Good choice for some games! I started the series with Pokemon Red and like many kids in the late 90s, I was completely immersed by the world of Pokemon. Gen II solidified the Pokemon games even more for me because of how much they improved the formula.

Now despite this, Pokemon Emerald is actually my favorite Pokemon game of all time. Gen III is in many ways a reset for the series. It strips a lot of functions from previous games but also completely revamps the battle system. I absolutely adore the Hoenn region because it's tropical (I love tropical places..). Also, the soundtrack is amazing and its an OST that I still listen to. I think the reputation of Gen III has actually gotten better over the years as initially, a lot of people didn't like it just for how different it was but now there are plenty of fans.

Have fun with Emerald and hope you enjoy it :)
