I liked playing this game, I loved the graphics which have really come a long way, the graphics are amazing, the Pokémon are great. I really liked this game, although out of ruby, emerald, or sapphire, Emerald became my favorite just because it was slightly better, but nevertheless this game is amazing!
Graphics: The graphics for this game really show that they have come a really long way since the first generation of Pokémon. They look great, I enjoy the character and Pokémon sprites, and battling a Pokémon is just a whole lot more fun and amazing. The graphics are an easy well deserved 10, just awesome.
Sound: The sound is okay, it does provide an atmosphere to the game, which is always a bonus, but it can be a littler irritating from time to time, and it is repetitive, the sound is basically the same as in most other Pokémon games, but I wish the sound was a little changed up and maybe different, it would make the game more interesting. But the music does provide a good feel when playing the game so I gave it an 8 which seems fitting.
Addictiveness: I did play this game whenever I got the chance, but I was never addicted to it as I was addicted to Emerald, this game is great and fun to play, but I just got more enjoyment out of emerald because of the catch-able legendary Pokémon, and the graphics were slightly better. But overall, the sound is decent enough to give a good time, so I gave it an 8.
Story: The story basically stays the same throughout Pokémon, and it never really changes much, you re a young trainer, on your way to become a Pokémon champion and get the eight badges and successfully beat the elite 4 and go to the battle frontier. Nothing really changing much. But aside from the usual game storyline, there are lots of new things to discover, and new Pokémon to find, so it never gets old. I gave the classic storyline a 9 because of how it captures your interest.
Depth: There are many new things, each generation of Pokémon games have to offer, you can fight trainers everywhere, and also complete the pokedex, by catching all of the Pokémon, and also going hunting for the legendary Pokémon in this game, like Groudon. The game has a fair amount of material to offer to keep the game play interesting and maintain maximum challenge. So it does have enough fun stuff to do to keep you occupied, the depth deserves a 9,( I played light platinum and there is so much to do that you will always be occupied with the massive amount of stuff to do and enjoy, including 2 regions in 1 game!)
Difficulty: The game itself is not very complicated to play, and anyone can learn and pick up on it even if they have never played a Pokémon game before. Be that as it may, with the decent amount of material provided the game is fairly easy but gives a good challenge and keeps everything interesting. I beat the game in about 7 days, but now being more familiar with it, I could beat it in 4 or 5. The game is meant for fun and it should be a game where you take the time to enjoy it and do all it has to offer. If you spend a good time training for the gyms and elite 4 the game should be easy, and challenging! This game is awesome, and I am likely to play it again in the near future!! |
