Graphics- 8.2: For the time, it looks great. The animations I still love. Overall above average.

Sound- 10: The music at times can be extremely epic. 

Addictiveness- 10: This game leaves you wanting play many times over again, that's pretty rare.

Story- 4.3: Just about a kid who trains monsters to become the best.

Depth- 10: You have 151 Pokémon to choose from, so there are many diverse sets of teams you can create.

Difficulty- 7.2: As much as I enjoy this game, it's very vague with controls, and the CPU's  are predictable, but CAN give you a challenge.

Conclusion- A few flaws, some biased fan (including myself). But what makes this game good is the fact of how delightful simplicity, the beauty of the lands, just all those new they added to turn based RPGs. I say give this game a play, it is what Pokémon perfects, the music, the graphics, the simplicity of it. Truly, it's the magic of Pokémon.

   The Pokémon games are cool, but I want to see the upgrade in gaming quality though.  I want to see more 3D quality fights and new attack and defense maneuvers.  I want to see Pickachu attacking with a bolt of lightning from Odin as a finishing move or something like this.  Or he could jump on his opponent and electrocute him.  Pickachu could create lightning bombs or static bolts that cling his appoint to the grown while he land a combo or zap his life points.  I want to see more cut screen action.  Perhaps create a movie seen in the game from all the fights you won.  So, after defeating your opponent you could watch it in you browser.
