Differences in Emerald than Ruby and Sapphire....* What's new in Emerald?
Here are some of the main differences between Emerald and R/S. My list is not all-inclusive but should be helpful to give you an idea of what's been added/changed:
You cannot use Good Sir Houndoom Revenges' bike/daycare training tip in Emerald since the phone will interrupt you and stop your motion.
In R/S, the hideout where the master ball is located is closed off after you do that part of the storyline. But in Emerald, you can go back in there at a later time.
Pokemon animate when they enter battle as they did in Crystal
There is a new place called Battle Frontier with 7 different battle areas
There is a new pass called Frontier pass that gets you into the Battle Frontier
The Battle Frontier area has Artisan cave
We can catch a wild Sudowoodo in the Battle Frontier. There's only one in the game and that is where it is. Sudowoodo was not in R/S, although there was one in Colloseum that we could snag from "Mirror B" and then trade to R/S. Still use the wailmer pail with Sudowoodo.
All Contests are located in Lilycove, not different cities/towns like in R/S.
There are three "Battle Tents", and each are different. Vet Absol posts "you rent at the first. in the second, you can't choose your attacks. at the third, you have to ko the other pokemon in 3 turns or if you cant, you get judged on your style, and the pokemon with the lower score faints (both faint in a tie)."
There are a lot more 2v2 battles than any other previous GBA version
The story includes both team Aqua and Magma in an updated plot
You can catch both Groudon and Kyogre. Marine cave and Terra cave are new.
Rayquaza is catchable and has a special role in the story
The REGIs are all catchable though the details of how to get them are slightly different
The desert underpass is new and you can get Both fossils. Mirage tower is new (desert)
As noted in the post before this, move tutor locations/moves have been updated
We can finally re-battle Gym leaders (it’s random, so check your match call)
You can battle Steven in Meteor Falls but he has high level pokemon so save first
The E4 have different pokemon/levels than in R/S
Certain enhancements have been made to specific abilities (like pickup)
Some berries will lower Effort in a given stat (listed in previous section)
* Breeding changes include
Hatching quicker: You can hatch eggs with 1/3 less steps if you have a pokemon with a certain ability in your party at the time. Mod clownmaster notes that both Flame Body and Magma Armor speed up the hatching process.
