To start I do not usually play Emerald hacks because I do not like how there is so much more puzzles to go through. I am more of a training up my Pokemon and beating the E4 as soon as possible just to add the hack to my list of completed games. However, this hack was actually interesting and definitely more enjoyable than the original Emerald version of which this is a hacked version of. I had to go to google for the puzzles and to figure out what to do during different points of the game just because I haven't played Emerald in a while. This game is really good and fun to play and offers so much more than the original Emerald game.

Overall: 10
This hack deserves a 10/10 rating. It had different starters, great wild Pokemon, some pretty interesting map changes for certain cities and towns which held really cool "secrets: as the creator puts it, the E4 is changed up and is stronger than usual both with attacks and levels, and of course the champion..... 1 word of advice for the champion and that is to have a variety Pokemon team because the champion's Pokemon are apparently hand picked by the creator of the hack! Seems kind of scary and trust me it is.....

Graphics: 10
I absolutely LOVED how some of the graphics were switched around in this hack! Some Pokemon like my Blastoise and Charizard had really neat looking glows when you threw them out during battles! Blastoise had this blue shine to it and my Charizard had a red shine, both were similar but still pretty cool. Then the creator kept the cut scenes in it where you saw Groudon and Kyogre battling which was really epic and different! So graphics deserve a 10/10 because it was both better and considering the console it is under the graphics were great!

Sound: 10
Not much to say about this since the creator of this hack chose not to play around with some of the in game tracks. I however, like the fact that nothing annoying was added and made the experience with listening to the music in game more enjoyable than usual.

Addictiveness: 9
This hack had great wild Pokemon, interesting starters, cool map add-ons that were great and helped make training your team easier, and of course it had a harder difficulty but not enough where you do not enjoy the game but enough where it gave you a little challenge. Of course the difficulty curve from the last gym leader to the E4 and then to the Champion was a little more drastic than I would have wanted this hack was just great and fun! I want to play this game again before trying another hack just to make a whole new team! I thought it was genius to make an Eevee route in the game as well as have all 3 generations of starters available in the same routes right in the beginning of the game.

Story:10
Description of game:
Pokemon Final Flames is a hack created by Deadend136 who also made Pokemon G Version as well as Pokemon Double Battle.

In this hack your new starters are Eevee, Vulpix, and Growlithe. Now as all my fans know I always add the same held item for all of the starters and the held item is none other than the FIRE STONE! That means that right when you get your starter from the professor you are able to evolve it right away! Now why is there a boost like this so early on in the hack you ask? Well let’s just say your starters are a little under leveled and your rival’s starter is one that we all hate if you are a fan of the Crystal, Silver, and Gold titles!

Some changes in this hack from the original is a larger variety of wild Pokemon in the grass, in some towns and cities there are grassy areas with a surprise waiting in each, rival’s starter has an annoying held item, E4 is changed almost completely, gym leaders are stronger, the champion is the team I used when I played through the original Emerald and higher leveled, and even a few map changes! And you can battle through the Battle Pyramid in this hack like the original which only adds to the fun!

I hope you all enjoy my first non-beta hack I made and please rate even if you hate and feel free to add many screen shots because I personally feel that this hack is the best of my 3 I have out on here!

So as you can see the story is pretty much the same but the hack included many different changes which made the story change a little more which was very nice!

Depth: 10
Usually the depth of Pokemon games in general is just getting a team, beating the gyms, destroying a criminal organization, and becoming the champion of the region. This tends to be the same way with many hacks out there now and very few hacks actually allow you to do different things. This hack allows you to do contests, this battle building where you earn prizes by battling with different Pokemon, and you are able to destroy 2 criminal organizations! And after that you are allowed to become the big champion so the depth of this hack is definitely there! (Almost went all the way to the master contest hall with my Castform!)

Difficulty: 8
i can't give too much away but this hack can either be the easiest hack you have ever played where you do not start with an over powered Pokemon or it can be very difficult if you do not cheat with training which is easy to do in this hack. I actually found a few players end up grinding there team of 3 Pokemon to level 40 before even beating the first gym! You may think it would take a long time to do that but really the creator made it so that if you hate training your Pokemon up you can do it very easily which still takes some time but it does not take you hours like usual. I personally before wanting to face the E4 brought in a 6th team member from level 3(It was a charmander) and it only took me an hour to train it up to level 50. So if you are a player who hates training for hours just to beat a hacked game this game is definitely for you!

Hope you all enjoyed my review and definitely check this hack out! Congratulations to Deadend136 for reaching over 2.2k plays on it!

yoshirulez! :
Thank you so much! This is the first review I have written where I beat the whole game! Since I know the creator personally I was the tester before he submitted the game on here. It took some time beating the whole game since my usual emulator does not like Emerald games for some odd reason.... But again thank you so much! I really loved this game and it was so much better than the original game.

flyguy11 : This was a great review, the length was long but it was all quality. You did a great job promoting this users game. I heard this person made three hacks, if you have not done reviews for the other two, I suggest that you do.

Oh ok I will diffidently make sure to check out that hack that is a cool looking one.

Think this should be the featured review

I liked the review overall. The only small thing I'd suggest changing is in the story section. You pretty much restated the actual description of the game from the reviewer. Going more in depth on the actual story would be a appreciated. Other then that though I liked the review, and hope to see more made by you.

i really loved this game. but awesome job on the review it's a good long descript review just like they need to be. you showed great quality too keep on the review
