Pokemon Old White starts off excellently. It's done something that I have never seen any hack do before and I really liked it. It's things like that which makes a game entertaining. 

You start off as a Pokemon student who is on the cusp of graduating from the Pokemon Academy. After you graduate a couple of minutes in, you're off on your adventure to see and capture every Pokemon. 

The game is pretty fun. I liked that I was able to use more than the first generation Pokemon. The issue lies after you leave the initial spot when you leave on your journey. There's so much grass that it's almost impossible not to encounter a Pokemon every couple of seconds; it gets quite annoying. Also add in the fact that the environments look completely identical and you've got a problem. I got so sick and tired of running past bridge after bridge, doing the same thing over and over again. The fun I was having at the beginning slowly subsided as I continued forward. Heck, if you're not careful, you're definitely going to get lost more often than not. It makes for an annoying experience. 

The game doesn't offer much in depth or difficulty. I had an entire team of six fully evolved Pokemon, each ranging from levels 30 - 45 before the end of the hack. Speaking of the end, you're going to get at least two hours of game-play before the hack abruptly ends, and that's if you don't get lost like I did. There's a nice diversity in Pokemon, and being able to catch starters, which completely ruins the point of choosing a starter at the lab. Not a lot to do other than fighting trainers. 

Pokemon Old White has a lot of potential, but that potential gets lost when you're forced to run through so much grass, and with so little to do. I hope that the game can be finished by the creator, and I hope that the feeling the game starts with can be further implemented throughout the entire game. This isn't the best Pokemon hack on this site, but it's definitely worth your time if you let it.
