7.0 Graphics
Great Pokemon animation during the battles, smoothly flowing camera angles, and a wonderful art style...hurt only by some really bad human character models and some undefined textures.
*
7.0 Sound
Great orchestrations during much of the battles and adventuring, but the sound effects of the creatures are a huge step backwards.
*
7.0 Gameplay
The adventure's just a little too linear, but at least the battle's are designed around the excellent two-on-two structure of the GBA versions.
*
9.0 Lasting Appeal
The ability to link, battle and trade with the GBA version is enough to extend this design near indefinitely. Until, of course, the next big Pokemon adventure...

7.5 OVERALL:
(out of 10 / not an average)

OMFG! Everyone run out and grab your copy today! While supplies last! /sarcastic joke

Ok, so really, am I the only one who cares about Pokémon anymore?

[Canyarion]

I care. But not enough to buy it.
So there is some kind of 3D RPG element in this game?

[Dark Samurai]

Yes, yes there is.

[Dyne]

My brother is getting it. It should be fun.

[Blix]

Well, one would think it would've taken more time for them to make a really deep, big, true-to-the-gameboy-games and detailed game like that. The graphics really look like a Dream Cast (maybe first generation) game. But ofcourse, Pokemon's strenghts have never been in the graphics and/or sound but in the gameplay. We'll have to see if the gameplay is good. I'm not a pokemon fan so if I ever buy it it'll be after some months.

Are there any good Gamecube games coming out shortly that I should wait for instead of this?
