Should I really get Emerald?

[Virtual Headache]

Yep, Emerald has been released in Europe recently, so it's actually available for me.
I already thought about getting it, but it's basically the same as R/S, isn't it?
I know there are animations and some other stuff which has been added, but is it really worth spending another 40 bucks (or something like that) on it, if you've already got Sapphire?

To everyone who owns Emerald: Do you like the new features or do you regret buying it?

I just want some opinions plz.

I personally enjoy Emerald. There are a few new things that I found the extra money worth it. The best is the new double battles -- where you can be caught by two diffrent trainers. There are a few new places too (the Battle Frontier is cool too, if you like battling) that are worth checking out. And you can do rematches with the gym leaders... there are so many new features, you at least have to try them somehow. ^^

Personally, I think it's worth buying, but that's just me. XD

I think it's worth buying Emerald Version if you really enjoyed playing R/S version. There are some new things in the game that make it fun like being able to get things for going to Battle Frontier. I also like how you can team up with a friend in some of the battles.

I don't know, it's your opinion really.

If you just like playing, the Battle Frontier will keep you busy for months at least..... If you like training good pokemon, Emerald makes it so much easier (very cheap Vitamins, faster hatching with Magmars, etc)..... I don't regret buying it at all ^^

I might not have a R/S game, but i do have Emerald. That is the best game ever created! In my opinion, it is truly worth the money.

*has MUCH better graphics
*the pokemon move like in Crystal
*Battle Frontier
*better pokemon
*can catch both Groudon and Kyogre
*can catch Rayquaza before you beat the Elite 4
*New wireless feature

Just trust me. If you like pokemon, i would recomend getting Emerald. If you really dont care about the games much, i would still consider it. Its your choice, but you asked whether you should get it, and in short, in my opinion, YES!!!

(just trying to help. Hope you found my "essay" useful.)

Yep. It's not very bad.
