Hi all! I have bought this game recently, like 3 days ago and by far I have had the best experience ever on this game. I have the original copy on my DS version 10-15 years ago but I don't think I ever got to finish it. I loved it back then as well. If you are looking for an Nostalgic/original pokemon classic linear game. This is the game for you. I have never played any pokemon games after Gen 4 so playing this brought me back so many memories on why I loved pokemon in the first place. I love the Isometric top down camera angle of this game. I hope to see more other pokemon games in this format. A remake but in 3D graphics makes it more beautiful and inspiring to look at. Being able to explore underground and catching wild pokemons and knowing what to catch just made the game more appealing. However I love the tall grass wild feature not knowing which pokemon is battling me. It is more challenging this way. I hope they still continue this style aswell. Looking at the negative reviews on this game don't make sense to me. I think going open world for pokemon is also a great idea too but I think Gamefreak should definitely focus on the quality, the story, the amount of content than rushing to finish a game every year. Back to the review; It reminds me of ''Pokemon Battle Revolution'' and this game happening all in one instead of buying 2 separate games. I hope ILCA will continue this genre. Personally this game is what I wanted 10 years ago. I am enjoying every moment of this game, it is super fun and addicting. I would like to see Gold and silver remakes including my all time favorite Emerald. Negatives. Not Worth $100 NZ because it is a Remake and its literally the same game not much new things or expansions even added to it. its weird that SW/SH is the same price. I notice 1 thing versing the gym trainers use the same pokemons that I have fought from normal trainers. Wish for more diverse and varieties of Pokemons when it came to the gym otherwise its too easy! 8/10 for me Good job ILCA
