The Wii Shop...other than Virtual Console, there really wasn't necessarily anything interesting to use Wii Points on. Then, I saw it...a demo for a certain game..."Pokemon Rumble". I download it, guiding Mario to the coins while the game downloads. I boot it up and play. It is amazing! I HAVE to get the full version! Now that I have told you my experience, let's get to the review.

Graphics: 7
For a WiiWare game, the graphics are pretty good. The premise is that the Pokemon are metal toys(not plastic, as I once thought). The Pokemon look alright.

Sound: 5
The music for the game is pretty good Each area has a different theme and they sound alright. However, it's hard to enjoy the stage music because of the battle theme (I have experience with this as someone who enjoyed Sonic Unleashed).

Addictive: 10
This game is extremely addicting! Though the premise is simple, it is done very well.

Story: 6
The story is pretty basic, raise a team of champions to take on the Battle Royale and prove that you are the very best like no one ever was.

Depth: 4
The game is pretty small. There are only pokemon from Generations 1 and 4, which is weird because some Gen 4 Pokemon evolve from Pokemon from Gen 2. Also, the game boils down to:
1. Go to area
2. Fight everything
3. Pray that you can make the enemy wobble so you can knock it down and recruit it

Difficulty: 7
The game can be difficult. However, it really doesn't get difficult until EX Mode, which is unlocked after clearing the main story. Your main strategy is to use a Pokemon that has ranged attacks, or spamming a swiping attack that creates a sort of barrier in front of your Pokemon.

Overall: 9.5
This game is really, really good. Unfortunately, there isn't really a way to get this game unless you have a Wii with it already on it. Of course, you can sail the high seas (That is your choice to make.) The thing about this is that there is NO other way to get this game. The Wii Shop closed a while back and there is no other legitimate way to play it.
