And yet that Oshawott killed everything fairly easily, probably because this game seems to be focused a bit too much on the power rating each Pokemon has.

Given that the Wiiware game made up the whole "toy Pokémon" thing to excuse the fact that the graphics were awful, maybe it wasn't the best idea to continue it into the sequel. I mean, this looks okay, but a world inhabited solely by living "toy" Pokémon is not what I expect out of a Pokémon game.

In every other Patrick/Ryan Quicklook, someone says "I think we're thinking about this a little more than maybe we were intended to"

This game reminds me of Recettear (the action parts).

I played the demo of the WiiWare version of this game, and didn't see the appeal at all. It seems incredibly tedious.

Always choose the Pokemon with the highest attack power. Run around, mash your 1-2 attack buttons. Win every fight regardless of type matchup, because you're the only Pokemon smart enough to run away from attacks that are charging up. The End.

I think it's fine as simple game for kids that like Pokemon, but if you're old enough to be a regular user of this site, I don't understand how this can have much lasting appeal to you after the first half hour.

They definitely just made them toys so audiences would be more accepting of the hideous garbage artwork. Nintendo Seal of Quality!

Toy Pokemon interacting and fighting? Ridiculous only real Pokemon can do that.

all the negative stuff I've seen on other sites I thought were bullshit. I would rather decide for myself. These quick looks are very helpful, because upon looking at the game in action, it is obvious this is another Nintendo game. It is a game I have not played before, but it is by Nintendo, it has pokemon, and it looks like a very fun and unique experience, just like every other new nintendo game I have experienced.

Just like every new experience Nintendo throws at you, as long as you are open to the experience, you will love it.

I would consider this game, but Nintendo decided to charge $40 for it.

man this was long ago and yet you people still probably complain why not just get it and test it for yourself? ( I already got the game and I gotta say that the game isn't that bad it does get boring after you beat the game though)
