"A very underrated game even though it's really good..."

Wow! This game has got to be the most underrated game of all times! No offense to some people, but I think this game is pretty good. Though it may have some flaws, I still like the game. It has a very unique and funny idea unlike the usual Pokemon versions (though it isn't really Pokemon in the first place).

Gameplay: 10/10

Lots of people said that the gameplay of the game is horrible. Well, I definitely go against that. The gameplay is excellent. It's simple yet very nicely done. They use the old fashioned turn based style. But, they also add 2 on 2 or more battles. Not to mention that they put in what I call: Sacrifices. This is where you can instantly put out an E-monster when your current active E-monster is in trouble. This is really good for strategies. I always just bring my main E-monster and some other dudes along with me.

Oh and I really like their concept of getting Pokemon (or E-monsters). Instead of using Poke balls, when you kill an E-monster, that E-monster may give you his or her phone number. It's really cool I think. The only bad thing about this is that my game always stuff up if I go to my item screen and there are no items there, but hey, that is just minor.

Graphics: 9/10

The graphics in this game is excellent for a Game Boy Colour. Nice colours, lots of them too. The game is quite pixilated, but that's the only reason I gave graphics a 9. Everything else is good.

Sound/Music: ?/10

Sorry I never had sound whenever I play this game. Even if I did have sound, I probably would have rated it 10.

Others: (after difficulty and everything, it is 10/10)

Difficulty: 1/10 or 12/10

Well, you have two choices, it's either easy or hard. Why? Because I can just buy as many E-cards as I want for only 100 bucks each, level up my E-monster to 99 and lose no stats what so ever (of course I stop for evolutions and stuff) at the beginning of the game and just breeze through 95/100 of the game very easily (yep, you heard me, BEGINNING!). Or, I can do the old fashioned way and constantly train and versus trainers which level difference in each town is like 10. Your choice, the game has very little boundaries.

Grammar and Spelling: 4/10

This game has got some bad grammar. The spelling is kind of okay, but some parts are wrong too. I can't remember where the grammar mistakes were, maybe because there were too many of them.

Replayability: 10/10

Really, this game's replayability is really good. There are A LOT of side quests to do. You can evolve all your E-monsters, train everyone of them to level 99, get the special items, use my E-card cheat (hehehehehehehehe) and last but not least, get all E-monsters. I think you get everything on your first try at this game.

Overall: 10/10

It was tough, I had to decide whether to give it 9 or 10. But this game is too underrated and deserves some credit. The people who made this should pat themselves on the back, they did good. This game is pretty anyway.

Rent, buy or download?

I don't think it's possible to rent it, considering it's kind of a fake game of Pokemon. It's REALLY hard to buy it, since it's illegal. So your best bet would be to download. Of course, that's illegal too. But hey, trust me, this game is worth what you do and buy for it.
