Pokemon Jupiter reviewHello all fellow vizzed users, today I will be doing a review of pokemon Jupiter, which is an awesome pokemon hack. I discovered this hack a week and a half ago and as I came over it I thought it looked silly, but after giving it a try, I was totally hooked on it. Nevertheless, You can play as the character Ivan from Golden sun and you must enter the portal to enter the vast world of pokemon in order to stop the great deluge and save the Mynoan civilization, as the description says, this isn't a duplication of golden sun, rather the main character and the soundtrack as well as some other characters make cameo appearances throughout the game. If anything, this is by far one of the most unique pokemon hacks I have ever played on vizzed, it is different because of its design and the plot twist that you are introduced to in the beginning, but in the end I can almost guarantee you will be satisfied with this game. Now enough chatter and on to the review!

The graphics of this game are pretty good, I think they are actually just as good or even better than the 3rd gen pokemon games, but that is just my opinion on it. The game also includes fakemon which for those of you who don't know what that is, it is basically just as it sounds, fake pokemon, but they are pretty good quality and they aren't cheap knockoffs, they have their own cry and everything and they also just have a great look overall. This game alone has some of the best fakemon I have ever seen, they are incredibly well put together and they have their own personalized cry which is another plus considering that some hacks that include fakemon don't always have their own unique cry. Aside from that, the graphics of the towns and the people look just like they would in a regular pokemon game, if not better, the scenery and landscape is also realistic and vibrant as well. One thing I will say that I thought that was pretty cool and different at the same time was that you started off the game going through several caves to the top of a mountain and then end up washed up on a beach, they took an entirely different approach by doing that, while also putting in elements from golden sun as well. But in the end, I think it came out pretty good. So overall I rated the graphics a 10 and I really think they deserve it, they are very colorful yet at the same time they still have the same graphic elements that you would normally have in a pokemon game. I have never seen so much detail put into every part of the game, from the water in the caves to the stones and cave itself, there is clearly a lot of time and effort put into this hack to make it look realistic and well put together.
Sound: 10
If there is anything that is truly awesome about this game, it is the incredible sound that this game has. This is the one criteria of the game that I think really made it stand out, the music is just awesome, much unlike a regular pokemon game, there's tons of different music to listen to in the game, you can choose from over 65 songs to listen to which really offers quite a variety and you aren't limited to the same tune playing over and over again, so if it gets old you can always change it whenever you want. This is a huge plus considering that is a much better variety of music t choose from in the game than the sometimes repetitive and annoying music in pokemon and in all honesty I think it is really a nice change from regular pokemon music. It also gives the game a much different mood just by the way it sounds and everything about it. I haven't played a golden sun game before, but if this is the kind of music it has, all I can say is wow. Combine that with all of the unique cries that each fakemon has, I don't think it really gets any better than that and I don't think I could ask for much more in a pokemon hack. So because of its amazing sound and music that this game has that regular pokemon games lack in, plus each pokemon having each their own cry, I scored the sound a 10. Any pokemon hack that can do both of these things is worthy of a perfect score the way I see it.
Addictiveness: 9
Okay, just a regular pokemon game alone is addicting on its own, from battling pokemon to catching them and training for each gym, that on its own is addicting, but this game has a completely different set up where you actually travel to a separate world with pokemon and you also have to put an end to a great evil deluge in order to save the Mynoan civilization. That takes a totally different approach to a pokemon game and makes it all the more addicting to play at the same time. I was attracted to this game the minute I saw the screenshots on the game page, I thought it just looked like any old silly hack at first, but after giving it a try, I was hooked almost instantly, just the whole setup and plot of the game is enough to hook anyone's attention and make them want to play this game. The fakemon in this game are also very exceptional and I think that is just one more reason why you should play it. All pokemon games are addictive to begin with, but I think this one is even more so because of the storyline and plot and just the entire way it is set up. Several factors contributed to making this game addicting for me, from the awesome graphics, to the great music and sound in the game, and just the urgency you get to play this game because of the journey you are being sent on...it all just made it super addicting for me. So because of this I scored the addictiveness of this game a 9, it is bound to hook your attention and interest if you give it a try. I would definitely consider this game to be very re playable, I can see myself playing it again in the near future. It ranks up there among the top 5 most addicting pokemon hacks I have played on vizzed, so that should give you an idea how good it really is
Story: 6
This is probably the only flaw or drawback in this game, is the lack of story, other than the beginning when you are told about the great deluge and the risk of your civilization, there isn't really that much of a plot or storyline after that. After the beginning of the game, you basically just carry on like you would in any normal pokemon game, going from gym to gym and beating trainers, so from then on, there isn't really that much presence of a story or plot in the game after that point. But to be honest though, I don't think that this should really make or break the game for you, because if you've noticed, there really isn't that much of a strong story or plot in regular pokemon games to begin with other than beating the gyms, the elite 4 and the champion to become the best trainer. So if you think about it, you aren't really missing out all that much compared to a regular pokemon game, plus I think that the other elements of this game more than make up for the lack of story presented in the game. To be honest though, I am kind of glad that their isn't too much of a storyline or strong plot present all the way through the game because if the story was too great it would interfere with the game and take away from the pokemon element of the game, so sometimes a complex storyline isn't always necessary to have in every game, so while the story may not be much, I wouldn't let it deter you from getting a chance to see how great this game really is. So overall I scored the story/ plot of this game a 6 which isn't too bad if you think about it and it doesn't need a huge plot to be a good game.
Depth: 8
This game may be a hack, but don't be fooled, it is chalked full of stuff to do, it still has your 8 gyms and the elite 4 and such, it is still meant to be taken just as seriously as you would take any other pokemon game. Sure its going to take some time to finally beat the game but it is all worth it in the end because this game guarantees hours of great game play. It has taken me about a week to beat the 8 gyms and I have still yet to beat the elite 4, but I am hoping to do so shortly after a bit more training. I really think that this game has more to offer than any regular pokemon game because not only are you faced by your regular pokemon training and the typical gym battles, but you are also faced with the important mission at hand, so there is really more to it than you would think. In the end I would say that this game offers a great amount of depth and it isn't one of those games you will beat in 5 minutes, it will require some of your time and patience, but that is what games are all about,and it wouldn't really be any fun if the game wasn't challenging and you didn't have to use your head to get through the game now would it?
Difficulty: 7
Again, don't underestimate the difficulty of this game just because it is a hack, It is still expected of you to put some serious time into training your pokemon and creating a balanced team of fakemon. I would treat it as any pokemon game in this aspect, the way I see it , training is the key to doing well and getting through each of the gyms, you need to take your time training seriously because it isn't as easy as you think it is going to be. I actually lost to the 1st gym at the first attempt even though I thought I was pretty well prepared. This isn't something you should rush through, you need to take your time in training your pokemon if you really want to do well. And as always, it is key to come up with a varied team of pokemon so you can eliminate as many weaknesses you may have and also expand the total amount of coverage your team has. So playing it smart and really taking the time to train is half the battle. That is really the only difficult part that really seems to stump a lot of pokemon players, they rush through the game and they end up facing a gym leader totally unprepared. You don't have to be an expert at pokemon to do well either, just be patient and train well, and you'll do just fine. Overall it isn't more or less hard than your regular pokemon game would be, so I just gave it a neutral score of 7 for difficulty.
Overall: 9
I must say that this game really impressed me every step of the way, just when I thought it couldn't get any better, it always managed to do so, every aspect of this game is really amazing and unique in its own way. The graphics, the sound and everything about this game really all come together to make it awesome in the end. I would seriously recommend playing this game for pokemon fans out there and also for those in search of good and challenging hacks because this is the game for you since it does both of those things. You don't need to be familiar with gold sun either in order to enjoy this game,prior to this hack I had no idea what gold sun was, but I still enjoyed this game and got through it nevertheless, I think the excellence in this hack comes from the creative twist of incorporating two different games into one, and still managed to keep it original to pokemon without it being too different. Overall I enjoyed every bit of this game and I would highly recommend it for those in search or a different and challenging game. I hope you can come to enjoy it just as much as I did.
Well, I certainly hoped that you enjoyed my review of this great game and all it has to offer, feel free to comment and reply as well as provide constructive feedback so that I can further improve my reviewing skills in the future to become a better reviewer. Hope you liked it, thanks!
