I gave this a go for a while because I like the trainer designs like I imagine most people did. But of course all the battling is done by the pokemon so you don't really get much from the trainer side in the gameplay. It also doesn't help that the gameplay is incredibly monotonous and can be slow as molasses even on 3x speed because of how slow the action bar charges up. On the positive side, the presentation is pretty high quality with some really nice-looking models.
