I eventually got around to playing it last semester, so I will share my thoughts on it. Pokémon Light Platinum (not to be confused with Pokémon Platinum) is a rom hack of Pokémon Ruby and it seems to be one of the most popular and recommended Pokémon rom hacks from what I’ve seen, so it was high on my list of rom hacks to check out. Also this review ended up being longer than I thought, so I will split it up into two parts: part one (this post) will cover the things I liked about the game, and the second part will cover what I did not like about it and a quick wrap up. Note: obviously this review is my personal opinion so it will be subjective to some extent, but I will tie in aspects of game design that we have learned and discussed in class such as the tetrad of elements (mechanics, aesthetics, story, and technology), balance, flow, etc.
