Gotta catch this new Pokemon Game!!!

We have all the previous Pokemon games from yellow, red, and blue to Silver, Gold and Crystal. This one beats them all. The graphics are great. Old battle moves have updated and very effective visuals. The challenge of battling two Pokemon at a time is a new thrill that sells the game just by itself. There are many new Pokemon that according to the 7 year old "are really cool". They look fierce and ready for battle.

The item bag holds more things. Another new element are many berries that are used for a Pokeblock to attract and aid Pokemon.

Enemies are still present with different names. Rivals too are willing to battle.

A great feature that we love is that by using the 'b' button your player can run. In previous Pokemon games the player would only walk unless he/she rode a bike which was at times hard to maneuver due to its speed. With the running option, going to the Pokebag to locate the bike is eliminated and the speed is very manageable. The bike is still an option in the game. If fact, there are times it is necessary to be on the bike. Another great feature is that there are two choices of bikes and one can change to the other bike any time.

I would say that if you love Pokemon, this is definitely worth it. We found prices as low as $24 and as high as $35, so shop around.
