Just not good enough.
On the other hand though emerald offers a few new things. You can now catch both Gourdon and Kyogre which is nice. This game also has some things that I wish some of the older games had such as Battle frontier, abandoned ship, and underwater dungeons. I still belive that this genration of pokemon is not up to par with the others and that most of the pokemon are either to weak or remakes of older pokemon let hope gamefreak gets it right next time.
