This game is the childhood show put together beautifully into a game. All the events are very accurate to the show and exact to the times they're supposed to happen. The story, as we all know, is a very good one, and it's refreshing to be able to have all three starter pokemon AND a pikachu. This is different from all other hacks I have ever seen in that it is so well-made and does not at all look like an illegitimate game. In fact, you could probably scrape this thing off the website and slap it into a gameboy game right now. As far as I can tell, there are no glitches that can stunt your progress in the game, which is always a plus for hacks, however, in my experience, this game does end up being a bit slow at times, even with the spacebar (ha ha, I think we all speed through because we can). The only things I dislike about the game are the fact that it can be slow (maybe just on my computer, I don't know), but also all the shop items are very expensive in proportion to the money you receive in battles. The price of a super potion nearly costs you an arm and a leg, and when revives are even available, eh, forget about it. You'll buy about two things and then be left with little to no money. Another issue with the game is that some battles are extremely hard, with pokemon levels higher than yours, even with the most training. The only storyline issue is figuring out where to go and where the dang HMs are hiding. Unless you remember all the shows exactly, you're going to have to have some help figuring out what to do at some parts. I spent some time on youtube walkthroughs before I was able to figure out how to get to some places or simply what to do next. The HMs are hidden with pokemon you obtain (check them to see if they're holding items!). However, there are several pros to this game that outweigh the cons. For one, the graphics are the best I've ever seen on a hack. Really, it was the first thing I noticed. Beautiful. Perfect. Wonderful. The sound is excellent too, clear and flawless, going nicely with each place and situation. The storyline is riveting and keeps you wanting more, and includes some of your favorite people aka Misty and Brock (even though they don't travel with you, but really, how can you set that up in a game to work?). There are several battles to participate in and the gym battles are very fair, if not somewhat easy with the right training. Sideplots are numerous and the rewards great. Really, this is a top-notch game and everyone should play it. Who wouldn't want to play out Ash's story? This is a game everyone's been waiting for, or at least I have, since I was about 5. 

Okay, this is pretty good, it is a good length and there was a lot of detail in your review. The only thing I would recommend doing is breaking down your review and keeping it into categories so it can be easier to read instead of one big paragraph, you had good reasoning and depth and your review, your point on the game was clear and consistent all the way through your review. You had a good word count and this is really good for a first review, just keep practicing and you will get even better with detail, length, organization and the quality of the content in the way you present it,  so keep up the great work and keep making more reviews! 

Thank you! I would have broken it up more, but my computer wasn't allowing me for some reason.
