This would be my first review on the Vizzed website so don't expect me to be a natural at this!

When you think of Pokemon you easily think of "Pikachu", "Team Rocket", and "Gotta Catch'em All!!" In the video game Pokemon Fuligin, a Pokemon Fire Red hack; almost all of those apply to this game. While it offers a unique way of telling a Pokemon Journey; it has some faults that make the game feel almost worthless, incomplete, and just downright frustrating. Now unto the review of each category of Graphics, Sound, Addictiveness, Story, Depth, and Difficulty.

Graphics- Pokemon Fuligin has some pretty good graphics compared to other pokemon games I've played in the past or recently on Vizzed. When I enter a volcano area where all the Fire pokemon are, the game actually attempts to simulate what the inside of a volcano would look like if all the lava was drained. The game uses a lot of Rain animation that I've noticed periodically when I'm either on land or sea. This gives the game of an added realism to game instead of the bland shiny, lightfilled sky that most Pokemon games have. There is however a problem with the Map of the Region as the you can sometimes never figure out where you are going. This can also be irritating when your trying to capture all the Pokemon as the Pokedex still uses the Fire Red data locations, which the hacker didn't update when making the Hack. Once you figure out the Routes and compare Pokemon of similar routes, you can eventually find where most if not all the Pokemon are.Overall I rank the Graphics a 9.

Sound- Pokemon Fuligin like the other past Pokemon games before it has the same happy, fun filled music everytime your out on those numberous Routes, Towns, and Cities. The only time the music changes is when your battling Pokemon or your in a cave. Don't expect anything epic, blood pumping music; just some more of the same old Pokemon music. Overall I rank the Sound an 8.

Addictiveness- Pokemon Fuligin like the other past Pokemon games is quite Addicting. You will enjoy trying to capture the countless Pokemon that Pokemon Fuligin has in its data base. It can become quite addicting trying to level all your Pokemon to max level, making them learn all the attacks that they can learn, and the added joy you can get defeating the same Trainers can become fun at first, but after the 15th defeat it can become quite boring in your grind for more EXP and Money. Also there are a lot of Pokemon on some routes, so if you want to get a specific Pokemon (lets use Togepi as an example), you're going to have to fight a lot of other Pokemon before Togepi appears (an even then you might not like the Gender so you try again.) Overall I rank the Addictiveness a 9.

Story- Pokemon Fuligin unlike the other past Pokemon games has a unique story. It first starts out with you a young Pokemon trainer and his older brother getting their first Pokemon from Professor Oak, leaving their hometown, and setting off to battle and conquor the 8 Gym Leaders, the Elite 4, and the Champion; to become the Pokemon Champion. It starts out similar to the past Pokemon games where you defeat the Gym Leaders to collect Badgers. After spotting your brother however, trying to steal a Truck; your brother and you are captured by the police and thrown in jail. After defeating the Warden and getting the HM01 (Cut) as a reward; you and your brother make it out of prison and he insists that you should join Team Rocket with him. After defeating more Gym Leaders, Earning More Badges, and More Money; you arrive at Team Rocket's headquarters. Upon defeating all the Rockets and their leader Giovannte, you and your brother become full members of Team Rocket. Giovannte then sends you out on some missions; ranging from Kicking the Pokemon Zapados out the Powerplant, stealing Sableye from the Head Maiden in the Ghost Tower, and the Acient Amber that can be used to get Arodactyle; you progress up the ranks of team Rocket and earn the respect of the other Rocket members. After Saving Giovannte from a trap that involves the Champion Lance; Giovannte promotes you and your brother to Rocket Administrators. However after that happens a Meteor falls to the Earth killing a nearby town. Because you are close by, you investigate the damage and uncover a black marble like triangle. Upon interacting with the triangle, the Pokemon Deoxys appears and thanks you for breaking him out of prison. Deoxys then tells you that he plans to conquor the human race and decides to thank you by not killing you. After some more traveling and battles you come upon Deoxys trying to conquor another town. When the residents rebel against Deoxys plans, he kills the entire town (except for Nurse Joy and a Chansey) turning the town into a Ghost town. Eventaully you come across your brother who tells you that Giovannte wants you and your brother to meet him at the Rocket Warehouse; but before you can meet up with Giovannte you and your brother battle each other to see who is the supperior Rocket Administrator. After beating your brother, both of you make your way to meet Giovannte, who tells you that he has genetically engineered the Pokemon Mewtwo. Your brother then tells Giovannte that its wrong to create Pokemon and in his fury, Giovannte battles you. You defeat Giovannte; but Mewtwo becomes annoyed and decides that Humanity should be killed; so he kills your brother and flees with Giovannte running close behind trying to keep Mewtwo under control. Eventually you make your way to the final Pokemon Gym but you find that Deoxys and Mewtwo are battling each other. You, Giovannte, Professor Oak (who happens to be the Final Gym Leader), 3 other Rockets, and a couple of townspeople watch the battle in horror at how destructive it is becoming. Eventually Giovannte makes a fools choice and comes between Mewtwo and Deoxys, and ends up dying from the attack. As a result Deoxys runs away and Mewtwo follows behind. Professor Oak then approchs you and expresses his disappointment that you became a Rocket and tells you that he expects you to meet him for the final gym badge. But before you can leave, the other Rockets then proclaim you the LEADER OF TEAM ROCKET!! You defeat Professor Oak and you make your way to the Elite 4. At the town before Victory Road, another Rocket gives you the other 2 Pokemon Starters, saying that she robbed Professor Oak when he wasn't looking. You clear Victory Road, Defeat the Elite 4, and face off against Lance who is now a lot stronger. After a tough battle, you defeat Lance and the same Rocket who gave you the stolen Pokemon congradulates you on the victory and your Pokemon are uploaded into the Hall of Fame. I give the story a 10.

Depth- There is quite a lot of depth in Pokemon Fuligin. All the Legendaries from Generation 1, 2, and 3 are capturable; so anyone who wants all the Legendaries will not be disappointed. In fact you can capture more then 1 certain Legendaries (6 Rayquasas anyone?) So far most of the Pokemon are captureable. Only Drowzee, Azurmill, and some other pokemon I have yet to find, but I assume that they are somewhere. You can also collect more then 1 Masterballs as you can trade Rare Candies for Masterballs in one area or you can get an iffinite supply of Masterballs in another area without trading of Rare Candies. Overall I give the Depth a 9.

Difficulty- Pokemon Fuligin is quite difficult compared to most Pokemon Games. The designed made the game that required you to cross patches of grass on your way to another town, forcing you to fight Wild Pokemon. The Trainers can sometimes be challenging, but nothing that you shouldn't stress over. The Gym Leaders, Elite 4, and Lance can be quite difficult if you don't grind your Pokemon to a good level. Also the Prison Warden (or as I call him the Death Warden) can destory you game if you lose to him, so remember to F2 save when you do get sent to prison before you face him. Overall I give the Difficulty a 9.

In my closing arguements, Pokemon Fuligin should be given a look, if not at least a playthrough. You can capture a lot of Pokemon, Face against challenging Gym Leader/Trainers/Elite 4, and has a much better story then other Pokemon Games. The only downside is the Pokedex is not up to date, some minor issues like when you meet Professor Oak, your dead brother happens to still have some dialoge that should have been taken out, and a little bit of cursing/comments about rape keep Pokemon Fuligin from becoming a Great Hack that everyone on Vizzed should at least try.

I hope you enjoy my first review of a game on Vizzed. If you have a question or Problem about my review or what to post a comment please feel free to do so and I'll try my best to answer. Thank You!!
