I purchased Pokémon Rumble yesterday, and oh my God, I played it all night and most of this morning. I know some people dislike the Pokémon Ranch models (I kinda find it hard to distinguish their silhouettes >_<), but I like their cute, small figures. And the game is actually a challenge, unlike most other Pokémon games I've played, and you need a quick mind (in certain situations) to get through it.
Currently I've just begun Advanced mode in Rank C. It's fun to see what you get when you release certain Pokémon, but farming for certain Pokémon to get their evolutions and/or pre-evolutions can get ridiculously annoying and repetitive. You have no idea how hard it is to start with a Rhyhorn and end up with a Rhyperior XD;
But I really hate that Rumble doesn't include the 2nd and 3rd Generations...why?? It would make the game so much better. Nintendo should either offer a free update to the game in the future, an update that is a cut cost of the original, or simply a direct sequel. I guess it's a marketing strategy to make more money?
This is definitely one of my favourite Wii games, and my single favourite spin-off (though I've yet to play the Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of... games D:), although it might get repetitive on occasion. I like the addition of "Special Traits," and it's fun and exciting to see what you get. And it's quite challenging to befriend the specific Pokémon that you want, like bosses and such.
But, speaking of boss Pokémon, is there a certain trick to making them tip over?
