Emulators are not piracy, but free roms are. A rom you pay for is still piracy because the money you put towards it doesn't go to the company. I pirate games, but very rarely (Only if not much money in my bank or wallet at the time).
Pokemon :u Some people can actually remember all the pokemon names, type and their name in another language off the top of their head at the age of 13 That kind of ability could have aced him in his/her's history class and spelling test if it wasn't used on remembering the names of fictional critters.
So say a game is multiplatform and I own a console copy. Your telling me its not piracy to torrent the pc version?
Technically, it would be piracy to torrent the PC version even if they were [almost] exactly identical.
Emulators and roms are only piracy if you don't own the game system and game. I own a Gameboy Advance and Pokemon Yellow, so it is perfectly legal to play that on my phone using an emulator app.
