Best Pokémon game ever
It's really hard to play again any other Pokémon game after starting this one. The story is... well, there IS a story, and good enough to be liked by 18 years old people like me, with great characters, and for the first time in a Pokémon game everything is not about collecting Gym Badges, far for it. Your hero or heroine now is a teen, and it's great not to have every villains saying "hey, but you're just a kid !". The battles are more intense than ever with the Pokémon constantly moving, the camera following them all the long. And it's faster. Really faster, first time I don't get bored after a lot of fights. Not only the battles, but choosing an item in the bag is easier, and you can have multiple commands saved with the select button. As with every new generation, the strategy is enhanced with great possibilities. And one thing that really made me love this game is the soundtrack, beautiful and intense. I actually put my DS aside more than one time, stopping playing just to hear the musics for a while ! Of course, playing the game in japanese make the experience even greater, with original Pokémon and moves' names. If you have the minimum basics and can real hiragana and katakana, don't hesitate, it may actually improve your competences in this language (worked for me). And you will benefit of the japanese wi-fi events and Dream World !
