==Localization changes==
* The ledge in southwestern section of Victory Road B1F in {{g|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} was made one tile shorter in non-English European versions of the game, making that part of the floor two-way instead of one-way.
===Localization changes shared by Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald===
* In Japanese, the map seen on the wall of some buildings is said to be a [[Town Map]] of the [[Hoenn]] region. However, the name "Town Map" is not seen in English, as this is simply called a "Hoenn region map".
** In the [[Generation VI]] remakes, the map at the wall is once more called a Town Map, this time both in Japanese and English.
* In [[Sidney]]'s [[Ever Grande City#Sidney's room|room]] at the Pokémon League, the lights at the background flash quickly in the Japanese version. These lights slowly turn on and off in the localized versions.
* Several glitches were fixed in the international releases.
* The VU Meter in the [[Pokédex]] was altered depending on which international version was being played.
* ''Pokémon Battle-e'' Trainer cards request screen was changed in international releases.
* Some of the Trainer sprites are different in Japanese and international versions.
