In retrospect, the art/modelling is kinda cute for what it is but at the time of playing I found it awful. The music is nice and suits the region pleasingly. The PSS was really cool and useful- the touch screen utilisation in general was effective and fun. I found it quite easy and never lost a plot entwined battle though whose fault that is I could not say. Mega evolution was perfect; it felt special and the designs were awesome, I think instead of new gimmick p/new gen they should have kept mega ev and given it regional twists or lore or plot relevance. New mon designs mostly mid. Fairy type cool. Story/characters lacked depth I did not really care for any of them, Looker missions post story were good.

My first DS game. Was quite upset at this fact but ended up enjoying it. Its simple, but fun and the right level of challenging for my 7 year old self. Progression was a bit slow at times? But I could have just been 7 and stupid. I remember controls being a bit janky but eh. My brother and I had all but one card when my sister deleted the save file, the bitch. Too upset to touch it again.
