New Pokemon Emerald Version

Pokemon ShinyEmerald Version (North America), Pocket Monster X: Emerald (Japan; ポケットモンスターX：エメラルド Pokettomonsutā X: Emerarudo), or Pokemon: Generation EX (everywhere else), is the new installment to the current (and hopefully while longer) Generation V series of main games. It's main focus is "doing things differently."

Differences from the traditional games
What makes it stand out from all the other games are in a variety of ways. Here they are:
 * It is the first main Pokemon game and Pokemon game remake to not come in pairs or as a sister game.
 * The Wonder Launcher is the only method of using items in-battle, though it's been modified to add fairness.
 * A new level up and evolution mechanic called PokeGrid (Level Grid in the Japanese version) replaces the traditional one which was common for all other main Pokemon games.
 * Some Pokemon now have new evolutions of formes.
 * Realtime Links are interactive scenes that can change the progress of the story plot.
 * The game has multiple endings depending on how the player performs in Realtime Links.
 * The endings determine which Legendary Pokemon the player can obtain post-game. The following are stated:
 * Normal Ending = Jirachi
 * Good Ending = Celebi
 * Bad Ending = Shaymin
 * Worst Ending = Mew
 * Perfect Ending = Victini (knows V-create)
 * Pokemon can use Drives that initiate special abilities. There are 3 levels: Overdrive, Gigadrive, and Teradrive. Drives are earned by defeating Pokemon, though they can only be used if reached 50% HP or under.
 * Each starter Pokemon can now learn their own signature moves through tutoring.
 * The player can now visit other regions via boats.
 * Each Legendary Pokemon now have their own unique entrance sprites.
