>>43206676>>43206861As for Emerald i'm just not a big fan Gen 3 that much despite it being my first gen. Not a fan of the color pallet they chose for Hoenn as well as the soundfont of the engine, Hoenn's layout never stood out to me either with a lot of areas feeling like dead ends. The Pokemon are good but I feel like you are pretty limited early game. I almost always see people run Lotads, Shroomish, Tailows, Aron, etc early on because the Pokemon distribution is just weird, and a lot of Pokemon don't get good moves until way later around halfway through the game,lines like Lotad, Treeko, Ralts, Aron, Seedot, Whismur, etc. Despite all those things the overall experience is solid and the Battle Frontier is awesome. I can't see myself putting it in S personally, but I understand what people see in Emerald so I put it in A
