i just started breeding on emerald and was wondering what is a good poke to start with and long does it take to details decent parents
I would try to start with a Magikarp since they hatch really fast, has no Egg Moves, so you don't have to worry about that, but when you turn it into Gyarados, it has every Egg Move that Bagon can learn. You can get your practice in, and get it ready for any Bagon you'd want. That's all IMO though.

Any tips on finding Latios for the first time?
Does it change location after a battle, or when you arrive to a new route/town?
In that case, should I stay on one route and battle random pokemon until I run into Latios?
Thanks in advance.
I don't remember who posted this, but I wish I knew about it before I got my Latios.
It changes every time you enter a building / ruin / secret base / cave, and when you move between routes / towns.
For the best way to get Latios/Latias, just Save in a patch of grass somewhere, then run in the Grass until a wild Pokemon appears. If it's not the Lati, just SR until it shows up.

i know it sounds kinda n00by but where can i find a water stone in emarald?
To get the Water Stone, just get a Pokemon with the move
"Theif" or
"Covet", and a Pokemon that can Surf / Dive, then go to an underwater grass patch until you find a Clamperl. Use one of those moves, making sure you aren't holding any items, and eventually you will get a Blue Shard. Take that Blue Shard to the collector on the route between Lilycove and Mossdeep City. If you go to Mossdeep, just Surf to the left and stay pretty high north and keep going left until you see a house on the water(shallow part). That's the Collector's house.
I'll try finding a map for you.
Blue Shard - Water Stone - Clamperl
Green Shard - Leaf Stone - Relicanth
Red Stone - Fire Stone - Corsola
Yellow Stone - Thunder Stone - Chinchou
I hope that helped.
Edit: Added a few more Shard info
Also, just checked in my Emerald, the house is really close to Mossdeep. Directly West and North of there.
