Starting a run of the pokemon games for the first time.
Pokemon ruby vs sapphire vs emerald reddit.
Pokémon emerald version is an enhanced version of pokémon ruby and sapphire developed by game freak published by the pokémon company and nintendo for the game boy advance.
I ve just finished leaf green and wanted to start on the next one.
As far as version differences go.
The biggest difference between ruby and sapphire is which of the two main legendary pokémon you want to get.
In ruby you get zangoose in sapphire you get seviper and in emerald you get both.
Post game has more stuff it has more legendaries and the storylines are combined.
It was released in japan on september 16 2004 north america on may 1 2005 australia on june 9 2005 and europe on october 21 2005.
Emerald allows you to get both while also making a number of significant changes to the base game.
I think sapph has the better team character wise but ruby has the better plot related team.
If you re worried about missing out on version exclusive pokemon check serebii.
It ll be a general consensus that emerald is better.
After the elite four in r s there s not much to do.
Criminal teams and their objectives in ruby the major team is team magma with team aqua helping the player to bring it down.
I was going to immediately go for oras due to its updated nature and more balanced nature as i ve read online but i read that emerald tells a more complete story and that the 2 different versions of oras differ more than frlg.
You get all three weather legendaries opposed to ruby sapphire where you only get two you get to face both team aqua and magma opposed to just one.
It depends on you.
Oras is good for much of what makes gen 6 in general good but to me it is not complete as a hoenn region game.
I think the region and game progression in particular was much better even if slightly.
In fact emerald stands out more from the two.
They undid everything that emerald either added improved upon or set straight.
Pokemon ruby sapphire and emerald are all games based in the hoenn region but they have differences.
