Surprisingly good, despite a discouraging start
Now, oddly enough there aren't any other reviews for this, and this may never be read. Anyway... GRAPHICS: Let's jump in, shall we? This game looks very pleasing, since it has Generation 3 trainer sprites mixed in with Generation 4-quality buildings and other textures. SOUND: The soundtrack is none other than the regular Emerald soundtrack, but this is by no means bad--the creator made sure that the tracks all fit the locations well.ADDICTIVENESS: I found myself strangely caught up in this game due to the more-intriguing-than-an-actual-Pokemon-game story, and the desire to see it through. I was not disappointed, due to the fun combinations you can set up for your team going into the Elite Four.STORY: I mentioned that the story is abnormal for a Pokemon game. This is because there's a bit of a subplot going on that, while not adding anything really at all to the urgency of the plot, it gives that a nice attempt. So I suppose I applaud it for that.DEPTH: Thankfully, the region (Tunod, Donut backwards--perhaps why the game is called Glazed?) is completely unique and original, and presents a fun challenge in every city. I found myself decently wrapped up in the progression of my character, and was quite happy when I'd finally busted through the final battle.DIFFICULTY: The reason this is 6 is due to the fact that the first three Gym Leaders present quite a challenge, and there's not much to grind with. Fortunately, with strategy the first two can be taken down, and the third has an almost broken way of training you up beforehand if you care to use it. After the first three, however, every other boss in the game is a breeze. The only one that presented any sort of challenge was the Champion, but even kings can be overtaken, right?OVERALL: I give this game a 9.3 overall for its decent attempt at a story, fine graphical style, and for giving me a desire to keep playing.Thanks for reading!

Um... Can I say nuetral?
I would not recommend this game, however, I would not dissuade someone from playing. I suppose it's a decent game, allowing you to capture and use all Pokemon up to Arceus, I believe, or 493.
The sad part of this is, I'm only in the forest after the third city/city with first gym. And I can't honestly say that I am overeager to again attempt this game, though I probably will (since I like to see games through). But I am completely and utterly bored and irritated.
The Graphics: Pretty nice, especially the Sinnoh Pokemon. Though I can't say this is perfect as there is a bit of a tile problem.
The Sound: It is, of course, nice, but you know why? Because it's the same soundtrack as the Ruby game it's made after (I think it's Ruby, anyway), and this is annoying.
Addictiveness: And here is the game's main problem, besides the difficulty. For one thing, I absolutely hate the wild Pokemon system and I think it's utter crap. Every freaking 2 steps, the battle theme starts up. It annoys me to no end, though it is a bit nice for grinding, but only for a little while; after a while the wild Pokemon are comparably so low in level to your Pokemon that it's practically impossible to grind. Also, you get bored really fast, such as in the aforementioned Gold Forest. This is due to... well, I'll let ya know in the Difficulty section.
Story: Okay, I'm sorry, but there IS no story, I'm being extremely generous with such a score. I think (as not having any interaction with them...yet) that Team... Steam, I think? will have some important role in which I kick their sorry butts, but that's it. It's about as (no offense) story-oriented as RS.
Depth: I don't have to have gotten through Gold Forest to know the 'depth' of this story: I spend a few days smoking some Gym Leaders (which give you the same TMs as in the original! D:<) and travel through, catch some Pokemon, then beat the E4. Then, though I doubt I'll do this, you can complete the Pokedex, which sho... Read the rest of this Review

Pokemon Quartz --A Real Fake
I suggest getting another version. Because guess what? Today, I played this game, from 2 badges to 7, and began my dive for Quartz Tower Town. BONK! BONK! BONK! (Annoying sound it makes when you run into something)... I couldn't go in. I pressed my 'B' key. It sent me up. I thought I had saved myself... WHAT THE--?! I'm standing on top of the rock-cave-thing. I put on skates desperately. I Speed the game. I Dash with my R.S. And nothing worked. You want to know why? Vizzed did not release the full version of the game, which has to be downloaded (and I'm telling you, after working my butt off all day for 5 badges, this angers me to no end). If I had not spent the past HOUR trying to find info on this desperately, I would have written it off as a glitch and moved onto Marble.
And I know 99.99% of you are going, 'WHY is this guy rambling like a little brat?' And I'm sorry for that. But I had my extreme hopes up for this game, and they came falling down.
Peace... even though you probably want to punch a hole in my review.
