Pokemon Emerald

Pokmon Emerald Version is a solitary version to Pokmon Ruby and Sapphire, and is the fifth and final Generation III core series game. Like its predecessor, Pokmon Crystal, it added many features not present in the earlier paired versions.

Plot
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 moving van, which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the van, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are Vigoroth movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to Professor Birch, a friend of Norman's.

Graphics
Animated Pokmon front sprites return for the first time since Pokmon Crystal. This feature was defined as standard for the core series Pokmon games ever since. Emerald is also the first game to have animated back sprites. The cave floor design has slightly changed.

Connectivity
Emerald maintained the same levels of compatibility as its companion games Pokmon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokmon FireRed and LeafGreen. Trading between each of these games is possible, but not with games from Generations I and II. This utilizes the traditional Game Link Cable, or alternatively, the GBA Wireless Adapter like in FireRed and LeafGreen.
