With the success of the prequels, gamers imagined minor changes and more Pokemon, but never did they expect the sheer caliber of awesomeness that was unleashed upon gamers everywhere - you needed a link cable and a kid walking down the road for a battle and it was always a rush and still is, especially playing with your Pokemon in Stadium 2 against the CPU or your friends, the popularity of this is still great and even now people still look for copies. If your one of those new gen. gamers who started with the NDS, boy did you miss out!
