Graphics - 10
Much better and cleaner than the last generation. Though, that's to be expected. No one would leave something unclean. Anyways, this is a perfect ten. They're clean, pretty, and even their moves have nice graphics when they use them. Very nice. Although, it would be cool if Pokémon reacted to hits or moves they used, but that's just me. Like, if Psychic type uses something, they put their fingers on their head and concentrate or something. But, again, this is gen 3. No big deal.
Sound - 9
Many pieces of music in this game are memorable. The Pokémon sounds are nice. T'would be cool if Pokémon said their actual names, though. (Ma-nec-triccccc!) The sounds are good, though. They aren't bad at all. The sounds for the moves are amazing. Spark, for example. It actually sounds like an electric shock ("Bzt... bzzt... bzzzt...!) Memorable, good sounds, it deserves a 9.
Addictiveness - 7
I'll be honest with you, it gets irritating if you mess up or don't do what you intended to do. Otherwise, this game is just amazing. You just want to play around, fight almost everyone. Again, it's not fun if someone messes you up. (MAY. NEVER STOP ME FROM GETTING DOUBLE KICK AGAIN.) You can fix it, but there are a lot of cases in which, if you're dedicated, you have to reset your game. (aka. Me.)
Story - 7
Standard Pokémon game: 10 year old with only a Mom goes around, beating people about twice his age and destroying a gang along the way. Except, this time, it's a bit different. Not only does he have Mommy's support, he's got Daddy! And, guess what, he gets to beat 2 gangs! Since it's not really an original set-up, I kind of reduced the score, but due to the added features AND the fact that I'm a sucker for Pokémon games, I gave this a straight-up 7.
Depth - 6
A six. Honestly, after you beat the main game and the Elite Four, the only things left to do is to catch some other legendary Pokémon. The game does take a while to beat, though, and it offers a lot to do. It takes strategy and skill, and you need to think to get through the game. It's pretty easy, though, and it doesn't offer much after the Elite Four, unless you want to level your Pokémon up some more, keep challenging the Elite Four, or just catch the legendary Pokémon that are available. It deserves a six.
Difficulty - 5
Yep. Five. This game is the best, but really, it's just too easy. It has its moments, in which it's just hard to get past. But in all honesty, I think, for a fairly average person, it's easy. It can be hard, or just straight up irritating, which gives it its five rating. The game is easy as long as you don't choose weak Pokémon, but many, MANY people can tell what's weak and what isn't. So, yeah.
Thanks for reading my first review. It was a pleasure writing it. Sorry if I offended anyone in my review, I may have been harsh in some places. It's my first, so, ha ha. Again, thank you! ~GB
