This is my first review so hopefully I explained everything adequately. 

I'll run through the specific ratings and then I'll put my overall impression on the bottom (called Glitches and Overall Impression). If you want to get the general idea and don't need the specific ratings explained, jump to the bottom. 

Graphics: Pretty good. The author really did some cool stuff enhancing all of the buildings. It's a leaf green (Gen 3) hack, but all of the buildings look similar to buildings from later generations. It's also pretty cool how he colored the tyrant Pokémon to represent their type. (I.e. The water/fire type arcanine is blue.) He also changed all of the towns and routes to create an entirely new region. There were definitely a few glitches, but it didn't take away very much from the game. 

Sound: I played the whole game fast forwarded, so I hardly listened, but from what I did hear, it was the usual Pokémon music. Since the author of the hack changed the region, the music changed too. If you love listening to Pokémon music you won't be disappointed though, the music always fits the mood of the area.

Addictiveness: I would say it's just about as addicting as any Pokémon game, which is pretty addicting while you're playing it. However, I will most likely never play through this hack again, hence the low rating. It's cool having tons of Pokémon from every generation available at your disposal, but part of the fun of playing a Pokémon game is creating your team with what's available. You can get a bunch of strong Pokémon early on, and for me, that takes a lot of the fun away. 

Story: You are a poor kid who gets picked on, who only was going to get a Pokémon because Oak's grandson goes crazy and tries to take over the world. In fact, Oak's grandson actually steals your Pokémon (eevee) and you find a pikachu outside professor Oak's lab. You then go on a mission to stop Oak's grandson from taking over the world, defeating a tyrant Pokémon (a Pokémon with altered DNA I.e. fire/water arcanine) and a subordinate (gym leader) in each town. After collecting all 8 badges, you attack the Pokémon HQ (Elite Four.) It's a pretty cool story idea, and you essentially play as Ash because you start off with a pikachu and can catch all of the starters. It only gets a 7 because the game glitches and doesn't allow you to actually reach the elite four (at least in my case.)

Depth: A little bit less than a regular Pokémon game. There is never any question of what to do next, and no side quests. The main story is the only thing to do, and since you can't get to the elite four, the game runs short. 

Difficulty: This one is hard to rate, but I rated lower because the game gives you every Pokémon imaginable at your disposal. You can get every single starter, and tons of amazingly powerful Pokémon. You also get really strong Pokémon with altered types (again using the example of the water/fire arcanine.) There are a few difficult battles throughout the game, and your rival always has pretty high level Pokémon, but since you can create an ultra powerful team he's easy to defeat. The only difficulty comes in training your slow growing powerful team. Once you have them trained, you're unstoppable. 

Glitches and Overall Impression: This section is pretty important, because it explains why I rate this game so low overall. First of all, there are a bunch of spots all over the place where the picture doesn't represent what is actually happening. You can walk on water in a few spots, walk through walls, and you can't read any of the signs. That stuff isn't what really upset me however (although not being able to read signs was annoying.) What upset me overall were two main glitches. First, after the dragon city I lost all of my TM's. I usually save my TM's for later in the game, and then disperse them among my final team. The game got rid of all of them (Psychic, Earthquake, Ice Beam...) and there was no way to get them back. Second, the game did not allow me to go to the Elite Four. On the path that would normally lead to victory road (in this game it's called HQ Security) there are three guards blocking the path. They will not move, and there is no way to interact with them. In other words, I spent all of this time playing through the game, defeating gym leaders, and creating an awesome team, only to be unable to complete the game. That is one of the most frustrating things I believe you can do to a gamer. I urge you to not play this game if you need the satisfaction of beating it. If you just want to kill some time and create an awesome team, then go for it. I personally like to completely finish a game, and the way the Elite Four is blocked prevents me from doing that. 

Overall, it was a cool concept, the author did some awesome things, but the fact that you cannot actually complete the game was too frustrating for me to say I enjoyed the experience of playing it.  

ummmmm based on the screenshots I'm seeing (haven't actually beat the game yet) I'm pretty sure it is possible to beat after all I see a bunch of screenshots of the hall of fame.......so yeah I think it may be just you......then again I could be wrong but still.......

Pretty good job with this review! It was nice and detailed and it was also short and sweet! Keep up the good work! Next time, I want to see the same kind of thing from you!

I agree. I only got to the second town before the game completely glitched out on me. It froze during a battle and that was the end of that. I don't plan on trying it over again.

This is a first review? This is AMAZING! Nice job with this man, you nearly hit 900 words on your first try, that is great, I think you have a lot of potential to make more awesome reviews in the future.

Your review was detailed, and you summed up each category with good supporting points that add to why you gave it that score.

Overall, excellent work on your first review man, you are reallt good at this, keep up the awesome work!

numba22 : I think you did a really great job for your first review, I got to say a lot of effort and a good amount of words all on the first try, I can say, in later reviews, I got a feeling you'll be a really great reviewer on the site.
