Would you recommend Pokemon Emerald on the GBA? Total Pokemon newbie, here.

Yeah, so I’ve never played a Pokemon game in my life, but I do have access to a GBA and am wondering if Pokemon Emerald would be a good game to play.

My kids(ages 7 and 9) collect the Pokemon cards, but they don’t play the card game at all. They collect for fun and for the fun of trading with each other.

I have heard that three games came out on GBA. Ruby/Sapphire, which is some kind of “same game but different” thing and then Emerald…which is like the joined/remixed version or something.

Again, I’ve never played a Pokemon game in my life, though I have played a huge amount of JRPG games.

Should I play it?

The lil’wrekker says Pokemon Emerald is fun and a great beginning Pokemon game to play.
