Here's a question. If I were to purchase Pokemon Leaf Green/Fire Red AND Pokemon Emerald, at what point can I transfer the Pokemon from Leaf Green over to Emerald, then transfer them over to Diamond/Pearl?
I'm asking because I'm wondering if I can easily get the original 3 starter pokemon? Aka, pick one, trade it over to Emerald to hold, then restart the game and do the process two more times, before finally having all 3 on Emerald, enabling me to transfer those three over to Diamond/Pearl, then just starting Leaf Green/Fire Red just to play through. I want to know this because I was pretty anal about getting all the Pokemon when I was younger (got all 151 through multiple play-throughs and the use of a gameshark to get Mew)....back in 6th grade, I'm 20 now, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be just as anal were I to take the plunge, get another DS Lite and get Leaf Green, Emerald, and Pearl all in one purchase.
Also can someone confirm that Emerald has all the pokemon from Ruby/Sapphire since Emerald is essentially the "best" version of the three? Or is it that the starter Pokemon in Emerald are different from Ruby and Sapphire vs. emerald?
Sorry for all the Qs, but I haven't played a Pokemon game since Red and with all this buzz and talk about Diamond/Pearl, I want that sense of nostalgia.
If someone can confirm all of this, I am all over this shit. I'm asking all this also because if I can catch all of them without anyone knowing (besides you CAGs), I'd rather keep it that way =D
