Pokémon Emerald has some special spot in my heart, because gen 3 has my favorite pokemon design of all time (haven't played Gen 6 and 7 yet, though). Every gen has good and bad design, but gen 3 has many of my favorite ones.

Easy to notice that this is my only team where i don't use my starter, which is was Torchic...actually, i consider Ralts my starter in Gen 3, i did my best to get Gardevoir as soon as possible, because i love psychic pokémon and Gardevoir has such an elegant design, also, the move Psychic hurts a lot.

Another thing to notice is WOW, many dragons, in this gen is when dragons started to be less rare, but not less cool, and being Rayquaza and Flygon dual types helped a lot to put both in my team. Flygon's earthquakes helped me a lot <3

I really like the other legendaries from this gen too, and the story was great, way better than the first ones, team magma/aqua are the best enemies of all.
