Many games try to capture that cool and cute charm of Pokémon, but this has got to be the one that's gotten the closest to that sun. Most battles are two-on-two with yourself and a swappable companion turning into the various beasts they record on their cassette tapes that inhabit the strange island. The game manages to balance the cute and vibrant setting with moments of unnerving oddities. It can be a bit confusing to get your head around the elemental balance of combat, but it's easy enough to overcome with a chart found online. The story isn't anything fancy, but it has enough charm to make the time spent playing an enjoyable one, especially if you are a fan of monster-catching games.
