Genre: RPG
Players: 1-2

ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)

Progress: Cleared all Colosseums once

Well, I’ve probably already lost all my credibility by reviewing a Pokemon game, but because of the bad TV show, people who play Pokemon games are branded as immature children.  What most people don’t understand is that the main Pokemon games are actually well-crafted RPGs.  However, does this peripheral installment in the best selling RPG series of all time live up to the standard set before it?
