The graphics are just the same as the game it got hacked from. Its supposed to take place in Hoenn but the more you go along the more areas the hacker crammed in that was not in the game at all. there are caves and areas and locations that were just randomly made for no reason. the more you go through the game the less it resembles the Hoenn region and gets more random as you go along. its like the hacker got bored and started adding all of this crap off the top of his head. And the Hoenn region becomes a new place entirely. and these areas hurt the game in more ways than one and the rest of this review will tell you

The sound is just like it is in the regular game. nothing special here. if there was a different track then it was not good enough to hold my attention or even notice.

The addictiveness is horrible. i would not want to play this game again. this was the worst hack I ever played. Its about as much fun as sucking on a turd.

The story(if you can call it that) is a mess. its filled with cliches and it starts off with your character with amnesia (how original) () trying to look for their brother Landon(the protagonist in ruby version) his brother and may(the rival of Brendan) during the zombie out break. sounds simple but its like it was written by a schizophrenic monkey! It introduces this zombie plot at the beginning and then he just throws in this four horsemen plot out of nowhere and it gets resolved Deus ex machina style and then he introduces some other generic organization and another orginization that fights them and he even throws in aliens at one point and ,demons and ,dragons! and these things never get any plot resolution and just appear then vanish and have hardly any connection with each other. It does not help that all the characters have the personality of a brick wall and never made me feel for anything. the creator seems to like breaking the fourth wall and having your character point out the obvious stupidity of the plot points ,characters ,and likes to make references to obscure media and anime and TV shows like a moron. the more you go on the less it starts to be about pokemon and more of a kid throwing random ideas to a wall and hoping they would stick!the story cant even keep a contestant tone as it jumps from LOL WERE SO FUNNY to OMG SO DARK LOOKS HOW DARK WE ARE!! but failed at doing both!

Depth is low because the the game play is killed by adding bland and boring looking FAKEMON into the game and giving them unbalanced wonky stats. Hell the whole game is unbalanced! the level curve is all over the place and he makes the gym leaders so overpowered and gives them evolved pokemon they should not have with moves they should not have at that level. at the same time makes the wild pokemon you train on weak so its tedious to train your guys to an appropriate level. He even changes types for pokemon for no reason and it hardly makes an impact on the pokemon. he also gives random pokemon different evolutions by making even MORE fakemons that look just as ugly and broken as the others! he throws these zombies called chefs that have the same two pokemon every time you fight them and there are ALLOT of them and when you get far into the game the zombies get max potions for some reason and make the battles last even longer and more tedious. and the WORST part is that he has a fakemon(thats a blue ball with yellow eyes) in it thats a ghost/dark type with WONDER GUARD!! And he gives it to a gym leader and elite 4 member. so you HAVE to use a health draining move or you will have to wait for it to struggle to death(and they use health potions on it have fun) and the sprites of the trainers look horrible and are just recolors or other sprites a lot of times. He also renamed items for no reason at all for example a quick claw is called a demon horn for some reason. i dont know why he did this because this IS supposed to take place in the pokemon world. because of this it takes away the feeling of even BEING in a pokemon game along with the out of control plot, bad characters, and bad game design. the more i went on the more i kept forgetting this is pokemon because everything is all over the place.

i put difficulty high not only because of the godly fakemon, the level curve, and the opponents with unfair pokemon and moves. its the caves/puzzles! he added these trial & error "screw you" fests that basically require you to look up the solution on the Pokecommunity thread.One cave makes you fight 8 people in separate rooms and when you enter one room it brings you ALL the way back outside and you have to go ALL the way back in to do it 7 more times after you beat one. also there is a cave that you can only solve if your LUCKY! the so called puzzles are also luck based. there is this big room that you have to walk on a certain path and if step ONE pixel out of it you get teleported ALL the way to the beginning. Also the path curves and if you cant make save states on your emulator like we can then it is near impossible to do without looking at a solution online. instead of putting effort into making good puzzles and caves he just used pure chance and poor trial and error.

In conclusion this game throws logic out the window in an attempt to be hilarious but FAILS every time. Sprites are bad, characters are bland, plot is laughably bad! the game play is unbalanced! has monotonous trial and error caves/puzzles! this game was so bad it gave me CANCER!! i dont care if those no taste chimp reviewers gave this game a good score its HORRIBLE and is the Nirvana of bad pokemon hacks. I think i put more effort into this review then the guy who created this piece of crap if your a brain dead chimp you will enjoy this game but for normal people who actually want games with EFFORT put into them this crap is not for you!

This is a great review! I'm not sure I agree with everything you said, but it's your opinion. You used a lot of detail and explained your points. Great job and keep up the good work!

This was a OK review yet I don't agree with you 100% when you say what the hell did I just play. And I think you overreacted when you said this game is so bad it gave me cancer (you went overboard on that one) but the other things you said was all your opinion.Any way you did back up some of your words which made this review pretty good yet not to good, somewhere in between those two,meaning you could do better though.

Yeah I think it's ridiculous but I'm not sure you would say " what the hell did I just play" and also if I agree to everything but good review. 

Also, you did break a few posting rules, one of which is swearing. So basically what you are trying to tell us is the fact that we shouldn't play this game at all. As this game is basically a waste of our time? Time is money, spend it well.

RedHotReviewer : oh come on the swearing was PG at the most. i tried to hold myself bzck from breaking into an angry video game nerd type rant at the end. also you can play it but you wont get much out of it unless your a brain dead chimp.

You played a Pokemon hack if that answers your question. I guess you don't often get negative reviews since most people stick with their favorite games. But no, this was fun to read. You are kind of the good sort of hater if you know I mean. I don't know.

MechaMento : thanks! this is my first review and i decided to go with this one because i had ALLOT to say on it. i play pokemon hacks all the time its just that this one just turned out bad and not even in the so bad its good way. usually pokemon hacks would make a story and still keep it consistent with the pokemon world. unlike this game where its a schizophrenic mess wearing the mask of a pokemon game.

i do not agree with you sir you might be thinking why? because its a great hack and yes it is confusing with the mazes but overall this is one of the best Pokemon hacks ever and if you don"t like it why did you play it in the first place? No offense 

Well, I have never played this pokemon hack in particular but I have never played it. Hopefully I can do so in the future and see for myself. Even though you may not have liked the game, I cannot judge because it is your personal opinion. But other than that, you had good information, organization and supporting details in your review to make it nice and descriptive.

Overall good job, 1100 words is very respectable indeed. Great work for this review, you had lots of things to support your opinion on the game and I think that is key to a good review so good job. You have a lot of potential for making great reviews in the future. Keep up the great work and I look forward to reading your next review!

So, what hack are you speaking of, anyway? I've played a couple so far, and they've all been relatively good. I don't think I've played one with said "fakemon" yet though

bocoom : oh come on the swearing was PG at the most. -Well, this isn't a PG site. Swearing in reviews (as goes for regular posts) is a no-go. Period. There should be no argument about this. Has anyone who replied to this review actually even read the whole thing? This review has some of the most offensive content I've seen on here. "If you're a brain-dead chimp you will enjoy this game"? My friend suggested this hack, he obviously loved it. So, thanks, you just insulted my friend. "this game was so bad it gave me CANCER!!"? I think this says enough. This review is as offensive as it gets.

That being said, I agree with your opinion. This game wasn't good in the least. I hated your character's attitude, and the story is riddled with clichés and bad humour. It's unclear if this hack wasn't something you shouldn't take seriously, or otherwise.

Well, this does involve some swearing and you broke a few posting rules, as someone said above. But I like how you explained this. This is a good review, I rate it a 8 out of 10.

Ladyalley :   It's nice of you to give reply on a reivew. Just beware of running into threads like these, becasue there old.

Local Mods : thread bump

Evilninjagamer : Pokemon Snakewood is what the person is talking about

SuperCrash64 : The thread is barely a month old

Oh - I just realized the game was right above the review the whole time. My bad

vino98 : well i saw the good scores the game got on here and decided to play it. little did i know that i was in for a shock on how bad this game really was.

This may be an old review but I agree with all of the reviewers points. We usually see really young children make weird hacks. We all have seen the really bad text changes in hacks that could have been much better if they left the text alone. I do not like the offensive language the reviewer used but sometimes when we all decide to try certain hacks because they are rated very high we do not expect to see really child like changes to the hacks. So I do not blame the reviewer for feeling the way that he/she did. This game was one of those hacks that you expected a lot out of due to the complete story change, new sprites, and new story but again it was all child like and sometimes it just happens that you are too old to really laugh at childish jokes in hacks. I do not think the hacker/developer should be completely criticized because of the text changes and storyline that seemed like random ideas thrown in. I think the developer was just someone who loved playing Pokémon hacks and decided to work really hard on there own. But again I do believe that it is possible that the developer of this hack was very young and did not have a more mature humor or story building skills but do note that this is a children and young teen type of title so maybe if you hated the hack it was because you were too old and mature to fully appreciate it which is again fine and I felt the same way. I tried going through this hack a few times but it got to the point where I was giving myself a headache from just the plot. So this review did explain the game clearly but due to the harsh words which were used it did not look completely like that to some of you.
