Pokemon fans rejoice, this is the best franchise release for quite some time!
You’ve probably heard the story before — take on the role of a young Warlord and nab those Warrior allies to strengthen your growing kingdom.
With nearly 200 Pokemon, including many from the recent Black and White versions, you’ve got to juggle the correct Pokemon type to inflict maximum damage on your opponents.
This results in a bursting bundle of turn-based skirmishes, where different tactics will be needed for intense six-on-six battles, as battle conditions can change on every turn.
Beautiful to look at, with just the right amount of new content and strategy elements, there’s another glut of game experiences to uncover here.
While the story itself may not be the most riveting of tales, this is a title that will relight the fire of Pokemon fans around the globe, and suck in countless newbies along the way.
