This game is just amazing. You are able to catch all 386 Pokémon, able to CATCH YOUR STARTER, see Mew in the game without an event, and so much more that I just want to play it on my VBA emulator OVER AND OVER AGAIN! Here's why, as I take you into my next game review, aptly named(in the style the Japanese name the episodes of their TV shows):
Pokémon Ultra Violet!!
An awesome adventure with all 386 Pokémon awaits!!
Section 1: GRAPHICS
Just like any hack that edit sprites, the new artwork is...um...I haven't seen them, but, I will give a rating to the graphics of what you patch that godly file on: Fire Red! Fire red's graphics are rip-worthy. They are in such an amazingly high resolution that, if you rip sprites for a hobby, they are so worth it! The Pokémon's sprites for the battles are also neatly made. For example, Pidgey. Pidgey is so similar to it's original sprite that it almost looks identical. Same with Rattata.
RATING: 10 out of 10. FLAWLESS!
Section 2: SOUND
If there is anything WORSE-SOUNDING in both the original game and this hack, it's some(if not all) of the sounds. The music is pretty good, but the some of the sound effects could figuratively make my ears bleed. Some sounds are kind of cool and soft, but I swear, others(like Uproar's sound effect) are ear-achingly bad! I won't(and wouldn't because I changed) put up one of the sounds. If I think they're a horror, then I wouldn't share the pain with you.
RATING: 7 out of 10. Good!
Section 3: ADDICTIVENESS
Before I start, there are two paths you can take:
If you've played a Pokémon game in your life, skip this section, because you will already know my rating. If you haven't, don't skip so that you know why everyone is in love with the Pokémon series.
If you don't know, Pokémon is an extremely addictive gaming series, because you are compelled to find out what happens next, and you feel...attached to your Pokémon. It is such a popular series because everyone is addicted to doing activities with their Pokémon, or defending themselves from wild Pokémon by battling with their own. This hack is like the other hack and their original games: the pure essence of addictiveness.
RATING: 10 out of 10. NO BIG SURPRISE.
Section 4: STORY
Pokémon isn't known for their story(until Gen 5 happened), but let's focus on it. Pokémon Ultra Violet has pretty much the same story, but I won't spoil it for anyone getting into Pokémon. It's just the good old story we knew from the original!
RATING: 9 out of 10. Classic!
Section 5: DEPTH
Pokémon Ultra Violet expanded the depth of Fire Red a little. I can't go into it fully, but there are a lot more to explore, so yeah...check it out.
RATING: 10 out of 10. ...yay?
Section 6: DIFFICULTY
Pokémon Ultra Violet didn't change the difficulty in any way. It's still as difficult as when it wasn't patched on. This section isn't really all that long, but I have no idea what to say.
RATING: 5 out of 10. Medium.
OVERALL:
Overall, this is by far the greatest Fire Red hack ever. With the ability to catch your starter, as well as 001 through 386, this is a definite hack to try out! This game is just amazing.
