What our customer's say!

"Great game, but not as great as Diamond", I bought this game a bit after buying Pokemon Diamond and played them both alternately. sadly, the great game play of Diamond kind of ruined Emerald for me. it's so easy to compare the two and find faults w/ Emerald. overall, it's a great game and I like the fact that you can re-challenge the gym leaders (though you can't re-challenge the trainers leading up to the gym leader), and I like the battle frontier. I despise the Pokenav, especially the fact that having certain Pokemon on your team will cause you to get more inane calls more often. it pales in comparison to the Vs. Seeker of Diamond. I also wish they had the day/night set up Diamond has (I know, I know, I'll try not to compare the games so much!).

the biggest pro of this game, and the main reason why I'd encourage fans to buy it, is for the ability to migrate Pokemon onto your Diamond or Pearl game so easily. this will seriously help you, not only complete your pokedex in D/P but also help you snag and/or breed some different pokemon (for example, Ditto is quite common in a certain area in Emerald, and you can get an Eevee in Diamond, so by migrating a Ditto, you can breed for the different evolved forms of Eevee). another added pro to this is that you can catch both legendary pokemon from Ruby and Sapphire, along w/ a third legendary. by the way, you can also migrate items, which is useful since you can create multiple shell bells in Emerald and migrate them to the new game, along w/ evolution stones, battle items, and different flutes

if you don't have Ruby or Sapphire (or even if you do but are willing to splurge) and you have Diamond or Pearl, Emerald is a must have game, not only for good game play, but also for the ability to truly catch 'em all!

"Classic Pokemon play on the Gba...well worth it.", Well, I've played every version of Pokemon on a portable game system there is to play, from the humble beginnings to their latest incarnation on the DS. This one being a "third" Pokemon game (Ruby and Saphire are the first two), it's a worthy addition for a Pokemon fan to own. The graphics are crisp and clear, plus the in-game animation is top notch for a Gba game. If you haven't played either Ruby or Saphire, this would be a good bet. I was taken by surprise when there was a new starter set to choose from. Even though the basic types are the same, the different Pokemon had me happily enjoying Pokemon all over again. I can't say this would be worth getting if you already own either Ruby or Saphire, but Pokemon fanatics might still want to pick it up as part of their collection. Note: For this review, I did not play or own Ruby or Saphire.

I recommend playing this game on the DS versus the Gba, as the screen brightness of the DS will make it that much more enjoyable, unless you own the newest Gba with the brighter screen.

Pros:

Graphics are crisp and clear, animation is excellent
Sounds are good, even from the Gba speaker
Many different types of Pocket Monsters to choose for your team

Cons:

No day/night cycle!
Same old Pokemon story if you already own Ruby or Saphire
A little dated now with the release of Pearl and Diamond

Bottom Line:

Worth getting for any Pokemon fan or if you are new to the series. This would be a good game to get. Despite it's age, Emerald doesn't fail to deliver the Pokemon. Still gotta catch 'em all!

"A Very Good Game", The five-star rating I gave should be enough to tell just how good this game is.

"BUYER BEWARE!!", I purchased the Game Boy Advance Pokemon Sapphire, Emerald & Ruby for my son's birthday. He wanted these games so he could migrate the Pokemon to his DS Pokemon Diamond game, but these games would not allow him to migrate the Pokemon. Every time he tried to migrate the Pokemon to his Diamond game, it would delete his file and he would have to start all over again. I know that his DS and his Pokemon Diamond game are not defective because his cousin has the Game Boy Advance Pokemon Emerald game and he doesn't have any trouble migrating Pokemon from his cousin's game. He found the disfunctional games to be rather frustrating. I returned all 3 games by USPS with signature confirmation. Y Yang signed for the package a week ago and I still have not received a refund for the games.

"Ahhhh, the old days!", 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.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Amazing!", This version of Pokemon is the fun of the older versions combined with new features that carry on to the more recent versions. If your looking for a Pokemon game that is interesting, has solid game play, and of course fun, this game is a must buy!

"A good game", Ive always liked this series and this adds so much more to the game. Easy game play, easy controls and great story line. BUY IT


"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!

"Pokemon Emerald", This game is a very fun game to play and you also be able to catch some pokemon the was not in the other pokemon games. You will never know when the story will change from the pokemon ruby story line. You will find different buildings in the contest tents places up to lilycove city. There is alot more things to find that is what makes this game fun to play. It is a little harder in some areas in the game but it is an easy game to figure out. So if you buy this game you will more than likely love it. I know I loved the game.

"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.
