Overall the game is very unique, it can even be considered its own standalone Pokémon game. The overall feel of the game is very focused and centered on contributing to the normal feel of the original Pokémon games.
   The graphics are changed slightly and it's definitely toward the better. The way the ground and trees are colored and shaded add to a nice sense of a new game.
   The sound is as perfect as its ever been with the music sounding crystal clear.
   I would definitely play this game again. This is one of my favorite home-brews ever made because it still looks and feels like a normal all in one Pokémon game. This is something I'll be showing to my friends for years.
   The story could of done some changing. It didn't stray to far from the original fire red version which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it would have been nice to see some added time on the story.
   The game is of decent length. It's about the same as any other Pokemon game you've played. I would have liked to have seen more, although I do love the fact that some gen three Pokemon made their way into the game, but I wish you could also get the legendaries from gen three.
   On the difficulty scale I'd give it a seven. It's slightly more challenging then the original fire red and that helps to make it feel like a whole new game, but I wouldn't say it's unbeatable. As long as you put time into training your Pokemon, you'll be fine in the long run. If you want a more challenging game I'd recommend shiny gold x
