if you don't want to take the risk of that happening because somebody sells you a bootleg version of the game, consider buying it new.

eh

not as good as the fire and leaf green versions, you start off with few to catch and the pokenav is brutal to get people to start a battle. if fun to check out new places but I just wish they followed the formula of the other 2

Totally Awesome!

I'm a 13 year old girl and I have been a Pokemon fan for as long as I can remember. I loved my Gold version dearly, and I own Yellow and Leaf Green too, but when I heard about Sapphire I just had to get it! Sapphire was amazing (all the new Pokemon!), and then Emerald came out and I wanted to find out about the new Battle Frontier. I just got this game last September for my birthday and I'm working on beating the Elite Four. I have to train an electric type Pokemon to beat the champion in the Elite Four because it's a different person and he has water Pokemon in this game and I started with a Torchic. I haven't gotten to the Battle Frontier yet but I'm sure it will be cool. The new Battle Tents were interesting, they moved all the Pokemon Contests to Lilycove and put Battle Tents where they used to be. You can do different types of battles like Battle Swap and more at the different tents.

Anyway, some other neat things I liked were that the Pokemon were animated (like in Crystal, I don't own that game but I rented it). Now I'm not used to playing my Sapphire because they don't move! I also like how the girl character has a green bandana. I don't know why I do, I guess it's just different.

If you already have Ruby or Sapphire, or if you don't have either, I reccommend this game for anyone!

The greatest single player Pokemon game made.

After PKMN Ruby my faith in the franchise was revitalized due to the games heavy level of fun and replay and moreover, fixing the vast mistakes PKMN G/S/C made and went back to what made Pokemon so great. And well, despite the hype around FR/LG Hoenn still proved to be the most creative of the four regions.

While R/S had a lot after main game while Emerald... There's just so much for the single player to do!

I mean, 1. the story was a huge improvement over R/S by having both teams (Magma and Aqua) to combat, having two of the coolest box art legendaries duke it out as per their rivalry alluded in the previous games.

This leads to: 2. Giving Rayquaza an importance (another cool legendary) to the game outside being some post-game 'mon to catch.

3. Upgraded difficulty. May not say much for some, but if you started from scratch and chose to lack a certain team balance like I did, the Pokemon change-ups and slightly smarter AI would really throw you off and give you a bit more of a fight.

4. Most important reason of all: VERY HIGH REPLAY VALUE. And compared to previous gens, R/S already beat them out from the start. But Emerald throwing in Gym Leader rematches (how long have we been begging for that), giving Berries more purpose, upgrading Breeding, giving us the ability to explore extra areas so we DON'T HAVE TO trade to get both fossils and certain Pokes AND Battle Frontier (Battle Factory, I'll finish you yet!) alongside some other fun side things, Emerald has got to be the most rewarding (and battle centric) single player game within the Pokemon main games.

Love that game and I'm still playing it. If you're shaky by D/Ps lack of single player goods due to its heavy emphasis on Wifi/horrid online community or just wanna play alone (and it has to be a game from the Pokemon main series) then Emerald is your bet!
