Very disappointing for the first console mainline pokemon game. I know the comparison is overdone but the colosseum games came out years ago and look far better and play far better than this game does on a modern system. Its very obvious the game was rushed with cut pokemon, awful animations, and a nonexistent story. The progression in this game feels like a straight line that sometimes splits its about as boring and linear as pokemon gets. Its a shame a series as big as pokemon had a fall this hard.
