Pokémon Emerald, released in Japan as Pocket Monsters Emerald, is a title in the Pokémon series of video games. The game is an enhanced remake of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, adding to the third generation of Pokémon games. Like the games it was based on, the player controls a Pokémon trainer, whose general goal is to traverse around the Hoenn region and capture Pokémon. Like Ruby and Sapphire, the game features the third generation Pokémon, but also adds some second generation Pokémon that were once limited to Pokémon Colosseum.

The National Pokédex is also available without trading. The game follows the same storyline as Ruby and Sapphire, but adds new elements such as the Battle Frontier, where the player can enter a variety of areas with different Pokémon competitions. The elements have been considered by many to be major additions and the popularity of the Pokémon franchise had seen the game meet commercial success. Emerald was 2005's second best-selling game in the United States.

Easter Eggs

Getting Latias Or Latios
After you defeat the Elite Four, go to your house and watch the television downstairs. After you watch it, your mom will ask you what color the Pokemon is. If you say Red, you will find Latias. If you say Blue, it will be Latios.

Getting the other Lati
To get the other Lati (Latios or Latias), Mix Records with a Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire game that used the Eon Ticket. You can then get to a hidden island via the SS Tidal where you can find the Lati you didn't choose.

Shiny pokemon
Every time you encounter a pokemon you have a 1/8192 chance of the pokemon being a different color, this is called a shiny pokemon.

Secrets

Battle Steven, the former champion.
After beating the Elite Four, a new part of Meteor Falls opens up. It is in the northwestern corner where you found Iron Tail. A new cave was made and you'll find Steven in it. His Pokemon are in the high 70's.

Compound Eyes Second effect
If you have a Pokemon with Compound eyes 1st in your Party it will draw Wild Pokemon that has held Items more often.

Cut's Out of Battle effect
Have a Pokemon use CUT to remove grass where wild Pokemon live. It will remove the chance of encountering wild Pokemon. The grass will
regrow once you leave the area or enter a building.

Cute Charm's Second Effect
If you have a Pokemon with Cute Charm 1st in your Party it will more likely draw Wild Pokemon with the opposite gender of the Pokemon with Cute Charm.

Faster hatching eggs
Simply put a pokemon with the ability Flame Body or Magma Armor on your team to cut the amount of steps needed to hatch an egg in half.

Get the Mental Herb
In one of the treehouses in Fortree City there is a man with a Wingull. Talk to the Wingull and it will fly off out of the treehouse. When you get to Mossdeep City, you will see a person with a Wingull. Talk to it and it will fly off as well. Then go back to Fortree City and into the treehouse where you talked to the first Wingull. Talk to the man next to the Wingull and he will give you the Mental Herb, an item which is a hold item that prevents attraction on the Pokemon that is holding it.

Hustle's Second Effect
If you have a Pokemon with Hustle 1st in your Party it will draw Wild Pokemon that has a Higher Level than the Pokemon that has Hustle.

Inherit Pokemon Natures through breeding.
To do this you need an Everstone. To get one, search in Granite Cave for a lone rock on top of a plateau. Once you get an Everstone, let a Ditto or a female Pokemon that you are breeding hold on to it. Once you receive and hatch the eggs, the offspring will have a 50% chance of inheriting the Nature from the Pokemon holding the Everstone.

Intimidate and Keen Eye's second ability
If you put a Pokemon that was intimidated or Keen Eye 1st in your party the chances of wild Pokemon encounter is reduced by 10%.

Lightningrod's second ability
If you have a pokemon with lightning rod as an ability, you will get calls from registered trainers more often.

Magnet Pull's secondary effect
If you have a pokemon with the Magnet Pull ability in front of your party, it increases the chances of finding wild steel-type Pokemon. This is very useful for finding rare steel types, such as Mawile.

Mirage Island
Mirage Island is an invisible Island located on Route 130. Most of the time it will be invisible but on rare cases, the island will be visible. To find out if the island is there or not, go to Pacifidlog Town and talk to the old man in the bottom right house looking out the window. He will tell you whether the island is there or not. The cause is unknown so a bit of luck is needed to find it. On the island you will find the rare Leichi Berry that powers up your Pokemon's attack in battle when it gets weak. In the grass, you will only find Wild Wynauts.

Mystery Gift
To unlock mystery gift, go to a pokemon mart and press A on the piece of paper on the counter. Then insert the words LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL. Press select to easily find the words. After this the store lady will talk to you and tell you that mystery gift is now unlocked.

Raising weak pokemon easier
Just put the weak pokemon in the first slot. When a battle starts, just switch out that pokemon right away. After the battle the pokemon will receive half of the exp. points.

Shedinja
To get Shedinja, you must first catch a Nincada and have an empty space in your party. People say you need a Pokeball for it, but you do NOT. Shedinja copies the ball the Nincada was caught in.
Anyways, with one empty space in your party, level up Nincada to level 20. It will evolve into Ninjask. When you check your party, you will see Shedinja sitting in the final slot, along with the Ninjask and 4 other Pokemon.

Static's secondary effect
If you have a pokemon with the Static ability in the front of your party, it increases the chance of finding a wild electric type pokemon. This is EXTREMELY useful for finding rare electric types, like Pikachu in the Safari Zone.

Suction cups/Sticky hold's second ability
If a pokemon in your party has suction cups/sticky hold as an ability, then you will have an easier time fishing for wild pokemon.

Swarm's second ability
The Pokemon ability Swarm has 2 effects. It raises Bug-type attacks by 150% when the user is weak, and, new to Emerald, it makes pokemon cry in the background more often. For example, in caves outside of battle, you will hear a Pokemon screech more often.

Synchronize's second ability
If you have a pokemon with synchronize as an ability, you will encounter more pokemon with the same nature as the pokemon with synchronize. Note that the pokemon with this ability must be in the front of your party.

Here's how you can clone your pokemon, a very cool glitch:

In the game Pkokemon Emerald it's possible to catch Raquaza(may not be the right spelling) without the masterball, but you have to haveyour pokemon lv. 50-60 and also bring a lot of ultra balls(around 60 or so) and save before you battle him.
