how many?

[Damage]

So i was wondering how many pokemon you can catch in emerald without trading or cheating. The reason is i dont know anyone that plays gen three anymore and i only have one gameboy and game and cant afford to get more. I know ill never be able to fill my pokedex but i would like to know how close i can get. Thank you!

You'd have to look at Serebii or some other source to find out if each Pokémon is obtainable in Emerald.

I recommend doing that only after you think you got all the ones available.
