The first actual Pokemon 3D adventure. Was this game worth it?

Pokemon Colosseum wasn't what I thought it would be. I thought it would be like a third Pokemon Stadium but I was actually impressed that it was an adventure similar to the handheld titles. I take it back. It wasn't Pokemon XD nor LeafGreen that brought me back to playing Pokemon. It was THIS game. (it's my brother's game but it's lost somewhere...) I guess it all started with me asking my brother questions about the Hoenn region Pokemon like, who is this, what is it's weakness, things like that. Then I was playing the Mt. Battle for my brother and I guess that's how I got back into playing Pokemon again. Yeah, I guess I was missing out on a lot and my brother and cousin say "man, why you stop playing Pokemon? you used to be better than us." I guess I got back into playing them because I was really helping my brother out in some battles with Cipher Peons and in that city where the battle ring is. Things like "Don't hit this with this, man. Use this on this. It'll be effective." You play as this boy from a region called Oore and he's a thief who snags shadow Pokemon and you're supposed to purify them. You meet this girl later on and she identifies the dark aura on the shadow Pokemon and she follows you everywhere and helps you out when you need it. I think this game did really good with this 3D adventure even though it DOES look like a 3D version of the handheld titles but overall, this is a really fun game to play and it's what you would expect a Pokemon game to be.
