Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Tips & Tricks
Duplicate Pokémon & Items in Emerald
1 - Go to Battle Tower and save.
2 - Place a Pokémon into a box on the PC
3 - Save again
4 - Withdraw that Pokémon
5 - Go to the woman on the right who asks if you'd like to enter a Link Multi Battle. Say yes and select 2 Pokémon to use and confirm.
6 - The woman tells you that you have to save. When the first Yes/No box opens, choose Yes.
7 - The game seems to freeze for a second or two then the save option appears again. Choose yes.
8 - Now you'll see the final save message asking if you're sure you want to overwrite the saved data. Turn the game off.
9 - Turn your game back on, the cloned Pokémon is in your team and in the PC. If it was holding an item, the clone has it too.

Find Shinies in Ruby and Sapphire
Alright, well I noticed in Ruby and Sapphire, it was much easier for me to breed Pokémon with high IVs, find them in the wild, get rarer items from Zigzagoon's Pick Up, and encounter shinies more often.

Basically what I do in Ruby or Sapphire is focus on EV training. I stay in a specific area, say Mt. Pyre to battle Duskull to boost defense. Within 3-5 hours if you don't turn off your system and play right through, fighting Duskull, you should encounter a shiny. To make your effort even more productive, make sure you have a lot of Zigzagoon on your team so you can get free Nuggets, Ultra Ball, Full Restores, and other expensive and very useful items.

The method is really just exhausting probability, but it's worked for me 3 times (duskull, nuzleaf, wingull) and a friend of mine as well. If you're looking for a specific Pokémon, be sure to check in an area they appear often. For instance, if you want a shiny Duskull, go to Mt. Pyre. If you want a shiny Whismur, go to Rustsurf Tunnel since that's all you'll encounter there.

In the end, as long as you're in Ruby or Sapphire, you'll encounter a shiny Pokémon. And of course all the free, rare Pick Up items and EV training mean you kill 3 birds with 1 stone.

Rustboro Event
In Pokémon Emerald, there is a man in Rustboro who wants you to say a secret word to make his daughter smile. In order to do this, you need to use a special online word generator which can be found at http://www.filb.de/?site=games/gba/emerald/word - simply type in your trainer ID and customize your own design which can be used as a PC box background.
