Previously, the player could only catch Latios in Ruby and Latias in Sapphire. The player can also choose which running Legendary Pokémon to catch ( Latios or Latias). In Emerald, both Legendary Pokémon can be caught in separate caverns after defeating the Elite Four. In Ruby, the player could only capture Groudon, while in Sapphire, the player could only catch Kyogre. Some Pokémon locations have been changed as well.Unlike the previous games, both Team Aqua and Team Magma appeared equally as often in Pokémon Emerald.Also, the layout of the gyms themselves were altered significantly.

Some routes and areas have also been redesigned with different layouts and more trainers to allow for more random 2-on-2 battles. For instance, both Brendan and May now have green outfits. The game includes many graphical changes.Also, within battle, Pokémon sprites are animated similarly to Crystal, which are usually stationary in its predecessors. After the Elite Four is defeated, the Gym Leaders may also demand a 2-on-2 rematch with the player. Paired trainers will also challenge the player if the player gets too close to them as well. 2-on-2 battles are now more sporadic, with two separate trainers coming together to battle as a pair. In Ruby and Sapphire, 2-on-2 battles were clearly marked, and those trainers would not challenge the player unless the player turned and talked to them. Emerald introduces several changes in battling.While Emerald's relation to Ruby and Sapphire is similar to that of Pokémon Yellow to Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon Crystal to Pokémon Gold and Silver, it also adds much more dramatic changes and revamps than its two predecessors.Latios and Latias can later be found roaming across Hoenn. A little later, the player receives a phone call, whereupon he or she will be allowed to enter the Battle Frontier through the S.S Tidal. A news bulletin appears and says that a colored Pokémon is in flight through Hoenn. Once the player defeats the Elite Four, Norman gives the player the S.S. In the beginning there is 3 Pokémon to choose: Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip. The player must awaken the legendary Pokémon Rayquaza, after which it will swoop down and force the two combatants to stop, returning Hoenn to normal. The two Pokémon do not obey either team and begin fighting, causing the weather to alternate between sunshine and rain. Instead of one team awakening a legendary Pokémon, both teams succeed in each awakening a legendary Pokémon: Groudon and Kyogre.

The main antagonists that the player faces are Team Magma and Team Aqua, which differs from Ruby and Sapphire in which one team was the antagonist and the other was the protagonist, trying to stop the other team. The game follows the same storyline as Ruby and Sapphire, through it adds new elements such as the Battle Frontier, where the player can enter a variety of areas with different Pokémon competitions. The National Pokédex is also available without trading. Like Ruby and Sapphire, the game features the third generation Pokémon, but also adds some second generation Pokémon that were once limited to Pokémon Colosseum.
