This game is a good introduction for the Wii and online gaming. It's simple and to the point. I had bought this game for my kids who are both Pokemaniacs but found myself drawn to the game and began playing and battling with Pokemon from around the world. The game offers some very good graphics for the Pokemon series and assists trainers in learning new tricks and strategies as they learn from other players. The game has good sound during the battles, but I was disappointed that the "hostess" to Poketopia is voiceless. I think they could have used some of the other voice talent from the TV series to assist in giving the game more life, rather than using scrolling text. I was also hoping for some more of the RPG element to the game considering the amount of data that can be stored on a DVD, I don't feel the game lives up to it's maximum potential. Granted there are good graphics and sound and online play capabilities, but these should not be the only elements in a game.
The game does offer some goodies which can be downloaded to the DS versions of Pokemon from the Shopping area in the game and the Characters can be customized, but only if you download your personal attributes from the DS game. Otherwise you're stuck using a "Rental Pass". So realistically, this is an expansion for the DS versions, and as a standalone game, gamers may end up frustrated.
