Like the games it was based on, the player controls a Pokémon trainer, whose general goal is to traverse around the Hoenn region and conquer a series of eight Pokémon gyms to earn eight Gym Badges, then take on the Elite Four, defeat the Pokémon League Champion and succeed him/her. The game is an enhanced remake of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, adding to the third generation of Pokémon games.
It features the Dragon-Flying type Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza on the cover. Pokémon Emerald is a title in the Pokémon series of video games. This time around, Pokemon will show off their moves prior to battle, perhaps as a sort of taunt. A role playing game similar to all the other main Pokemon titles, the story for Pokemon: Emerald takes place over land and sea and pits you against the Team Aqua and Team Magma from Sapphire and Ruby.
