Of course there are still good reasons to play Ruby/Sapphire over Emerald! There's um... uh...
I don't like that Wallace is the champion in Emerald. I think that's my only complaint.
What were you hoping to accomplish with this one?
>>59035833There’s literally no reason to play these games when emerald AND ORAS exist. I think the only reason people buy them is just ignorance or stupidity.
Gamefreak will probably bake the Eon ticket into them and force you to use them to transfer it to Emerald to leave them something so you have to get them to have a good Latios for the Frontier.
>>59035867That's pretty much what they did. Get the Eon Ticket with the e-Reader, and mix records with an Emerald player to get it in there.
>>59035833this applies to basically every generation with a 3rd game, not just RuSa
>>59035833>I like Groudon but prefer LatiasFuck GF for making the red one exclusive to the blue game
>>59035839I think it's meant as a gothca moment because the ORAS shill thread flopped.
>>59035912Get emerald r-tard
>>59035919>no zangoose and medicham
>>59035833Courtenay. Got nothing for Sapphire thpugh.
I like blue more than green
>>59035833E Reader support
>>59036209Japanese Emerald has better support for it. Very true for ever other version of Emerald though.
>>59035833I unironically like the RS outfits more
>>59035833It's just shit like "I prefer this exclusive which was cut from Emerald"
>>59035893>RuSaAre you a Redditor?
>>59035833Sapphire just makes sense.
>>59036223>unironicallyI feel like theres an evenly split amount of folks who like the RS outfits and the emerald outfits, especially given the latter were featured in the anime
>>59035833The green headware is tacky. The text font looks better in my opinion. Steven champion. Less story slog with only 1 evil team. Emerald is still better overall but there have been times I preferred playing sapphire instead
>>59036223RS May best May.
>>59035833Better sprites for May and BrandonBetter championContest hall spread over the citiesSmoother UI
Only game where the contests are spread out and you can treat it like an actual secondary part of the journey like in the anime
>>59035833Steven as champion means you can easily counter the whole game with Swampert + grass repellant of your choice (for me it's Swellow), which means any/all remaining team slots can be painlessly filled with whatever goofy fringe mons you may want to try out like Swalot Lunatone Masquerain etc
>>59035833Ruby and Sapphire has less filler/padding
I like blue color more than green so sapphire is better than emerald
>>59035833getting a groudon/kyogre that's at a low enough level to be legal for colosseum's battle mode so you can just cheese the whole thing
>>59036503Gen 3 in general felt the most like the anime. I never once said this for the games before and after.
>>59035833Yeah that’s why I wanted the Pokemon Masters collection to be real. It would have either Red Gold and Ruby or Blue Silver and Sapphire
>>59036259>>59036555Not enough people realize this. More story doesn't make it a better story.
>>59035833Emerald legitimately has too many battles. The levels of trainers were lowered overall yet there's like 50% more trainer battles in most areas, especially team aqua/magma. Its way too much. That plus little things like contest availability and Steven being champion make RS preferable during the main campaign imo. Emerald is really only superior in the postgame
