Summary
- A fan-made Pokemon Emerald interactive map contains over 2,000 icons for completionists to find hidden items, Pokemon, and battles.
- Players can zoom in and mark off icons, serving as a checklist for completing the Pokedex and optional battles.
- There are similar completed maps for Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Crystal.
A dedicated fan of the Pokemon franchise created an interactive map detailing all the major locations, items, and other points of interest across the Hoenn Region in Pokemon Emerald. The map could function well as a tool for dedicated Pokemon players looking to fully complete the game without missing any items, battles, Pokemon, or other major features that would count toward completion.
The third generation of Pokemon is a fan favorite for a multitude of reasons, with players praising the expanded narrative compared to previous games and the diverse selection of Pokemon available in the Hoenn region. Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire debuted on the Game Boy Advance followed by Pokemon Emerald, the third version that includes many different Pokemon and a few new areas to explore.
Now, players have a useful tool at their disposal when playing the game, as Reddit user rainingchain took to the official Pokemon subreddit to share their interactive map of the Hoenn region from Pokemon Emerald. The map, which is available online, contains over 2,000 icons detailing hidden items, Pokemon, trainer battles, locations, and various other important elements across the in-game map.
Pokemon Emerald Interactive Map Is a Useful Tool for Completionists
The interactive map allows users to zoom in and click on each respective icon to detail the specifics of what can be found at each one as well as to mark them off when they find them, serving as a sort of checklist. This would likely make it a bit easier for players looking to not only finish the Pokedex in Pokemon Emerald but also grab every single item and optional trainer battle.
Currently, there is no interactive map for the third generation's other two versions, Ruby and Sapphire, which makes sense considering the fan-favorite status of Pokemon Emerald when it comes to this generation of games. Each Gen 3 title utilizes the same map, taking place in the Hoenn region, but there are some differences in the story, in-game locations and items, and the catalog of Pokemon available.
The website also features similar completed maps for Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Crystal, with others currently undergoing development, and fans can even reportedly upload their save files to track what they have already completed. In any case, while there is no shortage of resources for those looking to do a completionist or even another type of challenge run in a Pokemon game, the interactive map provides an interface that few others do.
