>Kyogre and Latias are in the dex before Groudon and Latios
>Team Magma grunt's lines are literally copied from Team Aqua's
>Team Magma's HQ is likewise a pirate hideout, you either play Emerald or the evil team lair is clearly designed for Team Aqua
>also most of the "events" where you find the villains are for Team Aqua, even those related with land have an excuse (they are in the volcano to STOP it) while you have stupid stuff like Team Magma in the oceanim museum. Emerald even has to make up an a new event in Mossdeep Spacecenter to give Team Magma something
>same about where you find the legendary, Kyogre is always found in Seafloor Cavern, while they had to make a new place for Groudon in Emerald
Team Magma and Groudon just make no fucking sense in any game except in Emerald, Hoenn's games clearly use Sapphire version as basis.
