The {{player}} starts their journey in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved from the [[Johto]] region after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the [[Inside of Truck|moving truck]], which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the truck, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Vigoroth}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.


Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} (whichever is the opposite gender as the player), the child of Professor Birch who will become one of the player's [[rival]]s. After the introduction, Brendan/May soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a {{p|Zigzagoon}}. Birch asks the player to take a {{i|Poké Ball}} out of his bag lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, and {{p|Torchic}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Zigzagoon. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with Brendan/May on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

He then tells the player to meet up with Brendan/May on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.


Once the player finds Brendan/May on Route 103, they have their first {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Outside of the lab, the player's mother gives them the [[Running Shoes]]. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, they meet with their father at the Gym, where he tells them that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman to help him catch a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel Hoenn and challenge the region's [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Juan]].

==Connectivity==
==Connectivity==
Emerald maintained similar levels of compatibility as its companion games {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.  This utilizes the traditional [[Game Link Cable]], or alternatively, the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] like in FireRed and LeafGreen. The game is also able to trade with {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}} using the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Game Link cable. Emerald cannot trade Pokémon outside the Hoenn Pokédex and cannot trade Pokémon with FireRed, LeafGreen, or XD Gale of Darkness until the Player reaches the [[Hall of Fame]] and the National Pokédex is unlocked. Pokémon Colosseum bypasses all trade restrictions beyond unlocking trading.

While Emerald cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some of the [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Generation II Pokémon]] introduced into the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] extension can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

==Localization changes==
* In Emerald, a portion of the fourth room in Trick House has been altered in international versions, to make it harder for player to trap themselves and be forced to start the puzzle from the beginning.
* In the language versions other than Japanese, there is a non-player character on {{rt|111|Hoenn}} who claims that the {{HM|06|Rock Smash}} is obtained from his uncle. In the Japanese version, that character simply refers to the {{DL|Mauville City|Rock Smash Guy}} which includes the word 「オヤジ」 meaning either "old man" or "uncle", not specifically his uncle.
* In [[Trainer Hill]], the international releases had e-Reader battle card compatibilities removed as those cards were never released outside of Japan due to the poor sales of the e-Reader in the US. The player is instead offered a number of predefined layouts to choose from, making a number of rewards only obtainable in the Japanese version.
* The [[Old Sea Map]] was only distributed in Japan and Taiwan, both for the Japanese version of Pokémon Emerald. This item grants access to [[Faraway Island]], where a level 30 wild {{p|Mew}} can be found.
** In languages other than Japanese, Mew was distributed directly in [[List of English event Pokémon distributions (Generation III)|several other events]] for the [[Generation III]] games. Since the Old Sea Map was never distributed for those language versions, the Faraway Island is not legitimately accessible. This event is still able to work as intended if the player obtains the Old Sea Map by using [[cheating]] methods.

* The game uses a faulty implementation of the [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom number generator]] used in [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} games, which allows literally identical [[personality value]]s for a Pokémon even after multiple resets. The game neglects to reseed the PRNG on startup (only doing so when the adventure is begun), which means that the personality values of an encountered Pokémon follow a predictable sequence once the seed is found and/or forced.
