View source for Pokémon Emerald beta

Unlike other Pokémon games, [[Version|third version games]] rarely contain prototype information because they are based on an already existing game. {{game|Emerald}} is no exception. 

Very little was changed in relation to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, with the exception of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and storyline tweaks to better include the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}. While there is no evidence to suggest the storyline was changed seriously, there is evidence that the Battle Frontier was changed slightly in various stages of development; however, these changes are minor and strictly relate almost entirely to building placements and static objects, such as fences.

==New music==
In addition to the tracks present in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} (including the upconverted music from [[Generation II]]), {{v2|Emerald}} contains the tracks from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} alongside its own.

==Special Area==
A new, empty header included after the empty [[Kanto]] and [[Sevii Islands]] ones is named "Special Area". There is no actual information on what would have been included in this area, so it might have been intended merely to be a name for an event. This is probably the same case with the map header named 'SPECIAL' in [[Generation II]] with index number 0.
