Well at first I thought It was just going to be a terrible hack of Pokemon but well now I think differently because the game's story interested me from the start because it was totally different to what I expect from a Pokemon game but I think this game is no different from any other Pokemon game as it's still the same formula which is collect 8 badges and beat the Pokemon league.
 
I haven't gotten to far into the game so my review is only of what I've experienced so far but I've played so many pokemon games that I don't feel the need to complete the game to review it as I know what to expect from pokemon games.

There are a few things I've noticed when playing the game for example some Pokemon's move sets seem to have changed or appear different & I'm thinking it's because the developer of the hack kept everything at 3rd Gen meaning moves like force palm or dark pulse do not exist in this game which makes me sad because there are Gen IV & Gen V Pokemon on this game.

The other thing I have noticed which is rather is that you have to backtrack often in this game which can take awhile but I'm glad the hacker put in a talking guide stone as it's great to always know where I have to go next.

The difficulty in this game is quite high as the levels of your opponents seem to be random e.G. The difference between the 1st symbol & second symbol was about 7-8 levels which I think is quite big and it caused me some difficulties but I managed to win eventually.

The graphics aren't really worth mentioning as it's exactly the same as pokemon emeralds so you will know what to expect.

The sound in the game was refreshing at first but I didn't find the battle music all that great it just seemed to not match with the game at all.

I find this game as addictive as any other pokemon game as it's the same thing you just collect your team then build it to become Pokemon master.

To be honest this game has huge depth simply because this game world is huge also the areas  are quite varied as they range from the sea to the desert and you can tell the developer made some effort in making this world.

The story well I mentioned earlier how I find the story interesting well it was certainly different from a normal Pokemon game which made me happy since for the first time ever it seemed more realistic e.G. You the main character was just a young boy who always dreamed to get a Pokemon and start an adventure but you mum didn't want you to become a guardian trainer because she was worried about losing you and I suppose things like this sound more realistic as parents would be like that in real life.

Overall I give this game an 8 because the music was poor and the backtracking is tedious which is a let down but I think everything else was perfect for a Game boy advanced Pokemon game I even think in some ways this game is much better than emerald and so I end my review here and hope others can look at my review and share similar view.

I couldn't agree more with your statement.
At first, when I just got my starter Pokémon, I thought the game would be really confusing and hard + annoying, it turns out it wasn't.
Its much MUCH better than I thought and I enjoy playing it :3

I would give it a 8.5

I might try playing this. :3 I've been looking for some good Pokemon hacks with a decent storyline.

Pokémon Ruby Destiny - Life of Guardians is a really great but the beginning of the game is hard because you have to Go back and fourth to Other town. Great review though .
