    Good, but a bit repetitive.

    Owned for more than 2 years by when reviewed.

    The game is pretty, the Pokemon are well designed, the characters are interesting, and it has a good pace of game. However, once you finish the main quests, it's very boring. In addition, the Pokemon Camps had a LOT of untapped potential, but they're decent as they are.
