Welcome to this review made by DanielFantasyVI! This review will cover the whole game itself and its aspects. I am fairly strict when it comes to giving scores to games. Usually, If I give a 6 or 7 to the game, that means that the game is good. If you have seen my review in Pokémon Emerald and compared it with this one, you'll notice that my scores given to this game are fairly higher compared to that game. Why I have given scores like that will be thoroughly explained in each section that I will make. Before I forget, much of the review comments are opinionated so please, do not comment anything harsh because all of us have different opinion regards the game. So, here is the review. Graphics-8Well, compared to the other games in the same generation (Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire), this game has better graphics (for me). Why? Well, it has striking colors (especially that all of the towns or cities there are related to colors). That is pretty much it. For anyone asking why I have given an 8 only is because I have seen many games that has better graphics and virtuosity but this does not mean that this game has bad graphics (Don't take things seriously ). In fact, the graphics of this game is quite good so it is not really much of a big deal. A little more refine to the graphics then it will become WAY better.Sound-7There's nothing much that I can put in this section. All I can say is I like the sound because it is some sort of refreshing. The sounds of the music is well-composed and there is nothing faulty about Pokémon cries. That is pretty much it.Addictiveness-7When it comes to game addictiveness, this game is worthy to be played at by the same player twice or thrice. I mean it is addicting but it is not worthy to be played at a lot of times. Well, this game is addicting because compared to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, this game is fairly longer, along with LeafGreen. But, it is not utterly longer but oh well. At least you can have longer fun with this game. Story-5And this is where I get to become very strict, the story. What this game needs is a bit of action and destruction. This is the one fair thing that I am looking at RPGs. I mean there is an antagonist, yes but they lack evilness. I want that one thing that could REALLY change the world, change people's lives forever and it is up to you to at least restore everything back. So, (No offense) that is why I have given a low 5 in its storyline. Oh by the way, correct me if I'm wrong because it has been a while that I have last played the game but this is what I pretty much remember.Depth-8Yet again, compared to the other games in the 3rd Generation, it has a longer story and (I think) more Pokémon because of the addition of one island, two island, three island and etc. Well, better a bit longer than nothing . If only this game was a bit longer, then it could have been one of the best for me. Well, I guess that is pretty much it.Difficulty-5When it comes to controls, there is no problem because controls in the GBA are reasonably easy (well, for me because I have been using it for a long time) but for the game, I'd say it is mediocre. I can beat the game for like 2 days or 3 days at most. I would have given a lower grade if it wasn't for the islands. Pokémon with higher levels kinda made the score of difficulty higher.OVERALL-8.3Overall, this is a good game, I'd say. It has *almost* everything that I expected from a Pokémon game. Here are a few comments to summarize my whole review:1.) Add a little more refine to the graphics2.) Add destruction3.) Make the game a little bit longer (Wish come true)4.) A bit more of level gaps between PokémonThis is the end of my review, if there are any questions or suggestions, feel free to comment or send a private message to me (DanielFantasyVI).

Graphics-8

Well, it has striking colors (especially that all of the towns or cities there are related to colors). That is pretty much it.

Story-5
And this is where I get to become very strict, the story. What this game needs is a bit of action and destruction. This is the one fair thing that I am looking at RPGs.

Depth-8
Yet again, compared to the other games in the 3rd Generation, it has a longer story and (I think) more Pokémon because of the addition of one island, two island, three island and etc. Well, better a bit longer than nothing .
