Pokemon fans and newcomers will love this ddition to the Pokemon series.
Audio-The music in this game is very catchy. It's with synth, but at least they actually sound like the instrument. The sound effects are good as well. Music is proably the best thing that I like in Pokemon games nowadays. The Pokemon cries are ok
Graphics- They are ok for its time. The sprites look a bit more detailed than Golden Sun's. In battle, the animated characters are cool and detailed. I like how Spinda always have different spots. However, I hate that trainers look exactly alike. The little things are cool too:footsteps in sand and ripples in water.
Value-To beat the game itself is easy, but that's only 1/4 of the game. To catch every single Pokemon will take hours and a friend who has the other version. There is also a ballte tower, but it seems tacked on.
Tilt (Story)- This is the reason why I don't like Pokemon games. The story is the same as it was in Blue: beat all 8 gym leaders, beat the Elite 4, and stop whatever Team is trying to harm Pokemon. They try to get deeper into Team Magma and Aqua, but it could have been a lot deeper.
