Pokemon - Emerald Version

Game Setting and Storyline

As already stated, Pokemon Emerald is an enhancement of its predecessors, having a more or less similar game setting and quest storyline as that of Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Ruby. As the game opens up, you are allowed to select one among the 3 Pokemon species, and the gender of the protagonist, who comes up to you in a new, green-colored outfit. Having done that, you are ready to step into the actual story from your native town.

The game task demands you to catch and evolve Pokemon species to fill your Pokédex. Secondly, you are asked to battle with the Pokemon of the Champion of Elite Four and defeat the same while simultaneously completing 8 gym challenges. Amid your quest, you meet your game rivals, Brendan and Wally, the shy child who helps you to catch your first Pokemon. Further encounters include Wallace, the Champion of the Hoenn Region.

Gameplay

The game’s journey allows you to meet with team Aqua and Team Magma, each having an objective of changing the world with a view of benefitting Pokemon species. Teams Aqua and Magma wish to respectively expand the sea and land, again with respective summons to the Kyogre and Groudon Pokemon. While team Aqua focuses on stealing the weather-changing Pokemon, team Magma’s plan is centered on erupting a volcano.

On reaching the last two gyms, each of the teams calls upon its legendary Pokemon species through the stolen magical orbs from Mount Pyre, but the latter begins a fight among themselves, refusing to obey their masters. As a consequence, the Poke world gets subjected to alternative spells of heavy rainfall and extreme droughts, until you reach out to summon Rayquaza, the legendary Pokemon to suppress the squabble.

As you move on to defeat the Elite Four, two Pokemon species, Latios and Latias, welcome you in Hoenn. You are thrown towards new challenges in the Battle Frontier region, while meeting Steven Stone, the Champion of Meteor Falls, who has by now, powered up his original team in the earlier versions of the game. You can now track and catch Groudon and Kyogre, by communicating with the Weather Institute scientist.
