Cute little game with cute little pokemon but other than that there's nothing really here to do

i remembered this existed, so i booted up my wii, opened the game and got this welcome message:

"long time no see! havent seen you for 6 years"

most powerful moment in gaming history

Trying to stack Pokémon on top of each other was the best thing about this game

Cute. I remember playing this as a kid.

What the medium has always needed
A small town patriot defending his homestead from an invasion of California liberals

The only real value this game has is that it used to be one of the only legitimate ways to get Mew at the time. Otherwise, there's not much to do. I wish there were more ways to interact with your Pokémon, like in Pokémon Channel, but there really isn't. As IGN described in its review, the game just feels like a "screensaver" almost.
