  • To be honest, I saw this game yesterday and thought it looked pretty fun. Decided on-the-spot to buy it. Brought a buddy over today and we played it in co-op. Despite its simplicity, it's actually really fun. Yea, I guess it's repetitive, but I'm used to playing 100+ hour RPGs which require days of grinding, so replaying several levels to catch the Pokemon we wanted was more-than-enjoyable.

  • OK let me explain this to everyone because for whatever reason no one seems to get this, even the people saying that thisgame is the best thing ever. This is and always will be a pick up and play game, it isn't meant to be something that you play for hours on end like other games. You sit down play for a few minuets and go do something else that is how you get the best enjoyment factor out of this game. If I had to give it a score I'd say a 7.0, it's a great time waister but not a hardcore game.

  • Strange how the framerate seems smoother on this game than on Pokemon Rumble Blast

  • Gay

  • It can earn moves

  • aint nobody buyin that sony bullshit. let me see the damn video!

  • @TheDanOwls i see no thumbs up!

  • looked at this game today on the eshop and i thought it looked really good now i look at this it looks shit lol

  • How does this get a six? I mean, after you literally only said bad things about it. IGN, your rating system is flawed, or if it isn't that, your reviewers are too afraid to give low ratings, even when completely justified. I'm currently reviewing this game on the 3DS and holy crap it is one of the most boring experiences I've EVER had. It's getting less than a 3/10, some plus for its charm, but charm can only get you so far.

  • @TheInfernoGame i checked your channel and thank god you havent made the video yet, if you were to give this game a 3/10 the video would just get tons of hate and tons of dislikes, im not trying to make this comment look like hate im just giving you a heads up, this is a fun game ign described it pretty well, this game does deserve a 6 or a 7..(my opion)but everyone has there own opions and i respect that but well some haters dont....i dont mind your rating but some haters do

  • @PokeTrainerDragonBoy I don't make video reviews, I write for a magazine and the website that goes with it. Got lots of comments, and out of all those only one complained. As you said though, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but one can't deny that the game is pretty flawed. That doesn't mean one can't enjoy it, but I think we can both agree that it wasn't the game for me :P I do enjoy Pokemon games in general though.

  • @TheInfernoGame good cause there way more trolls on youtube :P

  • ...im sure he is showing wii footage...

  • You can't spell ignorant without IGN.

  • I personally liked the game but agree that it got repetitive at points. It's sequel, Pokemon Rumble Blast, is so much better. It includes a story line, new battle modes, and all 5 gens instead of just 1 and 4. Also it has more then just 6 levels. It has 11 or 12 if i remember correctly. Such a huge improvement from an otherwise enjoyable game

  • Damn. I was hoping for something like real time fighting Mystery Dungeon.

  • Did he say you can play it on the wii?

  • @mingrat This is the first one and it is for WiiWare. Super Pokemon Rumble is the newest.

  • bull shit 6.0 ? i have pokemon rumble its awesome at least give it 10.00

  • @deltacruiser10000 i do very much agree and people why listen to 1 man?...

  • they need to get back to the turn based strategy elements of pokemon and stop messing around with this bullshit. Wii + Pokemon should be awesome. Instead it sucks so far.

  • this game is underated

  • i thought ths game was as good as the main series bu i was deffnrtly wrong

  • in summary..

    it sucks

  • I loved this game.

  • Wiiware games suck

  • eh, idk about all of that, you can learn a lot more new moves from a machine in the main lobby and you CAN evolve by using passwords or a technique where you have to dump 5 of the same pokemon to get it's evolved form, and the levels change as you rank up, it can be foggy, rainy, sunny etc. and theres a wide variety of different pokemon you can use from the "national pokedex", i HATE all the other games on the pokemon series but this is actually a game i'd want to get :) (it's not that bad IGN!)

  • @mechanoid11 Agreed i just got it and theres nothing bad about it at all its very fun :)

  • @mechanoid11 Hang on, you like this but you hate every single other Pokemon game?

  • Depth and customization? Pokemon still follow the simple formula since day one.

  • celebi and lugia wer left out !!!!!!!!!!!! fuck them

  • I didn't like it very much, either. It's not a bad game, just ridiculously overpriced. I'm astonished that anyone would charge $15 for this.

  • pokemon rumble blast is going to be better when it comes out

  • The character models aren't bad, they're economical. Techie jackass.

  • You have No Sense of Awesomeness IGN

  • Fuck you IGN

  • bad review...

  • my cousin love this game

  • me wants old pokemon !

  • @CosmicBlack3DS Yeah, it only looks better, I watched many other trailers and thought that looks really better then the version before. Well at some games you will then disapointed. So, I would rate a game by the look..

  • @CosmicBlack3DS There isn´t a 3DS version yet. >_>

  • @stayles1990 there is gonna be.

  • this is one of my favorite games

    

  • I like this game?

  • Man I regret deleting that demo! It had pretty much everything of the full game.

  • this looks awesome. If your not a Pokemn fan don't play it. You're just gunna complain

  • They need to let Pokemon Evolve and get stronger in this version.

  • this is so easy

  • @TheLatios99 Not in EX mode, :/

  • @sonic26000 lol

  • @sonic26000 , that's definitely true. D:

  • Is it just me or is this game underrated?

  • Comment removed

  • @MacFlash2 It's not just you. I LOVE this game. It's much different than other Pokemon games, and everyone should try it out. It's a little repetitive, but meh, it's still really nice.

    I'm really excited for the 3DS game! :)

  • Played the demo. Played a linear mission, got stale after the first few minutes. Battle Royale is really fun, though.

    For $15, this seems like an okay game.

  • this game actually gets a bit harder near the end, and if you try to use low level pokemon in the battle royale its pretty challenging

  • its easy cause your using kickass pokemon on the sissy first levels

  • This reviewer sucks. There is plenty of fun to be had,especially with others.

  • @TheInstinctsWithin IGN= Ignorent

  • This is one of my favorites to play with my older sister. It's a ton of fun!

  • bad review >.>

  • but isnt beat em ups supposed to be repetitive? oh like god of war!!! But to everyone thats fun!

  • @SirBumRush At least God of War had depth & challenge, and had some sense of variety.

  • If they culd evolve, lvl up, earn new attacks and stuff and not be toys, that would be a great game!

  • @Drewid96 thye can evolve and lvl up they can also learn new attacks

  • @TheLatios99 they cant lvl up

  • @achappy713 =(

  • @Drewid96 If you want evolving,leveling up,and for the Pokemon to not be toys,then just get the regular Pokemon RPG games. >.> This game should NOT try to be like the mainstream Pokemon games as it has its own unique style and charm.

  • @TheInstinctsWithin Quite true

  • @Drewid96 it is a great game

  • @dokidoku26 It's great but it culd be better, although I've never played it... I just hope they make a new rpg pokemon game like sequel to b/w, a new mystery dungeon and a new ranger all for the 3ds

  • @Drewid96 Those would help, but the main thing that needs to be mixed, IMO, is the battle system, itself.

  • @Drewid96 Personally, I just think that the game needs more content. For $15, you're not really getting much.

  • @catholicgamer99 OH! It's only 15?!? Thank GOD! I thought it was 40!

  • @Drewid96 Well, it's a WiiWare game, so it can't possibly cost more than $15. IMO, it should only be $5, or maybe $8.

  • @Drewid96 If the enemies were harder, then yes.

  • @Drewid96 luckily now, they can evolve and you can learn new attacks and their passwords on sites for rare pokemon and a wide variety of different attacks and techniques :)

  • @mechanoid11 Well thats good!

  • Man this going to be the next Pokemon game for 3ds. I can't believe it.

  • @27Taichi27

    I was going to download it for WII but since it is going to be released in 3DS plush 5th generation im going to buy it for 3DS

  • @27Taichi27 Are you serious?

  • @27Taichi27 Do you mean a full retail game, or a downloadable title?

  • @27Taichi27 i think the sequel fixed a lot of the originals problems. i took a look at it and it seems really fun and with way more content and environments- but well see what ign says in october when it hits NA.

  • i really love this game, i am an addict :)

  • This is really bad they can evolve

  • Why are the Pokemon spin-offs always bad.

  • @Ironbat92 Pokemon Rumble is bad... it's IGN dude. They don't know what they're talking about....

  • @PloPail nah, They were actually nice to the game. It's just button mashing game that's the same thing for like 6 hours and it's boring and tedious. I say if you have kids, they'll like it.

  • @PloPail with how much IGN loves Pokemon (the first 5 games got perfect 10s) I think they are qualified to review this.

  • @Ironbat92 not all of them. Pokemon puzzle League and Pokemon Snap are actually 2 of the highest reviewed games in the series.

  • if only you could evolve and use your trainer to interact with other random players to rumble head to head, then that would be a game worth looking at to me

  • +play as a pokemon

    .......what?

  • @gamer4lyfe1985 They mean you can control your pokemon rather than turn based strategy .

  • one of the few ign reviews i agree, it SUCKS, lots of pokemon are missing,the stages are REALLY repetitive,and its just a total button masher, im sorry,just not worth your 15$

  • Sounded and looks like something lower than a 6 rating.

  • I love the core pokemon games! They are all amazing!. But this just sucks. GET OVER IT YOU RIDICULOUS DRAMA QUEENS. The only good spin offs existed in the Nintendo 64 days.

  • WTF IGN! Yall were good at reviewing games then ALL OF A SUDDEN! Yall are Reviewing badly. I mean, Like sonic, yall Try to die and All mario games get 9.0 or higher... WTF. Its the same shit as The first Super mario. IGN... at least they are trying a Diffrent idea then the same mario shit. IGN... Yall need to grow up for once...

  • @TheRealsamsam5 Because the people who design Sonic do a poor job technically. I love Sonic but the last game I've played (Shadow the Hedgehog) was almost unplayable. It was buggy as hell and the guns, for something that this game revolves around, are pretty much useless. Mario, while I don't care much for him anymore either, their designers actually take the time to design a game properly.

  • @MasterExploder61 Well... I have too agree with you.

  • Screw you IGN. You guys really do suck.

  • fUCK YOU THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST SPIN-OFFS i'VE EVER PLAYED!

  • Well what the fuck did you spected for fucking Wiiware game man? It's not like this game is the real deal.

  • I also play videogames you fucking drama queen, I dont have anithing against you.

  • @iamknownasDavid Nope, but he DOES sound kind of like him. But no.

  • BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • uh oh its that voice from that pmd2 reveiw... he gave it a 6.0, it diserves a little more..

  • I just looked and it is not a demo -:(

  • this game is really nice,so i have to say that the rating system of wiiware games should NOT be the same as actual full games. this is only meant a to pass time game that you play every now and again. repeating it 6 times over is completely ok if you dont play it all in the same day.

  • pokemon is for nerds GO GRAB A SKATEBOARD YOU NERDS!!

  • @soycool123 skateboard isnt all that great

  • @soycool123 Is the same kid that is on youtube videos only to insult calling me nerd!?

    Bro ou are a dumbass I skate and I play videogames and Im nowhere a nerd

    Plus you are obviusly a kid who thinks is cool only cuz he skate! GROW UP DUMBASS!!!

    VIDEOGAMES ARE FOR EVERYONE AND PLAYING THEM DOESNT MEAN YOU ARE A NERD!!!

    But saying that play games is for nerd is being an arrogant and an ignorant person!

    Grow up! get some good education!!! and bogger off stupid kid!!!

  • Cmon guys it's a pretty descent game and enjoyable.

  • this game looks like shit

  • is this wii

  • @Mrmichael12331 yes its a wiiware game

  • Woha, a 25 sek commercial for a youtube clip?

  • I wont be able to play this game anytime soon, but I am working on a 2D pokemon game similar to this for PC and wii(other consoles to via homebrew). Would anyone here be interested in trying it out the demo when I release it? It will have better pokemon, moves, and more importantly, better music.

    x)

  • I liked Pokemon Rumble, but it should have been a more traditional style beatemup. Like River City Ransom, or Castle Crashers.

    The dungeon- crawler bit of it is already one-upped by Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

  • Was I the only person who actually enjoyed this game?

  • @Weston404 no

  • pokemon are as deformed as they can be, i barely recognized some of them.

  • shut ign id love to see u make a better game o right ya cant cuz its to hard.

  • @TheKillerbiscut cause their not a game maker company....

  • @xCoolzxX thats my point its to hard 4 them cuz there not a game making company.

  • how many mb/blocks takes the game when downloaded?

  • Eeasy? EASY?!?! Give me a break! You must have judged the game by its cover and stopped playing it BEFORE you even got to the final boss on Advanced mode! That took me, like, 2 hours to beat! And I even had an Empoleon with Protect, a Garchomp with Earthquake, and a MEW with Silver Wind! (And believe me, that's kick*** once you raise its stats.) And Pokemongod777 is right; EX is near impossible unless you train a lot and/or enter codes. This guy didn't like anything but multiplayer....:(

  • These guys have obviously not played EX mode, EX is hard as hell

  • pokemaniacs? haha lol

  • Cool!

  • i cant find the demo

  • @fucctheworld09 the demo was removed December 31st 2009 the release year

  • @Pokemongod777 oh i did not know

  • They should have made it with normal pokémon that look like they do in the games and the shows. They also should have made them able to level up and evolve. They should have made it alot like the handheld games but when you go into a battle have a kind of fire emblem thing where the fighting people go to a seperate thing for the battle. I wish I worked on pokémon games, I could make them actually fun again. :(

  • @blueeyesaf Again? They were always fun for me, so stop writing trash, really. Don't change mah pokemon.

  • @Stiefelflash They are okay, if I were playing one of the more recent pokemon games for the first time and its the first game then it would be good but they are basically doing to same thing over and over again in each new game but adding on one shtick and new pokemon (that are basically the same now btw, they are running out of ideas) and tricking people continue to reinvest in this dying franchise. Pokemon could be great again, but they need to put some actually work into them.

  • OH SHIT!

    It's the same kid who Reviewed Pokemon MD: Explorers of Sky.

    -.-

  • was that walking steak and swimming tofu fighting? O_O

  • Trolololol although black ops is too good for words, but this game is a nice break from th e MP-74 OVERuSE. or ump-74.

  • asshole

  • @markitos2828 stfu If you dont like ign reviews then don't watch them don't go trolling on these guys

    Youre pretty sad this is what you do:you go to a ign video then comment assh*le and you're on to the next!

    GET A LIFE i bet you can't make a review as proffesional as these videos.

  • I played the demo like 4 or 5 times through, and it was really fun. it's basically Pokemon Mystery Dungeon but in full 3D. The only reason I would buy the full game is so I could save my data, otherwise the full game doesn't look much worth it.

  • J.K. Rowling, I was fine when you said that Harry's parents were dead. Fine, when you killed Sirius. Okay, when you killed Hedwig and Mad-Eye. A little mad when you killed Dumbledore. BUT YOU CROSSED THE LINE BY KILLING DOBBY!!!!!!!!!!

  • This game rules. This review doesn't.

  • this guy sounds like he smokes five acks a day, thumbs up of you agree or hate this review

  • it is kinda fun I guess. me and my brother has been playing this for hours. I like it, there are strategies, but you rather hit the enemies. what I don't like it is that the game is sort-of anti-friendship. I mean if you have a pokemon and you spent so much time with it to make it the best, 10 mins in the game an even stronger pokemon in evey aspect appears and your faved just gets weaker and weaker as the game progress, so are you just gonna keep it or throw it away for some cash.

  • the review forgot to mention something. this game is wicked fun high. only 2 buttons to push. thats fucking incredible. repetition will go right over your head.  the truth is the game is stellar baked. however this is pretty much a one time thing, since the game is so short lived.

  • face it nintendo can't make good games anymore

  • @TheCap319 your right, mario galaxy 2, new super mario bros, donkey kong country returns, and twilight princess are such horrible games compared to call of duty 3 and halo reach. Douche-bag.

  • @MajorasPianos wow hostile much, you actually think this is fun, mario galaxy 2 is a horrible game, new super mario bros is just a port from the ds, donkey kong is just a remake, twilight princess is a port from the gamecube. comparing those to call of duty 3 and Reach is a really bad move. those are 2 of some of the greatest games out their, id like to see nintendo make a better game then something like split-second or Black Ops

  • @TheCap319 The wii twilight princess is not a port it's the same game. They came out at the same time

  • @allexallex4 thats called a port, when a game on a last gen console is made for a next gen console its called a port

  • @TheCap319 agreed but it wasent on the gamecube first so it wasent ported from the gamecube

  • @allexallex4 well that was a dumb idea, why would they do a backwards port

  • @TheCap319 They already have. Multiple times. Games like kirby, mario, and zelda are classics. I'm sure some one with an IQ of 75 would enjoy mindless shooting for hours, and then claim that Nintendo doesn't make good games. I'm not saying games like Black Ops and Reach are bad. I really love them. I've played both. You are most likely an insecure male who feels the need to show his manliness by talking down about nintendo, and then posting it on a ninendo vid.

  • @MajorasPianos 1. its not mindless shooting, it actually has a story

    2. i never claimed i was "manly", i just don't like the more recent nintendo games

    3. im still confused, why would they do a backwards port

    4. why so hostile, did i say anything bad about you? no, i stated my opinion that is all. its nothing to get so immature about, i never said you were a little kid or you're gay or anything like that, yet you choose to claim i have an IQ of 75 and am insecure.

  • @TheCap319 Uh-huh. So you HAD to post it on a Nintendo video?

    Just because of that fact, I'm assuming you ARE immature and felt the need to troll about nintendo.

  • @MajorasPianos if i was trolling i would say something like "anyone who plays nintendo games are gay" did i say that? no, i don't recall.

    infact you're the one whos being the troll, i stated my opinion and you said im an insecure male with an IQ of 75, thats trolling.

    not once in this entire conversation have i once said something insulting other than "nintendo can't make good games anymore" which is MY OPINION, i never trolled about nintendo so stop trying to insult me

  • @TheCap319 you guys are extremly stupid people

  • @blindingspeedhunter how am i stupid, for stating my opinion?

  • @TheCap319 you are simply stupid because you are arguing over idiotic things like little babies

  • @blindingspeedhunter hey, ive got nothing better to do, and i think its hilarious to see how people react just for disagreeing with them.

    look at PSORules comment below this one and try to tell me thats not funny

  • @MajorasPianos have u even played them so if i were u i wouldent be talking.

  • @TheCap319 Cant make good games anymore? WHAT THE HELL. new super mario bros. was better than the ds version, dk country is amazing, super mario galaxy is fun as hell. COD SUCKS MONKEY DICK COMPARED TO NINTENDO And Halo is fun, but is still not compared to REAL video games, your fucking shoot em' up games WOULDN'T FUCKING EXIST WITHOUT NINTENDO

  • @PSORules ahh the nintendo fanboy, one of the least dangerous wild animals out there. they may seem threatening at first with all of their cuss words and bashing on anything not touched by their master nintendo, but don't worry all you have to say is "COD is fun" and they will go into a frenzy of cuss words and cry themselves to sleep because they refuse to accept the fact that their console sucks.

    COD is one of the most original best selling games on the market, mario in space... not that fun.

  • @TheCap319 are you a dumbass or something? I PLAY HALO! i just think that nintendo makes better, more colorful, and more fun games to play. i dont like COD cause it sucks ass, and how is a war game original? a few aspects may be different than other war games, but its essentially just another war game.

  • @PSORules dude, i bet you havn't even played a COD game, it actually has a story and adds way more to the actual gameplay then games like Medal of Honor and anything made by the history channel

  • @TheCap319 i have owned both world at war, and modern warfare 2, and played black ops. none were very fun to me because all i ever did was run and shoot. COD does the best job of mixing it up, but your limited to what can happen in reality. Video games aren't supposed to be realistic. if i wanted to shoot a bunch of people with an M16, i would join the army. but i can't morph into Mario and beat the shit out of Link, or go on a quest to save the land of Hyrule from Gannon.

  • @PSORules so let me get this straight, instead of starting a prison riot in a soviet P.O.W camp, crawling through vietnamese rat tunnels, and jumping from roof to roof of sky scrapers, you would rather save a dumb princess from a turtle that breaths fire.

  • @ichigo11234 oh ok i must hate video games then cause i actually like playing a good FPS instead of "save the princess, save the princess, save the princess"

  • @TheCap319 "good", "FPS" you can only choose one

  • @ichigo11234 let me guess
