>LatisGeneral roamer. It's fine.
>Groudon/KyogreUnique method of finding them that was never seen again. Also being able to encounter other box legends is always a nice feature as nobody wants to trade those.
>Safari Zone expansionNice to give access to Johtomons, but it's a catchathon still. I like that it at least expands on a feature from the base game.
>Trainer HillCopy of Trainer Tower. It's okay, but lack of e-Reader functionality hampens it hard.
>Leader rematchesNice to have finally, and being able to see National Dex mons is really cool. I loved fighting Roxanne as a kid to see the other fossils.
>StevenNice to have a secret boss fight, wish he was rematchable. That and Deoxys formes all being obtainable are the only changes I would make to Emerald specifically with hindsight.
>Battle FrontierGenuine ludo. This is the most important part: it gives a place to test your team building in singleplayer with funky rulesets for variety. Every gen since 5 missing that hurts me. Online multiplayer isn't a replacement for it, especially when those are just filled with bs meta teams.
