okay so this is a litlle bit different from the orignal pokemon series there is no pokeballs or pokedex you capture pokemon to help you for a certain time and then they leave you are also able to keep a few pokemon like pichu aka your starter you can have a max amount of 7 pokemon at your use.

Graphics 8 the graphics in this game were okay for a ds the put a lot of work into the mountains you see and the ocean looked very real. i wish they could have stepped up on the battle system it was just missing something from my point of view. but overall the graphics looked pretty nice espeacilly when you are able to go into the underwater sea and fly in the clouds that looked awesome.

Sound 9 the sounding in this was normal pokemon voices nothing was really changed no charcters had any voices it was just the pokemon. the music in this game was really fun to listen to especially most of the pokemon you could summon like entei had very awesome songs when you used them. and battle music was great the music i loved the most was the pokemon pinchers battle theme is was the best out of all the music in the game.


Addictiveness: 8 i very loved playing this game because most of the sidequests were entertaining to do especially the multiplayer side quest or you could do it alone was the thing were you character goes in the past and you have to go through all these trials to save Arceus or something. and even the final side quest where you had to find these rare pokemon and show them to someone to show that you are the best pokemon ranger in the world and that took a while too.

Depth 9 the game had lot's of quests and side quests to complete and the puzzles were annoying the quest to complete the game were the hardest to complete though. then they give you all these like riddles type things and traps to make you have to start over the place again.

Difficulty 8 this game can be very difficult because sometimes you have to look at both screens like when you're doing a sign but you have a limited time to complete it or you fail and have to try again. and basically every dingle puzzle you do will have a catch that will make you want to scream.

Story 8 the story starts as you choosing gender in this game the oppisite gender becomes your best friend who helps you sometimes in the game. you start out by chasing villians in the shy with you and your friends staraptors. you get attacked by one of their leaders and you wake up in the sea so you swim away then you get a flashback from when you got a  mission from your leader. then you are on this island trying to find a way off but you see a pichu with an instrument on it's back. but it attacks you then you are able to capture it. and it becomes ver friendly towards your character. then this old man comes talks to you about the people on these werid saucer things. they use those to get around and pinch pokemon. and he tells you how pichu plays his instrument when electricity flows through him and helps him play it.

Overall this game is a very good game with great graphics you can see lot's of puzzles to solve and very addictive and has a wonderfull story line that goes with it.

I know this is an older review and you may have corrected some of this in more recent reviews, but I am going to say it anyway.

The lack of punctuation and proper grammar made this review very hard to read. I had to read very carefully to understand what you were saying, and some of it still didn't make sense. Reviews are supposed to be professional, so PLEASE use proper grammar.
