There is a lot to say about Pokemon. Me, myself and I, we all three enjoy playing this game. The reason is simple. the game has it's challenges like any other Pokemon game, and it is something i can mindlesly play whil i am away on long trips. Yet, this one i have not played (a readable version) at this time. so why review it?
Well, there are a few immediate consequences to this new addition to the Pokemon world. So far, I admire the way that they have been able to maintain the separate games as they came. And the other part is that this game is so much more enjoyable to use in groups for both trading and fighting and more important get the pokemons across from one game to another. So How to place this one? Well, i got lucky there as i was able to get a view of it all on the plane from Singapore. My only problem. i cannot read Japanese.
It seems nothing more then aRuby/Saphire instalment. the game started in the same way, and i got the same options. The difference is the RayQuaza front. This is part of the dilemma i got, because i got that one in Both Ruby and Saphire, so there seems to be no reason to get this game IF you already have Ruby or Sapphire. I am certain that this game will have differences, however it might not be visible at first (i probably didn't get far enough), and that might stop some from buying this game in the beginning.
This is not to tell you not to buy it, or to buy it. There is another reason for telling you all this. With the coming of the DS, many decided to trade in their GBA and get the DS instead. Here lies the problem. the entire wired and wireless parts of this game will not work with any of the Pokemon games, and the DS cannot connect to the GC so the Colosseum pokemons are also a non-show.
This makes this game installment an issue. After ruby/saphire came leafgreen and firered and these have completely different plots, and an amazing amount of Pokemons to catch. So it makes me wonder whether the people behind this aren't just trying to Cash in on a game.
So for those with a DS beware. You other players must realize that there is a choice to make. I myself was .... 'clever' enough to keep my GBA, so i am 'safe'. There is still the issue of why should i get a sixth one, as this one seems to be a repetition of Ruby and Saphire. Just to complete it? It is a reason to consider.
