Fill me in about this game. My kid loved the DS lite btw. Since she has been hogging my Emerald version for my gameboy micro, we went to the used game store to let her pick out her very first Pokemon.

There were some others, but considering that price was an issie, we settled on Shadown of Almia, since it was about fifteen bucks.

Now she has been playing this non stop since yesterday, but she wasn't raised on it like us and doesn't have much to compare it to. Even on emerald she just went around battling and catching.

But from watching, I can tell it's a non tradition pokemon game, which dissapointed me. My heart dropped when she started playing and I saw it used a non traditional combat system. WTF is up with this stylus capture. I looked it up and it seems the reviews are lukewarm at best.

Like I said, it has worked out because she is enjoying it, and we are sitting here playing side by side, which is awesome.But somebody tell me about this game. Did any of you enjoy it and what was Nintendo thinking lol.

Haven't played it myself, since I stick to traditional Pokemon (like Emerald) but Pokemon has it's fair share of spin offs. I guess it'd be Pokemon's version of Super Mario RPG. Y'know, a game that is wildly different to the rest? I dunno. I've played a little Pokemon Dungeon in my day and it wasn't my thing.

So ye. It isn't a main series game, so that's why it's different.


If ye want main series:

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.

Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver.

Pokemon Black/White.

Pokemon Black/White 2.


Those are the main series ones for DS, but like you said, they're more expensive so I dunno.

Kewl and thx.

Honestly I didn't know. Some of the more recent titles passed me by and I thought this was one of them. Yeah, the ones I did recognize where much more expensive, and since we just got the DS, we had to lowball. There is no battling. You have to use the stylis for capturing and the pokemon you get aid in obsticles. Wierd.

As I said, no big loss, as she is clearly having fun.

And it lets you choose a Munchlax as your first pokemon. As a big Snorlax fan, I can't hate on dat.

Next time though I will check this list l0l. If it was me, I would have been pissed.

I've made that mistake before on other games. Ages ago I wanted Combat of Dinosaurs for DS, but I couldn't find it so I bought a game titled "Dino Masters" instead... It sucked.
