Overall (9.5)

Pokemon Emerald was always my favorite Pokemon game. Parts of the game are annoying, but overall it's a very fun game. The starters are great, you can catch more legendary Pokemon than the previous games, and it actually talks about your dad, unlike most Pokemon games.

Graphics (10)

The graphics in this game are outstanding for a GBA game. The difference between Emerald and the previous Pokemon game, Crystal, is huge.

Sound (8)

I never really liked the music in Pokemon, but Emerald has a pretty good soundtrack. (Unlike the piercing music of Lavender Town in Gen 1) It's different, but still has the same feel as the earlier games.

Addictiveness (10)

I guarantee you will get hooked. This is probably the most addicting game I've ever played. And I mean "sitting at the computer for 8 hours straight" addicting. You will most likely beat the Elite Four in a day or two, especially because you can speed up the game with the space bar.

Story (9)

Pokemon games usually have good stories. Pokemon Emerald is one of my favorites. Instead of there being one group of bad guys, there are two. However, those two hate each other, so they help you fight the other group. You also have a dad in this game. It never even mentions a father in the earlier games, so I'm not sure how the character was born (I have theories but I'm not getting into that). You dad even plays a big role in this game - he is a gym leader. I also love how the Hoenn Region is set up, and that you can catch 7 legendary Pokemon

Depth (8)

It is pretty easy to get to and beat the Elite Four, however there is a lot to do after that. You can go to various new locations and catch new Pokemon, go to the Battle Fronteir, and even rebattle the gym leaders.

Difficulty (5)

This game is pretty easy. There are a lot of good wild Pokemon early in the game, so you can get a strong team early. The Elite Four isn't as difficult as early games, and the gym leaders are rather pathetic. Great for beginners, but not recommended if you are looking for a challenge.

Pokemon Emerald is a great game that I strongly recommend playing. It is a very popular game, and rightly so. It is easy, but very addictive and fun. It has a great story, and there's a lot to do, especially after beating the Elite Four. If you are looking for a fun game, try Pokemon Emerald.

tgags123 : This is 100% accurate.

tgags123 : is this you're first review? I gotta say this is some pretty nice well written stuff here.  What i liked about the review: 1) It's has a good amount of detail and information about the game. 2) the review is at a pretty good length.  3) my main part.  You made this review a Nice short and straight to the point type of review. the best part was how easy it was for me to read it, because you used a really nice format, that made this review, really easy to bypass, and read without no hard or huge block of text. Overall keep up the nice work.  The only tad bit thing I would add from this point, is a little more detail for example you could at least explain some of the differences, and why they are so huge. Overall you did a good job.  This review is getting a 4 out of 5 from me. 

The review is sound in many ways, though it's left lacking a little bit. While yes, the graphics might technically be much better than Crystal's, I want to know more about why you like them so much. I personally like the look of Generation 2 a lot, so if I was someone you wanted to draw in and get me to really pay attention to review, tell me why they're better. There is a good chance that I'll actually agree with you. As Supercrash64 said as well, a little more detail goes a long way. Giving your readers a good feel for the game can help entice them to try some of the games you love. Good work, though!

You did great yet you need more details in this review,and the comparison Pokemon Emerald to the other games in the franchise was OK yet you need to work on that to because they were a little to easy to read I suggest you go deep into the Pokemon games and find details in order to make lots of comparisons and find a few flaws or remarks to the game which i think you did perfectly. Overall you did a good job on making this review and hope to see more from you because you got that talent on making reviews yet you have to get a little deeper in order for you to understand your true talent on making review.Well in this case I think you try to make more reviews and maybe on a different game like Mario, Zelda or Donkey Kong and see if you can have a different experience on making a review.Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Yes this is my first review. I will take all of your advice in the next one! Thank you so much.

Well written and just enough information. You explained each category individually and told why. I agree with everything you mentioned
