>>20117714I liked them for providing an actual single player campaign that broke away from the traditional "8 gym, elite 4, champion" formula as well as ditching single battles for double battles.
The biggest problem with the games were that you could only catch a small number of pokemon in your adventure. I think colosseum only allowed you to catch around 50 and gale of darkness around 100. And of course there were no routes to explore, the story had you going from city to city via with your weird motorbike thing, occasionally climbing your way through a staircase or through a narrow tunnel purely for the sake of the plot. You couldn't really "explore" the Orre region.
Overall it was an interesting take on pokemon but the game didn't quite match the quality of its handheld counterparts.
