Player Reviews
Average score: 3.6 out of 5 (based on 16 ratings with 1 reviews)
The Good
Story is relatively simple imo, which is pretty commonplace for Pokemon games. May be a downside to some, but I'm personally fine with keeping it simple, gives more focus to the gameplay, which is fantastic. Moving and attacking in 8 directions, many locations to explore, boatloads of Pokemon to recruit, and a plethora of missions to complete.
The Bad
Difficulty can be pretty bad once you hit a certain point of the game and you don't know to be prepared. I won't spoil anything, but there is a section of the game where you are away from your base for an extended period of time going through dungeon after dungeon. As a kid this caught me off guard and I struggled through this section, fainting quite often.
Also, the fact that you need to fight through a dungeon each attempt at a Legendary kind of sucks, no save scumming to be had here.
Also monsters houses are the worst.
The Bottom Line
A fairly simple story that can still latch onto you emotionally while also providing great gameplay that is a refreshing change up from just playing the standard Pokemon RPG. A large amount of things to do and collect, which will keep you busy for a very long time.
The 5 stars might be a tiny bit biased.
