[edit] European Release

Do we have a confirmed European release date yet? Annonymous user 84.58.153.149 added 27th October as the date, though Amazon.co.uk and Play.com UK give a date of 7th October. Sonic Mew July 2, 2005 18:23 (UTC)

[edit] Pokémon Emerald font

It says that "The font originally used in FireRed and LeafGreen has been implemented in this game." This is not true. I have three images proving this:

• Pokémon Emerald [1]
• Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire [2]
• Pokémon Fire Red/Leaf Green [3]

The Emerald font is obviously a smaller version of the font that was used in Ruby/Sapphire. It's nowhere near the font used in Fire Red/Leaf Green. Jetro 15:11, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

• Fair enough. I got that bit about the font from the GameFAQs boards, so I thought it was true (since I played Emerald at the store).

[edit] US Release

The US release date is May 1^st. Didn't it get delayed? If so, when was it released? Sonic Mew | talk to me 21:09, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I remember the game coming out that day, and we Canadians often get stuff at the same time as the US. 64.231.145.199 20:39, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Creating Pokemon?

There is a rumor on www.gamefaqs.com that you can create pokemon in Pokemon emerald. This rumor is in the message boards. Unfortunately I only found part two. If anyone could tell me if they found the first part that would be great!

You cannot create your own Pokemon. Gamefaqs make up a lot of things. --XenoNeon (converse) 09:03, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you XenoNeon! I'll just stick to pokemon eggs!

[edit] Hoenn?

It says it features Kanto and Johto Pokemon, but it's based on Ruby and Sapphire, so shouldn't it contain Hoenn Pokemon? SilentGuy 13:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

After you beat the Elite Four, you get the National Dex. That allows you to record non-Hoenn pokemon and capture them in a new area in the Safari Zone and the Battle Frontier.

You also get a Johto starter for completing the Hoenn pokedex--Young XenoNeon (converse) 18:50, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

All the following games: Ruby, Saphire, Emerald, LeafGreen, and FireRed all have all of the Johto, Kanto, and Hoenn pokemon from the very beginning, though with with Ruby and Saphire you may have never noticed that anything other than Hoenn pokemon were on it, nor with LeafGreen and FireRed with Kanto pokemon, but they were all there from the very start.

[edit] Someone fooling around?

===Pokémon Additions===

• A new exclusive Deoxys form can never be obtained: Speed. Deoxys must never be obtained through the Aurora Ticket. Deoxys are obtainable by the "Pokémon Rocks America" event and at the Deoxys Hunt event that took place at VUE cinemas in October 2005 in the UK.
• One can obtain the same tickets from FireRed and LeafGreen for acquiring Deoxys, Ho-oh, and Lugia. In addition, a new map is used for acquiring Mew at a place called Faraway Island. As usual, the tickets are only obtainable at a Nintendo event or by jumping.

Is it just me, or does this make no sense? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.89.92.177 (talk • contribs) .

Just you... mostly. It isn’t clearly written, but it does make sense to someone who understands the context. Except “or by jumping”. That part does make absolutely no sense. Unless the person meant the use of a cheat device? -- WikidSmaht (talk)

It isn't like The Poke'mon Silver/Gold/Crystal Versions!

i got myself a houndoom from the safari zone

[edit] Story

OK, I wrote the story, does everyone think its ok? Dee man45 17:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

To be brutally honest... It’s a good outline, but it’s not really great prose. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 19:45, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Thats what I was going for, at least so far, till I get enough feedback to make it better.

[edit] what to get

This, Ruby or Sapphire? whats the best 1

Well, it depends on your personal preference. Do you like Electric teams, then Sapphire will be a breeze, and vice versa. But Emerald contains a whole load of 'new' things that make it good; most notably the Battle Frontier. You need them all if you want to capture every single Pokémon and fill the Pokédex, though. If you are first time; Play Ruby/Sapphire first depending on preference and then get Emerald when you have some experience, as many people find it harder and suprisingly more difficult.--XenoNeon (converse) 10:25, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

• • Cheers, im a RBGS vet so I got Emerald and I'm **loving** it!! :) :D Cheers for your advice man.

[edit] Box Art

Just to mention, the box art dispayed is an older version. The newer version is brighter and includes more colour. Unfortunatly I am incapable of implamenting the change myself. --Myuu 19:11, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I've updated the box art. See it for yourself; I believe it is the one you are talking about. -- A. Exeunt 11:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Here is the link to Infoseek Japan's Emerald page. Should we put this under the External links section, since Pokémon Japan's page is added as well? -- A. Exeunt 09:18, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, forget it and what the heck. I've added it in. If anyone wants to remove it from the list, please do so. The only reason I added it in was because of the (very nice) wallpaper they have over there, as well as the large pictures of Brendan, May, the Hoenn starter Pokémon, Scott, Deoxys and Rayquaza. -- A. Exeunt 13:06, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

The Pokémon Collaborative includes all these external links in a single '''{{Pokerefs}}''' template. Do not flood this article with unrequired fansites as I think we currently have enough.--XenoNeon (converse) 16:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

{{pokerefs}} is formatted for use in species articles only, and is not intended as a permanent template anyway. It was implemented when most of the species articles were lacking references, and the ultimate goal is to subst it into all species articles with appropriate parameters. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 22:15, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Infoseek is no fansite, XenoNeon. -- A. Exeunt 05:19, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Second person

I've removed all the second person from the article, you shouldn't find any more, cheers Minun ^(talk) 19:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cloning Glitch

Is someone going to post the cloning glitch, or should I do it? Hello2112 15:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Never mind. Someone added it. Hello2112 17:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Now then, who removed it? Hello2112 16:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

That information does not fit Wikipedia. We are not a gaming guide, see WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. -- ReyBrujo 05:02, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• Then remove the Pomeg Berry Glitch. Hello2112 21:21, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Emphasis on new features?

This article seems to have more emphasis on new features (and the plot needs a bit of a cleanup) rather than the actual content of the game. Also, "Articles on computer and video games should give an encyclopedia overview of what the game is about", and featured articles like The Wind Waker don't place so much focus and lists on new features. Any comments on how this can be improved? - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 11:24, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This article or section is a candidate to be moved to a gaming wiki.

The section subject for removal doesn't discuss how to play the game, it includes difference from the Sapphire and Ruby versions to the later released Emerald version. The section should therefore be kept. Enigmatic timbre0x 21:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Problem, it excessively lists ALL the new features as a feature collection for unregistered or inexperienced editors to continuously add to. It urgently needs to be prosified. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 21:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reactions with the games

Yes, I know that this game can trade/battle with Ruby/Sapphire/FireRed/LeafGreen. I have two questions, though.

1. Can fourth-generation Pokémon be transferred to Emerald?

2. Can this game be linked up to the upcoming Pokémon Battle Revolution?

Thank you! 66.174.93.101 04:02, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

1. Nope. The 4th-gen Pokémon aren't in the game's coding. Not to mention that trading to D/P is a one-way process anyway.

2. We don't know yet. A preview video used the characters from FR/LG so it might be possible but nothing is confirmed. --Sonic Mew 20:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] When Can Rayquaza Be Captured?

I was wondering about this line from this revision:

The legendary Pokémon Rayquaza can now be obtained at the top of the Sky Pillar after you defeat the Elite Four.

...and this line from this revision:

The legendary Pokémon Rayquaza can now be obtained at the top of the Sky Pillar before you defeat the Elite Four.

Can Rayquaza be caught before, after, or both? -- A. Exeunt 05:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Rayquaza can be caught before the Elite Four. As well as after. After you go and wake it up you can capture it any time afterwards. Gran2 16:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes...you may capture it before you take on the elite4, but if you fail in that (i.e. you make him faint) you have another oppourtunity after you trounce the elite4.----Sage1989

[edit] Major Glitch

I have foun a glitch that alows you to duplicat items and pokemon, it involes the Battle tower link battle (no link cable needed) should i put this in under Glitch es?HHS.student

[edit] This article has been requested for protection

I have placed a semi-protection request on WP:RFP due to, in my opinion, constant vandalism. I feel that the magnitude of problems with vandalism on this article warrants so. -- Altiris Exeunt 05:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

The request was denied, but at least I know how much vandalism is too much vandalism now. -- Altiris Exeunt 06:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
