Well Pokemon Shiny Gold is just like what the name suggests, a remake of Pokemon Gold and I have to say and give major props to the creator of this hack, Zel for making this really authentic Pokemon Gold hack. Pokemon Shiny Gold really has the aspect,sound, locations and overall map of Pokemon Gold to the T. Every object in the hack Pokemon Shiny Gold down to even the most minor, insignificant, un-noticeable detail is exactly identical and positioned to where it would be found in original Pokemon Gold including the Pokemon them self's as well as items and cell phone booths. My only complaints with the hack is the Kanto region part of the game is incomplete and when you face a certain trainer in a house in Lavander town in Kanto, if you win the battle agaist that trainer the game freezes and takes you back to the main menu/title screen. Graphics: 9 "What are the graphics like in Pokemon Shiny Gold?",Well Pokemon Shiny Gold's graphics are based after Pokemon Firered 's graphics so the quality in the graphics is what you would expect from Pokemon Firered.Even though Pokemon Shiny Gold is a Firered hack, the entire map from the Kanto region as been stripped from the game and the creator remade Johto from the ground up in the hack and well its a perfect copy of the entire Johto map and everything in each town.You can see your reflection on water surfaces and ice, the buildings were coded beautifully into the towns and line up right where they are suppose to be in coherence to Pokemon Gold. Your avatar sprite from Gold has been coded into the game and all the Johto spirits have been coded into the game quite well, my only complaints is the Pokemon sprites look slightly distorted pixel wise with there out lining.Sound: 10 Addictiveness: 6 Story: 7 "What's the story like in Pokemon Shiny Gold?", The goes a little like this.The story line picks up approximately three years after the first generation in the Johto Region, which neighbors Kanto, with a new trainer in a small town similar to Pallet town. This is actually a fairly strong way to continue their adventures and keep the original spirit and charm as there could be continuations from kanto. In all Actuality...there are continuations from certain aspects of the Kanto story line, but it is still left relatively vague which means it retains the same advantages and disadvantages the original generation contained: you can build your own story how you want, but people looking for a pre-destined detailed story will be somewhat disappointed. What storyline aspects there are, however, are well put together and should satisfy the average fan.The game-play remains primarily the same as earlier games: gain a starter Pokémon, build a team and work your way through the gyms. The concept of capturing Pokémon in the wild, and building a team of Pokémon is still there, the movement between places are still the same, and the style is virtually identical. The single biggest difference between the game play is more to do with layout of the various text-based systems from the first generations and making them more user-friendly. For instance, TMs and HMs now has the number AND the name given on the spot, which is a huge advantage over the previous TM system. As well, the inventory has been improved to have separate "pockets" where different types of items can be stored. This not only helps resolve the clutter from the original inventory, but also immensely helps increase overall storage by several fold. Whereas one would have their home computer cluttered, it is possible to go the entire game without using it once as TMs and special "quest" items will no longer take up the entire inventory. The PC, speaking of which, had some minor improvements as well as there is now a limited visual feedback provided, yet one minor disappointing factor is that there isn't more space considering the influx of new Pokémon. All in all Pokemon Shiny Gold's storyline is in exact concordance with the original game its based of off.Depth: 6 "What's the depth like in Pokemon Shiny Gold?", Well Pokemon Shiny Gold is a game of pretty decent length although the Kanto region in the game isn't complete and some of the towns aren't accessible. The game has 12 gyms in total altogether including the accessible ones in Kanto. You can catch some of the Pokemon from the Kanto region and Pokemon that usually evolve from trade can be obtained by raising the Pokemon to a high enough level or by one of the evolutionary stones. You get the evolutionary stones in the Kanto region at Bill's house, you have to show him a certain Pokemon for each stone you want. In the game you can participate in gambling at the game corner or going on Pokemon catching safari's.Difficulty: 5 Overall: 9 Graphics: 9 "What are the graphics like in Pokemon Shiny Gold?",Well Pokemon Shiny Gold's graphics are based after Pokemon Firered 's graphics so the quality in the graphics is what you would expect from Pokemon Firered.Even though Pokemon Shiny Gold is a Firered hack, the entire map from the Kanto region as been stripped from the game and the creator remade Johto from the ground up in the hack and well its a perfect copy of the entire Johto map and everything in each town.You can see your reflection on water surfaces and ice, the buildings were coded beautifully into the towns and line up right where they are suppose to be in coherence to Pokemon Gold.

tgags123 : Thank you for taking the time to read and provide feedback on my review its greatly appreciated. But you shouldn't compare posting quality to how long someone's been registered on Vizzed because that doesnt really have anything to do with the quality of a post. Anyone can make a decent well thought out post or review if they put enough time and effort into it regardless of the amount of time they have been on vizzed . But anyways thanks for the feedback! |

Divine Aurora : My point wasn't that you have to be here a long time to have good posts. My point was that even though you're pretty new, you are already a well-known poster and one of the best on Vizzed. |
