I was summer school 6th grade
I always decorate my desk one item was a sasuke card I got from a jump magazine from the library
then a kid offer to trade my the Red rescue team game for it
I'm like (in my mind) Dude are you stupid?
I said sure.
I never regret that choice ever because damn  this game is great. (plus I didn't play the naruto card game, I thought it looked cool was all)

Graphic:8
They are just what you expect 16-bit Pokémon but the art style is great for the time all Pokémon move they all have idle motions. But all the dungeons are well design and definitely don't feel like reskins like some other games do. And some dungeons have well designed entrances and you can see all the curves of the mountain or the sky and their clouds.

Sound:9
All the music is great and suits all the situations you encounter or are involved in. Whether is good bad sad or just scary. Can I beat them, Will I survive this, I don't want die, even why did this have to happen..why.And many many more.. What makes this all the more surprising is that this is a GBA game. There's not that many GBA games I can imagine with such great music and sound effects. There's the music of "Sky tower" that gives a feeling of traversing the heavens why..I cant answer its a spoiler. And "Thunder wave cave" which the music was almost as I imagined it, if electric and techno had a baby.And after every mission you return to your home base with well as you guess call "rescue team base" a lovely melody like waking up well rest and the felling of its going to be a great day today.

Addictiveness:9
this game will have you play it like crazy for so many reason such as the amount of recruitable Pokémon the areas to explore or even the journey to progress the story
All Pokémon are catchable....ALL of them. Do in really have to say anything else beside that you need to own a location that has to be bought from a store first before having a chance to catch em, But Still all Gen one to Gen 3 Pokémon are obtainable.you will go back to get the Pokémon you didn't get or revisit them to get the Pokémon you couldn't obtain the one before.

Story: 9
The story is so Simple. You wake up and what the heck you woke up as a Pokémon (depends on your questionnaire answer) and you meet a another Pokémon who become your partner (who you get to choose what Pokémon he/she is). Problem and natural disasters are occurring in the Pokémon world but why is that why is the world and nature in an unbalanced state. Soon you form a team with for partner and span across many adventures. Yet as you progress it slow evolves into a game that was simple into a game so complex yet easy for even me young child(at the time) was at the strong bond you the playable protagonist and your partner Pokémon forge.

Depth:10
This game offers so much to do many dungeons to explore. The plot rich game. The power to recruit all Gen 1 to Gen 3 Pokémon. And offer challenging mission for hardcore strategists. All Pokémon level up and learn moves and every move has different range and power. TM's to teach Pokémon.

Difficulty 7
So why addictiveness a 7 as much fun as the game is I However wont deny that you will find yourself stuck as some dungeons that have to be completed to progress. And will be annoying to grind to beat the bosses. However if you aren't in a rush to complete the story at every opportunity you wont struggle alot but will still feel angry sometimes. But there is much more to due after the game has been completed. Now if you want a challenge then boy they do have it. They are 99 floor dungeons such as western cave home to...Mewtwo. Wish cave which reduces your level to 1 with nothing beside you and your partner and at the end you will get one ...wish.  And there is a system called as hunger. If you don't eat and it reaches 0 you lose health per step so those dungeons really make you think and make every step count. Also the most scariest situation that can happen that will make you say "well I'm screwed" known as Monster House but you have to see it for yourself.
There are mission think of it like naruto missions except E to S to star to Triple Star. Escort missions are the most painful which count as a auto failure if they die, doesn't help that they are level 5 in a dungeon filled with level 50 Pokémon

I like the review I can tell you really love playing this game. This was a game I also loved playing some years ago so I can pretty much understand. Yes I also have to agree its very, very addictive. You want to catch pokemon add them to your team, and among other things as well. I enjoyed reading your review here.

It was hard not to ruin the whole game

also with me I always have a story to tell with each video game
a friend told me that the sasuke card let the player use a chidori card with out any chakra cost if they have 5
it was a strong card.

Best trade I've ever made
I love making reviews I sad I'm late an such a old member of the site but I want to be a strong member of the community and right now I think the only way how
is to influence people and help them get similar experiences as me

Redjoker234 : I understand. I find that post amazing, and inspireable as well. I am sure you will be able to help the community as you want too. I believe you can do it if you put your mind too it. I'm not too fond of the naruto cards though since I never played them myself.

Take this from a guy who loves this game as well as the other ones in this spinoff like crazy when I say great review. Also yes, that kid wasn't exactly making a smart decision. Hope to see more and I recommend Explorers of Sky for you to play next.
