Pokemon is the game that made catch them all games popular and with simple concept and innovation it is obvious why after a decade it is still the king of the genre. While most games of the genre rely purely on second rate imitation to sale units. Pokemon games are almost always innovative and well thought out. From integration with consoles to pun creature names to creating spin off games with interesting mechanics (i.e. Snap and Puzzle League). Pokemon has proven that a kitschy gimmick does not mean a crappy game.
This installment of the game is a logical evolution of the series. Basic game mechanics remain intact but are joined by addition of features such as graphic enhancements, wifi features, touchscreen UI implementation, and the return of the real-time clock. Those who do not like Pokemon probably will not like this version either. At its core it is the same game just more polished and fleshed out. That is not a bad thing however because Pokemon has always offered solid if not simplistic gameplay that demonstrates what mobile gaming is about.
