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.
