This is a fun game that I own and I decided to review it because I'm very familiar with this game.

Summary: Same basic classical Pokémon game ideas; fight bad guys, be a Pokémon master, and of course "gotta catch 'em all!” this is a slightly different story of a kid who lives in a different Pokémon region and with it new Pokémon.

Graphics: I'll be honest when I first bought this game I was amazed by how much better it was then the generation before but that is to be demanded in the first place ( If they made a game boy advance game that looked like the game boy color I would have problems).  Let me go into detail about it.  First of all, the battle scenes… The Pokémon look a lot cleaner and are a lot prettier...yes...even their backside.  They attempted to give that white empty space where the Pokémon, stats, and option bar doesn't cover, they did a little better by adding a spot of the surroundings below each Pokémon so if you are at sea you sea water below you or if you are in a cave you see earth below you.  Pokémon still don’t move when making an attack, it would be nice to see a fighting Pokémon pull back it’s fist right before it attacks or when a Pokémon is hit it actually responds to the severity of the hit. 

 I’ve noticed a few cool things here and there, like when you walk by a puddle you can actually see your reflection on it which is a nice touch.  I noticed that in Lilycove the waves don’t try to climb up the side of the cliff as water should, instead it seems to appear and disappear under them. Also the world of magical creatures seems to also have magic trees that seem to naturally grow in a perfectly straight rows and growing nearly exactly alike.  Also, though they did improve about the backless building phenomena it still doesn’t work perfectly; when I walk behind an obviously tall building I still can only just get under the top of the building.


Sound: None of the songs in my opinion are memorable and will never compete with the classic tunes of the classics but they do indeed give a Pokémon feel to this game.  It would have been a sweet feature if they added an option where you could play the old tunes on the game but that may just be me.  On occasion when you fly from one place to another the theme is the same.  They made it so the music wouldn’t stop abruptly and then start the same song over again from the beginning but I still think it would have been better to have given each flyable area a different soundtrack but don’t take me wrong because they do have several songs and tunes for places.  Nintendo still hasn’t allowed Pokémon to have their own voice, I would have loved it if some of them excluding a few (I prefer hearing a roar from a legendary), I want Pikachu to actually go “pik-ach-u!”. 

Story: Same old story, crazy mother sends a little kid into the world with one little Pokémon on the child but now they also have a lunatic for a father who also supports it. Also this kid manages to disrupt not one group of organized crime but two!  Then you supposedly have an extremely talented kid, when realistically you just have knowledge of the game and basic common sense.  This is the Pokémon formula: totally unrealistic… but hey, who wants that!


Depth/ Addictiveness: This game has the most things to do of any before it.  Now you have an upgraded concept of the cell phone in the GBC games called the “ Pokenav” (short for Pokemon navigator) so now the first battle you have with a normal trainer isn’t final.  They grabbed the Pokemon Tower concept from the past and ran away with it creating one of the most entertaining/time consuming pokemon creation ever.  The Pokemon frontier gives experienced gamers the difficulty they can’t get from fighting at the Elite Four.  Finally, they give you contests where judges decide the winner by performance and appearance.  Winning these new additions and the classic gaming experience makes a game sure to make the most bang for your buck.

It ain’t perfect but any pokemon fan would be a fool not to buy this game.
