HaRdEsT rOm HaCk?! How good was Pokemon Emerald Kaizo? Overrated or good? An in depth ROM review
If you’re into pokemon ROM hacks then you most likely have heard about Pokemon Emerald Kaizo, supposedly THE hardest ROM hack ever made, it’s actually most likely not but I’ll get to that. Before I brought this game into the spotlight, Emerald Kaizo was a very obscure and unknown game, with only the most hardcore players knowing of its existence, before I made my first video on this game, there were hardly any videos of kaizo on youtube, and the few ones that did exist had only a couple thousand views at most. But after I made my first video on this game, and brought it to people’s attention for it’s ludicrous gameplay, this game exploded in popularity and now so many poketubers have jumped onto this game after seeing how popular it became, and started making their own videos with...very varying levels of quality. People jumped on this game because it was trendy, gotta get them views right?! but I feel like most misunderstand Emerald Kaizo as a game, I myself was to blame for this as I was the one who introduced this game to a wide audience, after trying to nuzlocke this game over and over again. But honestly, my opinion of this game has changed drastically over time, in this video I want to take a retrospective look at this game and answer the question, is Emerald Kaizo a good game overall? The short answer...not really, kinda sorta, it’s complicated. Some youtubers overhype this game and overplay or difficulty card and sensationalising the game. But does difficulty on it’s own make a game inherently good? There’s a lot to unpack so I'll be analysing what this game does differently. What it does well and what it doesn’t do well.
