Pokéballs are very cheap, allowing for easier catching of Pokémon.

You can catch the first three generations of Pokémon all in the wild, allowing a better variety of choices for your team, and the option to recruit powerful Pokémon that werent obtainable in the vanilla game, such as the original starters.

Anti-Frustration Features: The game is friendly to players on occasions:.

Even the very first Pokémon you'll encounter, a level 2 Zigzagoon, was given a significant buff with a more competitive moveset.

Adaptational Badass: One of the signature changes in Crystal & Blue Kaizo, and Emerald Kaizo doesn't disappoint as well.

Sure, Pokémon that know Explosion or Self-Destruct do exist in the game (Electrode, Golem, and in the late game, Wailord), but it's usually not a common sight in enemy team/encounters. Fortunately, it's not as common as it is in Crystal Kaizo or Blue Kaizo.

Action Bomb: Subverted, to a certain degree.As for the roaming Legendaries (such as Latios & Latias & a few others), all of them are level 100, which in theory, should not be an issue in post game since by then, you should have a team that can easily handle them. Certain Legendary Pokémon can be obtained in Emerald Kaizo by trading one of those exclusive Pokémon. Unlike Blue Kaizo or Crystal Kaizo, you most likely will have to play in the post-game to see & have a chance to encounter all 386 Pokémon.

Usually by the Sootopolis City gym, you'll have seen 330+ Pokémon, and by the time you reach the Elite Four in Ever Grande City, assuming you haven't missed any Pokémon Trainer battles (in most routes, nigh impossible due to Kaizo), you'll have maybe 10 Pokémon remaining (376/386), all of them special legendaries.

100% Completion: You can obtain all 386 Pokémon in the game, although just like in vanilla Emerald, some are reserved for the post game only, such as Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and more, after meeting certain criteria.
