Completely worthless racing game with the Pokémon name slapped onto it that feels more like a tech demo that they grabbed by the neck and kicked out the door because the DS was coming and they could make some extra dough just by adding Pikachu onto the box.
All you do for the most part is just swipe on the DS screen like you've never swiped before, it's gimmicky in every sense of the word and it's never fun doing it either.
It's completely lacking in content as well with only five cups, 25 courses (most of which are very short) and there's no other Pokémon to play as or even unlock, the other mons you see here are just for show and nothing else.
And on top of that, the game doesn't look very good either outside of Pikachu's adorable Channel model being reused for menus and you can even play around with him too via the touch screen (let's be honest, they put all the effort into that and not with the actual game itself).
It may have been the first Pokémon game to come out on the Nintendo DS but that didn't mean it was good, and of course it isn't. Ignore this even if you are a diehard Pokémon fan.
