>>56379748>Emerald is ugly, too much green everywhereWhat the fuck are you talking about? The only change between Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald in terms of color is in Emerald Brendan and May have green-themed attire. And the green attire looks better than the original red clothes, anyway.
>Scott is an annoying faggotYou encounter him maybe 6 times throughout the whole game, 1 of which is optional since he's in the Lilycove Hotel. He talks to you for MAYBE three sentences every time that's less than 20 seconds of reading.
>Story is worse - instead of confronting the legendaries yourself, you just have Rayquaza show up and roar and then it's all over.Blud never played the fucking post-game. You confront and stop BOTH Groudon and Kyogre and get to capture them. In RS you can only pick your version exclusive.
>Then you go and get a level 70 Rayquaza before you even fight JuanYeah and it's based. You can't even complain it makes Juan or Wallace easier, either. They're both Water-type trainers with Ice-type moves that can 1 shot kill Rayquaza.
>Speaking of, Wallace as champion sucksI agree. Steven was a lot better, especially since we get to interact with him throughout the story. But I also like Juan better than Wallace so I don't mind Wallace moving up to Champion. Besides we can fight Steven in the post-game and he's even stronger.
>Battle Frontier sucksAgree, I never get the hype.
>Hoenn Pokemon are missing in favor of some lousy Johto mons in the Safari ZoneThe Hoenn 'mons that're missing are pretty shite and forgettable anyway, but it is stupid not to include them in the definite way to play Hoenn.
>Why play Emerald when you can just get a romhackI'm not playing the try-hard difficultyhacks and neither are most people who aren't trannies.
