So before I start on this review, it should be noted that this is only the second poke-mon game I've ever played, my only other experience being with the more recent Poke-mon Platinum for comparison. So for starters, the graphics on this are actually very good, for an old game boy color game, I would say they're almost as good as the later (newer) games. The games sound is pretty good as well, though here are times when it feels like the music cuts out for a tad bit too long, when a poke-mon comes out and gives it's sound. Addictiveness if max, how can anyone not get hooked on it? Story and depth are both nice, it;s you pretty standard far, from what of it I experienced thus far, it's the same thing that's used in all the games, sine it's pretty much the same thing, only with locations or names, or other smaller details changed for each game. Despite that it still feels like a fresh new game. The lowest part for me is the difficulty, it's a lot higher than I was expecting coming off of Platinum. For me, it's not the actually battles that's the hardest part, but being able to afford anything in the game. The amount of Poke-dollars, or whatever else the in game currency is called , that you get from trainer and gym battles is quite low, and you don't get  any from wild poke-battles. I find myself stuck in the position of needing to buy  poke-balls but not being able to afford any due to getting so little from the battles. Other than that I've only encountered two other things that detract from the game, the biggest is the time settings, they don't work unless you leave the game running. Every time I go into the game I have to manually set the time and day, and at the rate it's going it'll remain night time there for a very long time, unless I 'cheat' and set it to different time that what it is in RL. So that kind of messes the game up a bit, and is the biggest thing for me. The final thing is that sometimes when trying to load the game save, it'll give a message saying that this game was designed to be run on game boy color. But usually re-loading it again will fix that.

 Nice review! "How could anyone not get hooked?" I totally agree! XD classic game!

I think you should try to evaluate the game based off of each category. At least, that is how I did it.

Not bad. You could try writing each category in seperate paragraphs, and break them down that way. Keep the reviews coming.

Eirinn : You took the big improvement.
But, as a minor improvement, the last two comments of your review were most likely caused by the emulator, not by the game.

I don't follow. What are you talking about?
