If not for the glitches that set it back, I think this game would be perfect but sadly it has a pretty major glitch, here are some of them:
-where you lose most of your TM's and HM's when you enter a city (even through fly). It normally happens on your first visit to the town but it happened to me after I flew back to the dragon village once.
-invisible walls!!!!! (not that major but I found a couple)
-This isn't a glitch: but i feel like its much harder to catch pokemon in this game ex: i tried to catch a lapras at red health with an ultra ball TWICE, it didn't work, then i went and paralized it and it finaly stayed in the ultra ball. i don't know if others are having that problem but that's what i keep running into.
-at the 2nd time against the elite 4, every time i talk to gary/rival, you freeze....so don't talk to him at your 2nd time around, just go right past him into the door.
-after you beat the elite 4 for the 2nd time, you replay the beginning cutscene (where you go and get your pokedex and starter etc.i was horrified as i thought i had to beat the game again, thankfully i still have everything

. on the bright side, you get another pikachu

but still glitchy
-from time to time when i fly to darkness creek, i get the text: i finally beat the 8?subordinate's?or whatever the text was after you beat all 8 guys

Also, this game has 8 unique Pokemon that have different typing (ex: zangoose is a steel/normal type instead of normal type)

GRAPHICS:?the game's graphics is pretty much the exact same as every other Pok?mon game. Nothing new here.?

Sound:?the sound in this game are also the same as every other Pok?mon game. I do like the healing sound when I pass the cursor over a city when I want to fly somewhere though

. However I don't turn my volume up often as I usually have my thumb on the space bar to speed up the game.

Addictiveness:?I found myself playing the game a lot. Until I found a dead end. I could never make it to the dragon village until much later because I never found the tiny little hole that your supposed to go through to get to that village, unlike fired and leafgreen, you don't have multiple routes to get to 1 village so you have to go around to find that 1 hole to get to the village. Thankfully this is only for that one village but still it got me stuck for some time. Other than that this game is quite addictive

Story:?the game's story is rather unique than other Pokemon story's. It involves your rival taking over the world. There is no Team whatever who will try to stop you. And after the elite four, there is an aftergame story that I will not explain in this review, but the aftergame is quite interesting, but its also overwhelming information as they just throw it at you and expect you to understand. But other than that I find this storyline better than the average day Pokemon game. also each person pretty much says the same thing such as :your name you truly are a hero. your gonna hear that a lot. It doesn't bug me that much but it may bug you seeing it too much.

Depth:?the game has lots to do as there is an aftergame afterall. Its pretty much Pok?mon leaf green with a different after game and no team rocket.

Difficulty:?the game is definitely harder than the average Pok?mon game, at several points in the game your forced to fight consecutive trainers at a time, usually one followed by your rival. Oh and the elite four uses legendaries.....but the aftergame in this game is rather easy. I'm not gonna explain why the aftergame is easy as that spoils the surprise but yeah the game is easy after the elite four.

?Overall this game is pretty good and you should definitely give it a try if you want

This game definitely sounds interesting in Story and in difficulty. Normally Pokemon can give a really good challenge, but this being harder might put me in a better interest to check it out.
