fantastic remake of an incredibly interesting and enjoyable game where every chapter offers something new, you can really feel why the original was influential in japan and niche jrpg circles
even though it struggles to run well and sometimes even just look okay, this is still one of the greatest pokemon games ever made for how fun the gameplay is and how good the character writing is
a bit more polished and just about as fun as the first game, a bit easier which I don't actually mind, and copen is pretty cool to play as but I still can't pay attention to the story
although the battle system takes a lot of getting used to, this is a really fun game with a genuinely good story and excellent music, and the use of origami is pretty creative too
what would be a genuinely decent sonic game is let down quite a bit by motion controls that feel awful to use, and the auto-run gameplay does it no favours either, but it has a bunch of cool ideas and really good music
