Pokemon Emerald Version
POKEMON: Emerald Version Pokemon Emerald is storming onto Game Boy Advance with a vengeance. The third adventure to take place in the Hoenn region, Pokemon Emerald features all-new areas and exciting new plot twists. The story begins when your character, a young aspiring Pokemon Trainer, moves to Littleroot Town. Crammed amid a truckload of boxes, our hero enters the foreign neighborhood eager to explore. Shortly into your journey a challenge arises and you must choose from three Pokemon -- Torchic, Mudkip or Treecko -- and begin a quest to become the world's best Pokemon Trainer. Get the official Pokemon: Emerald Version Official Game Guide. Veterans of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire will recognize a lot of the locations in Pokemon Emerald, but many elements within the game have changed, the most exciting of which is the addition of the Battle Frontier. The locations and frequency of Pokemon are different, and you may even encounter a new Gym Leader in your journeys. Team Magma and Team Aqua once again look to disrupt the civility of peaceful Hoenn. In Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire, the version you played determined which team would appear. It also determined whether you would encounter Groudon or Kyogre. In Pokemon Emerald, both gangs have set up camp in Hoenn. That means twice the evil, twice the scheming plans, and twice the number of legendary Pokemon up for grabs. Add sightings of the rare Pokemon Rayquaza to the mix, and the plot gets even thicker. The ultimate arena in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire was the Battle Tower, a location only Pokemon League Champions could access. Since then, construction has been fast and furious in the area. The entire island has been turned into Battle Frontier, a hotbed of Pokemon competition. The highlights of Battle Frontier are the seven battle facilities. Built specifically with its master Trainer in mind, each area provides a unique combat experience. Each facility is headed by a Frontier Brain -- a powerful Tra

Pokemon Emerald Version - Was Cracked (2010-02-24) : 1/5
This game was cracked and was useless. We threw it away and purchased new. Since it was cracked you could not play the full game. I would never again purchase from this buyer.
Emerald fun (2010-02-22) : 5/5
Fun to play but unfortunately the time sensitive events do not occur - berry growth, lottery corner, berry master and his wife, etc. Still it is fun to play and enjoy trying to battle all the trainers and gym leaders within the game.
Awesome game, but DON'T BUY THIS GAME USED!!! (2010-02-11) : 5/5
I tried to purchase this game used from 3 different Amazon Marketplace sellers (2 were actually 1 seller using aliases), and all 3 copies I received were bootleg versions of the game. I've given up on trying to find a used, REAL version of this game. If you have to buy it, definitely try to find a new copy!
I have a real version of the game I bought new in the store years ago, so I knew something was up when the first copy arrived. It didn't have a shiny sticker like my real copy, and when I booted the game up, it said "The save file will be loaded. The game can be played." I found from a little internet digging that these are two sure-fire ways of telling your game is a bootleg.
I even sent the third seller a note after getting 2 fake copies, asking him to check the following things which can indicate the game is not the real thing (but that didn't stop them from sending me a bootleg copy, anyway!):
First, the cartridge itself should be green. If it isn't green it's fake. If the game says "The save file will be loaded. The game can be played" when you start, the game is usually fake. To clarify, check the Emerald sticker: Is it shiny/metallic? If not, it's a fake. Also are there small numbers stamped on the sticker? If not, fake. Check the back of the cartridge, does it say 004? Definitely fake. It should say 002. Then final test, check inside the cartridge where the gold thingies start, does it read Nintendo in gold letters? If not, it is fake.
This is an excellent game, but if you get duped into buying a bootleg version, the game will corrupt itself and stop saving and/or delete your save data towards the end of the game. Also, you can't use Pal Park to import Pokemon from a bootleg GBA game into your DS versions.
If you have to get a used version of this game, I recommend contacting the seller first and asking them to verify all of the above indicators...hopefully you'll have better luck than me. Buyer Beware!
Pokémon Emerald Purchase (2010-01-30) : 5/5
I'm very satisfied with this purchase, it arrived a lot earlier than expected and it didn't show any problems, the seller was quick to answer any issue that came by.
Game broken (2009-12-11) : 1/5
I ordered the game from Amazon and it was used (they no longer make gameboy games) and it was a birthday present. She used the game once and it was broken. The game was cracked and it said it was in good condition when I ordered it. There was not a return address on the mailing envelope, so I have a broken gameboy game. Went to gamestop and bought her the game for 40.00
