Design
Over the years Pokemon has gone through several changes and additions from small original Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue. I personally did not play after Red And Blue really, and so I went years without any experience with the newer titles. As someone who played the originals and nothing more, I feel I can speak for some newcomers as well. This game has a lot of great features and different ways to catch Pokemon! Between the several types of Pokeballs that can be used in different scenarios to make catching them eaiser, to a day and night system that affects which Pokemon will appear, you will find that while the core elements are the same all year round you will defiantly still be playing well… all year round.
Some events to catch exclusive Pokemon happen once a week. Some Pokemon you can only get on your Pokewalker that acts as a real life pedometer. Some can only be caught in water in one region, and some in water in only another! The list goes on and on, and with nearly 500 possible Pokemon to catch, almost everywhere you go brings new kinds and types available for you to capture! Oh, and there are some Pokemon exclusive to your version, so trading will be a must as well!
Gameplay / Controls
The gameplay is simple. It’s based on strategy and a limited number of moves that each Pokemon can learn. You have to be wise on what your party of Pokemon that you carry with you is like. All water types? Then electric will kick your butt. Got a great mix but they don’t have the most ideal moves? Then fighting with someone in a real life battle will become a struggle. There is a lot to learn for such a simple game, but the mechanics are there to make it as deep as you want to be for battle. As far as controls go, there is nothing to it and is an easy game to pick up and play almost right away.

Music
Play this game for more then 15 minutes a day, and the music might get to you. It’s simple, but sometimes a little catchy. Not much to say about it, as it does have a limited range of songs.
Presentation
The sprites in this game work well. With the day/night system being affected by a real time clock, the graphics feel very welcoming to when you play. The whole package of how battles work and strategy can be as big as you want, is a great feeling for both casual players and masters.

Conclusion
This game is great, especially if you have lots of friends with it. Trading, helping each other out, bragging, it’s all kinds of fun! I can easily give these two games, a 4 out of 5.
