This game could do a lot more with it's concept, but as it stands it is a very friendly way to try to get into Pokemon as the game let's you control the difficulty (i.e. It's your choice if you would like to use retries or save scum) and Pokemon has many resources online to help you learn about what's optimal. On the flipside, this game is also a way to test your knowledge if you're more accustomed to the series.
