The conceit of this game is really smart. A game that teaches you how to draw by getting you to illustrate increasingly complex pokemon tcg cards. As a person intimidated by the idea of learning how to draw, this game does a pretty nice job of slowly introducing techniques without overwhelming you. My favorite aspect of this game is your "rival" who's drawings are in the game to make you feel better about your own.

The only thing that ultimately got me to put this down was the limiting technology of the 3ds. At the time of its release, I'm sure it inspired many budding artists, but working on ~4 in. screen with a pretty low resolution and a tiny stylus became taxing at a certain point.
