Twitter user Dan Dangond made the discovery after asking ChatGPT-4 to actually play the Pokemon Emerald game, per a GameSpot report.

Dangond has posted screenshots of the text-based adventure game on his Twitter account. One of the screenshots can be seen below.

Pokemon Emerald
Released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004 in Japan and in 2005 internationally, Pokemon Emerald is the third version of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Like previous games in the series, the player takes on the role of a Pokemon trainer exploring the Hoenn region.
The main goal of the player is to conquer eight Pokemon Gyms. Only once this has been accomplished can the player challenge a group of elite-level trainers known as the Elite Four. The player must also stop two criminal organizations who are targeting to exploit a legendary Pokemon’s power for selfish gains.
What differs Pokemon Emerald from Ruby and Sapphire is that it features Pokemon from Pokemon Gold and Silver that are not available in Ruby and Sapphire.
