They DO NOT call you in GSC. However, in Emerald, yes, they do call you, but not much. You have to check you're PokeNav for the symbol that means they want to battle.POKErUsAm said:yea, they call you up just like in g/s/c. it is pretty cool.
WhiteWizard42 said:and, in my opinion, this game was easier than ruby/sapphire, because (since you're fighting both Teams) you have a lot more training at one constant level. also, as a wonderful bonus, you don't have to fight and catch a legendary poke before you even get to beat the E4, so you can take your time and catch the best one possible. and it has all sorts of cool features, especially if you're interested in breeding.
