Besides the usual vanilla game issues, the music is meh, the regional dex is kinda lame, the lack of split sucks, and the learnsets are mostly garbage, even though the mass power creep happens next generation.

There's an NPC who in Ruby/Sapphire talked about wanting to catch a Pokemon to compete in the nearby Contest Hall. His dialog is shifted to refer to the Battle Tent in Emerald even though the Tents rent out Pokemon.

breeding is too tedious and slow
EV training is too tedious and slow
battle facilities have no super mode unlike gen 5-7 so they're fucking annoying to playthrough
surfing random encounters are shit, they should've added at least 2 other new water lines to fill up the encounter tables past lilycove as well as made wailmer a surf encounter rather than a fishing one.

if Emerald had modern QoL + trainer customization + online it would probably be my favorite game in the series.

Just mod the game to have better opponents if it bothers you that much. I modded an Emerald file just to change encounter rates, wild Pokémon and battle mons. I was annoyed that there were such a shit variety of Pokémon in the Safari Zone so I put Arcanine in there at LVL 57 with a 1% encounter rate. Made it more fun. I did the same at that Ghost shrine island place, but added Gengar.

It doesn't spoil the game by giving you what you want, but it adds Pokémon to the area that make sense. Y'know?

Those are my main problems with Emerald. Other than that it's a pretty good game.

>water routes are great and they encourage exploration
Are you high? Water levels are always some of the worst in almost every game and worse in Pokemon. They limit your movement immensely and are second only to caves as repel heavy areas. I like random battles, but even I get annoyed as shit going through water routes.

No he's right, as far as land goes there's also more explore in Hoenn than Kanto and Johto. Making the whole "too much water" complaint moot especially since its about 5% of the remaining game not counting any optional areas.
Also
>Water levels are always some of the worst in almost every game
This only refers to platformers and a scant few at that given that the big series like Mario and Sonic rarely have bad water levels but I digress, RPGs aren't beholden to the same issues found in platformers like slower movement and whatnot meaning that the only real issue would be the encounter rate which you can manipulate in just about every rpg to date.

It's not the water itself, it's that most of it is boring compared to how well the land routes were designed. The swimmers use the same pokemon and the wild encounters are stupid. You're in open water, why can't you encounter Sharpedo, Tentacruel, Gyarados, and Wailord to name just a few? Maybe Seadra and Seaking too. Hell, even Luvdisc.

Glacia only has the Snorunt and Spheal families on her team. As the second strongest member of the E4. If they didn't have enough ice types to fill up her team and didn't want to use other types to compensate then they simply shouldn't have had an ice type E4.
Phoebe could have also had Shedinja (Greta has one so GF clearly didn't consider it cheap) and maybe Ninetales since it's associated with curses and Vulpix is only available in the ghost area.

Oh it has, multiple times in fact with Emerald being one of those games, others include platinum, HGSS, BW2.
The point is that Crystal was one of th worst games in the franchise to date and killed pokemania well before its time.

While the opinion of the fandom shifts from time to time, Generation III is notable for drawing the most criticism for the series yet. The sense of a reboot when players were thrust into Hoenn (which excludes 184 of the older 251 Pokémon from availability) with no way to recover their old Pokémon drew ire from some fans. The game also saw a jump in newly introduced Legendary Pokémon, with 10 more introduced, a significant increase from Generation II, which only introduced 6.

>with no way to recover their old Pokémon drew ire from some fans
You'd actually be surprised how few people actually cared about bringing their mon forward back then. Remember, it wasn't nearly as easy to do back then as it is now so not many people actually bothered doing so from gen 1 to gen 2 and the few that did didn't have a list of moves that couldn't go back so often even if you had the tools needed many wouldn't bother.
I still have a few of my old Nintendo UK magazines and the biggest complaint was actually the lack of day and night despite it being a gimmick at the time.

The internal battery has run dry. The game can be played, however clock-based events will no longer occur.

Yet again you embarrass yourself with your lack of knowledge about the forum, newbaby. Sun Queen was a title my fans gave me, I reluctantly accepted it.
You can list as many fan remakes as you like, none has the magic and majesty of gen 2.

NTA, but it isn't as though other Elite 4s didn't also have secret or unavailable mons. The Kanto ones in particular have trade-only Evos like Machamp and Gengar, and Dratini and Aerodactyl are both quite hard to find. Gen 2 has Karen using mons that you simply can't find until the postgame.

I think the actual reason they avoided Shedinja was because its ability could absolutely stonewall a kid who doesn't understand what it's doing.
The sheer number of duplicates on their teams is rather jarring though, especially because the mons themselves aren't exactly great.

They're hard to find but they aren't a secret. I mean, shedinja you wouldn't have found on your own just by exploring, you have to make sure you have a space.

Trade-evos aren't something you find on your own by exploring either, by definition. Besides, raising a pokemon to level 20 while not having a full party isn't exactly an esoteric circumstance. If a player caught Nincada to use early on and left space open on their team for future catches, they're quite likely to find it.
