What a duo of games man. Pokemon will never have a Gen like this again. Part 1 was the pinnacle of Pokemon story and this is the pinnacle of gameplay. This is the most fun I’ve had playing a Pokemon game. Battling just feels so seamless and good here. Rotation battles and Triple battles suck (there’s a reason they’ve never come back…I think), but double and single battles are great! The story here, however, is a major drawback. Nothing really happens. Plasma is back…but not doing much of anything. N is back…for 5 minutes. The return of your rivals from Part 1 is cool but that’s all I really liked. I liked your rival’s design but god he was annoying. The story isn’t like bad tho it’s just pokemon. And the gameplay is fun enough to where I don’t care.
can't get past the first 5 minutes i keep googling can you fuck pikachu in this one
Truly one of the greatest Pokemon experiences ever, and a strong contender for the best DS game ever made. However, I highly suggest that you DO NOT play this is as your first Pokemon game. Play other regions and then BW, it'll make this game a lot better
Also overrated imo
The peak of the Pokémon series in terms of visuals and content. Further games made improvements QOL wise, but something was lost with the passage to 3D, and never had one of their games been so full of things to do.
