Pokemon Sapphire Review by: Dean2k13 - 8.5/10

Pokémon: Sapphire - Review by Dean 2k13 (FEATURED)
Hello there! This is going to be my review of the game 'Pokémon: Sapphire' I really hope you enjoy this review.

Alright lets go.

Graphics 9/10

The graphics within this game are almost perfect! You can obviously see that the creators of this game really put in a great amount of time and effort into making this game's visual appearance spectacular.There were great uses of color and shading throughout this game, this really impacted on my opinions and thoughts particularly in this aspect of the game. These colors were very cheerful and vibrant also. The graphics may be what you would expect from a GameBoy Advance game but the colorization scheme in this game is excellent.

Let's just jump straight into the scenery. The scenery in this game is utterly unbelievable in my opinion. There were great shades of coloring used in this game particularly on the nature of it. There is great imagery in this game. The trees, caves, buildings, routes and pathways are all amazing and you can definitely see without a shadow of doubt that the creator of this game put a lot of effort into them specifically, because after all we do see these features repetitively throughout the game.
The trees in this game were used effectively and all of them fitted in with their surroundings perfectly, there were great uses of green used on the trees and they looked very good quality so that was great to see. The colors of brown used in the making of the caves were also very vivid and clear as there were many different shadings used, there was amazing attention to detail. The shadowing inside the caves was very effective too, it made the cave look very creepy and obviously dark. The water in this game is the same as it is in every Pokémon game, deep blue colors which make the surf look pretty spectacular.

The towns in this game were really well work on, there was so much attention to detail. All of the towns were very pleasing on the eye, but more specifically Rustboro, it reminded me of the towns Saffron and Goldenrod from the games Pokémon Shiny Gold & Fire Red because of the old cobbled paths and the shiny buildings, the old fences and tall light posts. This town, in my opinion, was the best town in the game, because there was more detail put into this town than the rest of the towns.

The character sprites in this game are actually the best sprites I have ever seen, and you may think this is just hyperbole and exaggeration but I can assure you I'm being 100% serious. The creators went all out on the sprites in my opinion because their attire is amazing, I love the headband that your character (if you chose to be a BOY in the beginning) Brendan is equipped with is so awesome, it makes him look extremely tough, like a biker. His hairstyle is also very slick and amazing, the spikes on the rear view (back) of his head are so awesome! I really like them, and also I think the white hair makes him really stand out from the crowd, very dominant. His gloves are also so lavish, I really want them.. they're awesome! Finally, I like the use of green and red used in the characters clothing it's really attractive and a great mix of color.

The rival (if you chose to be a BOY in the beginning) May's sprite is also very nice and pretty attractive in my opinion, she wears a really cool bandanna which makes her look really awesome and fierce, and those characteristics are really hard to find in a female character, as you would know from watching the anime series. May's hairstyle is really attractive for an animated character, the fringe is particularly nice. Her gloves are even better than Brendan's, the colors used on them are extremely cool. Both characters have the same particular theme of coloring, the whites, the greens, the reds and the blacks, they all tie in with each other and it makes the characters look amazing.

Overall I'm really impressed with the graphics in this game, there was a lot of detail in each aspect of the game which is always great to see. My only criticism is that I was expecting it, there were no surprises in this game concerning the graphics. I would also like to add that the battle concepts in the game were tremendous, it made you want to battle even more.

Sound 5/10

The sounds in this game weren't as great as that of Pokémon Fire Red. Fire Red's music was fast and upbeat and it got your blood flowing, and even the quiet music soothed you and made you feel relaxed. But, in this game the music was TOO slow, the music in the towns was very slow, there were barely any vibes or catchy tunes that I could cling onto and get into.The music in this game didn't change how you felt within the game really at all.

The music that plays when you cycle your bike in this game is extremely boring unlike the other Pokémon games, again there was nothing in the tune that I could get into and enjoy. However, this game, as well as all Pokémon games has the classic sound that plays when you catch a Pokemon which was really good and was probably the highlight of all the music that was introduced into the game. Even though the tune plays every time you catch a Pokemon it's still pretty awesome and really nice to listen to, like I said before in previous reviews, it makes you feel that you completed a goal and to be proud of yourself. The creepy tunes of the basements also were in this game which also helped improve my opinions on this games sound. Like I said before, "it makes you feel that your on a mission and you can't be seen. This music really pulls on your senses, you're always alert and ready for battle in the basements because of the music. "

The battle music that plays when you're battling, of course, is very good to listen to after listening to the terrible music (in my opinion) that played in the towns, it's very similar and identical to that of Fire Red's as it's a really fast tune that gets your blood pumping. This music also has great vibes to it. The Pokemon league music was amazing too! The tunes were very fast and upbeat and filled you with passion and made you really want to win which is great as it puts you in the 'Zone'. All gamer's will know what the 'Zone' is.

Addictiveness 10/10

This game is very, very addictive. I played this game when I was a lot younger all the time, it was my only hobby for about a year when I was nine years old, and I still do play this game at this age when I have the spare time that is. It's an amazing game and it's really safe to say that this game created my childhood.

This game is situated in Hoenn which is ONE of the BEST regions in the whole of Pokémon, it's second after Kanto. There's actually so much to do in this region, I particularly loved gambling, boy is it fun! Mauville provided all my betting needs, it provided a good ole Game Corner which to be full honest everyone loves! Seeing those three sevens appear in a line is amazing because you win so much game coins which can be exchanged for amazing prizes, yup I was really addicted to the Game Corner.

The Hoenn start Pokémon are also very cool! Mudkip, Treeko and Torchic, all three of them are amazing which is why I traded to get all three. All of them Pokémon are extremely powerful and competed very well in battle which is why I was heavily addicted to the battling in the game. The legendary Pokémon within this region are extremely epic! There's so many of them but for the sheer huge amount of them, they're all pretty strong. Latias. Latios. Kyogre. Rayquaza. Groudon. Jirachi. Deoxys and not forgetting the lean mean destroying machines Regirock, Regice and Registeel! The amount of legendary Pokémon in the game drew me into the game even more and made me want to play it even more hence adding to the addictiveness.

This game is very similar to Fire Red in that there is no end to the battles, every where you go there's a trainer willing to battle you with all his/her might, there is no escaping them and you must defeat them. I love Pokémon battles as it fills me with excitement and ruthlessness so this was really good for me! I'm addicted to Pokémon battling so the amount of battles in this game drew me in even further and I became even more addicted to the game. The battles in this game were fairly challenging and really tastes your battling skills which is a good thing because it provides more game play to the game because it may take a user a while to defeat their opponents. There was also a Trainer Tower in this game too which was really thrilling! If you love leveling your Pokémon then this is the place for you, I recommend this game to all you battle maniacs out there. The Tower really tests your abilities as the Pokémon you face are the same level as your Pokémon.

Overall I found this game extremely addictive.

Story 9/10

This story differs from the other stories from the very beginning. Yes you are welcomed into the world by the local professor, in this case it's Birch, yes you choose your characters name (default - Brendan). But, in this game you do NOT choose your rivals name, it is already fixed. If you choose to be a male character your rival will be May and if you choose to a female character your rival will be Brendan. Also, you do not automatically start off in your town like the other games, in this game you are inside a removal truck which creates a sense of wonder and suspense of what's going on? This truck drops off outside your home in LITTLEROOT which is a nice little town. In this game, there is a clock therefore it is time-based and specific events take place at specific times which is great. Professor Birch is not in his lab, very similar to Fire Red. This time the professor is being attacked by a ZigZagoon and you have to help him, he tells you to choose a Pokémon from his bag and you defeat the wild Pokémon with it. Birch then gives you the Pokémon you chose. Overall this is a very dramatic way to begin a game, a very cunning way to start an adventure.

This game is very similar to the rest of the games, you collect GYM badges, you battle with all your might travelling through all the towns in the region and you eventually beat the Pokémon league, all straight forward stuff.

Depth 8/10

This game is really detailed, there's actually an obscene amount of detail. This game is different in that you're not facing the well-known Team Rocket but another very vicious group called Team Aqua. And again, this whole Team Aqua scandal takes forever to resolve, they're always moving to different bases throughout the game and it's up you to find them, and while you're searching for them they're making evil plans and you have to resolve them too, so this adds to the depth of the game. Also, when you find Team Aqua and battle them they like to move around leaving you there stranded, having to get out their base and then progressing through more towns to find them again.

It takes forever completing all of the Kyogre tasks, the awakening and then the calming, Team Aqua of course are the cause of this because they have the Orb that awakens the beast.
Overall, this game is long and enduring in my opinion.

Difficulty 7/10

In my opinion, this game is semi-difficult. I only found a few of the GYM's really challening to tackle and overcome, especially the last two, they were really tricky as their Pokémon were really high leveled and a lot more advanced in their evolution stages than mine, but after hard work and determination I succeeded and earned the badges. I found the league was also very simplistic to be honest, their Pokémon were very easy and weren't very effective against mine, It only took me one try before I conquered them. The elite were too easy for me, I would have preferred a greater challenge to be honest, considering they're supposed to be the best of the best, they really weren't.

Catching the legendary Pokémon in the game was fairly easy (bar a few) in my opinion because they didn't really have any strong stats. Getting the Regi's was pretty difficult as you needed the move dig, and you couldn't just obtain the TM Dig, you had to level up your Pokémon to a high level in order to achieve dig. It took me weeks to do this because I didn't have a clue what Pokémon could learn dig, so it was really difficult catching those Pokémon.

Overall I think this game is tremendous and should most definitely be given a try, there is a lot more to this game than the other previous games. There is great depth in this game and also a great story line which relates to Pokémon Ruby's which I will review very soon. It isn't too difficult so it welcomes young users who may want to try this game. I highly recommend this game, please try it. Have Fun!

Thanks for reading.

This is an excellent game to play, but I'm a little peeved, as I was with D&P, and probably will be with Pokemon: B&W, that there is only a version exclusive legendary. Given the choice I'd pick Kyogre, Yes, but I want both. The route inbetween Mauville and Lavaridge is a bit too long as well, but otherwise, a great game.
