Pokémon Emerald (ポケットモンスター　エメラルド, Poketto Monsutā Emerarudo^?) is a title in the Pokémon series of video games. It was released for the Game Boy Advance in Japan on September 16, 2004, in North America and Hong Kong on May 1, 2005, in Australia on June 9, 2005, and in Europe on October 21, 2005. It features the Dragon/Flying type Pokemon Rayquaza on the cover.

The game is an enhanced remake of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, adding to the third generation of Pokémon games. Like the games it was based on, the player controls a Pokémon trainer, whose general goal is to traverse around the Hoenn region and capture Pokémon. Like Ruby and Sapphire, the game features the third generation pokémon, but also adds some second generation pokémon that were once limited to Pokémon Colosseum. The National Pokédex is also available without trading.

The game follows the same storyline as Ruby and Sapphire, but adds new elements such as the Battle Frontier, where the player can enter Pokémon battles with other trainers. The elements have been considered by many to be major additions, and the popularity of the Pokémon franchise had seen the game meet commercial success. Emerald was 2005’s second best-selling game in the United States.

Story

Emerald features a slightly modified version of the story from Ruby and Sapphire, with both Team Magma and Team Aqua serving as villains, and both Groudon and Kyogre making appearances.

Beginning

The story begins with the player moving to their new home in Littleroot Town, where their neighbors include Professor Birch, a renowned Pokémon researcher, and his child. His child is May if the player chooses to be a boy, or Brendan if the player chooses to be a girl. Afterwards the player hears a cry for help, and sees the Professor being attacked by a wild Poochyena. Taking control of one of his Pokémon, the player must drive off the Poocheyena, receiving as a reward the Pokémon they used. Birch then sends the player north to find his child, who challenges the player to a friendly practice battle. The two head back to Littleroot, where the protagonist decides to become a Pokémon Trainer, and sets out to visit his or her father, Norman, who happens to be the Gym Leader of Petalburg City. After Norman declines to battle his inexperienced progeny, he sends his greenhorn child on a quest to defeat some of his weaker counterparts.
