Very Impressed midnightrider41..
As a pretty devout fan of the original Pokémon series and the first generation Pokémon. I was really happy with the turnout of this game. Graphically, much better than the old school RBY, GSC. I love the look of this particular generation of games.
For sounds, the music got a bit annoying to me, mainly because I speed through a lot of things, as to not waste time.
When it comes to how addicting it is, the speediness is really great. It's much easier to train your Pokémon up when you can skip most of the battle cut-scenes, and extremely slow text. It's also intriguing to see what's next when it comes to the mix between the game and the series. The Spearow in the storm, stealing Misty's bike, Brock's deadbeat dad selling rocks, how you get each of the starters, Bill's obsession with Dragonite...the list just goes on! I love all of those connections, but it still lacked a little bit, especially that you don't have to battle to get Bulbasaur and Squirtle...I mean, they could've at least given him some sweet shades or something.
I did find some difficulty with finding certain necessary items, such as the cut HM, I spent about a half hour running around talking to people before I realized where it was...which I won't tell you, because I want to see how long it takes everyone.

One of the best hack out there dungeonmaster201
What Can I say about Pokémon ash gray... this is the absolute, best hack that I have play to date. If you are familiar with the first season of the Pokémon anime then you will be in for quite a pleasant surprise. Pokémon yellow can go and shoot it's own brains out. This game should be the true Pokémon game that has a true following to the Anime but still gives you the freedom to be able to make your own choices that would rewrite the first season of Pokémon an example of this rewriting would be being able to keep the Primeape after completing the fighting grand prix. Another is that you could capture and use any Pokémon that ash never had in the anime, and evolve those that were never evolved.
The game can get tricky at times, when you get to Sabrina and you find yourself quite under leveled and you are hoping for a miracle to be able to withstand the higher leveled Kadabra. I don't want to give away too much about the game other than what I am going to say is that you should go play this game for yourself.
Graphics for what it is there isn't too many changes from the main series games that makes the game stand out from other games, This game is built off the Fire red engine.
Sound: some music is changed around a bit but in many cases for good reason
addictiveness: this game is really addictive it will have you playing for a long time. I know it did when I had done a Lets Play of the game for my you tube channel and I have a good 8 hours of recorded footage on a fast speed play setting so this game will take a solid few days of continues play in order to get through the game but like I said it is very addicting so you will most likely not mind playing through it.
Story: as I said it follows the Anime pretty well. No Misty and Brock really do not follow you around every where you went though it does seem at certain points they try to tack them on in certain parts which end up more frustrating than enjoyable.
Depth the amount of depth in this game is incredible. The attention that is given to this hack is outstanding a lot of the episodes are done very nicely even some of the banned ones like the infamous Porygon episode which probably hasn't been seen by many outside of Japan.
Difficulty: this game control wise is easy to pick up and play like all of the Pokémon games, where the difficulty is where certain points in the anime where ash losses, is where the difficulty is but these parts are still beatable, though at times these same victories will still play out as though you had lost the fight which at times does not seem fair, but these are somewhat necessary to make other events from the show play out,
So overall I would recommend this game to anyone who is a Pokémon fan of the show, the game or both as it would bring out some of the nostalgia in both forms.

Very in-depth. A few problems. ConnorDarkrule77
Pokemon Ash's Quest is a hacked version of Pokemon Fire Red ( Not Leaf Green, note the Charizard cry at the start menu ). It is a unique idea where it mixes the addictive game play of the Pokemon games series with the actual 1st season of the Pokemon episodes. Though i'm sure you'll be able to guess that a few minutes in, so let's just start the review.
Graphics
The graphics in this game are the same as in Pokemon fire red and leaf green. The only notable differences are how the map has been altered to suit the story line including Viridian city now being a little further away ( Recommend when you begin that you train at the beginning of route 1 and use your house for healing as you will quick have to fight several rather high level Spearow e.g. 5 - 9 ). There are rain and thunderstorms on route 2 which is now connected to route 1 and elements of cities etc. have been altered to include more decoration and more things to do including mini quests and hidden villages with secret items and trainers.
Sound
The sound is the same as in Pokemon fire red and leaf green to keep close to the original series, just as the episodes were set in that region, it would be a good way to keep close to that time by having the right music. I think this was a good choice to not alter the sound.
Addictiveness
I will play this game again but first i need to complete it before i even consider restarting a third time. ( There's an irritating glitch in Cerulean City and if you don't go to the Gym and watch the water show first you can't continue ).
Story
The story is pretty much dead on, it would be extremely difficult to get it any closer as it is already hard to edit the maps and scripts of things in the game. It starts off in Palet town like you would in Leaf green or Fire red and you are late to go to professor Oaks lab. Once you get there he tells you that all the Pokemon are already taken ( the poke balls are still on the table like in the first episode ). Instead he gives you a Pikachu and his aides ( by the door, you need to speak to them ) will give you about 5 poke and a pokedex. You may think this means you can complete the game without getting the pokedex but a guard in viridian city won't let you continue to the forest and Pewter city without it ( As in the episodes it is used as I.D. ) Gary will challenge you to a battle once you leave and he will have a level 7 Squirtle. Which is unfortunate because this time you have a type advantage, but if you're feeling a little under confident then you can use the PC in your room and withdraw a potion. I'm glad they kept this as they've stooped item prices so potions are now 900 poke-dollars instead of 300. Look for super potions in cerulean and think: "Oh come on!" Poke balls are only double price and great balls too. Route 1 is normal length but Route 2 is directly connected. It has a raging thunderstorm so it is easily identified. At certain points (Not just in the tall grass) Spearow sprites will fly at you and activate a battle sequence. Their levels will be between 5 and 9, maybe 10 so training is recommended before heading into route 2. Be sure to speak to the girl by the patch of water as that is Misty who will complain about you taking her bike which you'll suddenly be on but only until you get to Viridian city where it disappears. Assuming you've broken it like in the episodes. When you're healed and ready, go back to her for a battle and she has a level 8 Goldeen. She'll give you an Old Rod if you win and then she disappears.
There is a trainer directly past the guard at the north end of Viridian city so be ready and the forest is a lot more of a problem. Instead of the rare Pikachu sightings there are now rare Level 5 Pidgeottos which are good for experience ( about 80 ). The Samurai has a house and upon beating him he will give you a repel. A trainer near the end of the forest has a powerful level 10 Beedrill and Team Rocket ( Jessie, James and Meowth make their first appearance, they appear again at Mount Moon and i've not seen them anywhere else yet. ) The grassy patch as you go into Pewter City is no longer there. To the right as you enter is Flints rock shop. Be sure to talk to him after you beat Brock to see a plot point and collect an Everstone for behind him. In a small house in the north east is a person who will give you a Light Ball which increases your Pikachu's Sp. Attack. The trainer beside Brock is his little brother Forrest who has Brock's old Pokemon ( One is a Vulpix ) Brock has the same Pokemon as in Leaf green and fire red but his Onix is very powerful. His Geodude is usually defensive at least.
Mount Moons layout is very different, there is 2 moon stones to be collected and Clefairys to be caught. A trainer will have a Clefable near the end of the cave. Before entering Cerulean City there is a sign that says "Gary was here, Ash is a loser" like in the episodes, but even more annoying is he will stop you and challenge you before entering the city. His Pokemon are far stronger than Brock's so be ready, if you lose you go right back to Pewter. Once beaten Gary, heal and go DIRECTLY into the gym, don't talk to anyone else and watch the water show. Afterwards, Outside is one of Misty's sisters. The Nugget bridge has no trainers any more and 2 secret paths. To the right leads to Bills house and his boat that takes you back to Cerulean quickly, and there is also a poke ball that contains a Charmander. A trainer back towards Bills house will say he considered it too weak so abandoned it, if you go back again 4 spearow will be attacking it which you must defeat before you can claim it. It is level 10. And on the left side of the bridge is water..don't be fooled you CAN jump into it which will carry you to a secret island. Inside is a few trainers and items with some grassy patches. You can catch an Oddish or Bellsprout here and a Breeder by a house at the end of the path will give you a Bulbasaur ( Level 10 like the Charmander ) Be sure to check the items they are holding!
This is currently as far as I've gotten in the story, i hope this review was helpful to anyone that read it.
Depth
The game is very large and there is always plenty to do as there is no real "The End, Credits, New Game? " You can play to your hearts content and New Game when you feel like doing it from the beginning.
Difficulty
Unlike Fire red and Leaf green, You can't choose your starter, you will always have a Pikachu. In the episodes Ash had many problems that he failed at so these are forced upon you also, such as Pokemon having higher levels and stronger attacks as well as Gym leaders being even more brutal. However it's just a matter of training your pokemon until they're "Unbeatable!" The Poke Mart also sells things for far more than usual, Mainly Potions and Poke balls. Antidotes don't seem to have changed at all at least. So take care and save your money.
Overall
Overall i gave this game a 9.9 / 10. It would have been a 10 if the glitch in Cerulean hadn't killed my smile. Remember to avoid it if you love your Pokemon!!
I would highly recommend this to any pokemon fan as i'm a fan of all the old games myself, despite this being a hacked version it is still very well planned, though i think the creator should have tested it a bit more.

Make Ash's Quest your quest today! Postman3
Graphical Changes
In Pallet town, the Xanadu nursery was not there in previous versions. You can get to it by using CUT. Oak has a backyard with a few Pokémon in it. Route 1 extends into a second route. There is a raining thunderstorm on route 2. It also rains when you are in battle. Misty is fishing on route 2. Ho-oh makes an appearance. The Pokémon League guard stands outside instead of in. There is a house in the north end of Viridian Forest. The layout of MT Moon has changed considerably. That blabbermouth who tells everyone how to win is gone from the gyms. That is good riddance! The hack programmer modified many other routes to mirror the Pokémon Television Anime story.
Storyline modifications
Oh, no! Something has gone very wrong in Pallet Town.
I am late for the selection of my starter Pokémon! Beginners who did not sleep through their alarm have already pocketed the turtle, salamander and dinosaur monsters. Not to worry. I get the cutest Pokémon from the first generation. I make sure to ask the assistant person for some Poke balls on my way out the door. Look out! There is a rival trainer staring me down at six O'clock. Wait, I have a type advantage. Sweet! I had to talk to my mommy before leaving town. She gave me some running sneakers and told to me change my underwear. Yeah right! I am a Pokémon trainer now. I do not have that kind of time. I am busy fending off random sparrows on Meta steroids at route 2. Somehow, I already have a Pokedex. After fending off a few scary birdies, I find a Misty-rious girl and upon talking to her find myself on a bicycle. She says to give it back, but somehow I cannot. I soldier on. I zap one more “Captain Jack” bird and then see a Ho-oh flap across the screen. There is a nice person waiting to take me to a Pokémon center so I can heal my new pocket monsters. Whew! I go back to the girl and she says it is okay that I took her bike. (Now, there is a great message about stealing.) She gives me an Old Rod after we battle.
I try to advance from Viridian and Officer Smarty Pants says I need ID. I head back to Pallet Town. I guess I forgot to ask the other aide for a Pokedex. I did not expect a trainer to appear a few steps after the Officer checked my Pokedex, so bear that surprise in mind. Jessie and James Team Rocket ambushed me in the forest ahead. They go down quicker than a taser victim. Bug Catcher Samurai waits by his house so I challenge him and win and get repel from him. There is a trainer with a bulbous dinosaur and a flaming salamander in the forest. He is tough to beat.
When I reach Pewter City, a man named Flint tells me the story of Gym Leader Brock's life and directs me to a place where I can get a power up for the gym battle. I go there and I receive a light ball from a chrome-domed dude. The plot point where the boy stops me from leaving town is gone. All the trainers from route 4 have vamoosed. Instead of all that, a Team Rocket Grunt simply bars my entrance to a closely placed Mount Moon. I get to check out Brock's house with 5/9ths of his siblings inside. The gym trainer that battles you before Brock is his brother. He uses the Pokémon Brock got after leaving Pewter in the Pokémon Television Anime. I guess that makes sense. After tearing Brock a new one, I talk to Flint again. Brock comes up behind me and talks to Flint as if I am not even there. Wait, hey! I thought they looked alike. Flint just revealed he is Brock’s papa. They disappear together. What is that yellow thing on the ground?
In MT. Moon, Seymour the scientist disturbs by a colony of bats. I rescue him and he hands me a moonstone. In the cave, I battle Jess, Jim and their little p**** cat again. (90 minutes into game at this point; maybe this is an easy game, but I am having fun!) A non-descript Rocket Grunt bribes me with a Technical Machine for Thief. I eventually find Seymour frolicking with plump fairies in one section of the cave.
Upon entering Cerulean City limits, I have a nice battle with my rival. There is a Hidden Village just west of Cerulean so I jump off the bridge and get to it. I just realized there are no trainers on the bridge. I cannot win a nugget. At every turn, Pokémon breeders battle me in the Hidden Village. The last breeder just gives me a Pokémon with a green bulb on its back. I guess I am ready to take on Cerulean gym. Before starting on the trainers inside the gym, I must beat the red head one outside. The gym itself is set up like a swimming pool. I face all three of Misty's sisters before battling her.
That is as far as I have gotten so far. I am sure there are many more changes to the story after this. This is quite an exciting adventure.
Difficulties
The prices at the Poke marts are outrageous. That makes it twice as hard to raise money for the necessity of Poke balls. Many antidotes are a good idea for Viridian Forest. Keep in mind that as you advance you may not be able to get back as easily as you left.
Depth
I can tell the hacker went to great trouble to get every single plot point right and put the same Pokémon Ash Ketchum encounters where he found them in the show. Ash does not catch many Pokémon in the first season, but I can catch as many as I please.
Addictive Qualities
I will likely play many times. The story and surprises waiting for me are sure to delight all Pokémon fans. Ash's Quest is bound to be a very popular version and a big credit to this site.

The best hack I've seen in awhile. double_helix
This game is the childhood show put together beautifully into a game. All the events are very accurate to the show and exact to the times they're supposed to happen. The story, as we all know, is a very good one, and it's refreshing to be able to have all three starter pokemon AND a pikachu. This is different from all other hacks I have ever seen in that it is so well-made and does not at all look like an illegitimate game. In fact, you could probably scrape this thing off the website and slap it into a gameboy game right now. As far as I can tell, there are no glitches that can stunt your progress in the game, which is always a plus for hacks, however, in my experience, this game does end up being a bit slow at times, even with the spacebar (ha ha, I think we all speed through because we can). The only things I dislike about the game are the fact that it can be slow (maybe just on my computer, I don't know), but also all the shop items are very expensive in proportion to the money you receive in battles. The price of a super potion nearly costs you an arm and a leg, and when revives are even available, eh, forget about it. You'll buy about two things and then be left with little to no money. Another issue with the game is that some battles are extremely hard, with pokemon levels higher than yours, even with the most training. The only storyline issue is figuring out where to go and where the dang HMs are hiding. Unless you remember all the shows exactly, you're going to have to have some help figuring out what to do at some parts. I spent some time on youtube walkthroughs before I was able to figure out how to get to some places or simply what to do next. The HMs are hidden with pokemon you obtain (check them to see if they're holding items!). However, there are several pros to this game that outweigh the cons. For one, the graphics are the best I've ever seen on a hack. Really, it was the first thing I noticed. Beautiful. Perfect. Wonderful. The sound is excellent too, clear and flawless, going nicely with each place and situation. The storyline is riveting and keeps you wanting more, and includes some of your favorite people aka Misty and Brock (even though they don't travel with you, but really, how can you set that up in a game to work?). There are several battles to participate in and the gym battles are very fair, if not somewhat easy with the right training. Sideplots are numerous and the rewards great. Really, this is a top-notch game and everyone should play it. Who wouldn't want to play out Ash's story? This is a game everyone's been waiting for, or at least I have, since I was about 5.

Ash's quest comes to life emi2011
I am a huge fan of the original Pokémon series on TV and the games on the GBA so it wasn't a big surprise to me that I loved this game from the start. This hack is very thorough, getting down to the nitty-gritty details of Ash's adventure. I did get stuck a few times when I didn't remember Ash's original route but otherwise the game was pretty easy to understand.
Unfortunately, the game did freeze on me when I was on the Cycling Road. My character wasn't able to move or talk to the person in front of me, so there are a few kinks left to work out. I'm tempted to start a new game on Ash's quest because I liked it so much and hopefully I won't run into the same problem.
I really liked the details the game went into as a part of Ash's Quest. I enjoyed finding Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur and was able to raise them. Also, the fact that Jesse, James, and Meowth were in the game just made me giggle, they don't blast off into space, but it's definitely something that I missed in the original GBA games.
I fully recommend this game and I hope others have as much fun as I did. I do suggest though that people keep a walk-through guide on a tab on their computer as that helped me a lot when I got stuck. This is a great hack, good job!!

you know, this could be a lot better haitamchouiekh
so like the titles says it could be better. if you want games relating on ash's story then i prefer ash gray.
but now lets only talk about this game.
graphics : see this is the part that gets me, tje graphics. Ash looks like the character from fire red or something and yeah which is kindof confusing. and misty is a boy !? sure the rest is not bad. but yeah, you have got to expect some glitches in hacks.
sound: what do i care about sound. the sound of course is just the original. no changes in that, and for most hacks, i dont think there ever will be.
addictivness : surely you might play this game one time get enough of it and find a new one. thats how it is for me.
story: like the title says "ash quest" well then of course its ash quest. a never ending quest, more and more adventures will be found(a.k.a made. jeez these japanese love ash so much) but somethings didnt go exactly write in the story. some changes were made.
depth: like i said above, as more and more versions of the games are made more and more scenes are added, and the game gets upgraded.
difficulty : what is this ? you it a game. this is the easiest game i have ever gone through. making it the easiet game i have ever played.
at least in my opinion

Bad. Very bad. williamb970
Graphics
No graphics changed. (This would count as 2. You are supposed to be ash, but you are red.)
Sound
N/a. I can't find any new sound.
Addictiveness: 4
This is really boring to me. Rate the review 1/5, I don't care. I prefer ash grey. I don't want to play it. It doesn't follow the plot well.
Story: 3
Just said. Doesn't even follow the plot well. You start off going downstairs, Mum says: Your late, so on. In the anime, ash watches tv, tries to sneak off early, but his mom catches him and sends him to bed. Pikachu will battle in the start, stay in his pokeball, so on.
Depth: 6
It's fairly long to me.
Difficulty: 4
Too easy, piece of cake!
So, to wrap it up, I hate this. I hate it. 3.5 / 10.
