>>36780764Honest and unbiased* review
Pros:
-Doubles are more fun than singles
-A lot of shit to do outside of the main story, and you don't have to wait for the postgame to do it. Plus the battling puzzles and minigames are really fun.
-Local Multiplayer battles with rented Pokemon with only one controller needed (not actually a plus but I had a lot of fun with it as a kid).
-At times it can actually provide a decent level of challenge
Cons:
-So. Fucking. Slow. (If you're a kid and it's your first 3d Pokemon game you probably won't notice it, but as an adult it's a problem)
-Some stretches of gameplay have way too many unavoidable battles in a row which, combined with the slow pace of combat will make you want to kill yourself.
-Purifying shadow pokemon will get boring.
