I just picked up this beauty (and it cost me almost 45 euros, yes it did !) and since I am at my dad's, I can't play it. But from the reviews I have just read, I can see it got quite negative feedback.

Why ? From what I've seen so far, it looks pretty nice and I can't play it... heck, I got to wait till Monday... -_-'

So yeah, you Americans will be getting it on the 1st November (*victory dance* finally Europe > USA at release dates). But some Europeans and Australians from the Forum have it, soooo...

Discuss. :-)

And, some fragments from GameFAQs (game cover also from there) :

The first Pokemon adventure game on the Wii console puts Pikachu at the center of a fun, expansive playground filled with adventure, Attractions and Pokemon. The Rare Pokemon Mew summons Pikachu to the PokePark to find the missing Sky Prism Pieces, leaving it up to Pikachu to save the day!
Basically, it's an Adventure/Action Pokemon Game, with no RPG elements. I find refreshing from the original tbh, so this is why I might also review it in the future.

i really want this game. i think it looks really cool but ya it has been getting alot of bad review because of the controls i think.
i cant wait until november when i can buy this game it just looks way to awesome. plus you get to be pikachu ^_^
It got bad scores because of the weird camera. You press B then use the WiiMote to move around. Since that Wii Sensor is placed in a wrong position for me, it's gonna be a pain...

And Pikachu, ... of course, the Chu ripoff. I live with it. And I don't mind it.

I actually played the game in Japanese which I couldn't understand and still beat it.
Honestly I thought it would have been fun controlling more Pokemon, except when in races/challenges. Even though I can't understand Japanese the story looked (and felt) meh

Yeah, the story revolves around Mew who is dying because of the PokePark friendship fading. And you need to get Prism Pieces, blah blah...
Or something like that, anyway !
Well, I had just arrived to Iceberg Zone to talk to Empoleon. I am mostly impressed by the graphics of this game, but the camera control = UGH. I can hardly even look around for Hide and Seek.
Oh, and I managed to beat Torterra and Feraligatr. Damn 4 HP bars...

Okay, I am stuck in the last zone. I need "Three Words of Wisdom" or so says Flygon.
Thing is, I refuse to use any guides. Evil game, you're going down. >:-)

Word locations in spoiler:
Spoiler:
First, you need to see Porygon Z. He's in the Granite Zone. Beat his quiz and you've got secret word #1.
Togekiss has the next word. Beat her at Obstacle Hop and you'll have secret word #2.
However, the last secret word is not in the Granite Zone. You need to go all the way to the Cavern Zone for secret word #3. Once you're at the Cavern Zone, go to the Hot Spring. Not to relax, you fool, for the last secret word! Give Snorlax a Big Berry for secret word #3.

I absolutely <3 Pokepark!
I'm a Pokepark Expert, I've befriended all 193, beaten Mew, taken awesome photos, etc. If anyone needs any help, they can PM me, or post in this thread.

I was really exited about this too, I mean it looks beautiful and I was hoping with the big range of Pokemon and their themed areas along side that there'd be some really interesting 'quests' (for lack of a better word) but after watching quite a few videos I just kept seeing the same mechanism over and over, consisting of simply attacking other Pokemon with your very limited moveset in waiting for the fanfare prompting your success. What you've achieved I haven't a clue. :/

Is this all there is to it? If so I'm a little disappointed. Of course if I'm wrong someone please tell me!

It was actually pretty boring, but it was so beautiful and cool, I might give it an 8 at least.
And I found those words, but I'm too lazy to continue on with Salamence's Attraction. Like, too lazy to boot up my Wii and move my hands.
Tomorrow I'll post my final thoughts on the game and make a review in the special section.

And no, there's only 193 Pokemon, there's kinda boring and repetitive games and stuff. It just isn't worth it to 100% it. :/ Well, get it simply to see what great graphics can the Wii achieve through hard work. Nothing special about this game.

Okay, I finally finished it.
WARNING ! This spoiler might wreck the last level of the game, The Sky Pavilion. (even though the storyline is so shallow it might not actually do anything).

Spoiler:
You reach the sky pavilion, but Mew is hiding. He's a Piplup, the one which is not your friend. Next, you have the biggest Obstacle Hop Skill Game in PokePark, then you get to battle a Magmortar, garchomp and Tyranitar. O_O Then, you chase Mew, and you've WON !


I'm bored of this game. His resting place : my room.

The game is not actually half bad, it's kinda annoying that you can't get around quicker other than dashing, and Pikachu's running speed is just -.-' I love the battling though:D

And randomly smashing into random Pokemon XD; then zapping them :')

Sydian, you don't like Spin off's yet your the moderator of Spin offs ._.

Anyway, Spending 1000, 1500 berries u.u to increase my running speed is always nice. /obvious sarcasm.

I forgot to mention how ridiculously short this game is. Started playing this morning now at the Granite zone -__- /No life.

The parts where you battle other Pokemon with Pikachu seems interesting. It's like an actual battle you would see in the anime. I've always thought that it would be awesome if Nintendo could pull off a game that was like that, except being able to use every Pokemon, not just Pikachu, of course.

I don't know if I will get this game. It just came out today in the United States. It looks like it will probably just be a huge disappointment, like Pokemon Battle Revolution was. However, my obsession with Pokemon might just win over my logic.

I wish Nintendo would take more pride with their spin-offs. Mystery Dungeon, imo, has been the best spin-off series to date, so that shows it is within Nintendo's capacity to make a good Pokemon spin-off game.

I just got this game from the US. I enjoy the battle part of the game. I'm not a huge fan of the chasing though. My favorite attraction so far is the Bastiodon's Panel Crush. The game is so cute though. I'm so glad that I bought it.

I can see why it's really short. You just go around hopping about, battling, running, etc. And on the back of the case it even says : "Run. Jump. Smash.". Lol.

I now have 173 Pokemon befriended, and I only need a few more legends, Metagross, stuff and Rotom. Ugh. His attraction sucks. ):

And yes, Pikachu's moving speed is a disappointment. And actually all of the tutors start charging crazy prices for stupid things.

You can play as the other Pokemon in the attractions however, in the story mode you just play as Pikachu. It would have been nice if they added a small story mode to the game once you beaten it.
