Time is running out! Sacredfire/DACRE
This game is marvelous! I have never been so committed to saving the world in a Pokémon game! The storyline is deep and relatable, and the Pokémon are great! The only problems I have are that there are some tile flaws, the Unova Pokémon's names are in Japanese, some sprites (like Brawly for Gamer) are misused, and the Unova Pokémon don't learn their proper moves, rendering Bulbapedia close to useless. However, at first I thought, "Hey, maybe it's because he couldn't find a way to show them", but then I realized something. I switched from Pokémon Ruby 2012 to this game because my friend introduced me to it (and the undeniable fact that Pokémon Ruby 2012 has a MUCH HIGHER DIFFICULTY than I thought it would), and in Pokémon Ruby 2012, my Dewott learned Razor Shell just fine. Plus there was my Absol, FORESIGHT, who knew Psycho Cut and Night Slash, a Honchkrow that knew Foul Play, a Heracross that knew Close Combat, and a Sigilyph that knew Air Slash, so I immediately dismissed that theory. Aside from that, the creation of new sprites was genius, especially the Arcanine one. The only one I currently have a problem with is Tropius, simply due to the fact that it's been filled in with brown. Plus the fact that it's wings were encased in rock to remove it's ability of flying. Where's PETA or the ASPCA when you need them? Aside from that, I very much appreciate the new gym designs and Ash sprite. It gives the game flavor and raises my commitment to play forward. This is a game that I would play all day, EVERY day, for a whole MONTH! All this coming from just up to Village of Fire! Speaking of which, the villages were a wonderful idea. The names are kind of like warning signs to tell you what's next. That's good because the ACTUAL signs don't. I rate this an 8/10 for graphics because there's a screenshot of Ash standing on a computer, and I walked under a couple of tiles. Plus, on your way to Village of Fire, there is a spot you can't get past. If you go AROUND it, you'll find a Timer Ball. Unfortunately for you, IT'S A TRAP! You won't be able to get out. I learned this from experience. Plus, the trainers are scary. The only three things they say are, "Battle me!", "I lost.", and "You're really tough." Were they mind controlled or did they have their common intelligence beat out of them?! Another good thing is that half of the PokeDream is fulfilled by being able to obtain all the starters from Gen I, II, III, and V. I love this because after a beat the game, I can catch all of these Pokémon and raise them from lawless militia into a super effective fighting force. It's also very nice that the game can keep some continuity by going from village to village, route to route, with different Pokémon in each village! And the village designs are awesome! That's it for this edition of the SacredFire Lookout! Check out my review of Pokémon Shiny Gold on Dec. 31!

Pretty good winged fox
Lets start with the difficulty, which like any Pokémon game it is easy to play. The addictiveness of the game is high because of the new Pokémon added to make it more interesting. The story I have gotten about halfway through at the moment, the new Pokémon that the game introduces are fun and different, personal favorite is the water-type Arcinine, the "gym" battles are different the leaders have new teams.I really like how in the towns there is almost always someone to reward you for defeating the leader and stopping the wild Pokémon that the rival has changed to make into a weapon then lost control. The sound is like any Pokémon game.

I might be wrong Bladesclaw
This game is very simple. Not to hard and not to easy. You have the chance to catch genetic Pokémon unlike most games. But their is one problem with this game. Right when you enter the indigo plateau, right at the good part it's over. A guard allows you entrance to fight the elite four but u cannot fight them since some weird glitch is blocking the door and it acts as a p.C box so you cannot fight the elite four. So yeah end of the game. But overall a very good game But if other people do not have this glitch and it is probably just me then I apologize.
