I AM EXCITED FOR YOU. Do update as you go through the game and stuff! I am a huge nerd for the Hoenn games especially, even if fandom hates them for reasons I have never understood.
I still play my Emerald occasionally, although there's not much left to do as I've completed the Hoenn Pokedex and beat the game and all. But it is a permanent fixture in the bottom of my DS regardless, and I still have a huge soft spot for Hoenn and just... the whole plot, haha. I recently replayed Sapphire (used only a Gardevoir for all my battles), picked the male protagonist for a change, and was intrigued by how the dialogue and attitude of your rival changes based on your/their gender.
