I have played many Pokémon games on my Game boy, DS, and Vizzed, and I have to say, this is probably the best one I have played. After coming very close to completing this game, I already know that it is almost flawless. So, lets get to the ratings.

Graphics: 7

The graphics in this hack were quite similar to most Pokémon games, but the sprites for many of the newer edition Pokémon were amazing. I always completely forget that this is on GBA because of how great the graphics were. The numerous cities and towns looked great, each with its unique design with the houses, and the inside of the gyms and caves looked smooth and nice. So, I rated the graphics a 7 because it looked like most Pokémon games for the most part, but it had many unique features.

Sounds: 10
Unlike many people I know, I absolutely love the music in Pokémon games. I think its so catchy and fun and I love listening to it while I play. Its the only reason I will stop the speed up during my playing. Yes, I speed up my game almost all the time. It is the same as most Pokémon games, but I just absolutely love it. It deserves a 10

Addictiveness: 9

I played this game for so many hours over the time of so many days because I just love it. I know any Pokémon lover will come back to this game again and again, like I did. I guess there's not a whole lot else to say, other than you will come back to this game again and again. It deserves a 9.

Story: 9

I'm saying sorry in advance because this next part of my review may have a few spoilers, so if you don't want to know what happens because you haven't played the game yet, you might not want to read this part. The story in this hack was very well done. With Team Steam trying to capture Arceus and them appearing all over the place, it made the story very good. It made it even better when they were really easy to beat so you got lots of extra levels . There were some parts that angered me, like Zero beating me in the Distortion World so I couldn't catch Girantina, but there were also some parts that made me excited, like when I would beat the leaders, then got to watch Arceus stop the battles between many other legendaries. All in all, I gave the story a 9.

Depth: 9

I think that this game had more depth than most of the games I have played. It has 2 regions! How can a Pokémon game with 2 sets of gyms and Elite Four not be deep? Plus, you can get almost every Pokémon, from the Kanto region to the Unova region. There's always more Pokémon to catch, or somewhere new that you can travel. I thought that because of this, I should give it a 9.

Difficulty: 6

To wrap up this review, we will end on difficulty. I thought this game wasn't too hard, but it wasn't that easy either. Many of the gym leaders and Team Steam leaders had very high levels, and most of the time they were higher levels than I had. Even though this is the case, the game made sure there were many battles and long routes to train your Pokémon to get ready for it. I mean, the first gym had level 20s. That doesn't happen in many Pokémon games, but it was okay in this game because I got lots of battles and things to level up my Pokémon to get ready for the battle. I thought that it should get a 6, since it wasn't too hard but it wasn't super easy either.

So that's my review for this hack. I think it's very well done and I strongly recommend this game to anyone who loves a good Pokémon game. If this was bad, I apologize, it's my first review of a game. But stop judging my reviewing skills and go play this awesome game!

I agree with you this is a great hack, though to be honest I don't like sinnoh pokemon. I think the graphics deserve a higher rating than 7, They push the GBA to the limit (well the emulator). I really like the music to this hack and platinum it's self. It probably has the best battle theme out of all the generation though other people will argue.

Nice review, Keep it up.
