This is one of the loosest definitions of "video game" they've ever created--this is basically like asking "how much do you enjoy extra boxes in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl as a video game?" And the answer, dear reader, is... Suuuuure??? They added a few side-distractions to this, at least, so it's not a TOTAL wash, but like. It really is JUST a storage unit at the end of the day.

We will say? We like the graphics, if nothing else. The weird low-poly models pilfered from the Rumble games, and the fact there's official artwork of a Mii in the Pokemon art style is really funny to us. The addition of a thing where you're basically asked "hey, can you get me this specific Pokemon?" is nice, and those weird event cutscenes are delightfully strange. Also, the fact this thing--of all things--was for the longest time, the one, the only, official, non-event related, 24/7 available, source of a Mew, is just HILARIOUS to us. But, well, at the end of the day, you're probably just here to store your Gen 4 Pokemon. ;P

...and we're still a little mad that the update that adds stuff from Pokemon Platinum was only ever released in Japan.
