Don't be fooled by what other reviewers say. This game is ridiculous, a complete waste of viz. I normally don't review until I get quite a long ways into a game or once I finish it, but this game was rage-inducing. The main reason I couldn't stand this game was the accumulative amount of glitches it has.
Graphics-It's the same graphics as ruby and sapphire, except the character sprites are choppy. The only reason I rated this a 5 was because I was able to play as a small child for a short period of time. Even so, I got glitched out as soon as the game started. The first glitch happened after i set the time, and my sprite was walking through the floor-his head poking out the top. The second glitch was my character surfing on land after I got randomly teleported. The final glitch that made me ragequit was when I was challenged to battle when i didn't even have a pokemon yet and the game froze after the battle started. With this many bugs, the game is in no condition to be played. It needs to be patched.
Sound-Same music as in ruby and sapphire. Can't hate it, but it's not really creative.
Addictiveness-Too many bugs to proceed through the game
Story-The story makes absolutely no sense. It starts out the game like all other pokemon games with the professor talking about pokemon and whatnot, which is the only reason it gets a 2. After it's over, you appear in a cave surrounded by two clones of yourself and Ash's sprite. The 2 clones do the same thing and teleport you outside. Ash will allow you to set the time, and leave after it is set. There is no explanation of how you get here, no help to get you started, and no pokemon to start you out. It makes no sense.
Depth-I could not get very deep into the game because of the problematic and random glitches caused by progressing through the story
Difficulty-Too many bugs to progress.
This game should not have been released. I would not play this game again unless it had some serious fixes done. I would recommend not wasting your viz on this.

Pokemon Pink Version Firewater252
Beginning games for Pokemon is Fire Red and Leaf Green, this is not one of those games; however, it is well made! The story line is well thought out and the graphics are your basic Pokemon graphics, what you'd expect. Playing it on the computer you would expect the game to be blurry, but it shows up well and clear. I have nothing really bad to say about this game at this time.
Following the introduction we find ourselves inside a cave, having 3 people to talk to we see that there isn't much choice in what to do. Speaking to the young man at the front of the cave gives us the option to change the time, and displays a regular watch that we program (people who only know how to read digital might have a problem). Speaking to either of the two other individuals in uniform transforms you into a younger or older state- as far as I am aware. They both speak the same thing, "12", but the first transforms you into a young girl and the second transforms you into a balloon-like persona.
Exiting the cave we find our bag in a puddle- soaked! We remove our stuff and proceed to talk to an elderly gentlemen who advises us to catch the boat before it leaves. Continuing down the path we speak to another person who gives us running shoes, that-believe it or not- make us faster. Unfortunately we come across the next individual who wants us to battle, and my game crashes. Thanks all I have so far!

A Not Too Bad But Not Great Game zenx
This is probably classified as an old hack by now, but I have decided to add a more generous review.
Like the other reviewer(s) said: If you don't like trying games that aren't really good in quality, don't waste your precious Viz on this one.
Overall Rating - 7.2: This game really isn't that bad overall. I would be made to think that this would be the first time this person has created a hack. It was a pretty darn good attempt too seeing as though I would NOT have a clue of how to even create a hacked version of a pokemon game. I probably rated this game too high according to some people who have tried and strongly disliked it, but this is my point of view of the game.
Graphics - 6: What I like about the graphics in this game is the fact that the creator actually bothered to change both main characters (Brendan & May) from the sapphire sprite to the fire red versions of them (Brendan is the one that you could amusingly described as "the balloon-shaped head"). One thing that bugged me is that they did not change the sprites of the characters running, the head becomes all weird colours.
Glitches in this game are the big let down. I have to be honest and say that I had to use cheats to walk through walls after I reached the kidnapping of the protagonist's mum in the game to be able to finish it, but it was worth it.
Sound - 8: The music remains unchanged. I can say, like many others that I rated this pretty high because even though the original soundtrack has been listened to plenty of times from playing several different hacks of pokemon emerald, sapphire and ruby, you can never get enough of that good quality, motivational and entertaining background music.
Addictiveness - 6: This game actually got me addicted up until the very end, due to the decent storyline. I gave it a 6 because of how others would probably view this game, as a hack that had not enough effort put into to fix the errors, and one that wouldn't really attract much attention for gamers who like good rom hacks.
Story - 5: This game actually has a decent story, explaining how and why you arrive in a new location, which is talked about in the title sequence. The creator was even smart enough to add an unexpected character, a friendly female team rocket member! However, most of the storyline it a little childish, but it was pretty funny and entertaining at the same time. It also does not really flow well, with some sudden events happening, though these sudden events leave you smiling about how silly the sprites or characters were in their actions or looks.
Depth - 7: This game actually offers quite a lot (but be advised, you will need the cheat of walking through walls at some point of the game to be satisfied). I didn't time my self but it did take quite a long time to reach the point where the game really couldn't be continued.
Difficulty - 7: As I mentioned, the glitches of the game made it hard to progress to the next part of the story, if you entered a cave or area which had not been fixed or removed, or pressed the communicate button with a character that was not meant to be there, then you would be sent to a weird glitched up and random location, and would have to restart from the point you saved. This also caused me to take longer to figure out the correct way to finish the game.
Hopefully my review helped you decide whether or not to try out this game!
