How to Unlock the Johto Region on Pokemon Emerald

With the introduction of new versions, new regions are also introduced. Kanto corresponds to Red, Blue and Yellow, and Johto corresponds to Gold, Silver and Crystal. Hoenn corresponds to Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, and Sinnoh corresponds to Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. To collect every Pokemon available, you need to gain access to every region. However, it could be problematic because access to regions are local to their respective versions.
