So yes, I was greeted with the grand promise of five regions, three brand new, and two nostalgic. The land of Najlo, connected to another land of Rijon, which connects to Johto, Kanto, and another new place named Tunod. The moment I stepped out of the tutorial cave, I find myself in a brand new region. This part of the game had me controlling Larvitar into tiny holes, breaking rocks, battling with no item support, and flipping switches. Heck, even legit Generation 4 Pokémon battle sprites are not animated! I also uncover that ‘mining’ is an option by clicking on rocks if you have the tool, which I expect to solve the problem of limited supply of certain items like Heart Scales, Evolution Stones, and Fossils.Īlso, I get to send Pokémon on trainerless missions. A Larvitar.Īfter some minimal exploration, this game starts to look pretty darn sweet. Pokémon up to Generation 4 are up for grabs in this game, available in animated Generation 2 sprites. As I go to collect some more firewood, a landslide happens and I find myself locked in with what turns out to be my starter.

Couple of conversation lines go by mentioning a father with seemingly heavy responsibilities (typical TV trope). Instead of starting out at a warm stereotypical home with a seemingly single mother, I was stranded next to a campfire (with the mother). We are talking about an engine close to two decades old, where the base game only gave us two gender locked character models to choose from.
Nobody is going to expect this when they first boot up the game, but instead of the typical two character models, Prism offers up to twelve base character models (six per gender) and allows you to customize the base colors using a RGB adjusting system! This blew my mind not because its a cutting-edge feature (I played enough MMOs to see how basic this is), but how well thought out this is considering it is built on an extremely dated game engine.
It is a ROMhack based on Pokémon Crystal, so we get the two genders, we get animated sprites, and we get the familiar Generation 2 music from Crystal and much more. I slotted in Prism on my GBC emulator and I got greeted with a familiar…. But from many aspects, Prism is simply timeless. I know, with the advent of Phoenix Rising, talking about Prism just demonstrates how behind the times I am.
