This hack was interesting to say the least and i will go in depth on how interesting it was.

First up the graphics of this game are nice I could see the hacker put work into each of the areas and I especially liked that dessert area with the cubone/marowak skulls that littered the ground and the cactus. I really got a feel on what element the town represented for the most part. Some areas have very minimal things to look at like the water town but i liked the visuals good enough.

The sound was average and just used the same music as the game. Its gets the job done anyway and is ok

I would never play this game again and I will give you good reasons why I would not touch this game with a ten foot pole!

The story(as minimal as it is) starts off with you being the poorest kid in town and cant buy food and eat dirt(even though you got 3000 poke money in your wallet) and you have to stop professor oaks grandson from using pokemon to kill and make genetically modified pokemon to raise hell and you have to defeat his 8 subordinates along with the genetic freaks. Its sounds interesting but it falls flat on its face. First off the game does not know if the characters are supposed to be characters from the real games or are they just made up. Because the first subordinate name is Brock and has Brock's sprite but he uses normal type pokemon, then you go against LT.Surge and he uses grass,and Erika uses Fire type. but then out of nowhere the fourth one is Drake from the hoeen Elite 4 and his name is Gerrard for some reason and he used ice type even though he was a dragon trainer. The names get made up for the other subordinates even though Brock, Erika, and Surge kept theirs. also the professor is called professor oak even though this is supposed to be a new region by the game description. Also the rest of the subordinates sprites are leaders from other regions for some reason but have different names. The story is very repetitive because all you do is go to the town, fight the modified pokemon, defeat the subordinate,then walk to the next town. Then after defeating your rival the plot throws in this save the world plot out of nowhere with this whole child of prophesy bull crap and you have to fight some gods from long ago in the after story. I struggle to comprehend on why the hacker thought this was a good idea because the resolution to the main plot already came out of left field it did not need this. So in conclusion the story was just a straightforward, boring, romp and ended in a crazy way and added on an after story thats even crazier.

Depth is low because I was not very invested in what I was doing. I was just wheelbarrowing my character to point A to point B to be told repetitious dialogue over and over(im not joking most of the dialogue in this game is the same thing) the villains all have Saturday morning cartoon villain dialogue that was just cringe worthy! One of the subordinates said they would have me crying back home to my mamma(even little kids don't use this as a threat!) at least in the official pokemon games they would characterize some villains but these subordinates were the same dang character that just talked about how pointless it was to fight and how better the rival is and then vanish somehow after I beat them and never seen again. the town people say the exact same thing HELP US HELP US, GET THE ROUGE POKEMON, STOP THE SUBORDINATE, also the trainers you fight just say LETS BATTLE and after you win they say YOUR TOUGH! and now that I think about it THE WHOLE GAME has mindless dialogue! Its like it was written by a retarded 6 year old using mad lib's! The so called genetically modified pokemon are not much. only one or two were actually creative but the rest are just recolors and nothing else other than a type change. The gyrados was the worst one because it looked like a shiny gyradoes but the the shade of red was lighter that's it!

The difficulty is high because near the end the game really stars cranking up the levels on you and the enemy's start getting random jumps in power. I think near the dragon part is were the power gap got ridiculous and I had to grind and the after story is even worse with level 100 pokemon. It was fine in the beginning and middle but near the end it gets merciless.

In conclusion this game is a pretty straightforward story of defeat the evil and save the world premise but handles the thing very poorly especially near the end and is just bland over all. It is not as special as the description says it is and I would give this game a pass unless you don't care for repetitious dialogue, game play, and cliche story elements and characters. the whole game is just rinse, lather, repeat. And get ready to grind your butt off in the end!
