DANGERMAN Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I like this, I feel like I shouldn't but I do. It's very simple 2 button, 2 move mashey combat with matches taking place in an arena. You have a team of 4 pokemon, if you are playing alone then A.I. controls the other pokemon (there's no online option)Sometimes when you knock out a pokemon it will be added to your collection, this is how you get stronger pokemon to fight in the tougher arenas.The nfc stuff is cool, as much as a pokemon game with plastic toy can be. You put it on the controller and spend the money you earned fighting raising its power and swapping in better moves.The only downside is I've upset pokemon fans on the miiverse by mistaking a sheep looking pokemon for a sheep when it's actually a wingless dragon or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambob Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Can you do something like trade these to te 3ds versions coming out or anything like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 nope, it's all very offline, which is a bit of a shame, because I think it would be fun to take your character in to matches with other people. The only thing you could trade are the figures, but apart from duplicates you've bought I'm not sure why you'd do that really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thats a shame, if so, you could have in theory had your little pokemon buddy in almost real life. Mirroring the way you actually get them given to you in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 yeah, it'd be nice if they found a way to tie it in to X&Y, or at least whatever the next Rumble game ends up being. I can't say I'm too interested in Skylanders or the Disney thing, but having a little toy thing you could take around and use in other games/other peoples games is a great idea. Basically like a gamerscore or an online profile, something that shows your progress and you keep with you for a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm not sure what this means in terms of sales, but I've been to 2 different Game stores and both had sold out of pokemon figures. One of them still had quite a few of the limited editions in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 I completed this tonight and I'm surprised by how much I've enjoyed it. There isn't a lot to it, certainly in terms of combat, but the challenges and pokemon collecting make it, they mean you have to use your head and some skill in the arenas. It still generally just means hitting the A button over and over, but you might also have to target certain things, protect certain things, worry about collecting money, make sure you don't destroy a certain thing, and target pokemon you want in your collection. There's quite a bit of slowdown at points, usually when there's loads of pokemon and affects from their attacks, it doesn't happen all that often but considering what the game looks like it shouldn't happen at all, and I suspect if this was built from the ground up for the WiiU it wouldn't. The other downside are my figures, the Kyurem is so strong that there's no point using him until things get tougher or you want to rush through the game and then complain it's short. The other character I got, Deoxys, I don't like, I don't like psychic types. It kind of doesn't matter because you can swap out its moves to ones you want, but for whatever reason I don't like him and would pick other characters, I imagine this would be different if my figure had been a Turtwig/Grottle/Torterra, a Tepig, Infernape, or even Emolga If you play it trying to beat all the challenges you can then you'll get quite a lot out of it, I've apparently spent almost 12 hours with it and will probably go back (I'm fighting the urge to buy another figure). It's a shame there isn't a bit more to it, online co-op would have been nice, maybe even a giant battle royalle with 30 players or something (although everyone would just use Kyurem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dioxys is one of the download only Pokemon isn't it, like Mew and Celebi? In the main cannon of games I mean. I was in GAME today and there was a kid asking the staff when they were getting more of the toys in, so obviously it's done better than they were expecting. I'm not sure if 'they' it levelled at Nintendo, GAME or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 well it seems like we almost didn't get the figures at all so it might simply be down to lack of stock rather than good sales. Clearly though if they are selling out that's a good thing, they've recouped whatever it cost to make them. They could do with giving this another push when the 3DS Pokemon comes out, or nearer to christmas, letting it just wane seems like a missed opportunity and I've no idea about pokemons outside of Black and Diamond tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
