Shout out to @Beta1042, @Darkone4587, @Alamino, @Lunaatremisasama, and @JimJom for recommending this game! Clearly Pokémon is a pretty popular favorite!
I knew that there would be a day that I’d play this game – who knew that I would be reviewing it in the process? There’s so much to say about the pop culture firestorm that is Pokémon, so I hope that with my character limit I can provide a good enough overview.
–Verdict–
Art: Each game brings vibrant new locales and wildly wacky new creatures to discover, with consistently improving graphics to boot. The imagination for the characters here is really where the game shines in the style category, with the rest of the assets being pretty standard for a handheld game.
Gameplay: Battle opponents and capture other Pokémon in an incredibly detailed version of Rock, Paper, Scissors that spans entire continents. Or, be like me and completely disregard the nuances of the game, throwing a quick ball and then punching the poor monster until it dies when the capture fails.
Replayability: I know a ton of people will disagree with me on this one, but once I punched my way through the final four I had no desire to continue playing the game. Sure, there’s completing the Pokédex and what have you, but that felt a little too repetitive for me, and I never really got into the whole battle mechanic (see gameplay) so I didn’t need to battle people either.
Would I recommend? I feel like you have to play at least one of these games just to say you did. Although I don’t feel the need to continue playing, I definitely enjoyed wandering around and fighting Pokémon during the story, which is a solid chunk of time for a handheld title.
