Overall, this was a fantastic game. I logged over 120 hours of game play, beat both elite fours and the world championship, and was working on catching all the legendaries. The writer should be proud of his work, it's one of the few games that offers a substantial amount of stuff to do after the Elite Four. Very impressed, just a few slight quirks
Graphics: The same as any modern Pokémon game, nothing really good or bad there.
Sound: Never played with the sound because I like speeding up the game haha. But from what I heard it was fine.
Addictiveness: Dude. This is by far the best game on here. Like I said, 120 hours of game play (sped up into about 10 hours, of course). This one will keep you coming back. There's so much to do, you can't just STOP.
Story: For a completely original storyline, I was impressed. Many times these hacks don't really have a decent background, but everything is well explained and logical. Team Steam (the new evil) has a few leaders, including one you piss off by destroying her over and over again lol.
You also have like 6-8 rivals over the course of the game. This can be both good and bad. If you have a well rounded team, extra experience. But they also have this habit of showing up at the most annoying times. It's a love-hate relationship. Also, you have to go find EVERY SINGLE GYM LEADER. Not a SINGLE one is EVER where they're supposed to be. This gets kind of annoying after about 6 or 7 times tracking them down and then walking back to the gym just to fight them. On the plus side though, the story goes on for a really long time without repeating itself or getting boring.
Depth: This is where this game REALLY shines. After beating the first elite four, another set of eight gyms opens along with a second elite four. And after you beat THAT, the world championships open, which is a tournament of 6 guys in a row (no healing time) culminating in a face off with Ash Ketchum (who has all level 100's) for the title of World Champion! CRAZY! After that, there's EVERY SINGLE legendary from EVERY SINGLE game EVER to catch, if you needed still more to do. I wish the original games had had this much depth, this is seriously like three games in one.
Difficulty: This feature ranges quite a bit. The first 8 gyms + EF are pretty standard. You actually have to train your guys before the elite four (unless they were already somehow over 55) in order to win without just revive-heal crap over and over. After you move on to the next set, however, all of the trainers are at like level 40. The crap? Your weakest guys can manhandle them. Even the guys in gyms are weak (though the leaders are still mid 60-70's). Also, the world championships are not really that hard (I managed to beat it without a single guy over 68 using type advantages). And the saddest part is, while trying to collect all the legendary Pokémon, I found celebi in a part of the woods that had not previously been opened. So, naturally, I saved before trying to catch it. I caught it easily enough, but when I went to leave the woods had reclosed! I tried to fly, dig, focus punch... Nothing. So thus ended my game. A tiny glitch, but very unfortunate for me haha. So save OUTSIDE the area with Celebi before you catch it. Overall, though, the game is hard enough so you can't just blaze through, but non-experienced players should be fine. A good medium.
Again, this game is phenomenal. I know it sounds like I'm really hard on it, but all this stuff is tiny. It's very enjoyable and is the most in depth Pokémon game I've played by a long shot. To many hours of fun! Overall, this was a fantastic game. I logged over 120 hours of game play, beat both elite fours and the world championship, and was working on catching all the legendaries.
