Yeah, but i always make sure I level up my characters and master as many needful materia's (counterattack, mime, 2xcut) as I can.
I also always do chocobobreeding by myself. I don't know what the stats are from the golden chocobo you'll receive for beating Emerald though.

I had a small question...when going after the huge materia in Rocket Town, you have to climb up the rocket, but you'll have to fight Rude again. My characters were so strong and well equipped with countermateria's that I was not able to steal from Rude....I already stole the Ziedrich from him earlier in the game...if I was able to steal at that point on the rocket in the fight with Rude, what item would I steal from him? Another Ziedrich?

For some reason I alwasy forget to put away those counterattack materia's every time I fight to them.
