That looks kind of cool, I don't get the whole wind-up toy angle though.

Hopefully one of these years, before Nintendo has too many Pokemon, they'll put a team together and develop a 100% Pokemon Smash Bros. spin-off.

One can dream :(

This looks a lot like Digimon World 1, not that I'm complaining.

This is the game I dreamed about when I was eleven. It would pretty sweet if you could import your own Pokemon team, but I doubt it.

Its a very unique direction for them to take, i'll grant.

Is there some reason that I'm unaware of as to why out of all the Pokemon, they chose to highlight Rattata so much in the beginning? He's never had a very prominent role in anything, but he's not quite so useless that it's funny like with Bidoof. Silly Japanese commercials.

Hey, Bidoof isn't THAT useless. You can...evolve it into Bibarel and have yourself an HM slave. Also it can STAB with those HMs.

Even for Wiiware the visuals look bleh. Pretty much N64 era.

It might still be fun, but it looks a bit repetitive to me.

The art style sucks. Pokemon Snap STILL looks better than this garbage, and it's 10 years old.

They just took the graphics engine from My Pokemon Ranch and recycled it into this game. Aside from the graphics, this game looks pretty fun, though it looks like it's inspired by the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games.

Which is totally lame.

Nintendo needs to quit wasting our time with lame Pokemon spin-offs that have no bearing on the main series.

Really, people need to quit buying all of this sh1t. Maybe then Nintendo will make the fully rendered 3D realtime MMO that we all want.

this looks pretty cool. i've always wanted a more action RPG style pokemon game in addition to the normal turn based games as well (and for them to be on a home console). so bad visuals be damned, this might get a buy from me, especially if i can transfer in my Pokemon from Pearl.

i'm still waiting on a Zelda style action RPG Pokemon game where i actually control the Pokemon in battle in real time (more like how the TV show used to portray the battles). this seems like a step in the right direction.

Another website described this as Pokemon meets SmashTV.

I want my Smash TV on VC/WiiWare. :(

$15, though? This better feature robust content.

I feel like this is the formula for Japanese video game commercials...

The reason they are wind-up toys? Easy. Pokemon can't hurt each other, it is the next step in the IP
