Oh wow, this is unexpected. AWESOME.

Finally, all those people wanting the Pokémon Quick Look can be satisfied! Now we just need a Homefront video and a majority of people will be silenced!

Cool to see follow through on this. Had a rough couple of weeks, but I'm happy to see Giant Bomb getting back in rhythm.

I wonder if Ryan traded for the Tepig... A bacon butty is what we call bacon sandwiches in the UK.  Maybe that's a weird coincidence

I ALWAYS, without fail, fall into that trap of not switching out Pokemon because it lets the other guy have a free turn. In each game I have about 3 leveled Pokemon by the end, and only use the ones that aren't my starter when it's absolutely necessary.
 
Very rarely use buffs too.

When Vinny said this looks great, I was thinking the exact opposite. Regardless, I'll probably pick it up eventually.

Wow, this totally looks like every other Pokemon game.
 
A slightly updated sprite system and a 2.5D battle presentation is hardly anything to get excited about.

Agreed, but compared to most other late cycle DS games (Spirit Tracks) it doesn't hold up as well. Of course, people don't play Pokemon for the ground breaking graphics.

I picked Snivy then nicknamed it Smugleaf. 
 
AS ALL PEOPLE SHOULD.  
 
But I don't like how pokemon games haven't changed in the slightest, seriously, animate the pokemon attacking each other already.

Oh shit. I just remembered holding down A or B or some combination while the pokeball rocked because it helped capture the pokemon. Dont know if it was true.

If you kill the Audinos instead of capture them, you get massive amounts of EXP (they only show up in the shaking grass and are kinda rare).
