Pokemon emerald is my favorite. I just recently realized emerald and leaf green somehow disappeared from my collection and had to repurchase them. That was not cheap...
I recently did the opposite, I sold my Emerald and Blue for a decent price, which helped fund my second hand new 3DS. I don't really care for the cartridges as long as I can play the games, and I feel no guilt for playing roms for games that are no longer being produced :).
I do like seeing large collections of other people, but I don't have the same satisfaction from that compared to what it would cost. (I say quite hypocritically, as I have a larger than rational LEGO collection including tonnes of Bionicle sets that I will never let go for any price)
Haha! Hope you got at least 100 usd for the emerald.
It’s odd what we find materially important. It was such a part of my childhood I just had to have it. How stupid we were to give up each console for the next one without thinking we might want to go back one day.
If you ever want Emerald with some quality of life improvements (e.g. HMs not being necessary to actually teach; you can use them in the overworld as long as anyone in your party can learn whichever move), I'd highly suggest the Emerald Seaglass ROM hack.
I'm mainly bringing it up because the art is absolutely gorgeous. So if you ever want to dive into Emerald again, give it a shot.
You can play it on a variety of GBA emulators, so it's pretty simple to get running. A few good Android ones, I believe there's one called Delta on iOS, and there are several for most desktop OSes (included Linux).
Oooh, this sounds neat! I'm not who you were replying to, but I wanted to thank you for mentioning the Emerald Sea glass ROM hack! I hadn't yet heard of it and I'm looking forward to checking it out.
