Brilliant! - By: Master Eg Mitchell, 24 Jan 2008 
When this game came out i didn't think it would be any different to the previous version, Ruby & Sapphire, but i soon found that it was a serious improvement on them & that the new features, like a battle tower, complete what was already a great game & this is why i would recommend it to anyone. Buy it now!
This game is the best ever!!! - By: Ryan, 26 Jul 2007 I do truly believ that this is the best pokemon game so far.
I dont no why, i have played the others but this is my favourite!!!
None of them give me as much enjoyment & have made me search information on the pokemonin the game before but this has!
I love this game!
Good Buy!
Sounds like R.P. McMurphy bought a fake... - By: J. Harding, 20 Jun 2007 Pokemon Emerald ROCKS! It's got pretty much everything that a Pokemon game should have...
I'm not here to write a review though, but to say that if you buy this game & the clock does not work (ie, you set it, wait 5 minutes & check to see if it's keeping time), then it is very probably a fake! I have two fake copies of this game- a grey cartridge fake from Korea, & a greeen cartridge one that came (via ebay)from Manchester today (oddly, with a GENUINE copy of Sapphire), which I'min the process of trying to return to the seller(they are VERY common on ebay, & some of the ads for used ones on Amazon look like people are trying to sell fakes- there are a LOT about-Pokemon is worth BILLIONS of $!) The cartridge should have its own battery powered clock in, so either the battery needs replacing, or there's no clock on the cartridge because it's stolen code on a flash cart(or similar). If the cartridge isn't transparent dark green then it's a fake- if the cartridge is green but the clock doesn't work, & the Nintendo seal on the label isn't metallic gold, & if the writing on the seal is blurry, not sharp, & the label is not on the cartridge straight, then it's a fake- usually these will be masquerading as the USA version (oval Nintendo Seal, code AGB-BPEE-USA).
If someone advertising a used one mentions the box will be sent flat packed, then it's come straight from the printers. Genuine Nintendo games have card insertsin the box to hold the cartridge, & LOTS of documentation- the Trainers guide should be a thick booklet, not just 6 or 8 pages. People selling used games DO lose instructions, yes, but the box should then at least have an insert...
For anyone playing Pokemon Diamond and/or Pearl on the DS, if you try to use a fake GBA Pokemon cartridgein the GBA slot to migrate pokemon to Diamond or Pearl(assuming you've beaten the Elite Four, have the National Dex & access to the PalPark) then the option to migrate pokemon will not appear on the D/P start menu, & your saved game on the GBA cartridge will become corrupted & be erased the next time you play the GBA game! That's exactly what happened to me after playing for about 70 hours on my fake copy of LeafGreen. I'm looking for genuine copies of all the GBA Pokemon games now... & it can be very hard to find them if you don't want to spend too much money!
Please take care not to get fooled, & if you DO, then demand a refund, & report sellers of fake merchandise to the auction/shop site!!
Good game but with some flaws - By: R.P.McMurphy, 06 Jun 2007 
I've only given this game three stars as although it's good, there are some things that are just not as good asin other Pokemon games.
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but the time doesn't pass properly, so I was only able to pick berries once, then plant them, but they never grew. It meant that other parts of the game weren't possible to do either.
I had this problem with my first cartridge, then tried another, but still had the same difficulty.
The animation of the different creatures when you meet them are good & add a bit of interest (asin Crystal), there are some good new Pokemon but it's a shame that there are not many of the Pokemon from previous versionsin this one.
The two-on-two battles are good, but the fact that you can battle more of the trainers more than once - I wasn't able to battle any trainers again due to the 'time' fault - I only know this is possible as I own Ruby as well.
The story is alright, but I prefer the 'enemy' rival (Gary) as opposed to one who seems to be your friend!
Lastly, I think the look of 'your character' isn't as good asin Crystal.
Brilliant game with lots of pokemon - By: Florencium, 22 Feb 2007 This game is brilliant. You start off choosing weather you want to be a boy or a girl. You then choose a pokemon. You can then choose your pokemon out of Torchic, Mudkip or Treeko. You then start your pokemon adventure. There are well over a hundred & fourty pokemon which makes it the pokemon game with the most pokemon. There are lots of towns & things to do. This best pokemon game yet. I would recommend to any-body 7 or over who has a GBA, SP or DS. It is Brilliant.
