Pokemon Onix Blue Divine Aurora
Pokemon onix blue, although the name suggest the game has something to do with the Pokemon onix it does not. The starter pokemon in Pokemon onix blue is Mew,Celibi, and Jirachi. In Pokemon onix, the pokemon seen in the game are from the first three generations and all the starters from the first three generations can be found in the grass right on the first route. Now your rival's team as well as the other trainers Pokemon team's throughout the hack have been edited and altered and in my opinion the gym leaders new teams are simply amazing my favorite was the 8th gym's Pokemon Trainer Wallace's newly revised team.
Graphics: 10
"What can be expected out of the graphics portrayed in Pokémon Onix Blue?",Well the graphics portrayed in Pokemon onix blue isn't to different from the graphic wise expectations that one would see and experience in Pokemon Sapphire.The graphics are a display of beautiful animation.The waves out on the water move, you can see your reflection in small puddles ocean's. The colorization is the most realistic to date, meaning it feels almost real. The Pokémon look almost exactly like how they appear in the pokedex during battle, but with better resolution(pixel wise) and a lot better graphic design and color is evenly distributed through out. The graphics and color on the buildings and in towns have only gotten better and more unique and descriptive.There are no game freezes or crashes nor are the any deformities in the Pokémon spirits.There are two types of grass in the game, tall dark green grass which have stronger leveled Pokémon than normal in them and shorter light greener grass which has generally weaker leveled Pokémon in them, the pixel quality is so clear you can easily tell the difference between the to without even paying to much attention to it.
Sound: 9
"What's the sound quality like Pokémon Onix Blue?", well it's like what you expect it to be for Pokemon Sapphire, The hacks soundtrack is the same as Sapphire, but the music does repeat constantly in battle which can get really annoying. The games sound quality its self is fine acoustics and pitch wise with no irregularity's such as sound distortions(unless you are using speed bar), scratches/repetitive beat repeat, or unsuspected stops and pick ups in sound when playing/listening to the games music. The imported pokemon, (pokemon not usually seen or is even in pokemon sapphire), there cries are clean cut and what they are suppose to be.
Addictiveness: 8
"So just how addicting is Pokémon onix blue to play, what's it's reply value?" I'm very likely to replay this game because it had a lot of legendary Pokémon in it, followed by the best normal average pokemon the first three generations has to offer.What also contributed to me being addicted to Pokemon onix blue was the diverse new pokemon team's the gym leaders & the elite four as well as the basic trainers had, as well as your rival.
Story: 5
"How does the story go in Pokémon Onix blue"?,The story goes like any other Pokémon game and follows Pokemon Sapphires story to the T except trainers use new teams of Pokemon, the story goes.. you wake up just moving into the new town of Littleroot, and your Mom has you set your clock and when you go downstairs she said your Dad's on Tv(because he is a gym leader), but by the time you look its over and then your Mom has you go meet your next door neighbors and once you do that you hear cries for help and then further go on to see the Pokémon professor Birch being chased down by a poochyena(new Pokémon) and so you have to get to his brief case to pick a Pokémon to help stop the poochyena from hurting him. After all that is set and done he gives you the Pokémon as a reward and then sets you off to challenge your rival over on the next route. The same old evil organization up and developing in the shadow's of Hoenn, a evil organization know as Team Aqua who's goal is to expand the ocean's and seas and overflow the land with water for the benefit of water Pokemon, unlike there counter part, the evil Team Magma who's goal is to drown out the sea and ocean's to expand landmass expand the sea for land based Pokémon, ultimately both evil organizations awaken the super ancient and power legendary Pokémon of the sea and land, Groundon and Kyorge. So basically like it's like this, set off on your journey, raise battle your Pokémon and overcome the many challenges you will face while trying to become a Pokémon master by beating the elite 4 and filling your pokedex page with information on every Pokémon in the Hoenn region. So for Pokemon onix blue I rated the story low because nothing about the story was really changed so that ultimately brought down appeal to me.
Depth: 5
"Just how big of a game is Pokémon onix blue?",The game is moderately big ,it has hidden area's like below mt.pyre were you can go and catch Lugia and Ho-oh. And all across the map specifically near the edges of towns there are caves and different paths that lead to different legendary Pokemon.
Difficulty: 5
"How hard was Pokémon Sapphire, what's the difficulty like?",Well like most Pokémon games the difficulty ins't an issue, they are really easy if you raise a well balanced team and or one Pokémon to an extremely high level or just flat out use legendary Pokémon that are incredibly easy to gain in the game at at the very beginning . The game is easy if you have the type advantage over the Pokémon your batting, the games A.I. Is still brainless and makes consistent mistakes and purposely has huge gaps in its battle strategy.
Overall: 8.8
Overall I gave the game a 8.8 because while I like the creators choices on what pokemon should be on what gym leaders or elite four members team, I felt as though the story should have been more creative and different than regular old sapphire but I do give the creator some props for the scenery, the scenery in towns and routes really make the game look and feel more realistic and gives you the feel that you are in a new world.

Pokemon onix blue marcus047
This hack is very unique in the fact that not only your starter is a legendary Pokémon, the creator hacked your rivals Pokémon team, some gym leaders teams and even some elite four teams, the landscape and the Pokémon that appear in the game. Now I'm not gona sugar code it, the landscape changes where quite annoying from the start, but if you could look past that the game itself isn't that bad.
Graphics well they are the exact same as the game its based off of which would be Pokémon sapphire for the Game Boy Advanced so rated it a 9.
Sound was basically repeating throughout which, was the normal sounds for Pokémon sapphire (which wasn't that good at all to begin with)so I gave it a 5.
Addictiveness well that fell short, the only reason I could find to keep playing after I defeated the elite four was the fact that theres a certain place you go to,(below Mt. Pyre) where you can catch Lugia, Which to me after I did that it had no reason to continue playing so there's really no replay value, so I gave it a 5.
Story is regular sapphire so nothings really changed there so I gave it a 5, mainly because of the extra "catch Lugia feature" in the game.
Depth I gave a 6 because the only reason why it took so long to beat is because of the way the hacker choose the landscape which in my opinion didn't add to the games worth or challenge, it only made me personally upset and confused.
Difficulty well quite honestly speaking the only thing that made the hack hard was trying to navigate through it, the gym leaders Pokémon my have been changed and the elite 4's and as well as regular trainers but it didn't add any difficulty to the game its self, the A.I.'s are still brainless and make constant mistakes in battle tactics so that's why I game the games difficulty a 2.

Nice concept sirhc1801
Well...firstly, this game is a hack of Pokemon Sapphire where the creator has edited a variety of things, such as tiles, pokemon locations, some gym leaders, inclusion of Aqua and Magma members as portable marts and a couple of other interesting ideas.
Graphics - No different to Pokemon Sapphire, so no stand out features in this department. The idea of putting grass in each town was unique but generally didn't add any real value to the game. However, fortunately, I always liked the GBA graphics so 9/10
Sound - Alas, cannot hear on my PC so I'll presume its the same as normal so 9/10
Addictiveness - The game was too similar to the original, with some of the changes being quite irritating as it made it difficult to manoeuvre and find places. The inclusion of legendaries as starters was unnecessary and they all have powerful moves to begin with, so I actually placed mine in my box and effectively had Nidoran as my starter pokemon. I only completed it to see what new pokemon would be found per area, so I guess that aspect contributed to it. However it did enable you to get a much varied team, which I did actually enjoy with my unique team of Nidoking, Sneazel, Scisor, Gorebyss, Pidgeot and Aggron so 8/10.
Story - No change to the original, which I found dull to begin with so 8/10.
Depth - Not much to it, not every pokemon can be caught so I saw no point in continuing the game afterwards, again, no real difference from the original, but I do like being able to create a varied team and may consider making one completely different so just 8/10.
Difficulty - Well... I beat the elite 4 with pokemon in their low 40s, with only one really core type of water. Never was challenged throughout the game due to the abundance of types in each area making the gyms pretty easy, so I'm giving this a 7/10.
Overall - I'd recommend this game as something to just pass the time, I was bored for a lot of it so if you're looking for a challenge then go elsewhere. The changes in location of pokemon is something I could do, and the changes of the areas made the game annoying and slower at times, unnecessarily. So overall, I wouldn't play this again, nor am I contemplating playing it past the elite 4. So it was a nice idea, but just too unoriginal and this made it less enjoyable in my opinion.
P.S - In Sootopolis, at the top right house, go down one or two steps on the staircase and turn left, on the normal games you can stand on the wall of that point as a bad glitch, but on this one, if you do it then it transports you somewhere...Good luck with the game though!

The Review I've been waiting for Woodenfan
THIS IS IT. This is safely the first Pokémon game that I do NOT enjoy playing. The level design was unnecessary, the moves were inconsistent, and I was never a huge fan of R/S as opposed to Emerald.
Graphics: I NEVER liked R/S graphics, just because everything was incredibly pointed and unlifelike, so to speak. There was too much sharpness in it, whereas Emerald fixed up the graphics nicely.
I do like the sounds of R/S/E, so that's still high on this list.
Addictiveness: THIS is where the game crashed and burned for me. I found myself frustrated with the level design (too much sparse grass made training for the 5th gym a pain, not helped by the fact that the way the tiling was used made it more difficult to navigate than anything). I found the alternate paths and missions alright, but considering now that I'm stuck in the boundaries of space and time because I screwed up on Lugia, that is nearly inexcusable. For another matter: The starter Pokémon have GREAT movepools which only get better as time goes on. Why don't the others? This was something that could've been EASILY fixed and ruined the game for me.
Story: I was never a fan of R/S's story as compared to Emerald's: Lack of being involved in Aqua's/Magma's conflict wrecks the promise this game had (not that there was much to begin with). For what it is, though, it is decent, so it earns a passing grade in my book.
Depth: This goes equally low with Addictiveness for the same reasons above: I AM GLITCHED IN TIME AND SPACE. I refuse to restart the game, for I will only suffer endless torture for doing so. Really, this game lacks depth, due to the awful level design. I really don't like it.
Difficulty: MY GOD, THE DIFFICULTY. It's practically nonexistent. The Elite 4 has the same team they did in the original game, which was a MASSIVE letdown, further ruining the game for me. (I rebattled some trainers with the Match Call feature, and found one Youngster with a Missingno, then transferring to Lv. 100 Pokémon. That was a shocker.) Again, this game really crashed due to its lack of polish. If the creator decides to continue with this, go ahead. Redeem it. I'll play it.
