man, y'all suck, this game is kinda gas. sure, it's wonky as hell and has really weird presentation with an artstyle straight out of a car insurance commercial, but the gameplay is fun and it definitely has the soulful weirdness that pokemon spinoffs used to have. it's definitely barebones and is not worth whatever they charged for DS games in 2005, but for a game you can probably get off ebay for like 10 bucks it's a funky little puzzle game.
