==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Aesthetic changes===
===Gameplay===
* {{p|Vigoroth}} move boxes into Brendan's or May's house instead of {{p|Machoke}} (though the cries are not changed in the Japanese version due to an oversight, but this was corrected in the localizations), while a {{p|Zigzagoon}} replaces the {{p|Poochyena}} chasing [[Professor Birch]].
* [[e-Reader]] support is removed from the international releases, requiring players to [[Record mixing|mix records]] with a Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen cartridge containing e-Reader-exclusive items in order to obtain them.
* The first [[Pokémon Trainer]] fought aside from the [[rival]] has a Poochyena instead of a Zigzagoon.
* Groudon and Kyogre are now respectively captured at the new locations [[Terra Cave]] and [[Marine Cave]] and at higher levels.
* Animated Pokémon front sprites return for the first time since {{game|Crystal}}. This feature was defined as standard for the core series Pokémon games ever since. Emerald is also the first game to have animated back sprites.
* The entrances to the Team Magma and Team Aqua Hideouts are not sealed after defeating [[Tate and Liza]].
* Every [[Gym]] has received at least a slight renovation due to the addition of Trainers for the option of Double Battles. Some of these Gyms received complete overhauls in their designs, such as the [[Mossdeep Gym]], which was given a new, rearranged puzzle that the {{player}} must navigate through. All Gyms now have the Badge mounted on the wall behind the Leader.
* The color of the {{pkmn|Champion}}'s room at the [[Elite Four]] was recolored from its original shade of purple to blue.
* The [[legendary Pokémon]] battle intros include a different animation before moving into the battle scene. This animation involves the body patterns of the [[weather trio]] and the [[legendary golems]]'s braille eye patterns.
* A young girl now blocks {{rt|101|Hoenn}} instead of a young boy.
 
===Storyline changes===
* Both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] are featured as the villainous teams, each stirring trouble at different stages in the game. The objective of each team, to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively, is eventually fulfilled.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is prominent plot-wise, awakened in order to stop the destructive battle between Groudon and Kyogre. It is the one out of the three ancient Pokémon that can be captured prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge, while still at the same place and at the same high level as in Ruby and Sapphire.

* Raising [[friendship]] and lowering [[effort values]] can be done with certain [[Berry|Berries]].
* The [[Mystery Gift]] system from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is added, and relies on the [[e-Reader]] in Japan or on the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] overseas. The [[Enigma Berry]] is thus obtained through Mystery Gift, unlike in Ruby and Sapphire, which used the [[Mystery Gift#Generation III|Mystery Events]] system. The latter is also present in the Japanese version but it is absent from the localizations.

* Unlike {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, trade restrictions between games are in place. Trading with Ruby and Sapphire as well as with another Emerald only allows trading of Pokémon indigenous to [[Hoenn]] while the player possesses only the country's [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]], while the [[National Pokédex]] is required to trade with {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. This restriction also includes [[Pokémon Egg]]s from Ruby or Sapphire regardless if it contains a regional Pokémon. However, trading with {{pkmn|Colosseum}} only requires the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] regardless of the Pokémon being traded.

===Areas===
* The Fossils ([[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossil, Claw Fossil]]) in the desert are now found in a short-lived tower called [[Mirage Tower]] that sinks into the ground once a Fossil is chosen. However, the other Fossil can now be acquired after the Elite Four challenge.
* [[Battle Tent]]s replace [[Pokémon Contest]] Halls in [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]] and [[Slateport City]]. Instead, all Contests take place in [[Lilycove City]].
* Another new battle area, the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, greatly expands the existing Battle Tower. This is also the only place to find a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (Inside [[Artisan Cave]]) in the Generation III handheld games.
* The [[Desert Underpass]] and new areas within the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] appear, introducing 19 Pokémon native to [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. 12 of these Pokémon consist of Johto Pokémon that can only be found in this version other than the Johto Starters, Sudowoodo, and Smeargle, while the other 7 can also be found in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* [[Terra Cave]] and [[Marine Cave]], accessible only after defeating Elite Four, are home to Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. The [[cave]]s are not fixed to one location, and in order to track them, it is necessary to investigate the unusual patterns concluded by the [[Weather Institute]].
* {{p|Mew}} appears on [[Faraway Island]], an island that is located remote from Hoenn. Reaching the island requires a special promotional item, the [[Old Sea Map]], which was only distributed to Japanese players for a limited time.
* While Team Aqua's [[Team Aqua Hideout|hideout]] is at [[Lilycove City]] just like in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Team Magma's [[Team Magma Hideout|hideout]] has been moved to a hidden cave at [[Jagged Pass]] and has been given a completely new design. Also, Team Magma Hideout is now where Groudon is first encountered.
 
===Storyline===
* Both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] are featured as the villainous teams, each stirring trouble at different stages in the game. The objective of each team, to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively, is eventually fulfilled.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is prominent plot-wise, awakened in order to stop the destructive battle between Groudon and Kyogre.

* Due to the game using a modified version of the Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen engine, players can find hidden music in the games, including tracks originally used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} utilizing the [[GameShark]] device.
* While Team Aqua's [[Team Aqua Hideout|hideout]] is at [[Lilycove City]] just like in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Team Magma's [[Team Magma Hideout|hideout]] has been moved to a hidden cave at [[Jagged Pass]] and has been given a completely new design. Also, Team Magma Hideout is now where Groudon is first encountered.


===Other changes===
===Incorporated from FireRed and LeafGreen===
* Although Pokémon Emerald is a modified version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a number of changes occurred to make it more similar to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
Although Emerald is a modified version of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, a number of changes occurred to make it more similar to {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
** The game's font has been changed to one very similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Wireless linking with [[Union Room]], as in FireRed and LeafGreen.
** The [[Power Points|PP]] counter for a move now changes color depending on how many power points are left.
* The [[Mystery Gift]] system from FireRed and LeafGreen is added, and relies on both [[e-Reader]] and [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] in Japan (e-Reader support was removed from overseas releases), being available alongside [[Mystery Gift#Mystery Events|Mystery Events]] in the Japanese version.
** The two event locations from FireRed and LeafGreen, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], make a return.

**Stars pop out of a Poké Ball after a successful capture, rather than nothing happening.
* The [[Party|Pokémon List]] interface was updated to match the one in FireRed and LeafGreen. The background color was changed but other elements like the larger {{stat|HP}} bar and colon-less [[level]] indicator are unaltered. [[Field move]] entries also appear in the Pokémon List's menu after the entry for the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s status screen, as in FireRed and LeafGreen.
** All of the music tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen were inserted into Emerald, but only a handful are actually used:
** This creates some inconsistencies, however: the HP bar shown during the {{pkmn|battle}} {{wp|HUD (video gaming)|HUD}} is the smaller one from Ruby and Sapphire, and in the Japanese version, the HUD's level indicator also uses a colon for levels lower than 100 like Ruby and Sapphire (e.g.: '''Lv:45''' as opposed to '''Lv45''').
*** The ''Pokémon Caught'' fanfare was changed to the one from FireRed and LeafGreen.
* The text font has been changed to one very similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen.
*** [[Navel Rock]] plays the music that was used in the routes outside [[Five Island (town)|Five Island]].

*** Battles with the non-Hoenn legendary Pokémon ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}) use the music from battles with legendary Pokémon in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* [[Altering Cave]], from FireRed and LeafGreen, appears in Emerald.
* Stars pop out of a [[Poké Ball]] after a successful capture, rather than no animation happening.
* All of the music tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen were inserted into Emerald, but only a handful are actually used:
** The [[caught Pokémon]] fanfare was changed to the one from FireRed and LeafGreen.
** Navel Rock plays {{DL|Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|Disc 1|''Sevii Islands''}}.
** Altering Cave plays {{DL|Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|Disc 1|''Caves of Mt. Moon''}}.
** Battles with the non-[[Hoenn]] [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} in Navel Rock play {{DL|Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|Disc 1|''Battle! (Legendary Pokémon)''}} from FireRed and LeafGreen. Encountering and battling {{p|Deoxys}} in Birth Island also plays {{DL|Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|Disc 2|''Deoxys Appears''}} and {{DL|Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|Disc 2|''Battle! (Deoxys)''}}, respectively, like in FireRed and LeafGreen. The battle with {{p|Mew}} in [[Faraway Island]] plays a new theme exclusive to Emerald, {{DL|Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection|Disc 4|''Battle! (Mew)''}}, which is a more intense version of the aforementioned ''Battle! (Legendary Pokémon)''.

* 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.
