Comments: Alright, I'm a sucker for pokemon games. That's why I had to try this one out.

Anyway, the storyline was alright. It was pokemon, what else can I say? It was a typical pokemon style story. You're a ranger, meaning you don't like taking pokemon out of their natural environment. You also don't use pokemon unless you make friends with them and they chose to help you out. Once you help them though, you release them into the wild again. Pretty much an opposite of the trainer.

The gameplay is what killed me. It is, once again, a stylus-based game. I find them difficult to say the least. As you can see with the pictures above, you have to circle around the pokemon you want to catch. Each pokemon has their own number of circles needed before you can make friends with them.

This game was the first one that I have actually had to abandone due to impossible gameplay. Fairly early on in the game you come across some hard pokemon (Flygon and Salamence for me) which are... border impossible? I should think this game is more playable on an actualy DS but not for me.

Comments: Ahhh, Nostalgia. Who doesn't love Pokemon? Seriously, as annoying as it might be to train and collect them all, it really is just a fun game... even if I can't fish for peanuts... It's a bit frustrating when you can't trade and that's the only way to get all the damn pokemon... Still love it though, don't care what people say.

P.S. ... MY SKARMORY KICKS YOUR ONES BUTT!... No really, it's won the Master "Cool" Contest... I'm so proud of it.
