4.5/5 ★ – jdraco's review of Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.
Alpha Sapphire will always have a special place in my heart
It was the first Pokémon game that I ever played and I fell in love with it as a kid
I would draw the Pokémon, collect the cards, buy all the games, and that all came about from me playing this game
For real this Pokémon shit consumed my life to a point where it became an obsession
I put legit like 400 hours into this game
And after finally replaying it once again, it’s still pretty great to me
Not 400 hours great, but it’s still really, really solid
Alpha Sapphire broken down is just the Gen 3 game that everyone loves, but with updated graphics and Gen 6 mechanics
And for me personally, those Gen 6 mechanics make it so there’s no real reason to go back and play the GBA games
Unless you’re just really horny to go back and play emerald for some reason
But Honestly I don’t real have a flaw with this game, other than Pokémon battling as a whole being a RNG riddled cesspool, I again don’t really have many flaws
But some things that I like though is the music, the music is really good, I like the new primals and megas they added, Lorax is in the game
So yeah, I love this game and it’s late as fuck while I’m writing this review so I apologize if it’s dogshit
Bye
