Battles are turn-based and each turn you’ll have several options to choose from. You can fight and select one of your Pokemon’s four attacks. You can look in your backpack and use a potion or other power-up, swap Pokemon or run.
Everyone once in a while you will get caught between two trainers and you’ll have to take them both on at the same time. In this case you’ll be taking on more than one Pokemon and sometimes several; trainers can have up to six Pokemon ready to fight. It’s up to you to put together a team of your own Pokemon, depending on their types, to face off against the opposing Pokemon. Each take a turn attacking.
In battle, you won’t be fighting yourself. You’ll be leaving the fighting to your Pokemon. Pokemon increase in level after they gain experience by winning battles. At certain levels Pokemon will evolve into new Pokemon with new abilities. You can either stop this transformation or accept you’re new Pokemon and lose the old. Each Pokemon is of a particular type. Some may be of the water type, rock type, poison type, etc.. This is where the strategy comes in. Pokemon, depending on their type, are resistant or susceptible to different types of attacks. Rock Pokemon will take a beating from a Water Pokemon who specializes in water attacks. Fire Pokemon will take more damage when fighting a Water based Pokemon. So on and so forth. Selecting which Pokemon will do the fighting for you takes some thinking and a couple of quick decisions.
If your new to the series, don’t worry, one of Pokemon Emerald’s greatest assets is its simple, straightforward and intuitive game play. At its heart, Pokemon Emerald is an old school RPG game. You travel around the map, from town to town and are instantaneously and randomly thrown into a battle with Pokemon and their trainers. Not unlike the random battles seen in Final Fantasy type games. Pokemon are strange little creatures which can be tamed, collected and taught to fight. You play the role of a Pokemon trainer and your goal is to roam the land collecting different Pokemon by battling them and other trainers, increasing your strength as you progress. The ultimate goal is to collect badges by defeating the local Pokemon gym leaders. Each gym leader, one per town, is found in the city gym and are the most challenging trainers to take out.
Pokemon Emerald, Nintendo’s latest Pokemon title is here and it’s available for the GBA. Before I get going, Pokemon fans should know one thing. Pokemon Emerald is an extension and compilation of the Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire games released a few years ago. Emerald also includes the additional material introduced in Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green games, released last year. Basically it’s a combination of all of the above with just a few new twists and additional content (new towns, gym leaders, Pokemon) to keep fans of the series coming back for more. This makes Pokemon Emerald not only the most complete game in the series but also the most polished. If you’ve never picked up a Pokemon game, this is a great place to start. Nintendo continues to create quality Pokemon games and here’s why.
