Well, I messed up pretty badly in emerald, so I'm starting over. Can someone suggest which starter to pick? I used mudkip last time, but I'm thinking about treeko.
 
Well I would pick either Mudkip or Torchic. Mudkip is a good choice becuse it evolves into a superpowerful ground pokemon its good against water and fire and also good against steel and electric and is immune to electric attacks. Torchic on the other hand in emerald is very poweful as well and can demolish the elite 4 up to wallace so a good pick as well. Treecko isnt bad leaf blade is cool but he is underpowered, although can learn some cool moves via breeding and really gets destroyed by the elite 4. The thing about Treecko is it depends on your battling style if your more defensive and speed trainer pick Treecko, if you just like attack than pick Torchic. However my opinion id pick mudkip he evolves into swampert and can mess with the minds of your opponents it can kill fire,ground, and rock with muddy water or surf; It can demolish electric with earthquake, and beat down grass with ice beam.
 
Swampert. + Curse.

I used Torchic. At the battle frontier, I can't say I'm too pleased with Blaziken...

Ingame, torchic should be very good... should be able to sweep most of the elite 4.
 
Cursepurt is fine.

Swampert @leftovers
adamant

curse
rockslide
eq
surf (STAB)
 
Go with what you like best. Since you chose Mudkip last time, you may want to go with Treecko, which was what you were thinking.

Treecko is pretty bad early on, but once it evolves, Sceptile has an amazing movepool (ex: Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Ariel Ace, Crunch).
 
Mudkip goes through the game best. Then treecko. Then torchic.

Sceptile @ leftovers
modest nature

leaf blade
t-punch
leech seed
sub/crunch (crunch if you don't care about subseeding)

Blaziken can't sweep but the first e4 member in emerald, and barely doing that. Sceptile takes care of most of them.

IMO you should go with the wood gecko, treecko........

Not sure if it's possible to get the moveset you suggested before E4.

If you use Blaziken, all you need is sky uppercut and blaze kick. Switch to boltbeamer when you're facing Blaziken's weaknesses, and a winner is you.

I tried to use sceptile, but it isn't particularly effective against anything in the elite4. Maybe the Kingdra.
 
Wow! it looks like I am the only one who knows How to rate a Swampert

Ehh I'm not a fan of cursepert ingame. There are other options. (Of course, I'm not saying it doesn't work, thus it's being an option.)
