My Annoyed Review
This is a very harsh review, Do not read if you absolutely LOVE this hack.
Now First of all let me list the good things about this hack:
-It looks good!

Yeah... thats about it. This hack is by far one of the most annoying pokemon hacks I have ever played and I personally don't understand why it is rated so highly. I have been doing a blind LP (Currently recorded up to finding snorlax and shinx from the zoo) and I have to say most of my commentary has been utter disgust for this hack. I had high hopes for this one. Its been called one of the greatest hacks ever and everyone loves it. One person commented on my first episode telling me it was well worth it. They were wrong. This hack gives you great items at the start, and the pokemarts sell expensive items right off the bat when you can't afford it.
Nearly everyone in this hack is too nice, There is no way every single person can be content after losing. At least in the regular pokemon games there are folks who are angry, in fact some of them vow to defeat you -and they aren't all darn annoying rivals might I add-
The text gets old and fast, not only was it way to lengthy with the back story which wasn't that interesting for arceus, many npcs repeat the same ******* things another said. Everyone in towns all act the same there is no difference between npcs besides different text. Like I said the only thing I enjoyed was the graphics.
The amount of rivals makes me want to rip the small strands of my hair off of my head. When I say they are the most useless rivals I mean it. They are all too happy go lucky, drop down to having 2 pokemon when they started off using 3+ which makes no sense. And majority of them do nothing but show up after an area to battle. Worst part about it is you fight them a million times! In regular pokemon games (excluding R/B/Y to an extent) The rival usually has a reason to be there. In G/S/C you meet him by TR because he is trying to defeat them as well, even in Red and blue he helps you out and manages to learn from his losses.
Team steam, oh god these guys. These are the worst villainous team ever to be made into a hack. They are simple there. A typical "We are evil because we want to be" team that need sot be stopped at all cost. "we want to rule the world blah blah blah". Even worse than that they pretty much copied some of cyrus from team galatic's goals as well. I honestly cannot understand the ratings of this hack.
Now here is another thing that annoyed me, omg I just met you, and this is crazy, here's a Dratini, take it maybe? The Pokemon are giving to you on a silver platter, I literally received all my team members from NPCs or randomly lying on a table somewhere. There was no challenge in capturing them. At least make us work for our dang pokemon teams!
Oh another thing, I'm so strong, I use 2 pokemon and manage to beat the world champion and the 8th gym leader yet I get owned by a kid whose pokemon are more than 30 levels below the world champions. BS straight up BS.
The entire reason I have so much pent up anger towards this hack is because of how it was executed. The graphics were clearly the centre of attention and not the actually storyline. Yes you're good with graphics and scripting but beyond that you need to stop thinking conventionally. There were a few more things I wanted to address but I currently can't remember them all. (I'm sure once i start recording tomorrow i'll--)
Oh yes, the thing that annoys me the most. TMs being used as HM moves to advance through the game. IF YOU HAVEN'T REALISED YET! Everyone dislikes being forced to carry certain moves around. Now Ice smash(brick break) not a bad move, but forcing me to learn focus punch and a few other moves just annoys me. My movesets are so screwed up right now because of lauren. Check G/S/C, all the moves used in johto were all you needed in kanto, not an entirely new set of moves especially since both regions are right next to each other. There wouldn't be any freaking big distinct change between them!
The hack hands everything over to you, its storyline is too typical, Its all about the graphics, has a typical bad team with the same typical plans.
I don't want anyone to hate on me for this but I seriously expected better from a hack that has been given praise for its "epic storyline". I have to say both Fuligin and Snakewood far exceed this one in my opinion.
I'm hoping that this LP ends at part 70 I honestly and barely holding on to my sanity while LPing this and I don't want to quit this its just urgh.
Anyway that is my review, if you are angry at my review it is simply put MY OPINION. We are all entitled to one may I remind you.
