Emerald is overrated. The things it adds are trash.
>hey bro you have to encounter a level 70 rayquaza when youre at like level 45
>basically must use master ball, sorry now you have to suffer the roaming pokemon
>and yeah you can take fug to the elite four making it a complete joke
>no theres no new areas to explore like in FRLG when you win, just the same old hoenn
Completely overrated third version , only gets considered S tier because it is technically slightly better then RS due to some added small stuff. Honestly RS are way better IMO because you get a real champion instead of a water champion when you literally just got the 8th badge from a water leader. Tbh the rayquaza thing is the worst offender that part is complete shit, was baffling to me as a kid
