This game was extremely fun to play through... for the main story. I'll get into the postgame stuff later, but it was a really cool concept that I wish would get revisited! I loved the character designs and the way that they would evolve alongside their Pokemon, and honestly the entire concept of Pokemon meets Sengoku era Japan was extremely great. The tactical gameplay was pretty neat, too.

...but the postgame was kind of not very good. I'm not sure if you can even play most of it anymore given what happened to DS wifi, so maybe that's for the best. Even so, I wish this was more of a series and less of a one-off.
