Unless you play on emulator, play ORAS. Because playing on the original is quite a gamble.
The battery I just changed inside my Emeral cartridge just gave up when I was finally at the Battle Frontier, wiping out my entire game. Then I went to sell the game to a seller at a flea market in frustration.
The seller refised to buy my copy of Emerald because he noticed that it was a pirate bootleg. I had that cart for more than 10 years. In rage, I smashed that shit into tiny pieces.
