A sad attempt at cashing in on the commercial success of pokemon
In the same mold as most of the other trash around the DS launch, appaerntly the developers were so excited about the possiblity of touch screen controls, that they based almost all the gameplay off of basic, mundane, stylus movements. There is hardly anything more to say. There are a few different pokemon to play as, but it makes no difference who you are, and some broken race ideas. Overall, the gameplay is all boring stylus thrusts that will not keep you very interested
Graphics: 5/10
Although it would be pushing it, I think Pokemon Dash was probably graphically possible on the GBA, which is really a surprise considering I would think people would want to make the most of the new handheld power, but I suppose this game wasn't very ambitiuos, and the graphics are solid evidence to that case. A poor showing in the visual area.
Sound: 5/10
Once again, boring, attainable on a previous platform, and uninteresting. Hardly a surprise for one of the worst spinoff pokemon games available.
Value: 3/10
To be completely honest, I was done with this game pretty quickly. And I am convinced I have seen all it has to offer. Although the premise for the game didn't have much potential, it could done more to hook me in for more than a half hour.
Reviewing tilt: 6/10
I really wanted to glean some entertainment from this game, but it was too hard. The only reason I have even played is because my pokemon-obsessed brother wanted and got it. My parents wasting 30 bucks on this game really makes me hurt, and I hope I can convince anyone to not waste their time and money on this poor attempt, no matter how much you love pokemon.
