I'm pleasantly surprised!
Usually when you can get a Pokemon game for a decent price it means that it wasn't very good. And, I thought this one was sort of sequel of sorts to the Pokemon mystery dungeon games, but it isn't! What I'm enjoying so far is that it has the collecting and travelling parts of the games, but without any of the micromanaging (or really managing) RPG side of things. You're a young Pokemon ranger - they're sort of Pokemon community cops who help people with their Pokemon (so, not really crimes - just "oh no, there's some grimers in the water treatment plant, please help!"). The catching part is 100% action based - you use the stylus to draw circles around Pokemon (there's more to it than that, because you can use other Pokemon to help you out, but mostly it's frantic drawing on the 2nd screen - trying to catch them...), and that's pretty much it. I mean, you have a device with energy, Pokemon have abilties that can help catching, but also to overcome obstacles in the world, every Pokemon is "one use" and then you set them free... and that's it. Mostly story! So, I'm on Mission 5 (I'm guessing there's like 12 or so?) and it's pretty fun - the Pokedex seems smaller and you improve just by moving along on the story...
Neat stuff, and a nice surprise!
