This installment of pokemon was overall a success. With new pokemon and a new map, along with new experiences!
But anyway, this game has better graphics, enhanced type combos, and some cool looking pokemon. Eventually you can explore Sinnoh and see types that have been the past series as well. an added bonus.
The trading experience is also enhanced. With the ability to trade with anybody around the world, definently a good idea! I liked Wi-Fi, especially for this installment.
Overall, this game had few flaws, besides the easiness of the game. It took me a mere 11 hours to beat this game. It may sound like a while, but a true gamer knows that is nothing in gamer terms.
Of course the originals will always be the best in our minds because we are younger and didn't know what it was before, so it didn't suprise us when it came out, besides the touch screen capability, which was as to be expected for the DS.
I loved it, it was one of my favorites, and I hope Platinum gets a chance to show up it's older brother!
