Well, It's better than the first, and that is one reason to try this game.
Good:
1. Addictive!
2. You can even capture evolved pokemon in the wild, such as Loudred.
3. Cool minigames! Whether you are fighting Groudon or Kyogre or playing hide and seek with Kecleon.
Bad:
1. Too short! They should've added the Johto pokemon and the original ones to make this game longer.
Apparently it lacks the first couple of pokemon, but no biggie! If you want Pinball with a twist, get this, even if you are a fan of Pokemon or Not.
