Opening Snide Remarks: Well, I've heard so much about it, I decided to check 
it out myself. The only trouble was, it wasn't anywhere to buy! Finally a 
Walmart had it... so I got it for $25.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Impressions: This is a black device that has roughly the same dimensions as 
the GameShark or Memory Card. Fortunately, it serves to do both. Firstly, it 
is a CUSTOM COLORIZER for older GB games. It takes a while to understand it, 
but after you do, it's easy. Second, it is a 72-slot Memory card, and it 
works the exact same as InterAct's card (why'd I get the MMC when I could've 
gotten the Monster Brain??) Thirdly, and most importantly, it is a Pokémon 
Gold/Silver editor! With it you can edit the Pokémon's abilities, stats, 
etc.etc.; get ANY item; edit clock, time, PokéDex seen/caught amounts, names 
of Pokémon, rival, and you; what you have in Poké-Gear, and the pointless, 
but interesting, FLY anywhere cheat. Unfortunately, it is only used on 
Pokémon Gold and Silver. You have to buy a Brain Boy or the first Monster 
Brain (the only difference is TCG support) The interface is really easy 
to use, though, and you can learn to use it in minutes.

Liked: Great colorizer and PKMN editor, easy to use, great on buffing up 
Pokémon. Very good price, too.

Hated: Only used on GS, can't colorize CGB games, cartridge sticks out at 
odd angle from the Monster Brain.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Improve: Pokémon RBY support along with GS, maybe Crystal when it comes out. 
Cartridge slot straighter, better colorizer, and not as obnoxious background 
for interface.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Final Words: If you like Pokémon GS, get this!! If you REALLY hate the 
colors for some games on the GBC alone, get this!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Score: 98%

Secrets: Go to the website to get 'Poke's. Those give you stuff, I guess...
