Challenging for first time game players

I bought this game a couple of years ago and it was pretty challenging to me at first since I was new t playing this type of video game. But when I went to start the game over again it was very simple to get through in just a couple of days. The only part that is still challenging is completing the Pokedex because of all the special event only pokemon like Jirachi, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Mew and the rest. You have to be able to get to the events to get them or use a cheat which I don't like doing. But all in all you definately get your money's worth for this game. Also since the Gameboy Advance games are going by the wayside you can only get a replacement game over the internet or in some select stores. This makes it very hard if you lose or break your game to get a new one. Plus most people want to keep up with the new gaming technology so they are buying Nintendo DS games more frequently now so it is very hard to trade your Pokemon so that they can evolve like Graveller to Golem. But I solved this problem by migrating these Pokemon to my Pearl game for the DS and then trading them which allows them to evolve anyway. So my suggestion is if you are going to have games like Pokemon Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Leafgreen, and Firered then have Pokemon Diamond or Pearl and a DS as well.
