Line 27:
* [[Apocalypse How]]: The weather trio starts as an in progress Class 0, but stated that if it is not stopped, will become a Class 4 (Groudon bringing harsh heavy everlasting sun, leaving desert wildlife, or Kyogre flooding the world, which allows purely aquatic life to remain).
* [[Bag of Spilling]]: This generation is the only one to be incompatible with previous generations, which is one among various reasons behind the hatedom towards these games.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]:
** A replica of Submarine Explorer 1 can be seen in the museum when you first visit it.
** There's one that may go unnoticed in ''Emerald'' thanks to how subtle it is. Thanks to the Match Call feature, trainers that you register will randomly call you for stuff that never really matters. At one point, your rival calls and remarks on seeing a flying, green Pokémon in the sky. Most players just take it to be another silly adventure. But when Groudon and Kyogre are clashing in Sootopolis City and Wallace asks you where one might find Rayquaza, the big green, flying legendary Pokémon, suddenly your rival's phone call seems a little more useful.
** Similarly, a couple in Lilycove mentions they are vacationing there and were excited because the first Pokémon they saw was a dragon flying through the sky.
** There's also a man in Fortree City who remarks on seeing a gigantic green dragon.
*** Even funnier after you manage to capture/defeat Rayquaza: He will ask "By the way, you smell singed. Were you at a volcano or something?"
Line 53:
** The internal batteries that handled clock-based events in the initial ''Ruby and Sapphire'' weren't the longest lived either, so there was a good chance they would fail (with the same effects as the Berry glitch), and unlike the Berry glitch, as it is a hardware issue and not a software one, it can't be fixed. Fortunately, unlike ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]'', the battery isn't used to retain save data as well (which is stored using flash memory; ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'' don't have batteries at all), so the game can still be played; just without the time-based events.
** And of course, the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pomeg_glitch Pomeg Berry glitch] in ''Emerald''.
** While still having bugs; [[Game Freak]] was able to perform much more bug-testing with their games starting with R/S/E (After the profits from gen I and II made up for the loss of Gen I's troubled production) And it shows.
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: Dewford's trendy things are ''very'' abusable.
* [[
* [[Just Add Water]]: the Pokéblocks.
* [[Large Ham]]: "GORGE your eyes on this! It's a SILK SCARF!!!!"
Line 74:
* [[Sidequest]]: New Mauville. Also, the Pokémon Contests, which were first introduced in this generation.
* [[Tree-Top Town]]: Fortree City, naturally.
* [[Under the Sea]]: With HM08 (Dive), a feature that didn't return until ''[[Pokémon Black and White|Black and White]]''.
* [[Wasted Song]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRsUBDLTrZ0 Maxie/Archie Boss Battle theme] is over a minute long and really impressive sounding, but only plays during the rather short, pathetic fights against Maxie and Archie.
** Not to mention [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5d75MwT8Ow Deoxys' battle theme], which only plays when you encounter Deoxys via a difficult-to-attend/get Nintendo event.
