Pretty fun game, had to replay it for my Pokémon series re-playthrough I'm doing this year because I haven't replayed it since I was about 12
Not gonna say much but a good change of pace from the original franchise, all battles are double battles and you have a set limit of Pokémon you can use for team building.
Towards the end of the game some of the level jumps can be really absurd for no reason, like c'mon bro why am I facing level 60 Pokémon when my team is like 45 at best. Catching Shadow Pokémon in this game.. kinda sucks sometimes, they only have one move which is basically a crappier version of Take Down and you cant use more moves unless you unlock them. A lot of the Pokémon options kinda suck (since most of them are Gen 2 Pokémon which are known to be bad) but I will say if you plan a proper team out while playing this game it might be a little more fun. I'd personally recommend using at least one of the Legendary dogs, Flygon, Misdreavus, Typhlosion/Feraligatr/Ampharos (depending on which dog you use,) and Espeon if this is your first time playing the game as they'll make the game slightly easier since like I said, very annoying artificial difficulty.
Side note: I love Umbreon but in this game it SUCKS, seriously it learns like no good moves and being behind in levels constantly doesn't help either.
Overall I'd say worth playing once but this replay definitely hurt my nostalgia for this game.
