I've been playing this game for over an hour now and have yet to be able to catch a single Pokémon. In my mind that presents a serious flaw. It's fantastic to have the ability to catch all of the start Pokémon from every series up to this point, but it does absolutely no good if, after 20 odd poke balls, you can't catch a single one. It didn't matter how low I had them on HP (I had a bulbasaur down to 1 hp, no defense after using my tailwhip, no accuracy after using my sand-attack) a regular poke ball would not catch them (which is all you have available to you to start out with). I am not positive if I'm the only person to have this issue or if it was reported multiple times? On top of that I discovered that EVERY SINGLE Pokémon you face is male. I'm not sure if that was done intentionally or not, but it does make it difficult if you decide to breed your Pokémon later on in the game, it also makes for a difficult immersion effect into the story. Some folks may not be bothered by genderless or gender-specific things, but if I am going to get involved in a Role playing Game I would like to be able to fully immerse myself in the experience.
I also ran into the ???????? Pokémon glitch. It appeared to be limited to a grass patch that was added inside of Oakdale Town and I didn't get that error on any of the other paths around there.
Graphics: 8 I took away a few points because of the ???????? Pokémon glitch as that is sort of a graphic issue and sort of a depth issue perhaps? But because this is a hack/homebrew of a pre-existing game I didn't feel that the rating system is all that fair to use with the exception of the overall rating.
Sound: 10 Who doesn't love the classic Pokémon 8-bit sound system?
Addictiveness: 4 I have to rate this low because if I can't catch a Pokémon at the beginning, what is the point of even playing? The eevee gimmick is fantastic, but it only goes so far.
Story: There doesn't seem to be any difference in the story from the original game other than you can choose an eeveelution as a starter Pokémon. It would have been really neat to see something like Pokémon Yellow but with an Eevee that you can choose to evolve into whatever eeveelution you wanted.
Depth: Unrated simply because I don't think it's fair to rate a copy of a standing game. It didn't have much in the way added to it other than impossible to catch starter Pokémon.
Difficulty: 10 I give it the highest rating because it is awful hard to play Pokémon without actually having more than 1 Pokémon. I'm not entirely certain why there was an issue there, but I was definitely having a severe problem.
Overall: 6 After thinking everything over rather carefully I don't think I could give this homebrew over a 6. I do see that the author has already updated the original version once, but I'd like to see some other edits to fix the uncatchable, male dominated Pokémon and the weird error with the ???????? Pokémon.
If I saw those fixes, I would gladly give this game a much higher rating and my vote for the homebrew contest.
