Immerse
yourself in the beautiful region of Hoenn, a place of masterful
heroes and mysterious teams, of friendship and battles. As
the new kid in town, you set off on your journey as a Pokémon
Trainer. Who knows what wonders and dangers await you? It's
time to grab your gear and head out on your own...
At
long last, Pokémon
takes a huge jump into the world of Game Boy Advance. For
the first time in a Pokémon
game you can participate in 2-on-2 battles (which means that
you can send out two of your Pokémon
against two of your opponent).
There
are over 200 Pokémon,
of which around 100 are new discovered species which your
friends will want to link up with you to trade. There is also
a new feature which allows you to groom and show of your best
pets in the Pokémon
version of Crufts. These Pokémon
contests allow your pets to win ribbons - another way of showing
off to your classmates in the playground.
On
the minus side, this game is not compatible with other games
in the Pokémon
stable (apart from the new Pokémon
Ruby) so you won't be able to swap those prized Pokémon
with other games.
With another game released this month (the aforementioned
Pokémon
Ruby) parents are going to have to shell out £60
for what is really the same game, but with different Pokémon.
I couldn't help thinking of the South Park episode
Chinpokemon which changed the Pokémon
catchphrase "Gotta catch 'em all!" to "Gotta
buy them all."
Having
said that, this is an incredibly well polished addition to
the Pokémon
range of games.
