I did not like Pokémon Emerald.
I’ve been replaying though the Pokémon games for the first time since they came out.
I just finished Gold and started Emerald last week. I was really looking forward to it as I always hear great things about emerald.
But I have not been enjoying it. I feel like I’m constantly under leveled and even when I have a higher level than other Pokémon, I feel weaker.
The map has been a bit annoying going in circles for the first half of the game. I am at the 5th gym now, and decided to drop it and move to gen 4.
I also have not been happy with the team I built. It seems that the move sets I have are not really that good. I’m at level 20-30 and I’m just getting my first good moves for some of my team.

Gen 4 was a lot of fun, probably my favorite lineup in any of the first few generations. Torterra is awesome.
I had a pokémon phase around gen 6/7 including ORAS, and partly to complete dexes I got previous DS games around that time too. Got Pearl/Diamond and Black/White and shared one of each with my sister so we can play in parallel and trade.
I had a blast with black, but pearl... Not so much. It felt like a boring crawl. Mostly because of the terrible pokémon distribution. Seriously, there's a fire-type elite 4 and there are literally not enough fire-types in the game for him to have a complete team, even counting the fire starter! And one game doesn't have any access to dark type until 6th gym or so, while the other has one in a very early area.
And the pokémon that are there feel like they're always the same, in good part because they decided to keep a lot of pokémon exclusively for the post game area.
