Lets Play Monthly: Pokemon Emerald (GBA) Part 1 - Welcome to Hoenn

We start a new kind of LP experiment by going with the monthly format which is update once a month 10-20 minutes videos that will hopefully reduce the amount of time needed to complete said game.

With that set in mind... we are taking a trip back to 2005, when the franchise was celebrating it's 10th anniversary by playing the more complete Generation 3 experience known as Pokemon Emerald.

This game took 2 unpolished games (Ruby and Sapphire), take their best features out, merging them together and adding a bit more polish and add more unique features such as the Battle Frontier and Move Tutors to make it a much better game... in fact this game saved the 3rd generation allowing Game Freak to rerelease Red and Blue as Fire Red and Leaf Green.

As we begin our playing experience, we recount how Ruby/Sapphire began with a young boy moving into a new town alongside his mother where he slowly but surely begins his Pokemon Journey.

((I have chosen Treecko for this adventure))

Speaking of the metagame, have you heard that Smogon has moved Emboar, the Unova fire starter that made the game ridiculously easy, in the Ubers tiers list. What's your reaction to that?

[heavybassX]

@DeoxysChao The fuck? I thought Blaziken was Ubers because of Speed Boost... how can Emboar with 65 Defense, Special Defense and Speed be put in a tier full of Speedy bastards.

@heavybassX Why do you guys even let Smogon dictate you

Once Emerald came out, i could never go back to Ruby and Saphire.

I loved Generation 3 - because my ten-year-old self didn't noticed any flaws when I first played it. I probably still like it now.

I thought Ruby and Sapphire were great games.
