After replaying this my thoughts were "if this came out today on a mobile phone -just like it is- nobody would play this. Maybe for free.. but not if it costs any money". And I still think this is true. The idea is "ok".. you move on a fixed track and take pictures of pokemon. That's all. So if we really be honest to ourselfes.. this is even less gameplay than Pokemon Go.
BUT for 1999 is was fine to the kids we were. But today kids expect more. My Nephew played it and thought it is boring. He wanted to play zelda instead. And I really understood him.
