Description So Pokemon's Emerald Version has this match call system that allows you to receive phone calls from people you've faced who want to go down in flames again. The problem is, these people call at entirely the wrong times . . .

. . . like when the heads of Team Aqua and Team Magma have awakened a pair of legendary ancient sleepers who have started sending Nature amok and it's up to you to save the world from devolving weather patterns. Seriously.

For those of you who can't read my chicken scratch:

Panel 1
Archie: NOOOO! Kyogre, how could you betray my LOVE?!
Maxie: There's no time for this! Nature's falling apart, dude!

Panel 2
Maxie: Quickly! To Sootopolis!
*splash splash splash*

Panel 3
Trainer: .oO(Wow, I'd better try and do something to help Nature right itself again. Maybe I could--)

Panel 4
Trainer's PokeNavi (cell phone, etc.) starts ringing

Panel 5
Trainer: Uh, hi, this is really a bad time; can I--
Caller: HI!

Panel 6
Caller: I just lost another battle. This just burns me up! What about you?
Trainer: I'm kinda busy SAVING THE WORLD HERE!!

Maybe I'll ink/color it at some point.

LOL something similar happened to me in Soul silver. I was aproaching Lugia when my mom called.

"Yeah, hi, Mom ... can I call you back? It's just that I'm creeping up on this enormous thing that can flatten houses with a flap of its wings and ... no, no, this doesn't mean I don't love you! Why would you even think ... No, I totally appreciate that you've been saving my winnings for ... Mom, this really isn't the time to ... okay, uh ... *kssshshshsh* you're breaking up on me ..."

I know! At random times, they call you...
That happened to me as well.

In some ways, I think it's done on a timer and pops up if you walk a bit after too much time being idle.

Which would make it a severely annoying version of a screensaver.

I remember when I was surfing around Route 125 to find the diving spot that led to Marine Cave after I first beat the Elite Four, some Tuber just randomly gave me a call. Of course, that's not as much as when Groudon and Kyogre are both out in the open just before you get to Sootopolis.

I suppose it is a severely annoying version of a screensaver.
The beeping gets on your nerves sometimes.
