Game Review

Johto region review

The Johto region, a place with mystery, tragedy and tradition.

In this region there is a town called Mahogany Town, this town harbours emotions, tradition and tragedy.

150 years prior to Gen II and IV, Burned Tower (known as Brass Tower) caught fire due to thunder striking it, at this time, Lugia fled to avoid hurting itself. As this was happening three Pokémon died, then out of nowhere, Ho-Oh from Bell Tower revived the three Pokémon into the three Legendary Beasts. Once he accomplished this, it fled Bell Tower to return 150 years later where the Kimono Girls start a ritual to summon Ho-Oh, with this the accomplish it and it battles the player.

Team Rocket, villainous group from Kanto, they return with the search for their leader, Giovanni, who disbanded the group after promising to disband if defeated by Red, the protagonist from Gen I and III. They are led by the current leader, Archer, who is behind the operation to find Giovanni. Tohjo Falls is the place Giovanni is hiding.

Overall, this part of the game provides adventure and mystery which is great for players who love mystery and adventure.

Here are the Pos and Neg’s:

Positives

 * Updated graphics inline with Gen IV compared to Gen II


 * Rematch with Gym Leaders


 * Pokeathlon


 * Battle Frontier

Negatives

 * Giovanni should’ve been included in the main plot at the end
