An OK pokemon game, at least you can trade pokemon with the GBA versions.
Gameplay wise, this could have been a little better. It is a real pain to convert the shadow pokemon to regular pokemon, it takes almost freaking forever! As I said, you can't find any wild pokemon. You can steal pokemon, but only the shadow pokemon, so your choices of pokemon are pretty much fixed. But hey at least you can trade the pokemon you catch in the game after you have beaten it with the GBA games. And the last commit is pretty much one of the few plus sides.
Graphics...they go both ways. The inbattle graphics are excellent. It is really a feast for your eyes to see your pokemon attacking. That is all sweet, but the field graphics are still very bland. The creators could have put more work in those graphics. At least the battles look sweet.
The sound is OK, I guess. Not much to say about it...
The values, I guess I would get the game again just to finish it and trade the pokemon to one of my GBA games. But only if this was more like the GBA pokemon games, this would have been a lot more enjoyable and not so limiting.
