This is a Pokémon Emerald Review by DanielFantasyVI. I am fairly strict when it comes to the details of the game so my scores for this would be a bit lower than the average. I will rate each field and put why I have given that grade to that specific field. Also, I will put on recommendations, criticisms and some advantages of the game. Please do not comment anything against my opinion because this review is purely opinionated.
Graphics - 7
Honestly, this game's graphics is a bit bad, personally. The game's graphics is just average. There is nothing in particular that catches my eye or whatsoever. The creators should have put more detail and contrast in it. In this way, they could give as a better gaming experience and a whole new level in gaming. I perfectly understand that this is in Game Boy Advance but seriously, I prefer playing the hacks like Flora Sky, Platinum, and Light Platinum when it comes to graphics because the creators of these games put so much effort to it (I understand that programming and creating a game is hard and tedious) but a nice touch to the graphics would perfectly make the game better.
Sound - 8
The sound is pretty good for me. It perfectly matches the game's background and the nature. There is nothing in particular that is bad about the sounds, in fact, I like it. There is no weird sound or sounds that is bad to the ear. Sometimes, I listen to it using Youtube when I'm doing some schoolwork. Overall, the game's sound is nice and good. There is no need to edit the sounds in the game because for me, they are fine.
Addictiveness - 6
When it comes to addictiveness, this game doesn't quite meet the standards for me. Come on, all you just have to do is beat trainers and gym leaders and just level up your Pokémon by just repeatedly walking to the grass. The Pokémon's are cute though which somewhat boosted the addictiveness level. But, when you just base it on the fun that you have and the things you get to do, I could have rated this 2 or 3. The game is limited and there are only a few things that you get to do compared to other games.
Story - 4
There is nothing that much that interests me in the storyline. You are just an aspiring trainer dreaming to be the champion and catch all the Pokémon specific in that region. There is nothing that is lets say "exciting" or "mysterious." So, when you played this game for a while, you will pretty much get bored of this game. Personally, I have gone bored and tired of the game. What's more is the game is fairly short. I really wished that it was longer, had a lot of locations and cities and the thing that I'm looking for: Evil and Destruction.
Depth - 5
The game doesn't have a lot to offer. It only has a few. As I said in the previous paragraphs, the game is fairly short and you only have a few things to do in the game. This game is starting to get more boring by the minute as the game continues. I really wished that the game was longer and features 2 regions like HeartGold and SoulSilver. That way, it'll take longer. I even finished the game in 1 day. Overall, the game doesn't have a lot to offer and takes a little time to beat.
Difficulty - 2
When it comes to the controls, this game is easy. I guess you don't need an instruction manual for this (I didn't). When it comes to the whole game itself (story, battles, etc.), this game is VERY easy. I really need that they'll increase the levels of the pokemons of the trainers or the wild pokemons so that way, it'll become a challenge. This game needs a boost to its overall difficulty and for me, that is one of the many ways to do it.
Overall - 6.3
Overall, I rated this game 6.3. These are my comments and recommendations for the game:
1.) The game is too easy. A nice boost to the levels of pokemons will be great. 2.) The game is short. More locations and areas, please. 3.) Add destruction so it will not be that boring. 4.) Other than increasing the levels of the pokemons, make the game harder, AND longer. 5.) Try increasing the population of people and make houses larger. I feel very uncomfortable with it. 6.) Put a refine to the graphics (like what other hacks of the game did)
