The main goal of the player is to conquer eight Pokemon Gyms. Only once this has been accomplished can the player challenge a group of elite-level trainers known as the Elite Four. The player must also stop two criminal organizations who are targeting to exploit a legendary Pokemon's power for selfish gains.

What differs Pokemon Emerald from Ruby and Sapphire is that it features Pokemon from Pokemon Gold and Silver that are not available in Ruby and Sapphire.
