As the second "remake chapter" in the series, this chapter works better than its predecessor ''FireRed & LeafGreen''. Featuring all the new elements and characters in the games (aside from the Battle Frontier already in Sinnoh), as well as being a bridge between chapters it’s a real masterpiece. In addition, being 18 rounds long it is at a perfect length for a remake chapter that should be short as they feature only previously introduced main characters who already have been in the footlights (yes, we mean you ''FR&LG'' ಠ_ಠ).  

This chapter is still great, but there are certain things to it that make is less enjoyable as most other chapters. The characters are the best feature of the chapter, the two main characters’ are gender role-breakers (come on, Sapphire is [[May]]’s only counterpart who isn’t a Coordinator) but the thing that makes them the less good characters is the [[FranticShipping]], a clear and not very well done love-drama side plot. The rest of the characters are good, as is the story though it’s A LITTLE too slow-paced and the last battle takes almost one third of the chapter. BORING! A great and memorable chapter but with certain flaws it isn’t as good as its Generation IV counterpart.

This chapter is very, very overrated by the fandom. It’s nice that it takes place on the Sevii Islands but it’s way too slow paced and the final battle is ridiculously long compared to how little actually happens during it. On the plus side the chapter saw the introduction of the Three Beasts and especially Sird is a marvelous character. Also the way how it connects to the other chapters is well made up. There are other redeeming and good innovations (like the weather change- thingie) but the storyline just doesn’t work for it being too long and, as stated, very slow paced. Just not our cup of tea this one.
