    That is the choice I face. I can get one, but not the other. Haven't played either before, sadly. So, what do you thik I should choose? Note: I have 12 hours from the time I post this befre I buy one or the other.
     
    I would say Leaf Green personally, but both are good. I don't think you can really go wrong with Pokémon, so just pick whichever seems better for you. Take a look at the Pokémon in the regions and see which ones you'd prefer to have scampering around, temping you with your Poke Balls. c:
     
    No, I do not, sadly. This is the generation I sadly missed out on. LeafGreen- story wise, is it the same as Blue/Red?
     
    pretty much the same.. but hey, isn't any pokemon game has the same story.. get a badge, screw up a crime organization and face the elite 4 and win.. its always the same

    btw, i played emerald and leaf green they are both good.. and i face that decision too (or meybe my mom will buy me both of them, i don't know yet..)

    but i love leaf green and emerald.. i think leaf green
     
    i'd go emerald just for the chane to get the regi's and i prefer emerald to the fire red leaf green games
     
    hmm yes in emerald there are more legendaries to catch.. forgot to put that
     
    Right, and you can get many Gen 2 and Gen 1 pokes, so more pokes are available in Emerald. Also, the Battle Frontier is pretty great. Well.... and the cloning glitch that goes with it is great as well =0
    I mean, I like emerald better, and it provides the most Dongle pokemon (I think). I'd go for Emerald.
     
    Leafgreen:

    Urban pokemon
    1st gen starters
    More "Bright, and happy" (colours)
    Same as Red/Blue/Yellow, but a lot more of events (islands)

    Emerald:

    Exotic pokemon
    3rd gen starters
    Darker region, but new.
    Alot more chances to catch ledgedaries, and an unique storyline. (If you dont count the badges and stuff) Also alot more things to do, like dive and stuff.

    I like both, Emerald because its different than most games, because Hoenn is an island, and there are new things added" ;p, and Leaf Green, because of the region and i like the original pokemon, plus new thigns have also been added
     
    There is absolutely no comparison here. Emerald gives you so much more than LeafGreen will. It has a better storyline, it has more Pokemon, it is better for breeding, EV training, it has the Battle Frontier, and it has much better Legendaries. It is also the best gateway to the 4th Gen games, if you are interested in them. Personally, Emerald is the best game that has been produced yet.
     
    Both of them have different importances. LeafGreen can get the Kanto Legendaries, Emerald the Hoenn ones.

    I say Emerald in my opinion, you can do more in the Game, including Battle Frontier.
     
    I would pick Emerald. But thats just me because I love Rayquaza. Also in my opionion I think that it is much better than LeafGreen.
     
    i would personally go for emerald
     
    Emerald version it is a fun game to play and is better than leaf green because I own both leaf green and emerald and I prefer emerald.
     
    Emerald. The Battle Frontier gives a new meaning to the game. It gives you something to do after you beat the Elite Four.
