So I recently decided to start working through the backlog of pokemon games I have built up. I'm currently at Emerald, but the thing is I don't know much about 3rd Gen's pokemon save for a few. I plan on running with at least a Torchic and a Gardevoir (assuming I can figure out a good setup, it's definitely no Alakazam), and maybe a Milotic if I can figure out the beauty shit. Any other suggestions/advice?

And yes, I know about the 3rd gen remake rumors. I don't really give a shit about it, I'm playing through Emerald regardless.
