This is the most fun I've had playing a pokemon game in YEARS. It screams of needing an extra 6 months to polish it, as there's tons of areas it could be improved, but I've had such a great time with it it's hard to bring myself to care.

Its just /fun/, and makes catching pokemon rewarding with the new pokemon research system, and expands on combat in an interesting way with strong and agile moves.

Probably a bit too complex for the under-8s, but for anyone older it will be a fun time.
