Highly, highly overrated.
I am writing this review because I do not understand why everyone rates this ROM hack so highly. I see this hack being praised all over the Internet, hailed as one of the greatest Pokémon ROM hacks ever made. Even on here, Light Platinum has an overall rating average of 9.6. I was mislead by all the positive reviews into thinking this would be such an amazing hack, so I feel obligated to write a negative one myself after my bad experience with the game. There is so much blatantly wrong with this game that I don't even know where to begin. I suppose I'll just go in order. You're free to have whatever opinion you want about the game, but I feel like this game has a lot of obvious flaws that everyone is turning a blind eye to. _
Graphics - 7 Graphics look very nice on the surface. Note that I said "on the surface." First off, the maps. Rather than stick with the original RSE tilesets (this is a Ruby hack), the tilesets are taken from DPP, and for the most part, the mapping is well done. I actually think the mapping is done better and is more interesting/detailed than the mapping of Pokémon in the first four generations. But when you look deeper, the maps have some pretty glaring flaws. For one, for a supposedly complete game, there sure are many graphical glitches. There are many spots that look like you should be able to walk on, but can't. An example of this is Inhore City (the honey town), a four tile spot to the right of a house located to the right of a Pokémart. There's nothing there, yet you can't walk there for some odd reason. Tile passability on objects such as benches isn't set correctly, as in you cannot walk behind them, which I found most annoying in the starting town, Yellow Town.
I played as the girl character, so I don't know if the boy character does this, but my character's reflection in water is shown to be blonde for some reason instead of dark blue as shown on the actual sprite. The running sprit... Read the rest of this Review

Cool
Who hasn't wanted a Pokémon game where you play as Team Rocked before? Well, this is it. I like this so far, but I have to admit; the starter Pokémon aren't too good, I picked Meowth and he's okay but there could have been better starters. Another thing is some of the Pokémon that can be caught in the beginning take forever to learn new moves because they were meant to be obtained later. To fix this issue, the hacker could've hacked the movesets for these Pokémon so they're not stuck with one move until level 20 and etc. Like for example, have Growlithe learn Ember at level 10 instead of 18. Mine was stuck with just Bite and Roar for a while. This game also requires a lot of level grinding or else it'll be very hard, but I don't mind because I actually enjoy doing that unlike most people. Overall, pretty good hack. I like it.

Do NOT play this!
I played this game just to see how bad it was, and it also messed up my computer's resolution! Do not play this EVER.
