7.5/10
From the moment I started playing, it was clear that "Pokémon Messed Up Version" is not for the faint of heart. The game throws you into a world that's seemingly been turned upside down. Pokémon behave erratically, items have unexpected effects, and the very fabric of the Pokémon universe seems to be twisted in ways that defy logic.
I'll admit, I approached "Pokémon Messed Up Version -XXX- -v2.0- -hulster-" with a mix of curiosity and trepidation. The title alone suggests a game that's unapologetically chaotic, a Pokémon ROM hack that revels in its own messiness. As a fan of the Pokémon series and an enthusiast of ROM hacks, I was eager to dive in and see what this game had to offer.
Despite (or because of) this chaos, I found myself laughing out loud at the absurdity of it all. It's like playing a game of " Pokémon roulette" – every encounter is a surprise, and you've got no idea what's going to happen next.
The gameplay is... unpredictable. You'll encounter Pokémon that are already at level 50, only to have them suddenly flee from battle or use moves that are hilariously out of place. The item system is similarly broken, with potions sometimes turning into rocks or evolution stones having unintended consequences.
