Another Oldschool Game Review   Oldschool41
Another game review, this time it is on one of my favorite Pokemon Hack games: Pokemon Emerald 386.
Summary: Imagine a game where you could get all the Pokemon you wanted without having to trade your Scyther or Onix to a friend, only for that friend to refuse to give it back. Well this is half true in case of Pokemon Emerald 386. Despite the fact that you can get the trade-required evolution pokemon (Scizor, Golem, Steelex to name a few) and harder trainer battles, Pokemon Emerald 386 is more of the same old Pokemon journey with the same old ending.
Graphics: Much like its sister games: Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald; Pokemon Emerald doesn't change much of the Graphics that you find in those games. The graphics are still pretty good for a Game Boy Advanced Pokemon Game. The Game makes use of real-time weather events (like a sandstorm when you enter the desert area and rain when you enter the forest area). The Game also attempts to make the areas appear real (like the addiction of lava when your overlooking the Volcano or the addition of seaweed when your diving in some of the dive-able areas.) Overall I give the Graphics a 9.
Sound: Sadly Pokemon Emerald 386 still uses the same generic music that you find in most of the Pokemon games. Everytime you enter the town; you hear the same "happy fun-loving" type of music. When you fight a trainer the music picks up and becomes almost a rock n roll type music (particularly when your facing the Champion or the Leader of Team Aqua or Magma.) After a while the music remains the same and can get pretty annoying after a while. I wished the Hacker had changed some of the music to make it a more unique Pokemon Hack. Overall I give it an 8.
Addictiveness: One of the most addicting Pokemon games you are ever going to play. Most if not all the Pokemon are capturable and can be leveled up to level 100. There are a lot of Pokemon moves that your Pokemon can learn and most of the optainable TMs can be bought in the Marketplaces in the nearby town where you got the TM. Most trainers that you face, you can rematch again and will have more powerful Pokemon (infact they are actually more powerful since the Trainers' Pokemon levels increased.) The is however some frustrating parts. If you chose the starting Pokemon Cyndaquil, be prepared to be frustrated by the fact that when you first face May (your rival), her Mudkip knows Mud Slap which can 2 shot your Cyndaquil if you don't grind Cyndaquil enough. Also like any other Pokemon game after a while of battling the same Pokemon Trainers, with the same Pokemon, with the same moves 1-shoting his or her Pokemon can be quit boring after a while; but the fact that their Pokemon gives more EXP then the non-hack Pokemon games should at least make you want to grind your Pokemon in battle instead of just doing the cheap, easy method (which involves the Pokemon Daycare, A Mach Bike, the Route the Pokemon Daycare is on, and the Fastfoward button). Overall I rank the Addictiveness a 10.
Story: The story in Pokemon Emerald 386 still uses the same generic Pokemon story about a new trainer setting out to conquor the Gym Badges, Elite 4, and the Champion. There is however some additions to Pokemon Emerald 386 that makes it slightly more unique then Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire (if you have played Emerald then you won't notice the changes that much). You first start out in the back of a truck (how you got inside that truck and why your parents left you inside remains a mystery...better call Child Protective Services lol.) and after jumping out, your mother greets you in your new hometown. So instead of letting you explore the town and meet people, she sends you up to your room to take a look at your room (and to also set the clock). After doing that you notice the Television is doing an interview with Norman (your father), but before you can pay attention to the interview, the interview ends. Now you can finally see the sights around town (which just happens to only have 1 other house and the Pokemon Lab.) You enter the house, meet May's mother and May, and try to leave the town only to discover Professor Birch getting attacked by a Poochyeta. You "borrow" one of Birch's Pokemon inside his bag, defeat the Poochyeta, and as a reward Birch allows you to keep that Pokemon you just selected. After getting your Pokemon you decide to seek out May, have a Pokemon battle, defeat her, and meet Professor Birch to recieve a Pokedex and Pokeballs from May. You leave the town (but not before your Mom gives you soon new sneakers) and decide to visit your dad to tell him about the recent events. When you meet him however you find that another trainer, Wally interrupts your conversation and your father sends you out to teach Wally how to capture Pokemon. After you defeat Wally you decide to head out to the first gym, but you are stopped by a mysterious man wearing black glasses who after first trying to start a conversation walks away (how rude). On your way to the first gym you meet a Devon Researcher who is ambushed by a memeber of Team Aqua and you must defend him from the ambush. You defeat him but not before the Aqua memeber drops a hint about his next intentions with the Researcher running back to Headquarters after hearing this. After you defeat the Gym Leader, you see the same Aqua memeber running out of a nearby building and the same Researcher running after him. You track the Aqua memeber down (who has taken a Winguil hostage), defeat him, and give the Winguil and the stolen goods back to their rightful owners. While you continue your advanture, you later meet Steven who becomes a friend after delivering a letter addressed to him. After that you notice that a bunch of Aqua members have taken over a building attempting to rob another Researcher. You defeat the two Aqua members and meet the Aqua Leader who tells you the reason for their actions. After some more journying, more battles with May and Wally, you come across another Researcher getting robbed by Aqua memebers again for a Meteorite. This is when you meet the other bad guys Team Magma who you later join an "alliance" to stop the Aqua leader from casuing a nearby Volcano from erupting. After the battle you deliver the Meteorite back to the Researcher, earn more Gym Badges (including beating your father), another friendly battle with May, you come across a weather station being taken hostage by Team Aqua. You save the people taken hostage, have another battle with May, encounter Steven again, earn some more Gym Badges, and head to the Safari Zone. Along the way however you encounter some memebers from Team Aqua acting weird heading to a building south of the Safari Zone. It is here that you find out that Team Aqua and Team Magma have stolen the Blue and Red Orbs and are planning to use them to unleash the two Legendary Pokemon: Groundon and Kyorge. You face off against May one last time and fly over to Slateport City to discover that Team Aqua has stolen a submarine and has left to head back to HQ. You eventually discover Team Magma trying to take over a space station and with the help of Steven you defeat the Leader of Team Magma. You find the Headquarters of Team Aqua, but the Aqua Leader escapes  with the sub and plans to find Kyorge. You track down both Team Aqua and Team Magma, defeat both Leaders, but both Legendary Pokemon awaken and go on a rampage. They clash inside a city when the Champion Wallace (who was the 8th gym leader in Ruby and Sapphire) tells you to find where the other Legendary Pokemon Rayquasa is. You find Rayqyasa, awaken him, and he stops Groundon and Kyorge's battle. Both Leaders from Team Aqua and Magma apologize for almost destorying the world, leave to give back the orbs they stole, and you earn your 8th gym badge. You then head to the Elite 4, defeat all 4, face off against Wallace, and win. You get congradulated by May (who arrives late with some advice), Professor Birch, and Wallace (but not Mom or Dad). You and your Pokemon team get uploaded into the hall of fame and the game ends in terms of story. Overall I give it a 9.
Depth: Something that Pokemon Emerald 386 excells at. You can capture all the non-Legendary Pokemon without having to trade some Pokemon for evolution. The only downside is that nearly half the Legendaries can not be captured as some of them appear on Mirage Island (which as you know is hard to get). So far the only known Legendary Pokemon that you can't catch are Mew, Susicno, Moltress, Zapados, Ho-Ho, Lugia, Lathios/Lathas (which ever one you didn't select on the TV), and Deoxys. So while you can capture alot of Pokemon, it is not the whole 386 Pokemon that the game states you can in its title (you can capture the other Legendaries, but it will take a lot of time). Overall I give it a 9.
Difficultly: Something that Pokemon Emerald 386 accels at. As I mentioned before if you selected Cyndaquil be prepared to become annoyed by the fact that May's Mudkip can 2 shot him if you don't level up. The Gym Leaders are also pretty touch (particularly your father, the Flying Pokemon Gym Leader, and the Psychic Twins.) The Elite 4 and Champion are also pretty tough, but I have a thread deticated to explain an easy way to defeat them easily. Overall I give it a 10.
Closing Points: While this is one of the best Pokemon Hacks your ever going to play on Vizzed, the game is slightly incomplete and the title is miss-leading if you don't get to Mirage Island. Still, Pokemon Emerald 386 is a fun, challenging hack that everyone on Vizzed should at least give a playthrough. My final verdict: 9.5

Pokemon Emerald 386 is a   tj4bigred
Pokemon Emerald 386 is an RGR hack any Pokemon fan should look to first for some fun. There are the usual quirks from [url=http://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=10643&system=gba&name=Pokemon-Emerald]Pokemon Emerald[/url], the game this game is clearly based off, plus so much more that makes this a must try. The hack makes all 386 Pokemon, up to Generation III, obtainable through normal single-player gameplay. The hack is the the perfect Pokemon ROM because it takes away the frustration of not being able to evolve your Machoke or get a Celebi. Frustrations I'm sure you've had. Well, this review will tell what makes the game great, and what parts fall short.
Graphics-
Compared to other GBA games, this offers some of the best graphics the system can offer. Game Freak brought animated sprites back for the first time since Emerald, and it adds a change when every battle begins with your Pokemon moving around rather than just sliding into view in a static fashion. Pokemon games offer familiar graphics, and these are some of the best. Hoenn has its own unique look. It is more tropical than any other region, and from volcanoes, to lush forests, to bustling cities on the coast, and even underwater, it all looks beautiful.
Sound-
There is nothing like the nostalgia the sounds of Hoenn bring. The cries, unique for all 386 Pokemon, blend with the fun battle music, and this is one of the few games I plug in the headphones and crank up the volume when playing on the laptop. Exploring all the nooks and crannies in the region couldn't be more pleasant listening to the sounds of the Hoenn. Definately high quality for any GBA game.
Addictiveness-
The thing the developers at Game Freak like to do with Pokemon games is make it as easy to play for five minutes as it is for five hours. Pokemon Emerald already delivered, but the unpredictability of finding a Charmander where you would normally only find Zubat is a delight and you'll always wonder what you'll find in the next area. It certainly won't be the same Zigzagoon you'd come to expect in Hoenn. This provides incredibly addictive gameplay because... Well, who doesn't want to "Catch 'em All?"
Story-
Admittedly, Pokemon games have never had great stories, and this one just recycles Pokemon Emerald's. It still is a nice good-triumphs-over-evil story, and having to face Team Magma and Team Aqua is an improvement over Ruby and Sapphire. I never laughed or cried during the story as you might with a Mario & Luigi or Kingdom Hearts game. But then again, Pokemon doesn't draw its thousands of fans with its stories. It is a nice story with some twists, but it certainly won't wow you.
Depth-
This is the game's bread and butter. I'd give it 20 if I could. Catching all 180 or so Pokemon in Pokemon Emerald would be hard enough, but this talented hacker added 200 more to search out. Some are frustratingly difficult to find, some are insanely rare, and some are hidden in places you would never look. You'd have a challenge ahead of you if you want to obtain every Pokemon. The game offers so much depth that in February, the site's creator, Davideo7, offered a [url=http://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=10643&system=gba&name=Pokemon-Emerald]contest[/url] to catch as many different Pokemon as possible, the deadline being at the end of the month. After one month no one had gotten all 386. People played completely determined for 28 days, trying to catch every Pokemon and they couldn't do it. You can find the results [url=http://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=23557]here[/url]. This proves how incredibly deep Pokemon Emerald 386 is.
Difficulty-
Because the hacker made it easier to catch a more diverse range of Pokemon, it is only fitting that he increase the difficulty of the game. As you advance through the game, you'll realize, compared to Pokemon Emerald, most trainers' Pokemon are 10-15 levels higher and this number increases as you advance even further into the game. Most experienced Pokemon trainers find the games painfully easy, but this game adds a challenge most Pokemon games don't. I've heard problems that if you don't save by F2, you can lose your file, and to advance past the E4, you need to press F2 right as it enters your Pokemon and their names into the machine.
Overall, a fantastic hack, and I play this game as much, if not more than Emerald, as it adds so much gameplay. If you're a Pokemon fan, or just a casual gamer, and you have nothing to do for the next year or two, I'd suggest trying to catch every Pokemon in Pokemon Emerald 386.

Pokemon Emerald 386 Review   Woodenfan
   First things first, the Graphics. Pokémon Emerald (and several of its GBA counterparts) have been noted that they boast fine graphics for that era. This game takes Emerald's graphics engine and uses it in its own finely crafted game. Nothing has been changed from Emerald's graphics, and for me, that's fine. It's a hack, meaning some bugs and glitches can occur, but when I played it, didn't happen very often.
   Next, the sound. Like the graphics, the sound has not been modified, and for Emerald fans, that's a nice treat. The game looks and sounds very nice, and that is what a good game's core should consist of. 
   The addictiveness, for me, was rather high, but I don't go back to this game as much as I used to. This varies from person to person (respect others opinions is the way I go) and when I got nearly all of the Pokémon (and mistakenly tossed out some evolutionary stones) I just stopped playing. 
   Story is the same as Emerald, heck, the whole game IS Emerald's story and plot. It's better than Ruby/Sapphire any day. 
   The game has nice depth and takes a while to defeat (10 hours or more with Match call training). The very high levels can leave new players in a slump, while advanced players can take on a very powerful Battle Frontier, which can create a rift. This game is DIFFICULT for starters, but it gets easier with the more Pokémon you have.
   Finally, the difficulty. This game is EXTREMELY difficult if you have the wrong team set up or are under levelled, which happens most of the time. The trainers earn you some extremely helpful EXP and level grinding is a must if you want to beat the game.
   Overall, the game has its ups and downs, but in my opinion, it's a nice game. It takes one step up from the next best hack, Pokémon Rebirth, by adding more powerful trainers. I would recommend this game to players looking for an advanced challenge.

Pokemon Emerald 386 Review   tgags123
Overall (9.3)
Pokemon Emerald 386 is a hack of Pokemon Emerald. What makes Pokemon Emerald 386 different is that you can obtain all 386 Pokemon from generations I - III in regular, single player game play. There are no other changes such as the appearance or story, so this hack is perfect for people that want to play the regular Emerald version, but still want to "catch 'em all!"
Graphics (9)
The graphics in this hack are exactly the same as Pokemon Emerald, so I'll review the graphics the same way I would if it was Pokemon Emerald. The graphics in this game are amazing. The difference between this and Crystal, the last Pokemon game, is incredible. The color has been perfected since Crystal and everything looks a lot less pixely (Is that a word?). The graphics could be a little better, but overall they are very good, especially for a Game Boy Advance game.
Sound (8)
I was never really a fan of the music in Pokemon games, but for some reason I like the sound in Pokemon Emerald 386. It has a similar feel to the earlier games, but it seems to flow smoother and sound less, well, annoying.
Addictiveness (10)
This is one of the most addictive games in the Retro Game Room. You will probably beat the Pokemon League in a few days because you wont be able to leave the computer. If you read my Pokemon Yellow review, you would know that I often use the formula fun + depth / 2 = addictiveness. In this case, fun = 9, depth = 10, therefore addictiveness = 9.5. Since 9.5 isn't an option, I round up to 10.
Story (9)
You are given a starter Pokemon by Professor Birch. You travel around the Hoenn region. You go from city to city challenging gyms and collecting badges. You then try to beat the Pokemon League and become the champion. Of course, there needs to be a bad guy. In this game, there are two evil organisations, Team Magma and Team Aqua. Team Magma wants to create more land, while Team Aqua wants to flood the world with water. Long story short you defeat them and save the world. I know what you're thinking "But tgags123, how is this any different than Emerald?" Answer: You can catch all 386 Pokemon. You no longer how to stress about what starter to choose, because you can get all of them! You don't have to try to cheat in a Celebi, Mew, or Jirachi, because you can catch them in regular single player game play!
Depth (10)
Like Emerald, Emerald 386 has a lot of things you can do. Aside from the main story, you can also catch all the legendary Pokemon, try to get to Mirage Island, and try to completely fill up the Pokedex, something that is impossible in Pokemon Emerald.
Difficulty (6)
Much like Emerald, Emerald 386 is a very easy game. The first time I played I beat it in three days. This game is not recommended if you are looking for a challenge. Actually, I would avoid Pokemon games altogether, because they tend to be easy. The only "challenge" in this game is obtaining all 386 Pokemon.
Pokemon Emerald 386 is a very fun, though rather easy, game. I strongly recommend it if you want to try to catch them all. It is a great game to play in your free time. Give it a shot, I'm sure you will love it.

This game is AWESOME   BattleDomeGuy
This is my review of the Pokémon Emerald 386 hack. Enjoy
Graphics: I rate the graphics on this game a 10/10. The sprites for all 386 Pokémon are as fantastic as the ones on Emerald and some are even better. The animations are precise and flow really well together. And that speed up button. It has to be one of the greatest features in the game. It seems to be really hard to pull off because with the press of a button, everything speeds up and when you release it, everything goes back to normal. But they really nailed it. It works flawlessly and never slows the game at all. That takes effort.
Sound: I rate the sound in this game a 9/10. All the music is catchy, but in a really good way. You could listen to it all day without being annoyed in the slightest. The cries for all the Pokémon sound like they belong to that Pokémon and for the most part, are really cool. There is only one downside to the sound in this game. You cannot mute just the music in the game. You have to lower your computer's volume to lower the game's volume. And that can get annoying when you are grinding for experience and you want to listen to Youtube or something on your computer to pass the time. But everything else is perfect.
Addictiveness: I rate the addictiveness a 10/10. This game is extremely addictive for 2 main reasons. The first reason is that there is so much depth in the game, that it would take years to truly complete everything. This is because in order to truly beat the game, you would have to catch all 386 Pokémon, train them to level 100, and get every item in the game. The second reason is that the tone of the game is happy and cheerful which makes you want to keep playing. It is made so you never ever want to stop playing. That is a really good thing because then more people will buy the sequels and the game itself.
Story: I rate the story a 7/10. The story, while not the best story in the world, is really good, especially for a Pokémon game. You have to beat the Elite 4, and the Champion of Pokémon to become the new Champion, but instead of fighting Team Rocket like the first two generations, now you have to fight 2 new villainous teams, Team Magma, and Team Aqua. Team Magma wants to dry up the ocean so fire type Pokémon can thrive better, and Team Aqua wants to flood the whole world so water type Pokémon can thrive better. SPOLIERS BEGIN HERE: In the final battle between the two teams, they awaken 2 of the 3 Weather Legendary Pokémon. Team Magma awakens Groudon who can dry up the oceans and move continents, and Team Aqua awakens Kyogre, who can flood the whole world. The two battle until you stop the fighting by awakening the last Legendary Pokémon, Raquaza, who is Groudon and Kyogre's master. Raquaza ends the fight and the world is at peace after Team Magma and Team Aqua's leaders, Maxie and Archie, are arrested. SPOLIERS END HERE
Depth: If I could, I would rate the depth in this game a 100/10, but I can only rate it a 10/10. There is so much to do in this game. You can catch a grand total of 386 different creatures and train them to level 100 where they will be the best. Sound easy? THINK AGAIN!!! Some of the creatures seem impossible to find or catch due to rarity, power, or inaccessibility. None are truly impossible to catch, but they are really hard to get. After you do that, you can do these things called Contests to show your Pokémon off and get ribbons. If you have caught all 386 Pokémon, trained them to level 100, and won each of them every ribbon, you have truly beaten the game. If not, keep playing it.
Difficulty: I rate the difficulty of this game an 8/10. Beating the main story is hard enough, with tough battles against Team Magma and Team Aqua Admins, Gym Leaders, the Elite 4, and of course, the Champion. Since you can catch every Pokémon in the game, the creators of the game justified that by making the opponents way too powerful. Here is an example. In Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, the first Gym Leader, Roxanne, has 2 Pokémon, a level 14 Geodude and a level 15 Nosepass. In Pokémon Emerald, she has 2 level 12 Geodudes, and a level 15 Nosepass with an Oran Berry. In this game, she has a level 17 Geodude, a level 18 Onix, and a level 20 Nosepass. That is insane for the first Gym Leader. And when you beat the main story, you have to now catch all 386 Pokémon, train them all to level 100, and win them every ribbon. Doing that proves that you are a true Pokémon Master and we will respect you for that.

Pokemon Emerald 386 Review   patar4097
Pokémon Emerald 386: Is a hack of Pokémon Emerald, made so you can get all 386 Pokémon (hence, the name) without trading.
GRAPHICS 9
   The graphics in this game are nice. The sprites move like they did in Crystal, which gives some life to the Pokémon. The characters look good. It seems like they used the GBA's graphics nicely.
SOUND   8        The sounds of this game are very well done. The battle music, the Pokémon cries, are nice. Some of the music gives the game a very nice feel, but some music got annoying, such as the surfing music, since you will hear a lot of it.
ADDICTIVENESS  10     I could play this game all day. This is my second run through, going for a perfect team. Hours and hours of non stop game play. Which leads me into:
DEPTH   10      The fact that you must get 386 Pokémon is already a tough and lengthy  task, but add to that getting a team strong enough  face the hardships of the Battle Frontier, to the  Tough choices of making a Pokémon have good moves for winning contests, which makes it a very long game. 
STORY   7       Pokémon has never had much of a good story, but this one, more so than even Sapphire and Ruby, has a more compelling story. The way that Team Magma and Team Aqua clash makes a pretty interesting story.
DIFFICULTY   7      Now, the regular Pokémon Emerald was not too hard to wipe out all the Pokémon through the E4, but this game changes that, by making all Pokémon trainers have Pokémon at higher levels than before. The Pokémon League now have  Pokémon near 20 levels higher, while Steven using all level 100's for his team. If you train the right Pokémon and train them right, it could still be relatively easy.
FINAL THOUGHTS        This is my personal favorite Pokémon hack out there. Anyone who had Emerald, or anyone who enjoys Pokémon hacks should give this game a try. I give Pokémon Emerald 386 a 9.8, because it is just such an enjoyable game, plus the added difficulty, makes this game worth more than just a try.

With all these Pokemon, you'd expect it not to end. But it does. Abruptly.   Kaiser19
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Wow, A Pokemon hack that'll let me catch every single one!" Well, this game does that for the most part, and the variety of creatures is fantastic. Not only do you get Pokemon from Fire Red and Leaf Green, you get creatures from Gold and Silver, with sprites that have been given a fantastic upgrade from their GB Color originals.
However, nothing else is really different from Emerald, save for a few bonus islands, and a cave where you can catch all 3 generations of starter pokemon. Same story, same gym battling, same contests. Nothing really new plot-wise.
The one fatal drawback of this game is that, with any other hacked rom of GBA pokemon, you can't play after you beat the Elite Four and become the Champion. You just can't. Which means no Latios or Latias, and no after-E4 Legendaries like Celebi or Deoxys. This, of course, is LAME.

badass game   badboyej
GRAPHICS: well to be honest, its pretty much the same as the other GBA pokemon games, unlike many other hacks, it rarely (if not at all) glitches or freeze in the middle of the game, the graphics are truely up to the GBA standards
SOUND: just like the other GBA pokemon games, the sound is pretty clear, even when you fast foward the game, the sound is still clear , its pretty much the same as the GBA sound.
Addictiveness: Due to my expreience of playing the game, the start of it annoyed me, which kept bringing me back to try and get through it, this game is more addictive than the normal pokemon games (GBA) since you can obtain all the pokemon without trading, and also the game is much harder than the oringinals, making it more challanging and fun, soon enough you will find yourself addicted
Story: the story is more oringinal than the normal pokemon games,its much harder, theres a twist in the game which is pretty interesting.
Depth: its a pretty long game to complete since its much harder, but it has much to offer as its easier to train your pokemon, and battle alot of people who come in your way. but once the story is completed its not the end as you can do many more things after such as the "battle tower"
Difficulty: the controls are really simple, yet the actual game is pretty hard which is great since most people dont like a game which is really easy and you get bored of it quickly, neither is it too hard so that you get irritated and just give up and never play it again. its a awesome game and it wont let you down.
go on just play it :D

Pokemon Emerald 386 is awesome   Wolfrainboom
Pokémon Emerald 386 is awesome but addicting. It can be challenging but it is really fun once you try to collect every single Pokémon and beat the game. Battles can be difficult but you have to go back and try again. You may loose your money but once you level up enough, you can get the challenges done. The story is still the same but over all I really enjoyed Pokémon Emerald 386.
The game takes place in the Honen Region and you travel through each town and collect Pokémon through the adventure of your character. Whether you are a boy or girl, the story doesn't matter what you are. Each town has a group of Pokémon you have to catch so you can get each 386, some are harder to get than others. As you travel and collect, the story progresses until you challenge the gyms and Pokémon league. Once done you can go to the difficult battle frontier to collect the symbols.
During the final part of the story, you should try collecting all and every single Pokémon because some don't come back at the end though. So be sure to collect as you travel.

Emerald 386 Review   malkin77
The following review is written by Malkin77:
      Emerald 386 is overall a very well hacked version of the original Emerald Pokémon game. The idea of placing all Pokémon from generations I through III was a brilliant idea I'm sure many would agree with. The developer when making this also made all of the trainers stronger by several levels than they were in the original game. Example: your first battle with your rival, the Pokémon is lv.5 but in this, it is lv.7. However there is only one flaw myself and my fellow gamers have encountered. That being that the tickets the developer placed in the game that take you to battle deoxys, jirachi, and mew, which you purchase at Lilycove City for 60,000 poke, seem to have not been coded correctly and do not work properly to everyone for some odd reason. The game when first released was used as a competition for a month to see who could capture as many of the 386 Pokémon the fastest. No one captured all of them. So with that being said lets move on the specific areas.
Graphics:
      The graphics in this game are as good as any game released in the mid 2000's for a handheld system. Good, but not as great as they could be here in 2013. To me the graphics for this game for its time were perfect and nothing to complain about. I would have given it a 10 if a few of the Pokémon I noticed while playing, had a thin line around them from where you could tell they did not belong in the game and were from a different generation. A line almost looking as if photoshopped into the game. Other then this one mishap graphics are as spot on as they should be.
Sound:
      The sound in this game is just as it should be. The same as it would if you were playing on a DS, but with that it means it is the original 16-bit music that when you first start playing you are excited about, but then start to realize it is slowly annoying you and you quickly mute the game. Besides the music, the effects of "Super Effective" POW type noise you hear and the cries of the Pokémon, I have not noticed any issues with any of that. Just your usual annoying Nintendo music is all. :)
Addictiveness:
      This game is very addicting if you are a Pokémon fan. Emerald being one of the more Favored games in the series, it is wonderful having all of the amazing Pokémon through the best generations in the fans opinions. With the increased difficulty of the game it keeps you coming back to try to have a better lineup to ensure your victories in your up coming battles.
Story:
     The story to this game is just like every other Pokémon game and is why it is not as high as it could be. Any Pokémon fan knows the story is not why you play Pokémon, because most Pokémon games are you run in to your rival team (such as team aqua and team magma in this game), then you stop them or attempt to anyway, then they escape and you face them again, and again, and again till they finally call it quits. That is all a Pokémon game usually is with the story and that's all this one is. You go and find team magma then team aqua and you face them several times before they cause the brawl between kyogre and groudon, then you be a hero and prevent the destruction of the world. Bottom line its a Pokémon story, so don't get too excited for it.    
Depth:
        The depth to this game, if you are trying to beat it for what it was intending to make you do, is capturing all 386 Pokémon. Which will take you at least a month. If that is not strong and dedicated depth to playing a game I don't know what is. That is equivalent to playing Grand Theft Auto IV and finding all the pigeons around the islands without looking them up. If you are looking for a game to play that will take you a while to finish to 100% completion, this is it. With all 386 Pokémon possible, and even a few on mirage island which is near impossible to get to, you will be hunting for ever. Just to make it harder there is not a guide to finding all of them anywhere. I have searched and friends have searched, so good luck on finding all of them. Just makes it that more interesting on accomplishing this treacherous feat.
Difficulty:
      This game as stated within depth is a very difficult game, the trainers Pokémon are harder so just completing the story is a daunting task, if you are playing to catch every Pokémon you will spend many hours in frustration, and it seems every trainer always has a move to counter your plan to victory. The difficulty is hard but is not higher because the controls are very simple to learn and is just like most Pokémon games but with a twist.
All in all I was satisfied with this game and if you are a Pokémon trainer looking for a challenge and a game you can play for quite a while, this game is definitely for you. Thank you for reading this review by Malkin77, have a good day and remember, BATTLE ON!

Pokemon Emerald 386   Lucar369
This has to be the most exciting Pokémon Emerald hack I have played. Just wondering which Pokémon is gonna show up on any given route is always exciting to see and something (at least in my case) you want to see every single one that can appear. Being able to get all starters before 3rd gym is amazing. The idea to finally get the team you always wanted is great. Everyone who plays earlier games can express how they'd love to be able to create their own team of Pokémon they like a lot but couldn't due to not being in the game. Now not an issue whatsoever and that has to be the best part. Story wise more in-depth then earlier games with the introduction of team aqua/magma but not over the top story. Also for me best music out of all generations in this game! Slateport City for life!

 National Pokedex is given by the man next to the Pokemon Center in Petalburg City, your dad's town. And does anyone know where to get Torchic and Mudkip? Pokedex says "area unknown".

 How to get a shuckle ?
Lucas M. Manion 09-23-14 - 11:12 PM
 patar4097, you mean northeast of Oldale on Route 103 after beating Wallace and getting the National Pokedex.
Lucas M. Manion 09-23-14 - 11:11 PM
 Evita, Professor Birch has not yet upgraded your Pokedex to the national mode and you'll have to beat Wallace to get it. You caught 10 out of 386, but you also caught 4 out of 202.
Lucas M. Manion 09-23-14 - 11:09 PM
 Gabe Puratekuta, the answer is no. Steven gives you one after you beat the E4. Just go to his house in Mossdeep and act upon the Poke Ball there.
Gabe Puratekuta 08-23-14 - 09:24 AM
 To get a Kingdra??
