If you love interacting with pokemon and minigames then you wont be disapointed this game exceeds better than the others
Pokemon channel came out for GC with more fun things to do but the lack of an environment and now This game combines the great aspects of both
Unlike the others this game lets you control pikachu in a huge environment filled with interactable pokemon and such(and by interactable i mean you can just run past them and push them in the process)
You can use moves such as quick attack and thunderbolt and have challenges offered by other pokemon in order to advance such as, hide and seek, Battle and tag. The environment is huge with different places to explore and MANY pokemon to meet.
the main attractions as in Minigames are really fun and have a whole cast of pokemon ready to choose for that minigame. If you love to have fun then you wont be dissapointed. The only flaw is that there isnt multiplayer so its basically for singleplayer but otherwise fun.
Its a good game if you would like to explore more into the world of pokemon rather than just RPG. In My rating I give it a 8.5 for being a great game with little flaws
