This game is basically an excuse for you to see your Pokemon fight in 3D. That's all you can do. There are no mini-games like in the Pokemon Stadium games, and there CERTAINLY isn't any story mode for you to play, like Pokemon Colosseum and XD for the Gamecube. Just battling Pokemon on the big screen. It just gets repetitive after a while, and for the lack of features in this game, it's just not worth the price. Maybe if the game was [...], but not for its current price.

Oh, and if you don't have a Pokemon game for the DS(Diamond, Peral, Platinum), then you're pretty much screwed.

Pokemon has been a staple in video gaming now for more than a decade. I just recently got into it and was hooked from the first one on. I got swept up and just well... had to catch them all. The only way to catch certain pokemon was to play through this game and Pokemon XD. Was it worth it? Yes and no. The actual gameplay is kinda mediocre as is the plot and dialogue, although it's neat to see your pokemon rendered in 3D performing their attacks. Also, the prize for doing everything in this game that can be done is the acquisition of your very own HO-OH (a rare and powerful pokemon that you can't get through normal gamplay). It was okay, but I wouldn't play it again.

Would I recommend this? If you want to get every pokemon then yes. However with HeartGold and SoulSilver coming next year with all of the Johto Region pokemon (HO-OH and Lugia also) the recommendation is harder to make. It's also not the easiest thing. This game makes you earn it.
