Well, to be honest Custom Robo had way, way, way too much dialogue to be in a game. It's all mindless chatter and you find yourself smashing the buttons to get past it. The very first time I played it it was interesting with all the background info, but after beating it...well it was a waste of time. The gameplay though is great, with plenty of battles to keep you occupied. It's sort of a beat 'em up with a tiny bit of customization. In the beginning you are left with only a single robo to fight with, but around 65% through the game you can buy new ones. The customization is a bit disappointing because you try the other parts and they suck, except for a small few that you stick to because they deal better damage and quickly.
While in Pokemon (I have Diamond), it's pretty repetative except for some plot twists (but hey, that's in every pokemon game!). There are more to catch, more to learn about, evolve, and use. The Wi-fi is fun because that's when you test your skills against people all over the place. In this game it felt more like an adventure than the other games and that felt great. If you liked Gold or Silver, you'd love this, but if you didnt like them too much it would just sit around without being played. Like any other RPG you have to level your Pokemon alot and that uses up alot of your time (is that a good thing or a bad thing?). The replay value is great once you ease your way back into it, but that's the same as Custom Robo.
Either way if you want a content filled RPG/Adventure or a simple and Intriguing Beat 'em up, the choice is yours. For me though I think Pokemon would be a better deal, but that's just my opinion :)
