This has become one of my favorite Pokemon hacks for several reasons. One of those reasons is the starter choice goes beyond the basic grass, water, and fire starters, offering Riolu and Shinx as well. Secondly you can travel to 2 other regions besides the main region which adds to both difficulty and the depth of the game. The story-line is unique and brings you in to the game more, despite the hatred you may begin to feel towards a certain red-scarfed Pokemon. 

This game is rather difficult at times, but there are several areas that are perfect for grinding such as the lighthouse challenges. I think the hardest part for me was the Johto League Elite 4, but once I finished grinding it wasn't too bad anymore. That really is the key to this game, grinding. The more you grind the easier the game will become but even with a level 100 it isn't a breeze to conquer late in the game, it helps if you have several high leveled Pokemon, so grind them all! 

As far as the sound goes I play with my games on mute, so I am not able to judge Pokemon cries, or the music playing. Though I do know that each Pokemon has the correct cry which is a plus in it's own. However the graphics are especially nice, in my opinion, for a Pokemon Emerald hack. 

I put the addiction level at 10/10 because I spent hours each day playing this game and grinding until I completed the game. Even after completing the game I still came on and hatched eggs because the purchased eggs can have any Pokemon in them, except for legendaries of course.

SparkleJoy : actually Sparkle several pokemon have the wrong cries even the red-scarfed Pikachu doesn't have the normal Pikachu cry once you get it as your own pokemon ... I'm currently training it because I feel it has potential and despite it's behavior earlier in the game I do forgive it
because I feel bad for chasing it from it's home at the start of the game yea the goal was only to get it away from your parents you never meant to take it completely from it's home but that is just how the game went

also I Sparkle is right this game is awesome and the more you grind the easier it gets so if your not a fan of grinding in a game then maybe this isn't for you ... though to be honest choosing Riolu as your starter and getting it to evolve into Lucario pays off huge in the end after the Stormy City gym because once it reached level 65 by grinding I never had to grind again the rest of the gym leaders fell in defeat with ease and he is now level 91 because I'm training up the rest of my team who are 60 and under at the Training Island for the 1st pokemon league I'm sorta an over training type of person so by the time I'm done they might all be level 100

so to evaluate it myself I give it a 10 for addiction because I loved the game alot, 7 for music because like most pokemon games it gets annoying after a while but then you get used to it enough to block it out and focus on what is important in the game, 9 for difficulty because unless you know the layout and some of what to do next your going to get stuck and get frustrated but my advice is calm down and relax it is a game so don't over stress yourself over it and just ask whoever is also playing it what to do next and if they are nice someone will gladly help you also the excessive grinding can get on peoples nerves, 10 for graphics it was a beautiful layout that I greatly enjoyed see and playing through it, and finally a 10 for uniqueness and originality this is a well thought out plot and it isn't anywhere near the game it was based on so that is a huge plus to the creator and the fact you get to meet him in game is also very coolz

also as a personal message to the creator if this game were to ever become a real life playable 3DS game I'd totally buy it because it was that awesome of a game <3

Like I said I play on mute and I wrote that based on what I've been told, my mistake ;-;. I like listening to my own playlists while I play Pokemon especially when so much grinding is involved. Once again sorry about the mistake!! ;-;.

Jygin :   Actually Jygy, I'm a fan of really playing through the game, not grinding. This game is totally for me and I don't really grind. Your view is quite narrow. The game itself is very interesting. I'd rather keep playing than finish early after achieving one of the easiest storyline goals to complete.

Grinding is never the key to any game. It's really boring. I try to avoid it whenever possible. I prefer to have fun.

SparkleJoy :  It is perfectly fine to make a mistake. We all do some things that make no sense.
