Some are frustratingly difficult to find, some are insanely rare, and some are hidden in places you would never look. Catching all 180 or so Pokemon in Pokemon Emerald would be hard enough, but this talented hacker added 200 more to search out. Depth- This is the game's bread and butter. It is a nice story with some twists, but it certainly won't wow you. But then again, Pokemon doesn't draw its thousands of fans with its stories. I never laughed or cried during the story as you might with a Mario & Luigi or Kingdom Hearts game. 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. 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. This provides incredibly addictive gameplay because. It certainly won't be the same Zigzagoon you'd come to expect in Hoenn. 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. 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. Definately high quality for any GBA game. Exploring all the nooks and crannies in the region couldn't be more pleasant listening to the sounds of the Hoenn. 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. Sound- There is nothing like the nostalgia the sounds of Hoenn bring. 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. Pokemon games offer familiar graphics, and these are some of the best.

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. Graphics- Compared to other GBA games, this offers some of the best graphics the system can offer. Well, this review will tell what makes the game great, and what parts fall short. 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. The hack makes all 386 Pokemon, up to Generation III, obtainable through normal single-player gameplay.
