Hey You, Pikachu!

"Pretty lame if you ask me..."

OK, pokemon fans get ready for another bummer! This one is made for little ones so don't expect much.

Graphics 3/10: Whoa, whats up with the sucky graphics?! Some are ok but to much over use of 2D graphics and they are kinda blocky too. Way too bad for this time and age.

Sound 6/10: Uhhh, the music bites majorly; kinda like the music on the gb version but just more annoying. The sound however is pretty good for voice overs...not too good though. Bulbasaur sounds like a he-man.

Gameplay 5/10: Since its made for little kids it gets a bad rating. Its very unresponsive if you ask me. Pikachu doesnt always come when you want him to. You speak into the microphone and it has a little bubble and the bubble goes to pikachu and if you said something it doesnt understand it will have a ? and if it did understand you it SHOULD do what you want it to. Anyhow the gameplay is very boring, but the fishing is fun at first but gets even older. There is also a thing where you can see what all the items do. When two lighting things pop up and say pikachu between them then pikachu wants to talk to you so you just talk to him/her. It gets annoying also how you wake up and tell your mom your going to play with pikachu because it gets really old after a while. Well if the gameplay isnt good in this game then dont even get it because if everything else is bad, the only thing to make it good is its gameplay and this gameplay is terrible.

Control 10/10: What? What control? There is hardly any except going through menus reading things. Thats the only reason its at a 10 is because thats the only control there is.

Buy or Rent: Definatly rent if your not sure. The game isnt worth $80 and I wouldn't even rent it, save your 5 bucks. Oh, and if your 9 and older don't rent this please!! For you own sake and don't even buy it unless you have to have everything pokemon, please!

Replay 1/10: Just the same thing over and over no need to replay(unless you love being bored to death, and dont you think your parents will wonder why your talking to the controller?!).

Overall 2/10: The only thing ''fun'' is the fishing but the rest is just fustrating...
