"New adventure, New story, New Pokémon, visually stunning".The game features a(n) all new story that takes place in the Hoenn region with an all new International criminal gang organization known only as Team Aqua who's motives are toover flow the the land with water to make/form new ocean's and seas for Pokémon, using the legendary power of the myth Pokémon known as Kyorgore. There are a huge amount of legendary Pokémon in this game which is very uncommon compared to the amount of legendary Pokémon seen in previous installments in the franchise( a total of 7 legendary Pokémon). The game has some very interesting and new features like for example it now rains(it can rain heavily or drizzle), the sun shines(it can be bright or drought like),there are two kinds of bikes instead of the usual one kind(mach or acro bike). Graphics: 10 "What can be expected out of the graphics portrayed in Pokémon Sapphire?",Well Once again gamefreak manages to pull another visually stunning display of beautiful animation.The waves out on the water move, you can see your reflection in small puddles ocean's. The colorization is the most realistic to date, meaning it feels almost real. The Pokémon look almost exactly like how they appear in the pokedex during battle, but with better resolution(pixel wise) and a lot better graphic design and color is evenly distributed through out. The graphics and color on the buildings and in towns have only gotten better and more unique and descrSound: 9 "What's the sound quality like Pokémon Sapphire?", well is like every other Pokémon game that comes out each one has its own new soundtrack, but the music does repeat constantly in battle which can get really annoying. The games sound quality its self is fine acoustics and pitch wise with no irregularity's such as sound distortions(unless you are using speed bar), scratches/repetitive beat repeat, or unsuspected stops and pick ups in sound when playing/listening to the games music.Addictiveness: 7 "So just how addicting is Pokémon Sapphire to play, what's it's reply value?" I'm very likely to replay this game because it had a lot of legendary Pokémon in it, followed by a way better story and unique all new Pokémon that truly are the most creative out of the entire franchise. What also made this game addicting was the many new features such as the Pokémon contest and the berry maker mini game.In Pokémon contest there are different difficulty ranks, normal,super,ultra and master. Also there is a new feature/challenge introduced to the Pokémon franchise, The Battle tower where you battle trainers and there Pokémon back to back for battle points which can be used to purchase items.Story: 7 "How does the story go in Pokémon Sapphire"?,The story goes like any other Pokémon game, except this time you wake up just moving into the new town of Littleroot, and your Mom has you set your clock and when you go downstairs she said your Dad's on Tv(because he is a gym leader), but by the time you look its over and then your Mom has you go meet your next door neighbors and once you do that you hear cries for help and then further go on to see the Pokémon professor Birch being chased down by a zigzagoon(new Pokémon) and so you have to get to his brief case to pick a Pokémon to help stop the zigzagoon from hurting him. After all that is set and done he gives you the Pokémon as a reward and then sets you off to challenge your rival over on the next route. Pokémon Sapphire has a new evil organization up and developing in the shadow's of Hoenn, a evil organization know as Team Aqua who's goal is to expand the ocean's and seas and overflow the land with water for the benifit of water Pokemon, unlike there counter part, the evil Team Magma who's goal is to drown out the sea and ocean's to expand landmass expand the sea for land based Pokémon, ultimately both evil organizations awaken the super ancient and power legendary Pokémon of the sea and land, Groundon and Kyorge. So basically like it's like this, set off on your journey, raise battle your Pokémon and overcome the many challenges you will face while trying to become a Pokémon master by beating the elite 4 and filling your pokedex page with information on every Pokémon in the Hoenn region. Depth: 6 "Just how big of a game is Pokémon Sapphire?",The game is a fairly big, the hidden area's like the place's where you catch the three regi's(the three new elemental legendary Pokémon), the island where battle tower is(battle frontier), and also shoal cave(behind Mossdeep city), Sky pillar(off the coast of Pacifidlog town) , only add to how large the game is. The game offers gamers/fans of the franchise, a all new adventure with new features never before seen to the franchise, tied altogether with new and old Pokémon.Difficulty: 6 "How hard was Pokémon Sapphire, what's the difficulty like?",Well like most Pokémon games the difficulty inst an issue, they are really easy if you raise a well balanced team and or one Pokémon to an extremely high level or just flat out use legendary Pokémon. The game is easy if you have the type advantage over the Pokémon your batting, the games A.I. Is still brainless and makes consistent mistakes and purposely has huge gaps in its battle strategy.Overall: 9.2 Overall I gave the game a 9.2 because it story truly is the best plot/story line I've seen out of the franchise, and it's features such as berry blender mini game and the all new Pokémon contest halls only added to the games overall appeal and addictiveness. So between beating the gyms and earning all the contest ribbons this game offered a lot to do with hours of entertainment, and I would recommend it to any fan of the franchise or anyone just starting out the franchise.Graphics: 10 "What can be expected out of the graphics portrayed in Pokémon Sapphire?",Well Once again gamefreak manages to pull another visually stunning display of beautiful animation.The waves out on the water move, you can see your reflection in small puddles ocean's.

Divine Aurora : This is a great review Divine Aurora. I always know what to expect when I see reviews written by you. You categorized everything, and show great expectations in it. You also went into a bunch of detail, and show much length in it. I agree with everything you said in this review, and I never thought this game would be so much fun in explanation. You did a really great job in describing this game info, and background info. You told about the evil organization team aqua, and you told us about the adventure that you go on. Good work, and keep it up dude i'm rooting for your reviews. I always know what to expect from your reviews as I already said . |

Thanks for the review, I personally prefer some of the other Pokémon games over sapphire (red, blue, black and white 2 etc) but its good to read opinions on all games. I love that your just plowing through all the Pokémon games. How far are you going to go on the series? Guess we will find out. Please continue! |

greenage3348 : I plan to review all the official Pokemon games in the series (including Pocket monsters green version). The Pokemon games I haven't reviewed yet is Pokemon leafgreen & Firered. I have reviewed Pocket monsters green version, Red version, Blue version, Yellow version, Gold Version, Silver Version, Cyrstal Version, Ruby Version, Sapphire Version, and (finally) Emerald Version. I have also reviewed Pokemon hacks like Pokemon Expert Emerald. After the Pokemon series I plan to review more games from the Mario franchise (Mario games that I haven't already reviewed). To everyone: Thank you for taking the time to read my view its greatly appreciated and thank you for the feedback, it always helps me become a better reviewer.
