When this came out I was aghast at how bad the game looked during battles. (Not to mention that it looked like any SNES game while in the field.) The gnarly anime intro sequence felt like a con! But even with my opinion of the game being as low as it was, I still was too young to grasp the full extent of the game's badness, as even the writing is terrible- You're somehow expected to know right off the bat that the guy's pet hamster is able to talk, let alone which of them is currently talking.
