Average Really sirhc1801
Well, upon viewing this game originally; I must admit that I was intrigued as a 3rd gen remake is one we all wish for. The creator of this has clearly tried to do so here and all in all, the game was pretty nice.
Graphics
- I rated the graphics a 9/10 because clearly, the main point of this hack was to make the game much more aesthetically pleasing; taking it away from the typical third gen graphics. Throughout, the graphics have been improved and it is nicer to look at. These improvements are really the only things that have made a dramatic impact on the game. I will admit, however, that some of this is sloppy; with most buildings having no changes to them at all. This meant that in some key areas, there were no changes to the game. There were some tiles which you could walk on that you shouldn't and vice versa, which was a shame. Another minuscule issue I had was Magnezone's sprite on the party view, which went outside the area it should have done while moving.
Sound
- Not much to say; I believe there were no changes.
Addictiveness
- The issue here was that the game was essentially the same as the original which while primarily being gripping, I now find to be quite dull. I came to this website to find other games and I believe other users do to and may find this to be fairly boring. I only played the whole way through because of a couple of cave additions I'd seen earlier in the game and because I hope there would be some sort of added post story; which there isn't really.
Story
- Same as before, boy gets Pokemon. Boy beats gyms. Boy beats enemy team. Boy becomes champion. No changes to a fairly monotonous story to begin with which was a shame.
Depth
- In some respects, this game does have more depth to it. With more evolutions, including 4th gen ones, I felt like this game had a nice little addition to it. Plus, as mentioned before, there are new caves to explore and so despite this only taking a short time; it was nice that there were some major changes implemented.
Difficulty
- There is no change in difficulty, the game is as easy to beat as before which was ultimately very easy anyway.
A few other things to add. The new evolutions, I guess, have taken the place of other Pokemon as, for instance, Gallade only offers a small amount of experience. This kind of thing bugs me a bit because it seems like a lot of work for very little. As a whole; the game might be worth playing, I didn't hate it, nor did I love it.

Pokémon Burning Ruby Review by TornadoMudkip TornadoMudkip
Hello Everyone, here again a Review from TornadoMudkip.
This is my 9th Review, please enjoy! This time about Pokémon Burning Ruby!
Start: Pokémon Burning Ruby is a hack of Pokémon Ruby.
First the Graphics: The biggest change of this Game.
The Graphics in this Game are the Graphics of Pokémon Heart Gold and Pokémon Soul Silver.
The games looks good, the Houses, Trainers, Gyms, Locations like a Tower of Forest and much more!
Pokémon Sprites are good Designed and not to Big or Small, only some! I like them, most of the Pokémon are looking cool and cute.
Only some sprites are Small, like that one from Mudkip.
The Colours of the Pokémon's are better then from the previous Pokémon Games. (Like Red and Blue, and even from the Original Ruby!)
All of the Characters have a cool Design!
The Main Male Character looks like Brendan and the Main Female Character is look like May from the Anime.
Through the Cheerful Colours in the Game everywhere, the Graphics are good for me, I'll give a 9.
Second the Sound: The Sound is the same as Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but some Locations have a different Sound like Mauville City.
The sound quality good for me.
I really love this Sound. If I'd listen to the Sound, I feel calm through that... The Sound makes me Calm.
The Sound is Nice to hear! Why? The Tunes are a good because it's new Sound to hear! < Only for this Game and the Original Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald. > What I try to say is this Sound is unique. I like that kind of Sound.
Each Location that you traveled gave a little Tune for you to enjoy!
The Pokémon Cry's are Nice to hear to! Why? The Sounds aren't to high! (I like especially the Mudkip one! )
I'll give a 9 for the good Sound.
Third the Addictiveness: This Game is really fun to play!
If you Lose a Battle you can try it again. If you beat the Elite Four + Champion, you can try it again.
You can always try to Catch all of the Pokémon. You can do a lot and automatic you play this Game again and again! You can really enjoy this Game! Because all of the reasons what I write here above!
Sad thing is this Game isn't very long, if you've beaten the Elite Four + Champion then you can only catch all the Pokémon... (You need to Trade to have all the Pokémon and that isn't possible at Vizzed.)
Good new thing is that some Gen 4 Pokémon are in this Game like Froslass and Gallade. Also Lucky you don't need to Trade to get them! Amazing!
I'll give a 9 for this part.
Fourth the Story: The Story is good and is still the same a Pokémon Ruby,
Pokémon Burning Ruby is Game with the Region Hoenn, Hoenn is based on the island of Kyushu in Japan.
In Hoenn, they kept to the model of Grass, Water, and Fire for the starter Pokémon, Treecko, Mudkip, and Torchic.
One of these Pokémon is received from Professor Birch after saving him from a wild Poochyena at the start of the Game.
They are good Pokémon if you are a new to Pokémon because all of them learn good Moves and can Level up easy! (Treecko hardly learns good Moves in its Basic form but Treecko is handy against the first Gym. Also Mudkip is handy for the first Gym and if you evolve Torchic then is Torchic also good, what I want try to say is that every Starter is a good choice.)
The Legendary Continent Pokémon, Groudon, expanding the land (Volcano) is the Main Legendary from this Game (You can see that on the Box)
And like always, you can get a Free Potion at the Begin!
This game contains the basic that a Pokémon game has, like catch all of the Pokémon and complete the Pokédex, which is 386 Pokémon in total in this Game + becoming the new Champion.
In Pokémon Burning Ruby you follow the original story of training yourself to become the very best Trainer in the Region/World!
You can be if you defeat the Elite Four + Champion and Catching all of the Pokémon is your quest.
You can challenge your Rival as you go on your Adventure, which is Brendan if you're May or May if you're Brendan. (Rival is not very Strong but like always your Rival chooses the Pokémon where you are weak against: If you choose Treecko then your Rival chooses Torchic etc.)
In this Game you can defeat 8 Gyms and you can earn Badges! + you can beat Team Magma in this Game.
Team Magma want the Legendary Pokémon called Groudon... How will this end? If you want to know play this Game.
In this Game you can also catch a lot of Legendary Pokémon, 7 in total (In this Game), it's up to you to find them all. < Legendary's are not easy to catch!
That's good, you can do for sure a lot in this Game! + The Story that you follow is good.
I'll give a 9.
Fifth the Depth: The Depth in this Game is the same as the Original Ruby.
This Game is not to long and not to small! It fits good for length, I like that kind of Games.
Like what I said before in the Story: You can defeat 8 Gyms and Elite Four + Champion and more! < Like in a Original Pokémon Game.
The Game offers are good, until you've beaten the Elite Four + Champion, then you can only catch all of the Pokémon and find every Item. (Which is looking impossible for me, well you can always try it!)
I'll give a 8.
Sixth Difficulty: All of the Trainers are using the same Pokémon that they are using in Pokémon Ruby.
This Game isn't hard to beat! Why? Because the most Trainers aren't strong.
If you're a Starter to Pokémon, this Game suits perfectly for you! Because you can learn things in this Game like how do you catch a Pokémon.
Even if you're someone who loves/known to Pokémon! This Game is fun, because this Game has more news like Double Battles. < Also into the Orginal Game.
Everyone loses sometimes a Battle! That's okay because if you don't give up you can win this Game!
I'll give a 6 for this.
Overall: This Game is really good and fun to play.
I like the Graphics of HG/SS. It's pretty fun to see that the Graphics are into a GBA Game.
If I was you, I should play this Game! It's worth playing!
All the things what I said above is the thing what I think of this Game! That's all what I have to say!
I'll give a 9,1! It deserve it!
So this was my 9th Review, if something is wrong please say it to me.
I hope you liked my Review! ^^

Sweet Game PokePal435
Graphics 10 - I gotta say that you did excellent on the graphics and all the wonderful stuff. The graphics on the game are, by far, better than the original Ruby version. Maps are looking wicked awesome, Pokemon Centers have a new look to them which I like a lot, I love the look of the sprites in the game. Just everything about this hack screams "AWESOME" all over. I have never played a Pokemon game with graphics as immaculate as this one. I mean, good lord, how the heck did you make a game like this be so good to play over and over again? I don't even know how to make games like this. I don't even make games. I wish I could make games. Especially games with good graphics like this one. There's no doubt in my mind that this hack deserves a 10 for graphics. A job well done deserving of two thumbs up. Wonderful job you did.
Addictiveness 10 - It's almost as if I were playing the original Ruby version itself, except with better graphics and awesome map layout. You also made the game like 100 times cooler than the original Ruby version, That's the main reason, to me, that this game is addicting. It makes me want to come back for more. I don't think any other game could beat how well done this game is because you really . yourself on the making of this game. Addictiveness is a 10, no doubts about it.
Story 10 - What can I say? This game is really like I am playing Ruby itself. Everything about this game is equal to----no It is way better than the original Ruby version. Maps are better looking, sprites are better looking. Just everything about this game is better than Ruby itself. Enough said. Story is a 10.
Depth 10 - I think this game offers as much or even more than the original product itself because of how much time and effort you put into making this game different than the original product. I'm extremely leased with this game and everything you put into making this game. You have gone and outdid yourself tenfold in the making of this game. You have definitely earned my respect and trust in this game. Congrats to a well in-depth game. 10 is what I give you for depth.
Difficulty 9 - It has been ages since I played Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald that I kinda forget where to go and all that wonderful stuff. So, it takes me a little time to remember all the things about Ruby (Where to go, Where the Pokemon are located, etc.) I just love how you made this game so much fun to play. I have nothing else to say except a job well done.
Overall 10 - You gotta be kidding me because this was, by far, one of the greatest games I have ever played. I have never played a game as detailed and well thought out as this game because you made it just like the original product but better, Like I explained in the graphics, I love everything you did with the graphics (better maps, better Pokemon sprites, etc.) How can I give a bad review for a game that is not bad itself but extremely awesome and fun to play? All I can say is thanks for making this game because I will never tire of playing it. With the better maps and stuff, how am I able to NOT play this game? I can not give this game anything under a 10 overall. It was and will always be one of the most awesome games to play.
~PokePal435 has left the building~
P.S. Please always keep up the good work and lastly, I got three words for ya:
NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!
