 The Story Continues ... Pokemon Emerald is storming onto the Nintendo DS with a vengeance. The third adventure to take place in the Hoenn region, Pokemon Emerald features all-new areas and exciting new plot twists. The story begins when your character, a young aspiring Pokemon Trainer, moves to Littleroot Town. Crammed amid a truckload of boxes, our hero enters the foreign neighborhood eager to explore. Shortly into your journey a challenge arises and you must choose from three Pokemon -- Torchic, Mudkip or Treecko -- and begin a quest to become the world s best Pokemon Trainer. Veterans of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire will recognize a lot of the locations in Pokemon Emerald, but many elements within the game have changed, the most exciting of which is the addition of the Battle Frontier. The locations and frequency of Pokemon are different, and you may even encounter a new Gym Leader in your journeys.
