Review ME!
Pokémon Ruby Destiny Rescue Rangers is a game that will have a special place in my childhood. Sure, it's a game hack, and I couldn't actually buy it, but when I was younger I just couldn't resist playing it everyday. I liked the idea, of playing as a Pokémon, but not as the Red Rescue Team, for example.
Plot/Story: The plot, is genius. Simply genius. It will make you finish the whole game. That's all I can say without giving away any spoilers, unfortunately.
Graphics: The graphics, were amazing, I liked how they added new tiles, and how they actually put Pokémon sprites in the battles and outside of the battles, instead of the trainers throwing a Poke ball and walking.
Sound: It's kind of nostalgic, actually. It brings back those good old days, from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. For me, at least.
Depth: The game offers a lot. From puzzles, to intense battles. You will fight Pokémon from the most common, to the rarest.
Difficulty: The game isn't difficult at all, if your a Pokémon expert. I gave "7" for the difficulty, because I wasn't an expert at the time. But it's not that hard actually.
As I said at the beginning, this game will hold a special place in my childhood, so I'm giving it a 9.9. This game's creator/creator's deserve a gigantic thanks for making this game.

Great game druuuury23
As a long time player of the Pokémon series, I found this hack to be unique and very well done. The fact that you get to play as the actual Pokémon is very creative, and is what lead me to test out this game after viewing the screen shots. The story line I thought was great, different from the usual Pokémon game (getting all gym badges and defeating the elite four). I liked the fact that you had a permanent team, but I hoped that you would at least be able to evolve some of your team, which you can't. The graphics are also pretty great - seems the creator used some samples from other Pokémon games but also made some new designs as well. The game play is also very creative, using healing herbs and stones instead of Poke centers, and having the Pokémon talk among each other. I started playing this game yesterday, and have been hooked ever since. Highly recommend trying this one out. ---- 9.5/10

Pokemon Ruby Destiny Rescue Rangers: Difficulty: 4
It was an extremely simple game that put you on track with the mission with hardly allowing you to stray a little bit from the actual mission. If you just fight everything you are suppose to your levels go up pretty fast, at some points you'll just overpower your opponent. And since none of the main 3 (Pikachu, Chikorita, and Torchic) do not evolve your leveling up takes much less time. You also go over a lot of the same routes, so none of the Pokemon on that route actually get anymore difficult. (Example) The members of your team will already be level 15, but the Pokemon remain level 2~7. None of the bosses even were that difficult, the AI of them is just like the first few trainers you meet on the beginning routes.
Depth: 8
Rescue Ranger did a great job for making an enjoyable story! I was hooked from the very start. Everything about the main story was near flawless, but after completing the 8 badges you get lost with your what you're actually doing. It took me some time before I figured out what I was actually suppose to do from then on, but even then it wasn't long before I got lost again. Details kind of slow down as you progress making I difficult to find out what your next action should be.
But going back to the main story and main routes to pass those missions. From the first mission I knew this game would be an actual ball. Nothing went wrong, the rival teams were very fun to interact with, and talking to the other Pokemon in the town. Going on journeys to find your friends that were also turned into Pokemon. Many parts of the story could have been improved, but if they made a second or maybe more games like this I would not be complaining.
Story: 10
As I was saying about the depth of the actual story, this is the same. The story could not be any better. There were many plot holes and things the were left unsaid, but with everything that was a flaw there was a greater feature that would over power it. Incorporation new Pokemon that would play as an enemy, and doubled as a legendary. Making heaven and hell actual places that you can get to! Even though the legendaries didn't live up to the name of legends, they were fun to discover.
Many plot holes occurred while playing, but they just appear that way to me. Like what happened to the rest of the main characters friends? He had 4 going in and we on we only managed to find 3? Every flaw has a better feature is what I said previously, which I still completely stand by what I said. Even though one of your friends is not in your group, you get to have 2 of your other friends on your team. I am not one for spoilers, so you'll have to play for yourself to find out who they are and what Pokemon they are represented as.
Addictiveness: 10
I said I was hooked from the start, and that is the truth. I could not stop playing once I began. This is my ideal feel for a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon style game. I never was a fan of the mystery dungeon games, but this game made me want to play every single one of them. Everything about that game will want you to play some more. Lacking the ability to catch Pokemon until you have obtained all 8 badges was kind of edgy for me, but still not liking that concept it kept me on track with the story rather than finding a new ideal team member.
When you begin your missions you normally have a set goal, but there are so many quests to do on the way to your mission. The game will never be called "tired" in my opinion, there seems to be something to do, even when you are lost. Getting to know your fellow team mates, brings out how a team should actually be. Honestly, the team is what makes the journey, not the mission. Playing as several different team mates that I normally would never use (e.g. Swellow, Chikorita, ect.) made me have a new feeling for them, I never felt the need to use one, but I became addicted to the whole idea of this team.
Sound: 8
For a majority of the game I didn't have my volume on. I accidentally turned it on while trying to turn my music on, and I hummed along with it. I loved the music, it may be a little toned, but that is the case with a lot of games. The different theme music that would go along with each area. After getting the 8 badges and having access to most of the areas; I decided to listen to each routes music while looking for my next mission/quest and each tune went perfectly along with each area. The newer games definitely beat it in sounds, but still a perfect fit for each new place to explore.
Graphics: 9
I could probably talk about the graphics for 5 hours straight. But forgetting the many graphical glitches that are hardly noticeable, everything from each detail made me fan-girl slightly. I love games that have a new graphic style, but this one had the perfect one that seemed to fit perfectly with the game. Obviously it was going to fit with each different route (e.g. Forests were green, mountains were a mahogany, ect.) especially all the detail in the tiles and aura of the whole game. Feeling like the area you were in. Nothing could beat the graphics of this game.
But like very other game there is always a few flaws. When in a lot of caves there would be glitches with the walls and some rocks wouldn't even register as rocks allowing me to just walk right through them. Random trees would just be sitting on the cave walls. I would notice a lot of he time you would find a glitch in the water while surfing, but I can't name any specifics. With these little glitches made it seem like the creator didn't feel the need to check it twice before actually sending it out. Of course there was a lot of effort put into this game, but sometimes the little things make it change for us.
Overall: 9.4
I would recommend this game to everyone. It was tireless, great story, went into a lot of depth, and was a breeze. Not being the toughest game, it would feel like a breeze on hot summer day. Only 0.6 away, because as all games do it had a lot of flaws and plot holes. A game is never a perfect 10, a little error always is better.

The most unique Pokemon hack ever gamerforlifefor..
Each game in the Pokemon Ruby Destiny series is fantastic and should be played by all Pokemon hack fans. This game in particular is the most unique game in the series because it blends mainstream Pokemon with elements from the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series such as the fact that the main character turns into a Pikachu and has the character sprite of one, he/she joins a rescue team and team meanies makes and appearance. With that out of the way it's time to get this review started!
Graphics: 9/10 The graphics are no different than Pokemon Ruby. The game still offers the same great graphics that that Ruby did, the scenery such as the trees and the pokemon themselves look great. Overall, the graphics for this game are worthy of a 9.
Sound: 8/10 Again, this game has the same soundtrack as Pokemon Ruby, but each song is used in different parts of the game than Ruby did. The music is just as catchy in this game, which is why I'm giving the sound an 8.
Story: 9/10 The story starts with the main character going to his 10th birthday party with his 4 friends. Something strange happened and he gets transported to a forest. He soon finds a chikorita and a torchic and joins their rescue team as well as try and find his friends. I don't want to put spoilers in here so I'll stop there and say the script was well done. There were plenty of funny moments as well as some sad moments. Overall, the story in this game is great enough to get a 9 from me.
Addictiveness: 9/10 I'd definitely be willing to play this game again because it's so unique, the story is well written and there's a lot to do. The one complaint I have about this game is that if your party gets defeated in the Tower of Fate a crazy glitch happens multiple eevee's appear outside and you can't complete the game. Fortunately this did not happen to me but I'd advise everyone who decides to play this game to make sure to do a ton of level grinding before heading in there and to save before you enter and not save again in case you're not ready. Still, I think this game's addicting enough to get a 9.
Depth: 8/10 Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Rescue Rangers offers a lengthy main story that will satisfy all fans of JRPGs. There's a good amount of battles throughout the game. While there are some longer games out there, this games length is good enough for me to give the depth an 8. Difficulty: 8/10 Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Rescue Rangers is a tough hack that will test your abilities with handling a specific team throughout your journey. There's a a ton of legendaries that you need to fight as well. The battles especially towards the end are tough enough for me to give the difficulty an 8.
Overall Score: 9/10 Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Rescue Rangers is an extremely unique hack that offers a the perfect cross between mainstream Pokemon and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. It has great graphics, great music, a lenghty and tough adventure, and a great storyline that you can expect from a hack made by destinedjagold. Overall, Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Rescue Rangers is an amazing hack that should be played by alll pokemon fans, and it deserves an overall score of 9 out of 10.

Pokemon ruby destiny rescue rangers review arutherford123
This is probably my favorite hack on vizzed. All though this is a hack, I love a game with a good storyline. The story line is when its your birthday you dress up as a pikachu and then suddenly you and all your guests are transported to the Pokémon world apart from each other. The only thing I don't like about this game is the name. I find it too long and difficult to type. Other than that I would say that this game is fun exciting and all around fun!

Ruby Destiny Review TaffyTheEevee
This game is a really good fan game. Instead of just being a pokemon mystery dungeon hack where they just add something new, this game has gone straight ahead. The Story is Your at your birthday party with all your friends. You join them and then suddenly.. You get teleported into the forest! Now You look like a pokemon! You encounter some other Pokemon and they ask "Would you like to join our rescue team?" You end up joining them and going on adventures! This game has the greatest story of a fangame i have ever played. It has a perfect amount of difficulty. Sometimes you fight LEGENDARY Pokemon! But if you play the game long enough, The game gets to a perfect difficulty. The graphics are amazing. SO Overall i give this game a ten out of ten. Its the best pokemon mystery dungeon fan game i have ever seen. Also, there are no pokeballs. Sometimes you just get pokemon to join you.
