Game background- Well Pokémon Ultra Violet is a Hack of Pokémon Firered, it truly does stand out from all other Pokémon hacks on Vizzed. Not only did the creator of the hack , hack the Pokémon locations and where they appear, he/she also made all Pokémon from the Kanto, Jhoto, and Hoenn region's catch able. The creator added on to the map(add new area's and special events), he/she did it in a way that has never been more appealing nor seen before. With the Pokémon, you will find there is multiple shiny Pokémon on every route you visit/go through and don't worry they are for the most part common to come across so if you kill a shiny you can always go back and there will be one another one either of that same Pokémon or of a different one.
Graphics- The graphics are based off of Pokémon Firered which were the best graphics for any Pokémon game that came out for the Gameboy Advanced system. There are no game freezes or colorization issues such as discoloration in building's, Pokémon animation's, or battle scene's, and the game doesn't lag either. And the shiny Pokémon you find in this are the actually official shiny Pokémon colors that you would see in an official Pokémon game. So for graphics I game Pokémon Ultra Violet a 10 out of 10.
Sound-The game's sound track is the same as Pokémon Firered's with no changes in tempo, or beat so I guess if you enjoy the sound for Pokémon Firered, you will enjoy the sound for this. The sound acoustics and pitch quality are what's to be expected of Pokémon Firered, it has no lags, no random stops(freezes)midway in the songs. Also none of the Pokémon battle cries have been altered and they all seem to make the correct cry appropriate for the Pokémon they are. So for Pokémon Ultra Violet's sound I gave the game a 10 out of 10.
Addictiveness-I actually enjoyed for the most part every minute I spend playing this game. I enjoyed mostly every minute of it because unlike other hacks we're all the starters are basically handed to you at the beginning(can be found immediately right from the start) this game isn't like that, the starters have all been spread out across the region in my opinion well thought out places considering their types.Another factor that made this game addicting was the fact that it had special events like the catching Mew event as well as the catching Jurichi event, and also allowed players to go to basically to the Johto and Hoenn region's to catch the legendary Pokémon that appear in those regions as well as well as the one's that appear in Kanto like Mew and Mewtwo for instance. You can catch all legendary Pokémon from generations 1-3 and basically play through there story/plot lines as well so as far as addictiveness goes me personally I was hooked and I give this games replay value a 10 even tho it is a longer hack then most. So for Pokémon Ultra Violet's addictiveness I gave the hack a 9 out of 10.The reason this category wasn't a 10 out of 10 is because like most Pokémon game it does get a little boring after a certain amount of time playing it daily.
Story-The story is basically the same as Pokémon Firered with just a few extra features like extra landscape(extra area's such as cave's and islands)added into the game where legend's can be found and also some with Pokémon from generations 2 and 3. Nothing really new dialog wise the characters(expect for nurse Joy at the PC) say the same things they would normally say. The market item's have been altered tho, you can buy certain item's you normally couldn't. Overall the story goes the same as any other Pokémon game,your a young boy/girl who has just stared your journey and obtained your first Pokémon today and has been asked to set off on a grad adventure to fully fill your pokedex for the kind professor who gave you your first Pokémon, but an evil crime syndicate has been scheming in the shadow's preying on the weak to steal and abuse their Pokémon for complete and total world conquering purposes and it's up to you a rising young and strong trainer to take them down. So for Pokémon Ultra Violet's I gave it's story a 9 out of 10. The story didn't get a 10 out of 10 because to me there was really wasn't many unique changes that hasn't been done or seen before in other hacks.
Depth- The hack is rather large and takes a considerable amount of time to fully beat, by that I mean filling the national pokedex, beating all gyms and the elite 4 and also hunting down and catching all the legend's in this hack . I estimate a play time to beat it a total of 2-3 weeks if you play on a average of 1-2 hours every other day but about 4-7 days if you play consecutively every day for 2-3 hours.With all it's bonus event's and extra area's to explore with diverse Pokémon in them you will be entertained and amused. So for Pokémon Ultra Violet's depth I gave it a 10 out of 10.
Difficulty-(Sigh) the more disappointing part of the review, it still has a pretty much brainless battle A.I. That makes constant battle mistakes and is still easy to defeat without much effort. The difficulty wasn't changed much as far as gym leader levels go as well as your rival's and the elite 4's and also wild Pokémon levels. So for Pokémon Ultra Violet 's difficulty I gave it a 6 out of 10. This category didn't get a 10 out of 10 because the game's difficulty is about the average of what you could expect of a Pokémon game.
Overall- Overall I gave Pokémon Ultra Violet a 9.8 out of 10 for it's creativity in the newly added event's, and overall freshness the game it makes you feel while actually playing, at no point throughout the hack, was I thinking "I've played this before some where" or " this is just like every other hack" so over all this hack is unique and has a promising spot as one of the best Pokémon hacks on Vizzed.
