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.
Much like the games it was based on, the player controls a Pokémon trainer, whose general goal is to traverse around the Hoenn region and conquer a series of eight Pokémon gyms to earn eight Gym Badges and then take on the Elite Four, defeat the Pokémon League Champion and succeed him/her.
The game is an enhanced remake of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, adding to the third generation of Pokémon games. It features the Dragon/ Flying-type Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza on the cover. Pokémon Emerald is a title in the Pokémon series of video games.
