Just when you were almost ready to put down Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire,
Nintendo takes you back with the latest in the series, Pokémon Emerald.
Whether you're new to the Pokémon world, want to fill out your Pokédex, or
simply can't get enough of those crazy critters, there are plenty of new
things to do.
Welcome to my Pokémon Emerald FAQ/Walkthrough. In this guide, you'll find
everything you need to know to become the ultimate Pokémon Trainer. I will try
to include everything, detailed and comprehensive as I can. Enjoy the FAQ.

---------------------------------
Made everything you see here so far. This is the first version of this FAQ, but
this means the guide is still inprogress and incomplete. Completed all the
sections in this guide except for the walkthrough that is up to Lavaridge Town.
That is my main focus on this guide, the walkthrough. After that is complete,
the whole FAQ will be complete. A lot of updates to come. 292 KB.

===============================================================================
These are the basic things you know to pass and at least play the game. It
includes every basic things from the controls to how to catch pokemon even.
If you are a beginer at pokemon I suggest you read this section. It will help
get started and how to do the basic things. If you are not, then you should
skip this section and move on to sections 4 or 5 if you want. So let's begin,
shall we.
O=============================================================================O
|                          --- 3.01 - Controls ---                     (0301) |
O=============================================================================O
The basics of the basics, the controls.
Directional Pad (D-Pad):
------------------------
The Directional Pad (or D-Pad for short) is your navigation button. That is
to say the D-Pad allows you to move your character around various areas,
whether it be a town, city, forest or cave, but it also allows you to
navigate the various menus, both of the in-game and battle variety.
Start Button:
-------------
The Start Button's primary function is to call up the main menu anytime when
you're not in battle.
Select Button:
--------------
The Select Button is rarely used. It has a few in-game functions, but it's
most important in-game function is when you set an item to the Select Button.
When you do that, press Select at any point out of battle to use said item.
B Button:
---------
The B Button is known as the "cancel" or "back" button. In the various in-
game and battle menus, if you select something and you don't to commit to
that selection, press B to go back to the previous menu. This only works if
your selection didn't make something happen. That is to say, once you select
an attack in battle, you can't press B and go back - it's too late. But if
you select an item in a menu and don't want to use it, press B
to go back. Also, outside of battle and menus, once you obtain the Running
Shoes, you can run around with them through towns, forests, caves and
essentially anything outside of battle (except houses and other buildings) by
pressing and holding down the B Button.
A Button:
---------
The A Button is used to search and confirm. Press the A Button in
front of someone to talk to that person, press the A Button to pick something
up off of the ground or table, or in the in-game and battle menus, pressing
the A Button will confirm a selection, whether it be an attack or whatever.
The A Button is also used to progress text when talking to someone, or end a
conversation when it's over.
L Button:
---------
The L Button is not used in this game's standard button operation.
R Button:
---------
The R Button is not used in this game's standard button operation.

'=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-'
This is a screen that appears when you first enter any battle. The battle
screen contains your pokemon's status, HP, name, Exp. and level. This also
applys to the opponets pokemon's box. (Execpt for Exp.) So you should know
what each things mean, so you could start battling.
So, you've entered into a Pokémon battle? Now what, you ask? Well, let us
first focus on the battle menu. There are four choices within the battle
menu, and they are...
Fight: Fight is the primary command you'll select when using your Pokémon in
battle. When you select the Fight command from the battle menu, it'll bring
you to a list of the attacks the particular Pokémon you have in battle can
use. As you might know by now, your Pokémon can have up to four attacks at
one time, so selecting the Fight command will bring you to these attacks,
however many your Pokémon may have at that given time.
Bag: Selecting the Bag command will bring you to your Bag where you hold your
various items, whether they be healing items, status-curing items, or the
like. You can find more information on the Bag in the Basics section of the
guide, and, of course, more information on the various in-game items can be
found in the Items section of this guide.
Pokémon: Selecting the Pokémon command will bring you to a list of your
current party Pokémon, which is essentially the Pokémon you currently have in
battle on the left side of the screen, and your five idle Pokémon on the
right side of the screen. Here, you can swap in and out various Pokémon (into
and out of battle), view their summaries, stats, et cetera, and decide what
course of action to take with what Pokémon in this battle. Do note that when
you swap in a Pokémon in battle, that is essentially your turn in the battle,
meaning you won't get to attack for that turn. This assumption is void if one
of your Pokémon is slain in battle, in which case you get to freely replace
him with another Pokémon from your party.
Run: Selecting the Run command will allow you and your party of Pokémon to
flee from battle. The weaker the enemy is compared to your party, and the
slower the Pokémon is, the better your chances of escaping from battle.
Remember, selecting Run isn't foolproof, and it's actually quite a bad idea
to run from battle, as you don't get the experience points for your Pokémon
necessary to make them grow in strength so that you can fight stronger
Pokémon, fight stronger Gym Leaders, and get more Badges. You cannot select
run during trainer battles.
O=============================================================================O
|                      --- 3.03 - Catching Pokemon ---                 (0303) |
O=============================================================================O
One of the main things in the game, next to badges, is catching pokemon.
Without catching pokemon there won't be such thing as a pokedex. So that's
why I put this in the FAQ.
The art of capturing Pokémon is a no-nonsense craft that you will need to
master if you ever hope to capture Pokémon. Different Pokémon have different
resistances to being captured, as some are incredibly easy to capture, while
others are next to impossible to capture. However, there are certain things
that you should keep in mind.
1.) Weaken the Target Pokémon - Trying to capture a full-health Pokémon and
make him your own is next-to-impossible, and it shouldn't be attempted. Why?
Because you'll miss, and you'll waste a Pokéball in the process. What you'll
want to do is weaken your Pokémon as much as you can. You can weaken him to
50% to make him vulnerable to capture, but lowering him to as low as 10%-15%
is the best thing to do. Usually, when you encounter a Pokémon you want to
capture, you'll want to switch out the Pokémon you currently have and put in
your weakest party-ready Pokémon. This is so you don't kill the Pokémon
before you capture it. Chip away at the Pokémon's health slowly, but surely.
When the Pokémon gets to around 25% health, you can start throwing Pokéballs
at it. If you miss, try again. If you miss again, weaken the Pokémon more,
and when he's literally next to death, try again. You should capture it. If
not, you might have encountered a strong-resistance Pokémon, or a rare
Pokémon that'll need a stronger type of Pokéball to capture. And on that
note...
2.) Use the Right Pokéball - The standard Pokéball will capture a vast
majority of the Pokémon, as long as you've weakened them enough and tired
them out. For some Pokémon, however, a stronger ball will be needed, such as
a Great Ball or Premier Ball, amongst others. Don't waste these stronger
Pokéballs, however. Try your regular Pokéballs several times, try weakening
the enemy more, and try capturing it again before you waste a more powerful
ball.
3.) Be Patient - If you kill a Pokémon when you're attempting to capture it,
don't fret; it happens. With rare exceptions, you'll get the chance to
capture that Pokémon again. Just simply run around the area where you
originally ran into it, and chances are you'll run into it again. As a last
resort, check out the entry for that Pokémon in your Pokédex to find more
locations on where you can find that Pokémon, as well as more vital stats and
information that might be of assistance in capturing that Pokémon. Exhaust
all options before simply giving up on capturing a particular Pokémon!
4.) Once Captured, Don't Neglect! - Some Pokémon might not look like much.
Some might not even have any attacks. But use that Pokémon in battle
(switching it out after the battle starts if you have to, to get it half of
the battle's experience) and build it up. Eventually, these weak Pokémon
evolve into Pokémon that are so incredibly strong that it'll amaze you.
That's why they're weak to begin with - they are meant to turn the player off
from them so that they miss a Pokémon with incredible strength. Don't make
that mistake, try to use all of your Pokémon fairly evenly and experience
what each one brings to the table.
The various pokeballs and there effects.

| Net ball     | Makes it easier to catch bug and water pokemon.             |
| Safari ball  | Special ball only used in the safari zone.                  |
| Premier ball | Normal chance of catching a pokemon                         |
| Luxury ball  | Normal chance of catching pkmn, easier for pkmn to like you.|

===============================================================================
So this is the section where the pokemon things you need to know are. You
should take alook if your a beginner and all the pokemon basics are in here.
So let's begin.
O=============================================================================O
|                      --- 4.01 - Status Conditions ---                (0401) |
O=============================================================================O
Special and status-altering attacks can cause a variety of conditions. Items
must be found or purchased to combat these conditions. Here is a quick
breakdown of what they do:
Burn: Lose HP during battle for the duration of the Burn status. Also reduces
Attack.
Confuse: Confused Pokémon have a 50% chance of causing damage to themselves
by accident. Automatically cured after battle.
Fainted: When your HP are 0, the Pokémon faints and can no longer attack.
However, special HM techniques like Cut still work outside of battle.
Flinch: If a Pokémon flinches after getting hit, it can't attack for that
round.
Freeze: Frozen Pokémon can't attack until they're unfrozen (through Fire
techniques or items).
Paralyze: Paralyzed Pokémon experience a radical drop in Speed while the
effect lasts. Their attacks will also fail half of the time.
Poison: Poisoned Pokémon lose HP every turn in battle. This condition will
not end after battle and the Pokémon will continue to lose HP with every four
steps you take.
Sleep: A sleeping Pokémon cannot attack. It will wake up on its own after a
few turns.

So we begin the whole point of me writing the walkthrough. You shall
begin by pushing new game, then the old guy... I mean professor Birch will ask
for your name and your quest will begin.
O=============================================================================O
|                      --- 5.01 - Littleroot Town ---                  (0501) |
O=============================================================================O
When you're done with Birch, a truck will drive you to Littleroot Town. Get
out of it and you'll be greeted by your mother. After a short conversation,
you'll be left alone to explore your room. Go up the stairs to get there.
Once in your room, check out what's there. Move to the clock and press A to
access it, then move the D-Pad left and right to set it. Check your desk, if
you want. The PC here is not of much use yet. When you're done poking around,
head downstairs. Your Mom will call you over to see a TV show that your
father is on. He's a Gym Leader and is currently being interviewed. She tells
you to go visit Prof. Birch. His house is next door.

you to go visit Prof. Birch. His house is next door, but he's not home.
Instead, his wife is there. She tells you to go up and meet her kid. The kid
is the opposite of you... if you chose a boy, it's a girl, and vice versa.
This person will be your Rival throughout the rest of the game. You'll have
four battles in all, and each time it'll get markedly more difficult. Gauge
your progress in the game with these fights. If you have a relatively easy
time in trainer battles, you're doing well.
Once you're done, head down to the building to the south. This is Prof.
Birch's Lab. The lab assistant there tells you that Birch is out doing
fieldwork. Leave the Lab and head north to Route 101. As you get near the
route, a kid will tell you there's commotion ahead. Check it out!
On Route 101, Prof. Birch is being harassed by a wild Zigzagoon. He tells you
to search his bag for a Pokémon. There are three choices here, and they will
determine what your initial Pokémon will be. The choices are:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Torchic: Chick Pokémon-- Fire Type
He is the best fire pokemon comparing it to the fire pokemon in this game. He
also turns into a great fighting pokemon with overall well rounded stats.
Weak against gyms: 1 6 7 8
Strong against gyms: 3 5 7
Treecko: Wood Gecko Pokémon-- Grass Type
He is also a great grass pokemon compared to the grass types in the game. All
grass with great Sp. atk and atk. and perfect speed and learns leaf blade!
Weak against gyms: 4 6
Strong against gyms: 1 7 8
Mudkip: Mud Fish-- Water/Ground Type
He is NOT a great water pokemon compared to other water types in this game. He
turns into a great ground pokemon and his only weakness becomes grass.
Weak against gyms: None
Strong against gyms: 1 3 4
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Mudkip, although unpopular, is your best choice, simply because it is a
double threat. Its mix of Ground and Water moves make it a brutal foe. Mudkip
also matches up against early Gyms the best. However, any of the three are
good, and all evolve into powerful Pokémon. Choose one, then go into battle
with the wild Zigzazoon.
When you beat it, Prof. Birch will thank you and take you back to his Lab.
Then he'll tell you to go meet his child on Route 103. To get there, head up
Route 101 to Oldale Town.

This is the first major city you'll run across. All of the big cities in the
game have a Pokémon Center and Pokémon Mart. At the Pokémon Center, you can
rest your tired Pokémon, refilling health and curing all status problems. You
can also store and withdraw Pokémon and get Mail on the PC. For more info on
Pokémon Centers, visit the Basics section of this guide.
As you leave the Pokémon Center, head over to the lady in white standing near
the building to the east. In fact, make sure you always visit every building
and talk to everyone in every town. They'll often give you free Items and TMs
for free. She'll take you up to the Pokémon Mart and give you a Potion as a
promotional Item. Head inside to see what else the store offers.
Once you get your first Poké Ball as a gift, Poké Balls will also become
available at this store, for 200. When you're done at the store, head north
to Route 103.

got an idea, lets follow him. First heal up of course and go to route 116

the guy and he'll tell you to get his goods form the grunt. So continue to
