About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a more emotional, slightly darker Pokémon adventure with a big fantasy quest and a strong bond theme; Not for you if you dislike corny kids humor or messy plotting like in Pokémon 4Ever.

Pros: epic opening; emotional adventure; charming fantasy setting | Cons: confusing subplots; cheesy dialogue; uneven tone shifts
